How the **** did this little ****er sell out before dooku?? I mean wtf is happening here? Rots yoda better be up for po soon, thats the only thing that could explain him selling out relatively fast compared to the other figures released with him. Esb yoda lasted alot longer, had to be a relatively small production run because they are doing rots version too whereas they made more dooku cause this is the last one (he wasnt in rots for long enough to get another one and his costume didnt change whereas yodas did from atoc. Lastly SSC new waitlist system is complete crap, i got on the waitlist for this figure the day it sold out but like all my other waitlist now i never get a conversion. Used to be guaranteed conversion if i got on the first day but now nothing no email not notice it just sits waitlist on my account info. Last waitlist conversion email i got from them was in june 2019 before the change
 
Ive literally had this little guy and Dooku boxed up for months and justtt today I unboxed and posed them both! I?ll share some pics later, but after years of collecting 1/6th figures I realized what?s the best way to make choices as to what to buy, figures must be bought in pairs that go together...is soooo much better when 2 figures end up complimenting each other
 
Hopefully my waitlist coverts, but if not, I will grab the eventual rots version. You snooze you lose. I never thought he would sell out.

Where did you get that kind of info ROTS Yoda is happening? From your own hallucination?

Wait until ROTS Sidious shows up this little green friend will tremendously priced up...inevitably.

Why wouldnt they make rots version? He had more screen time in sith than he had in atoc anyway. Atoc version is supposed to be paired with dooku. If they release a rots sideous they will release rots yoda too, so people can recreate the final battle scene. He wore a different outfit in sith, using the clones version wouldnt be the same. Im just surprised this atoc version sold out so fast, esp faster than dooku. They obviously produced less of yoda
 
They might make a ROTS version. Not unlikely. This one is actually an excellent figure. A better overall figure than Dooku IMO. I don’t think production numbers had anything to do with it selling out. It’s simply an awesome figure.

When it comes to production size you could just obviously guess. But if I were you, I would be looking for alternative sources for AOTC Yoda rather than wait for elusive ROTS version.
 
Since the tooling is all done, and they could basically reuse the AotC head for it, I can totally see HT releasing a RotS version down the road. But I?d fathom that much like this figure, it?ll be a smaller than normal run size. Now how long that wait might be, that would be anyones guess.
 
While I don't doubt HT doing another Yoda... what about his outfit is different in Sith?

Color scheme is different. AOTC is close to OT, ROTS is close to TPM.

I'm the same way with both of them haha, I've been so busy and really need to reconfigure my display. I have almost 8 figures with no home.

And on the RotS Yoda, I think they'd only do it if they did a different expression to entice owners of this one.
 
The mid thigh joint on mine has broke. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to repair this ?

Dremel out a small socket on each side and embed a strong rare earth magnet in both. It won't stop it from being detachable but it will retain the swivel joint.
