Sculpt looks soft.

But at least they got the eye colour correct.

That I'll give them.

Anyone know when this will start shipping in the US? Not that I'm too much in a hurry after the beating my wallet took last month.

The email from Sideshow said they should be arriving in their warehouse on November 13th.

Kuat is getting his figures before everyone else.

Woo's pics were proper in hand pictures, not through glass. So I don't understand that train of thought.
And they were taken in a semi professional way. Neutral lighting with a blank background. Like the one you posted above.
You say that's the only flattering one you found... as they were all the same quality that suggests that the figure only looks good with the helmet on. Any photographer on here will tell you those pics are pretty good technically, Woo dissed his own pictures after the international outrage that erupted.

There is something to be said for prolonging the inevitable.

The way things are going, I think they just decided to charge me before everyone else!

Still makes me jealous. I don't care about getting the figures, it's the paying part that I enjoy most.

Is that for pilot Luke or the HT Luke in ST disguise? I got an email for Pilot Luke for the 13th.

It was for Stormtrooper Luke. I haven't had one for Pilot Luke.

Really, I don't know what's going on with Sideshow's emails at the moment. I had emails for the Spaceterooper, which did actually charge on the 4th, but still remains 'Shipping soon', and isn't apparently due until the 19th.

I wonder if it's split shipments and they're telling customers different dates based on that.


EDIT: Just checked and the Spacetrooper has shipped - from Hong Kong by UPS.

 

[TonTon]

Yeah Europe is getting shipments from HK now, interesting that they seem to wait until they're soon to arrive in the US before shipping. Maybe they're still pumping these dudes out?

 

[Denver5280]

I haven't received any email from SS indicating when e will arrive. I preordered in July, only emails Ive received is when they are going to process a payment.

 

[cel3027]

Ss told me yesterday on chat that this has been despatched from hk and on the way to them and should ship late november beginning december which is great my last payment is 5th dec

 

[DiFabio]

I was wondering why I couldn't find that Pilot Luke thread. How petty.

 

[The Green Goblin]

So it'll be 4 weeks since release in HK that Sideshow will receive their stock. Hope it's the same for Vader!

 

[cel3027]

Hope they both ship sametime i have luke and vader last payment 5 dec on both dont know if they ship together will ask if it saves a little

It's been brought up before, several times, by different people (so I don't know who to give credit to), that it would be a great idea to pick up the Luke in disguise and eventual Han in disguise instead of the Stormtrooper 2-pack. Thanks to you guys for that plan. That's what I'm going to do, as I was just about to pull the trigger on the Stormtrooper 2-pack.

I don't plan on displaying them in disguise, so I will keep them with the helmets and use the head sculpts to update other versions of the figures.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Thanks to you guys for that plan.

Many Bothans died to bring you that plan...
