1/6 NEXT Hot Toys STAR WARS Figure...?

[greygoose]

I will never understand paying off figures months and months in advance (unless you have a payment plan, but even then....).

In the grand scheme of things paying for these figures before or after release is insane. The price of collecting is ridiculous now.

My Star Wars list is pathetic compared to everyone else's, haha:
Lando Calrissian ESB
Luke Skywalker Snowspeeder ESB
Stormtrooper Commander Mando

Am considering the Tusken Raider, and will definitely get ROTJ Scout Trooper and Speeder Bike

Gonna need to get Bo to complete that CW display my dude!

Oh yeah, Bo is going into the collection, just wasn't too excited to pre-order her.

What is there not to understand? If that person has the funds, like I did, might as well get it over it, they're getting your money anyway. Now I have my figures paid off for the year and early next year, unless the rumors of Skywalker/Jango are coming early are true, all I have to worry about is shipping.

I see nothing wrong with paying them off a bit early if you have the funds available.

 

[Chris]

Honestly I'd love to have them all paid off and nothing to think about, saves any nasty surprises if they suddenly hit at the same time as other big bills. Interest rates are so low it's not like the money would be earning me anything in the bank.

Coruscant guard x2
Ig11 still hasn’t shipped

What is the production rate for Hot Toys within a year?

 

[Tee-Kay]

Iirc, Howard confirmed a few years ago they were producing about 60 figures a year. So, a bit more than a figure per week.

 

[RandomHero]

No way they’re producing 60 right now. Which is why that 2022 bottleneck is going to get really interesting.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yeah, there's just so much due next year that 2022 has to be a mess.

Plus, we're still going to have Covid issues popping up at times throughout 2022, whether actual or an excuse for shippers.

Lots of Gamora-style wait periods coming.

I don’t see many quite that long since there had to of been issues with her before Covid was an issue, granted I am impressed with how they’ve been releasing at least one figure a week recently.

If a figure doesn’t have a headsculpt it can be expected within 8-12 months, if it does it can be expected in 12-24 months

 

[Wor-Gar]

I'm not certain that's a rule but perhaps its true.

 

[darth dennis]

If a figure doesn’t have a headsculpt it can be expected within 8-12 months, if it does it can be expected in 12-24 months

I haven't seen anything in a long while that got released within 12 months of pre-order, excluding con exclusives... I think it's 18-24 months as the new norm now, unfortunately.

There’s been a couple 14 month ones last year like EG Black Widow, Hawkeye, IW Starlord etc, but if it’s within 12 months it doesn’t have a headsculpt, that’s why we saw stuff like the 501st so early

Granted, Star Wars stuff seems not to suffer as much from giant delays like Marvel stuff

 

[TheDucky]

Fair enough mate that's your prerogative. I have enough disposable income to just pay it off and not worry about it which suits me fine.

With the recent delays (and finding new sites) I've taken to putting deposits down, since the announce to release window is just so much bigger now.

Oh yeah, Bo is going into the collection, just wasn't too excited to pre-order her.

I have around 40 on order. I have the money too. Frankly, I’d have to be a dumbass to hand out 10k 12-18 months in advance when I can earn something off it.

Imagine paying off your car one year before you drive it. Imagine paying off a fridge one year before you own. Absolutely stupid.
