Sideshow 1/6 C-3PO

[BlackWidow89]

I just pre-ordered C-3PO with the SPOOKY15 code (really cool that we got TWO different codes for this month!) and did a payment plan for him.

Really? What was the other code?

SPOOKY15 and SP00KY15 (with zeroes).

SPOOKY15 and SP00KY15 (with zeroes).

Thanks! Someone else just told me too. That's great. Hope it holds.

Got Ben last week with spooky15.... have to reorder spacetrooper with sp00ky15.

I tried ordering the spacetrooper a few das ago with sp00ky15 and it didn't work for me.

Why? What did it say?

You can only order one, you know that? So if you had one already preordered, you can't order another. You have to cancel first then reorder.

Or maybe you used the code already? Did you try 'oo' instead of '00'?

I haven't preordered or used the code. Ill try again.

Ok it worked this time. Thanks Wor-Gar. Next months code will be for C3PO

I just stared collection 1/6 scale. Does SS usually do some special promos for Black Friday?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yes, they do. But this coming week is Spooktacular so keep your eyes open for all kinds of "special" things happening with Sideshow.

 

[highlander1]

Well i had 2 cancel me EXCLUSIVE i would never use broken arm anyway. I need to pay off OBI WAN 1st then reorder 3po he's usually last anyway.

 

[Mike86]

Still on the fence about keeping my order for this or going with the Tamashii figure instead. Found a decent deal on the Tamashii but I sort of want to see how this comes out.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Hard call if you found a good deal.

The paint will make or break this figure.

Bird in the hand sort of dilemma.

 

[Mike86]

Yeah. The price of the Tamashii I'm thinking of getting is higher than the Sideshow figure but pretty reasonable by the standards for that figure ($275). I think overall I'd be happier with the Tamashii but I want to see how this turns out.

 

[TonTon]

That's a great price for the Tama. If that's the price shipped I'd jump on it if you can swing it. Even with the Hot Toys arrivals recently that still might be the most impressive figure to me, at least in terms of looking like an actual shrunken down droid.

I still have this on PO for some reason though. Still curious if it will somehow pair up better with R2, but deep down I just know I'll cancel or check it out and sell it off.

Though it's true the weathering + articulation will literally break the figure too.

 

[Pixelpiper]

:Though it's true the weathering + articulation will literally break the figure too.

I can see how articulation can "literally" break the figure (with man-handling) but the weathering? Maybe if it's applied by hammer.

 

[DeadLeaves]

Or applied oil bath style, gluing those elbow pistons together.

Solution: use real oil - just make sure it's inorganic.

So do we know yet if the lights will be touch-activated like they are on R2 (I rewatched the little video from earlier, but it doesn't show)? Because if there's anything that can be radically improved from the Tamashii 3PO, it's how to turn on the damn lights. Lol

 

[Wor-Gar]

Instructions say its a "touch-sensitive crotch"... you just tap the crotch and the eyes light up!
