Anyone knows where I can any places still have this one in stock (preferably not Ebay) would be much appreciated.

I’ll PM you. There’s a few stores, though they’re international.

They’re pretty much all gone from US stores at this point.

Okay for anyone that still needs these, Toys Buying Agent has both the Standard and Deluxe. Prices are higher but not as high as eBay and TW. Don’t forget to use their promo codes for a small discount.

KG Hobby also has a couple of the Standard at about the same price; a tiny bit lower.

Anotoys has the Deluxe at a better price, but I’ve been informed the available shipping rate is currently very high. You may need to talk to them about that. They’re in the Philippines so keep the time difference in mind. Facebook seems to be the best way to reach them.

I typically only go with US and Australian stores so I don’t have much personal dealings with all of them. But I know many people have gone through TBA and KG, and there are folks here who’ve bought from Ano before. The usual precautions apply so use your best judgement.

Huehue

Now we know why they’re sold out. Hah! Looks great!!

 

[Ramatuelle]

^^^^freaking wow.

The 501st in Obi Wan Kenobi show.

 

[MyenShi]

I wonder how many 501st Clones the good folks here on the forum have collectively. Might be one of if not the highest number of a single figure purchased in board history.

I have a rough idea but I’m tempted to make an officially unofficial list for fun to see what the Collector Freaks Battlalion looks like.

Its GOT to be a couple hundred, at least.

Those live action clones have the wrong blue on their armor, dammit.

Yeah I stopped by earlier to check if it was posted yet and see if I should, all the while trying to ignore the color.

It’s not the worst but it’s definitely too teal.

It’s also interesting it doesn’t have the sculpted hash marks on the chest so it’s more like the animated armor.

But Order 66 get so little screen time in ROTS that I will take anything that adds more depth to it.

And yeah, a few hundred at least. It’s well past a hundred with just a handful people and then a lot of people bought 2-4.

 

[DarkChocobi]

I have 8, but I've seen some people here build at least nearly 20 501st clones.

Weird that they changed the colour. When watching the show my first thought wasn’t “live action clones, cool!” but instead “wrong”.

You did say about a month ago you might get 8 but that’d be it. I figured that’s what you were doing. Glad you met your goal. Best to have no regrets.

hokietwo has 22. I know some other people here with 8-10+ that haven’t said anything publicly yet so I won’t spoil it for them.

I could go back and do a tally but some people probably bought more during the sale. I want to say 2-4 was probably the Collector Freaks average.

 

[sithocan]

1 for me. Now excile me

Exile? You should get an award for not buying multiples of the same figure like the rest of us.

Hot Toys looked at these and are happy they can release more since the blue is a little different.

 

[Centrocal]

The 501st in these pictures are reminding me of the Lego 501st. I think thats where they got the color from.

And they don’t even have to add the hash marks on the chest armor like the ROTS version since the Kenobi suits neglected to include them.

“Hot Toys is proud to present our slightly repainted 501st Clone Trooper TV Promo Edition Collectible Sixth Scale Figure from the acclaimed Obi-Wan Kenobi show. Fans will love paying $30 more for just one helmet, two blasters, and that’s it! But you’ll get it in screen accurate teal blue!”

They have to do BOBF version first, then they can triple dip with Kenobi version. Then release the Kenobi version without the blue for Andor.
