Just ordered Bubo. Did I make the right decision?

...But what are Womp Rats doing in Jabba's palace? Aren't they suppose to be jumping around in the Jundland wastes? ...

They can hang out "outside" with Woort...

 

[The ill Jedi]

Got mine! Too freakin' cool to pass up, this will definitely make Jabba's set look even better.

 

[Darth Rage]

Budo looks good, and the (too small) Womp Rats are ... kinda cute; especially the scratching one!

I thought Luke had bullseyed them all back home in his T-16.

From the product description:

Vermin of all kinds infest Tatooine's dusty mesas and arroyos. Crowded into pockets of shade beneath bluffs or leaning boulders, they seek shelter from the planet's searing twin suns. Sand mites and bantha ticks, sand-swimming worms of all kinds and crusty-backed kreetles, most are harmless enough, or, at worst, present little more than an inconvenience to Tatooine's colonists. Yet, among the scuttling gutter-grubs and scavengers there are some more dangerous creatures that warrant closer scrutiny and greater caution.

Rock warts are usually solitary creatures, but Tatooine's most famous vermin are the highly social womp rats, which can roam in loose packs of several dozen individuals. The largest are over two meters from nose to tail, and, while cowardly when alone, can be intimidating in large numbers. Opportunistic scavengers, a hungry womp rat pack might trouble a weakened traveler and overwhelm them en mass, though usually they are viewed more as an annoyance than a real threat. In some farming communities, sport is made of bulls-eyeing the giant rodents from low-flying airspeeders.

They aren't meant to be Jabba's Palace critters, just Tatooine natives.

 

[The Josh]

Got mine easy as pie. They're all cool looking in an odd sort of way.

 

[dr2red]

Got mine too!
I do believe I made the right decision.

 

[KitFisto]

I do believe I made the right decision.

You better ask everyone else to make sure!

 

[dr2red]

You better ask everyone else to make sure!

Well I do believe I did, and I am sure they will let me know if I didn't

 

[tomandshell]

Wonder how long until Bubo sells out?

 

[Darth Loki]

It'll probably be a while. I got him but don't know if I'll keep him or not. I don't think I'll miss him much if I let him go.

That's an interesting quote.
Apparently Sideshow knows these can be much larger then how they depicted them here in the Creature pack.

I don't collect these, but $40 seems like a lot to me; especially considering at one time that was the price of a 12" figure.

The price doesn't seem to be deterring a lot of you though.

*looks for Ewok poo*

There's a Tatooine map with all the places of interest here:

Well, since the Budo pack is more expensive than the Salacious pack, I was wondering about SSC's reasons for doing so...

https://sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showpost.php?p=318774&postcount=230

Some how you get the impression that SSC likes to up the price once in a while when a new SW character (or creature pack) is going on sale. I wonder how far they are going to push it this year...

LOW QUANTITY ALERT!!!

Only 90 left.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Already low quantity. Wow! These went fast.

80 left.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

Sideshow hit on a goldmine with this Jabba's Palace diorama. They can just keep cooking up stuff, even insignificant stuff like rock warts and womp rats, and people will feel compelled to buy it so they'll have the complete setup. Very smart idea.

 

[Darth Madden]

I got mine, but add me to the group that isn't sure if I will keep him... $40 does seem like a lot.

 

[Wor-Gar]

40 left.

Get your BUBO on!

 

[carbo-fation]

I bought him when he went up for order. The price hike definetely seems uncalled for, especially for these little things.
