Hot Toys MMS437 - Episode III ROTS Anakin Skywalker 1/6 Collectible Figure

[MaulFan]

With no NRD and $4 flat rate shipping, I'm sure they get a lot more business these days.

So Tarkin... A character with pages of Freak Board posts gets luke warm reception at Check Out. "Basic Logic" would suggest that the number of posts in this forum doesn't equate to sales. Hell, the John Lennon Molecule 8 figure thread is a monster. How many figures have they sold?



Lots of posts = lots of cheap talking. Again basic logic.

Where have I been, you ask? Lurking. Reading what little real info there is here and closing the window. Being a member of this forum since 2004, I'm WAY passed boosting my post count by posting in threads telling everyone what I've pre-ordered. I don't find much kinship among collectors anymore because I read so much hate and bile... especially comments directed toward Lucas and the prequels. I'm so tired of members of this forum trolling in threads and commenting on figures that they have no interest in purchasing. What's the point? Why tear someone down for their individual tastes? The collecting world is a big one... it has room for all tastes.

I get it. You don't like the prequels.

Move along.

Thank you. I get so tired of people coming into these figures or statue threads just to bash the prequels.

That's disappointing Tarkin isn't selling well, I definitely ordered one. I also ordered Anakin. I want this Hot Toys Star Wars line to keep rolling!

BBTS has it as sold out? Really?

More than likely PO's should open up again

I'd like to see a hot toys asajj ventress and count dooku. I never could bite on that sideshow figure of asajj, did once own the PF though. EX sculpt was my favorite, sadly i like 1:6 over quarter ratio for sure. Anyways, got Anakin from bbts. If there was a ex version of this through SS, might of swayed me but BBTS is just better for domestic purchases. No tax, cheap shipping and typically no NRD.

Still hoping the Vader transformation set comes eventually. With operating table, medical droid, and burned Hayden HS.

Wow, what happened to you? You used to be a nice guy.


In any event, my earlier query about interest has been proven wrong as Anakin did in fact sell out at BBTS. And damn quick. At the end of the day, that's all I was questioning.

Wow that was a quick PO sell out at BBTS. I'm sure they'll get more in, but glad I preordered him yesterday from them!

Best get your order in day 1 at bbts if you think the item you want is going to be popular. There really isn't any reason not to.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Absolutely. Hoth Leia was the same way. Although this is probably the fastest I've seen.

 

[Mike86]

I was considering ordering one from BBTS just in case I decide that I want it but if their pre-order is sold out I guess I'll have to see if they get more. Not going to throw down an NRD for this character.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Considering the fast sell-out I would imagine they will make more available. HT I mean, not necessarily BBTS. Likely there will be plenty when this ships.

But I've become suspicious of HT's first offerings. It seems likely they will offer another Anakin variant at some point. Perhaps a cloakless fighting Anakin from the Final Duel, with Sith eyes and a more "weathered (damaged)" outfit.

 

[MaulFan]

I preordered, overall I liked my Sideshow Anakin and this is of course a big upgrade over that. July 2018 release gives a lot of time to figure out a way to make it happen and see if an accompanying Obi-Wan will happen.

Question, do they still do double box shipping with the $4 flat rate option?

As far as this figure goes: awesome piece. Ordered via BBTS. $4 shipping is a killer deal

 

[Mike86]

I'm pretty sure that BBTS always charged $4 in the past and double boxed. I think they just advertise that more as a perk since they revamped their website.

He went bananas?

(Sorry, I've had bananas on my mind all day since reading Protozaius' post!)

Since they made his saber I hope that Count Dooku is not far behind.

The company of prequel trolls has soured my disposition.

I miss this forum when it was a smaller closer knit group.

Perhaps I've merely overstayed my welcome.

You have to order figures from BBTS quickly they sell out fast there because no NRD (you get people that order that cant afford it anyway), but they usually end up open again closer to when the figure ships.. Dr Strange is a good example of that.. it was pre sold out forever but now is available, same thing happened with deadpool

Re: Hot Toys Episode 3 Anakin

Awesome Figure. Actually a Star Wars grail for me. I know people hate on Prequels but I really liked ROTS and I got to watch ROTJ as a kid in theater so it's not like I grew up with prequels. Jedi Luke and Anakin will be front in center in my collection.

Although... I'm unclear as to why calling you out on your misguided "PT is just not ready yet" snub makes me no longer a nice guy. Especially in the light of a single day's sales of Anakin.

You gotta admit. The tone in your post was pretty condescending... and an insult to those who enjoy the prequels.

Your armchair analysis of the situation was clouded by your feelings toward the prequels.
