The regular Palpy is tempting.

Is Timewalker a reputable store? I've never ordered from them before.

How does Timewalker beat SS at their pricing? That's a savings of $15.

They’re fantastic. I ordered the HT Artoo from them this week and had it within 2 days.

Yes, very reputable.

The best out there. They really went above and beyond keeping everyone updated on the BW Ghostbusters and gave everyone who paid early (when BW said they would ship and did not) a $40 coupon that was good for a year.

All the figures they put up for PO are cheaper than SS.

Cool! Might have to order through them. Not only are they offering the discount, but you get free shipping on orders over $350.

Order the Deluxe Emp and one Red Guard and get free shipping too.

Yep if I read it correctly. The figures have to ship together. But I have a feeling that these two figures will be coming out within a month of each other.

Might have to cancel my orders and go there. They double box too. The best spot to grab two guards. They have a “Buy 2 and Save” deal at $381.99. Timewalker FTW

Because SS is a distributor and shouldn't undercut the MSRP because they make money on all sales from who they distrubte to and don't need to undercut everyone else who's selling them. I'm sure there's plenty of margin with these figures that $15 won't do much. I was browsing Timewalker and they're selling Sideshow's own items for less than SS is.

I haven't used them before but they're reputable so I'm going everything with them. Along with the Deluxe Emperor it's a total of $681. $44 cheaper than SS/BBTS and free shipping!

Well, this is the ROTJ Emperor and not Darth Sidious so he wouldn't have his sabers. Possibly down the line they might make a ROTS version to go along with Anakin, shouldn't be too hard for them now. Possibly a summer 2019 Con Exclusive.

They could also easily make a PT Yoda to go along with those figures.

He still presumably had the lightsabers on him when he died, he simply didn't use them in the film.

 

[echo1126]

Just placed my order through Timewalker. Ordered Palp DX and one guard; $498 and you do get free shipping.

 

[TonTon]

^^they might release at different times despite the estimates.

 

[surforia]

Kudos to HT for taking its time and re-working this sculpt, which i feel is not only more accurate, but also captures the feeling/expression of the character. Definitely getting the deluxe + one guard.

Preordered deluxe at BBTS..no NRD

How’s the ordering process? Do they charge the total when you Preordered or is there a down payment?

 

[K1NG J0RDAN]

They charge when the item arrives. I choose PayPal invoice for my orders. Never any sudden surprises.

No down payment until it's ready to ship. This is from the Palpatine with Throne order terms:

Pre-Orders

A pre-order is a reservation for a product that has been announced but not yet released. Anticipated release dates and product specifications given are approximate and subject to change without notice. You will not be billed for a pre-order until the product arrives in the US unless otherwise stated in the product description. Our shopping cart assumes all items are in-stock and calculates shipping accordingly. Orders that combine pre-orders and in-stock items may be subject to additional shipping charges.

There was nothing stated in the product ordering page that stated otherwise btw:
