1/6 Luke Skywalker: Red Five X-Wing Pilot Sixth Scale Figure

[koon]

True, you could wait for Snowspeeder Luke. Of course he'll still look like a freak and the NRD alone will be $724.

At least he'll come with a light up lightsaber.

 

[Spudtrooper]

Oooooooo he's purdy.

 

[K1NG J0RDAN]

Glad I ordered him. Exactly how I'm gonna display him

Yeah that's just looks absolutely killer.

Dammit, it does look great.

From those shots it does look really nice! I am having a harder time resisting it, but I must hold out with so much other stuff coming down the line!

 

[TaliBane]

I really hope this one doesn't have the big glassy-eyes issue. The Hoth figs had a ton of other goodies (and heads) to make the sets more than worth it. This is one head and a somewhat basic outfit - for $40 more. People won't be pleased.

SWCA pic. This one looks great. Life is full of tough choices.

 

[Puay]

Figure does look fantastic in this image. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Rorywan]

No way the stitching and outfit is gonna be sharp like that. Looks great there.

That's what I figured but now I wonder if they would try to slap me with a cancelation fee if I decided to cancel the order?

I'd call them to cancel and discuss it with them, the policy change was post your order, it would be a **** move to backdate you with a fine. I'm sure they'll sort it out with you.

 

[Asta]

Since my order was already in before this and I never paid an NRD, canceling wouldn't affect me. Then again since this is new rules, I'm not sure what the deal is.

I ordered HT Obi-Wan before there was a NRD (pretty pointless exercise considering there was no exclusive).

I cancelled him after the NRD was added to the page, and, naturally, there were no charges to pay because nothing was paid up front in the first place.

I thought this bore repeating in the appropriate thread:

Yeah, seeing X-Wing Luke in person was pretty sick, but knowing it will probably be a big step down in production is a bummer. That figure is ****ing amazing! At least the separate eye system won't be involved. According to Mat Bischoff, the separate eye system will not be used on Luke.

 

[davejames]

Wow, very good news.

 

[Asta]

I thought this bore repeating in the appropriate thread:

Was there a reason given?

Are Sideshow possibly consigning the process to history?

Dunno if there was a reason. Maybe King can come in and respond.

Unfortunately, Sideshow does not seem to be giving up on the system:

He said Sideshow hasn't abandoned the separate eye thing, but are looking for a different factory who can do better with production. So it could be back in later figures

 

[King Darkness]

Can't say much more than that. Luke will be a solid sculpt and future release may or may not have the separate eye system if they can get better results in production. That's long and short of it.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Thanks, King!

Thanks for the info.



At least Sideshow have acknowledged the issue and are addressing it.

Really good news for X-Wing Luke, though.
