Sideshow 1/6 Imperial Probe Droid

[Invictus Sol]

I haven't even been invoiced yet...and then it is usually a few weeks...I am still waiting on Fives and Echo and we are almost at the 2 month point...USH may be the cheapest online place for figures, but they are the last place to ever get product...

Yeah, it's true, the wait's pretty long with them. Still, maybe we'll miss it, eventually. I was talking to Spencer about another figure and he mentioned that they're no longer dealing with Sideshow (though he said all current pre-orders would be fulfilled). I noticed the Scout and bike are not up at Toy Square, either (previous experience for last few things I've ordered from both shops is SSC's pre-order would go up and then USH/TS would have their pre-order up the next day). Also saw that Toy Square only has HT stuff up on their front page, now, too, instead of a mix of HT and SSC. Probably jumping to conclusions but it would suck if I have to order everything direct or go through the LCSes from now on.

T2 has listed Denal and the Arc Troopers, so they are current within a few days, and it sometimes can take a day for things to go up, I would think the scout will be on T2 site by Monday, but I e-mailed USH and asked about a few recent releases from SSC and the reply I got was "SSC has not offferd them to us yet"....very odd....and the delays are not just on SS products, no invoicing for Loki yet either....that is HT....I think USH is having "problems"...I don't have too many more pre-orders with them, and just to be safe I think I may move them while I can still get them...

That's good to know about T2. I'll keep an eye on them for the Scout Troopers.

And yes, I was thinking it was a bit odd that I hadn't at least been invoiced for the Probe Droid by early September, so I ordered one from Sideshow direct, once they had gone below 30 remaining. Figured I can find a spot for a second if USH comes through. Hope they are OK. Need as much competition in this hobby as possible. Thanks for the info, CC.

There is lots of competition, but most of them are not in Canada, there is only about 5 others I know about and USH is always the cheapest, but slowest...T2 is usually 2nd with Starbase and sometimes Imagination gets a good price in there and then Toys on Fire at the end of the pricing scale...and then there are the individuals, which usually are about the same price in the end as SSC...

My lcs told me sideshow restricted his orders to only 4 figures or statues . That includes hot toys as well. They also would not allow him to preorder
any loki's. They might doing this to Urban Samurai as well.

are you in the greater toronto area? if so, I can get you anything from SS for a good price (except the exclusive versions).

Well USH took orders for Loki and Probe Droid, and I keep hearing rumors that USH is not getting SSC products anymore, and I e-mailed a few times and have never got a reply...so something is happening with them...I even called them this week and the girl that answered wouldn't say anything, she just said wait for a reply to e-mails, posts on their facebook site have gone unanswered as well...

I am going to be looking for a new place, I have 21 pre-orders that I am going to have to move if USH is not going to be around much longer... but I am not in TO - a little farther north...

Is there supposed to be an on/off switch for the light inside the head? If there is, my Probe Droid doesn't have one. If there isn't, I can't find the button to turn the light on.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

The button for the lights is on the outside of the head, on the top side but not on the lid that comes off. Find the two rectangular red colored buttons on the top of the head (again, not on the lid part that comes off), then find the two round buttons just to the left of them. The on/off button is the upper round button.

Found it! Thank you, Lu. I was thrown a bit because the inner piece with the batteries actually uses a plate that has a cutout for an on/off switch and it wasn't there. I didn't think they would have made that blatant an error.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

No problem, Rich!

The prop image is stretched vertically quite a bit. Stretch it out in width to compensate and it will be easier to compare them.

 

[Darth Madden]

I deleted my stupidity post..... here are BETTER comparison pics between the original prop from the Star Wars Imagination tour and the Sideshow one... DUH



Yeah, that looks better now.
