I'm not sure if anyone else has asked, but.........

Charged by SS today, hope it gets here fast from HK. :yes

Is there anyone else on here that wishes there was an actual blank head under there and not just a nose? I mean, I'm sure you'll never notice it with posing (unless you having looking up really far - perhaps); but it would have been nice. Just pressing on the face cover and not feeling anything but a nose is a bit odd lol. And it's just crazy how not old the Scout trooper is, but they really dropped the ball on the helmet by get the mouth area so long & the 'ears' being really off. At the same time, I don't want to have to wait who knows how long/spend the money on a better Hot Toys version. But man, it's so reminiscent of modern Hasbro Star Wars figures. It's like they intentionally make an inaccurate version, just so you have to buy a better version a couple years later. The Sideshow TIE pilot always seemed a bit Hasbro-ish to me. Yet another $225+ I'll be spending when Hot Toys does theirs. lol - Sideshow will never change. And my god, that Snowtrooper commander there doing! I mean we get the beautiful Hot Toys prototype just to be majorly let down by SSC stepping in and saying "Nope! You suckers are going to buy our inferior version first." There entire 1/6 Star Wars line is built around impatient collectors - like myself.

I feel ya, but with the commander we may get a joint effort. I highly doubt that what was on display is what they are going to sell but then again they did do that horrible snowtrooper the first time around.... I dunno, I wish HT would just sell the proto they did last year.

I received the email saying this will charge on June 14 Wednesday. Very awesome I'm looking forward to this one.

Is this a sideshow order coming from Hong Kong Indy?

Indeed it's a Sideshow order, but it looks like it's going to be arriving in their warehouse according to the email. This is the Battlefront Deluxe version by the way.

Thanks, maybe the battlefront singles are arriving first. I need to figure out my display for these as I have a few coming in.

That could be the case then. Hopefully you get a notice soon as well. Sounds good man I wish I could have more than one too!

Has anyone gotten an email for any of the singles?

Can't believe what these are priced at on eBay right now.

They screwed up my collection plans in that I wasn't intending to go with these, but then I pose them up and think, I'll make room.

Damn, crazy prices.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Where? I can't even find any on ebay?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Why are people paying crazy prices when you can still get them from Sideshow?

Good question!

Theres one on eBay for $600.

 

[davidgray1974]

The two pack is going for $600.00 and single pack for $287.00 on Ebay. I agree with Wor-Gar, why would you pay these prices if they are still available?

 

[illproxy]

cuz they obviously dont know any better or want it now and cant wait.

The single is a pre-order and the 2 pack is shipping from Hong Kong.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Wow that is crazy!

 

[illproxy]

many of us are balls deep in collecting, the casuals that dont know any better are the target in those auctions no?

 

[Wor-Gar]

I'm sure there will be plenty once it starts shipping from Sideshow as always, but I preordered anyway. Safety first.

But look at Yoda... I saw one go for $199.99 free ship, no tax yesterday on ebay. Prices were hovering at $240 for the longest time, now dropping. Probably for the next two months at least.
