Medicom VCD Vader & Stormtrooper shipping soon!

[The Josh]

(Did we ever hear how many of these that Sideshow had for sale?)

Nah I never heard. I don't think the ES of the 501st figure was announced either.

My Vader is showing shipping soon. I didnt order my Stormie until 5/11 it still says order placed.

I just received a TEMP charge on my card.... Looks like Vader may soon be on the way.

I ordered mine on 5/19, so I am not exactly at the front of the line...

Mine just says "order placed" right now.

 

[Batty]

I ordered both on 2/15. They're "Shipping Soon".

Thanks Tom!

I just received my 501st Clone Trooper about 20 minutes ago. Very cool! Now I'm even more excited about getting Vader and the Stormtrooper.

:chew :chew :chew

I scoffed when these were first revealed (mostly because I thought those question marks at Toy Fair were going to be more 12" or PF figures), but then the more I looked at them the cuter I thought they were. After buying the Luke & Yoda PF, I used the rest of my Sideshow gift certificate towards a Vader and two Stormtroopers, although I still wasn't quite sure about the line. Then Star Wars Shop put up the Boba Fett for $50 and I preordered the SDCC 501st, and all of a sudden I was almost a completist! I can say that the 501st VCD is very charming and is worth the money, in my opinion. I went ahead and ordered the TIE pilot as well, and look forward to other releases in this line, although I wouldn't ever pay more than what Sideshow is selling them for--the $180 that they go for on eBay is too much for me. If they stay at 1/3 of that price I can afford them. I understand that they are certainly not for everybody, but I like them. They are a unique addition to my collection of Star Wars stuff.

Tom,

I also like these characters. I have Boba, Vader & a Stormtrooper ordered and picked up the 501st at Comic Con. Where did you order the TIE pilot?

I agree with you there. I like these and think they'll make a nice addition to my collection. And now that Vader and the Stormtroopers are sold out, I don't think you'll be able to find them at such a good price again.

Pretty much my thoughts on them as well. Tom just something kind of cool to have in the collection.

I ordered the TIE Pilot at the Sideshow booth at SDCC. You can also get him HERE and HERE and HERE.

 

[Zoomaround]

Thanks, Tom. I was hoping to find a lower price than $59.99. I'm not "sold" on the TIE pilot as of yet but I may just order it to have the complete set.

Not my bag, but I'm actually relieved that SS has something SW that I have no interest in.

 

[The Josh]

For some reason I didn't see the Tie Pilot on the form at SDCC but no biggie I ordered it when I got back home.

 

[tomandshell]

I had really hoped to get a shipping notice this week...

 

[The Josh]

I got a shipping notice tonight for my Vader I do believe.

 

[PosterBoyKelly]

Vader on the way! I ordered them both the same night, so I hope I get a Stromtrooper notice soon. The 17th is ssoooooo far away!

 

[Batty]

I got notice for both this morning! :chew

PosterBoy, I hope they ship yours together.

 

[PosterBoyKelly]

I hope so too, but I only got a Vader email. I mean it's not a big stink, because I'm sure the Stormtrooper will be right behind it, but it's just nice to get 2 in 1 day.
