Seems like Sideshow should be getting and shipping this any day now

Hurry up sideshow. She looks great with her arms down, just standing there.

 

[davejames]

Good thing, because that's about the only pose you can put her in.

Received my order from KG hobbies but the name plate on the stand reads “Sith Trooper”. Obviously this isn’t KG’s fault but what are my chances of being sent a correct name plate?

 

[Tee-Kay]

Waiting for my order from KG as well. I'll check that name plate. I usually don't look to closely as i'm not using those stands. Never had issues with figures coming from them so i can't really tell if they are effective with replacement and parts. Get in touch with them. Likely the only way to find out how good they are.

That's a nice quartet of Leia's! Also like the pics in front of the white blinds. Very "Bespin-y"

Processing next Thursday from Sideshow.

Yes, Thursday from sideshow. What the heck is going on with shipping costs at sideshow? They were like $15 not that long ago for regular sixth scale, the. They were like $20 for a real short time and now I’m getting charged $25 for shipping. Pretty crazy increase.

Plus sales tax now on new orders this year.

Got mine from KG Hobby today. Looking great in hand. Only nitpick, i'm having troubles having the back of her dress set right with all these folds.

Yeah, now noticing that there appears to be a distinction between items preordered last year and new orders in 2020. It doesn't appear I'm being taxed for Leia but new orders now add sales tax.

I'm really kicking myself now for not preordering the Rancor statue so I could save up more points

Leia shipping notice arrived from sideshow. Should ship on the 16th. I hope they meant 2020.

I saw someone on FB post they were getting charged almost $30 to ship the Sith Trooper. Absolutely ridiculous. I know they're giving out a ton of rewards points, but at this point, all they equate to is a few shipping/tax for a couple figures.

They will probably add the tax at shipping for those older pre-orders. Thats what they did when they started collecting sales tax for australian orders.

Well that doesn't sound promising. The shipping soon email sent today gives a total amount owed without mentioning tax. We shall see what happens next Thursday.

Leia shipping is $29. For continental US shipping that is a ludicrous.

Perhaps the law isn't retrospective? Technically the australian law wasn't retrospective, but they applied it anyway.

Collecting in Australia sounds pretty rough based on the feedback I have seen from a lot of folks here. Sounds like prices get pretty high based on different factors like product access, currency strength, etc.
