Sideshow 1/6 Imperial Probe Droid

[Darth Madden]

Anyone have a link or info to the clear rods for this? My buddy just surprised me with a probot for xmas!!

You can find them on ebay. 3/8” Diameter 12” Long. I got 5 for $10 a few months ago.

Thank you sir!

I like the stock rod, but for the sake of being thorough I just ordered some acrylic to see how it'll actually look.

I would jump on these while they are available, guys. Aside from using a $20.00 coupon to bring the price down a bit, I don't think that there is much hope of seeing these discounted further. It's an excellent piece, unlikely to be redone at this level of quality for a long, long time. You won't regret it!

Im keeping watch on a local dealers website. They currently have 5 in stock and its been that way for awhile. Hoping they might lower the price if they dont sell like theyve done on a few other pieces, fives and echo are availible for discount if you are a member at a certain level (bought alot) with that website.

Why is SS still a pre-order status?

It looks MUCH better with a clear rod.

Yep, I respect why SSC went with metal but prefer the acrylic hands down.

I was playing with mine last night. It's perfect in every aspect. The probe droid of course...

I'm glad you clarified that.

 

[Aliaz]

Ah hell, I went and ordered it.

I know I'll be getting money from my grandparents and uncle as usual as a christmas gift, might aswell add some money and get this might even get it before christmas if I'm lucky.

Congrats, Aliaz! Let us know your thoughts, once in hand!

Now Pixelpiper stands alone! Just buy it and write it off as a business expense, Pix!

You know that the only savings from a business expense is a reduction in tax on the amount of the item "written off" right? And of course it would be a business expense because I'd be taking it apart and using it to prototype a new battery replacement kit as well as product photography - same as the Batman Armory.

Will do! Just checked their website and is seems that any order placed before the 22nd should arrive before christmas.

Had a bunch of comics on order (fables, hellboy) since I'm working on replacing the trade paper backs on my shelf with hardcover ones but went with this instead and canceled that order. Easier to get later and spread out those purchases.

Now to explain this to my girlfriend... Wont have any room to display it until we move and get a house in a year or so anyway so maybe that will delay the disscution

So what you're saying is...your destiny lies with this Probe Droid...

We'll see how the next couple of weeks play out… I have a lot of expenses to cover this month.

Dollar dropping isn't helping us Canucks either

Yes, I know that! That could be up to ~$75.00, which is a doggone good deal (anything less than that is also awesome *coughs*). Just break down and buy it, dammit!

Got this fellow today very happy with it, can't wait to get a new cabinet so he can have his own shelf

 

[Aliaz]

As long as the postal service doesnt screw up this will arrive tomorrow.

Read that assembly is required, anything to watch out for while putting this together?

Unfortunately I will only be unpacking it to bask in its glory and then putting it back in the Box and dream about the future house that will enable me to display it.

Most pieces just fit right in nicely, one piece I had to scrape some off to fit in, just don't go in all thumbs and you'll be right

I'm in the same boat until I get my home office set-up properly. I took out the two body pieces to check out the paint and details, but didn't bother snapping the legs in since they are a bit delicate and I didn't want to assemble and then disassemble immediately. As far as I know, all the legs can be popped back out, but I wouldn't risk breaking it, personally.
