Army builders though. They concern me.

Had a typo at the end of my last message, now corrected. Mr. Canada Clone may inspire a new legion of by-the-case purchasers.

These are awfully tempting, but I'm still hoping/holding out for the Han and Luke Stormies.

That will happen, just a matter of when. Requires very little work on hot toys part and is guaranteed to make them money. Hopefully I will pass though, as I'm starting to wonder how many versions of Luke and Han I'll buy before I tap out. Maybe they will be announced at the same time as Leia, who would fill a glaring hole in my collection. Would be cool to get some sort of dianoga prop with a Luke/Han 2 pack.

Don't worry too much, most sane people want 2 to 4 Stormtroopers - which is only two sets. Most pictures in this thread are of a pair, usually a tall and a short flanking Vader. The two pack was a very smart, collector friendly idea from Hot Toys.

Another good picture of the perfect-height clones...

I want more troops. Might get one more regular Stormie and have 3. Since so many other troopers are coming. And to fit many on a shelf I'm using the basic oval stands. Looks pretty good

I was contemplating another, but with the Spacetrooper and Sandtrooper coming, I'll stick to 2.

Yeah that's probably the wise way to go. Ugh..they make it so hard. Hopefully these stick around for a while. Ready for the Sandtroopers to go up for PO

I have a third coming to go with my 2 pack. I had ordered the single on flex before the Spaceteooper and Sandtrooper were announced. I'm still ok getting him. Used a coupon and of course you can never have too many!

If they're still around when Vader comes out I may grab a third to go with him.

Just found out my local retailer for SS and Hot toys had his stormtrooper orders cancelled by Sideshow or Hot toys. His order for Han and Chewy may
also be in limbo.

Same here. And it will arrive faster than the pair.

Anyone selling?

Mother ****er! My preordered Gamora shipped a week ago, and I also decided to get that Robocop with 20% off, separate shipping. Now customs apply with anything over $300, and I have to pay 15% + biosecurity fee and handling. Guess what, they arrived on the same flight and so I was stung with $150!!!

Back to square one with saving for these dudes... I might give up and go to 1/12. It's getting ridiculous.

I know your pain Koon. I got $50 off the Geonosis battle droids but it shipped with the Droid and Dooku hologram, so got slapped with $90 in fees from NZ customs. Seems Sideshow ship declaring the full value of the item and not what you actually paid them.

 

[shocktrooper_au]

Wow where do you guys live, that's ridiculous and wtf is a bio security tax? Other then a Rort ?

 

[Dinosoar Daz]

I live in New Zealand. All products being brought into New Zealand which could potentially contain unwanted pests or organisms are subject to the biosecurity fee. This is on On top of customs fees and GST

I got slammed for the two battle droid sets but my Tauntaun escaped notice. I can't figure it out

That is stupid, and in EU we have our own share of stupid taxes, VAT and customs. Pests or organisms on a plastic toy? Hilarious and tragic at the same time
