Still waiting on BBTS’ notification...............................

Is this happening on a regular basis now with BBTS -- getting their stock months later than Sideshow?

I had this problem on Jack Sparrow, and it looks like Yondu may also be delayed. I'm trying to get a consensus on their "new delivery pattern" so I can decide if I want to cancel all my preorders there and go elsewhere. Saving 10-12 bucks on shipping is not worth an additional 3-month wait.

Unlike Jack, I’m ok with the delay on Luke, give me a little breathing room, but it does seem like BBTS is late to get stock from Sideshow, the real question is whether it’s only BBTS or are other bigger shops supplied by Sideshow and also made to wait and only those getting direct from HT get it around the same time.

 

[davejames]

Yeah it does feel like the gap has increased a bit lately. Or maybe I'm just a lot more aware of it than I used to be...

For me, Hoth Leia and the Tarkin/Vader two pack both came in stock and shipped out to me from BBTS within the same week back in February, just a few weeks after collectors on here started receiving them from Sideshow. I have RotJ Luke, ESB Fett, Deluxe RotJ Emperor, and two Royal Guards on order with them. I'm excited for these figures and not happy about the delay, but after the crappy, snarky replies I got from Sideshow customer service when their site wouldn't let me update my debit card, I won't deal directly with SS again. (Scan both sides of my debit card and send it to SS along with a printout from my bank showing my account number? Um, no. Just fix your damn site!) I like and trust BBTS and have yet to have a problem with them, so I guess I'll just have to wait. As an aside, there were also delays with BBTS getting in their stock of "Stranger Things" Pop vinyls and Mcfarlane figures after other stores had them in stock. My problem is, after budgeting and saving, the money for those Hot Toys figures is sitting in the bank waiting to be charged, and I'm afraid I might spend it on something else. When I saw your earlier post about BBTS taking three months to get in Jack Sparrow, I thought, "Aww crap..."

My Tarkin/Vader 2pk took about 2 wks after many received theirs from SSC. Not sure what’s going on now. Also heard some are still waiting on their Luke’s from Sideshow. Maybe 2 different batches like Anakin?

Yeah, I wasn't sure if mine got compressed in the package or something. Mine didn't strike me as being fat, though I can see how it could have been that way. The first thing I noticed was how thin his arms and legs were, so maybe it was a proportional thing.

What's easy about this fig is I decided that Emperor's throne room is the look I'm sticking with, so it was super easy to just find a decent pose and I'm done - no messing with the robe or futzing the vest. Just a guy with a saber on the DS stand. Though I do like the injured hand because it's such a nice hyper-real sculpt, and I was surprised that the blur-effect saber blade worked so nicely. may use that as a swap-out option, though the light-up is too much of a pain to deal with based on what everyone else has said.

One thing I did notice is all the hands seem a bit scaled down over some of my other HT hands.

Yep. The fat suit doesn’t really bother me at all. It makes him look maybe a little puffy in the waist area, but nothing to where it’s just overly discernible. I have mine with the Jedi tunic on, and it didn’t take that long to futz.

Watching Ep 6 with my kid right now. And just burnung up with frustration about what ep7&8 gave us. It’s like JJ and Rian never even saw the OT. Sad.

I got an email last night saying my Luke will charge Wednesday 18th. Looking forward to it.

Timewalker. I realize they get their stock a bit later and it's supposed to ship this week; I just felt like whining a little. [emoji3]

LOL me also. But the wait is worth it to deal with a smaller retailer with actual customer service than SSC.

Lets see who gets theirs first!!

I wouldn’t put it past SSC to hold shipment from another retailer that might be stealing business from them...

I got my TW invoice last week, so be sure you paid your invoice also.

Thanks, they still have him up as a Pre order so that need to update that! Weird they are getting their stock in before Popcultcha though.

You are not alone in that sentiment.

Just picked up a second one off ebay for $220 using the $25 off coupon today. Very excited as there are so many different poses I want with this figure. Can now do a DS and Jabba's Palace!

Yeah me too. Does that mean he’ll be shipped soon?

I assume so. I hope we all have him by Monday.

Just picked up my two. Opened one so far. Its really nice but as issues. One the lack of hands blah blah, but his left sleeve is longer than the right, and the strapping on the back of his boots is seperating, hope glue fixes it, but frustrating. As for the head, neck is a bit too short, causing the outfit to look stocky, some blue tack helps. And lastly the likeness, it seems really close, but also kind of narrow in the face, closer to ANH than RotJ imo.

Edit: got the sleeve issue sorted, arm wasnt plugged in all the way at the elbow

Got mine from KG Hobby last week, not yet had a chance to look over him yet. Setting it up in the coming days as my gaming room is almost finished.
