Luke Is Shipping!!!

[Wor-Gar]

I must say he looks at least 10X better in person than ANY pic I've seen of him.

Yep. That's what we've all been trying to explain to everyone who has been analyzing pictures that are much larger than the actual sculpt in hand. It really is a fantastic piece.

I'd be interested to know your thoughts when you do open him up with your Pop.

My Luke is still sitting in Bakersfield for some reason. He is still not out for delivery, so it looks like it will be slipping away into next week...

AP Bulletin just in: March 24, 2006- The Federal Express distribution center in Bakersfield, CA has burned to the ground, along with all packages and letters in the sorting department. Witnesses stated that a strange scent of burning plastic and cloth permeated the air during the inferno.

 

[LOTRFan]

Not so much as a notice yet ....

Maybe if I drive the hour and a half and offer to help them move ...

 

[gonzo]

Does anyone know how the ordering order is handled? I know I got my order in before my neighbor, but he has already received his shipping notice while I have not. Is it completley random?

 

[Wor-Gar]

It does seem random, but there must be some method.

My guess is SS generates FedEx shipping labels in order either by the person's last name or perhaps in order of cities to ship to. There must be some order.

All I know for certain now is that all the EXCLUSIVES are indeed shipping first.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

I just spoke with SS CS and they said the Warehouse is CLOSED till the middle of next week and will not be shipping any more Lukes until it re-opens.

In fact, SS won't be shipping anything until they re-open Wed/Thurs.

This is not a joke. I was advised by Erin (who I adore btw)

In my case b/c I requested a multiple item shipment and one of those hasn't come in yet, my stuff won't ship till late next week at the earliest.

Whoever said patience is a virtue never had to wait for their Jedi Luke...

Exactly, so if you are one of the lucky ones who received their Luke Ex, be happy, be very happy because a good many still have to wait a bit longer.

LUKE HAS ARRIVED!!!!!!!!!!!

and I have to agree with Buttmunch...Luke is SOOOOOOOOO much better in person...I havent opened him yet, but I am going have to(I was thinking about leaving my exc in the box & get a reg to open)because his left hand is lying at the bottom of the box...so I need to make sure it just fell off,or worse,it broke off.....I will report back on that....did anyone else get Luke with his hand off??

 

[The Josh]

Yeah, he is much better looking in person than the pics are showing. Really a a pretty AWESOME piece!!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Why are there so many people saving their EXCLUSIVE and buying another reg Luke to open?

Collecting madness? Yes, I suffered from this well-known disease too. 3 3/4 inch figure madness since 1990. I finally gave it up in 2000 for my 12" collection...and now I have boxes upon boxes brimming with carded figures of every variation that I no longer get excited about, nor do I ever really enjoy them...plus they take up a tremendous amount of room. To make it worse, the 3" hype is over and I can't even sell them for what I bought them for in a lot of cases.

If you're really planning to sell your EX editions, do it while the hype is hot. Otherwise, you'll be carrying around those darn boxes for an eternity.

Good news for you savers -- I'm opening every EXCLUSIVE I can get my hands on.

 

[The Josh]

Yup, I opened mine as well. I'm keeping the box mind you but I will be displaying my stuff.

 

[Darth Madden]

I cant even get my exclusive to open... BOOOOO.... darn FedEx.

 

[Customikey]

Mine should be here tomorrow! I hope FedEx delivers early. The anticipation will give me a heart attack. The pics, good and bad, have only heightened my antici...............................................pation.

 

[Wor-Gar]

A-HA! That's how Sideshow is organizing their shipping!

They're only sending out the LUKE EX to people who are planning to open it.

I called Fedex. They have no idea where my Luke is or why he wasn't delivered yesterday as originally scheduled or today as rescheduled. They can't confirm his location "at this time" and they don't know why he hasn't been scanned since arriving in Bakersfield (one hour away from me) thirty-three hours ago...

Sorry to hear that. Me thinks your box was "borrowed" off the truck by some less than honerable employee.

i agree totally and my 3" collecting stopped last year after the non-authentic looking figures continued and the constant repackaging of the same figure. also, i have too many storage boxes with the stuff in it, which i do look at from time-to-time and admire but other than that it stays stored away. i picked back up collecting early this year after i found SS. i will open everything and display but will also keep the boxes which really didn't solve the storage problem especially for the PF line but who's trying to logical when collecting.
