Sideshow 1/6 R2-D2

[TheFiend]

Not saying I'd definitely buy, but I could be persuaded even if it was just to compare the two in-hand and sell off the loser.

Yeah, it would be a tough call for me. With rising costs and my purchases becoming much more selective Im not sure. Like if there were 3 or 4 great figures coming out around that time would I still pony up $220-250 or whatever for a new Threepio when I already have an amazing one. I'm curious to see what they come up with. To be honest ,a nice plastic Threepio has the the potential to be more fun[/l] than the Tama. I love the Tama. The look, heft, feel and overall engineering makes it a true marvel. But those are the very reasons I barely touch the damn thing. With a plastic Threepio I may be more inclined to pose , move , "play" with more.

Half the size, twice the tooling



Same size, twice the tooling











150 sounds unrealistic for R2



150 bucks sounds sexy enough for a threesome. But I'd be happy for an unboxing night with just me and a single polished dome.

lots of new tooling. Tons of Reuse potential . 150$ is completely possible.

After R2 I thought the next popular astromech droids would probably be R5-D4. Love to see that fella turning up soon.

He's certainly my runner up to Artoo. I'm planning my next tattoo, and it's R5. Hoping to have him late June.

Yeah, but that was just highball guessing. I'm sure if we look back at the thread people were hoping Vader would be no more $200!

Its true, people post ridiculously low and crazy high prices. Not sure I get the logic of either. Why would anyone want to post how high they'd actually pay? And who's fooled by the insanely low "guesses"?

I think everyone here knows damn-well within $30 where the price is going to be.

Price Is Right rules. The closest price without going over.

Looks pretty awesome. The only question I have is about that dome. Doesn't look as good as the Medi version, looks like the action alarm clock paint job.

Yep. My guess is buried back there. $209.99 - $219.99. If its lower I will be very, very happy.

 

[Rambler]

$1 Bob!

 

[Pixelpiper]

If its lower I will be very, very happy.

But you'll have lost the prize.

 

[jra81984]

I am gonna guess $175

 

[Lejuan]

You mean, like, a clean version?

Whatever state it was in beforehand I try to never end my night without a polished dome.

I'm going with $224.99.

$139. We should stand together and boycott it if it's any higher. Send a message to Sideshow! Who's with me?!? Anyone?


Hello?

 

[Hologram AI]

Not sure what's worse, the fact that so many people are okay with it being $200+ or the fact that it will probably be that high. It's half the size of a regular figure, this should be $150 at most. Darth Vader was $250. This shouldn't be $50 less than that.

 

[devilof76]

It's going to be $300, and I'm okay with that.

This place gets cheaper by the minute.

 

[furystorm]

I'm guessing $12,599.00

Oh wait, that's what I'm planning on my life size.

This little guy should be about $179.99, with those electronics and accessories. I'm mostly okay with it because I don't make a habit of buying Sideshow products any more, and SS was kind enough to give so many RP's away at the end of 2013...

 

[Centrocal]

Don't care about the price, only concern is the scale.

How'd he end up so expensive? I thought he was going to be half that.

 

[furystorm]

It's a guesstimate, since I had to sell off all my parts after becoming unemployed last year. But after DroidCon and talking to the fellas, figuring out what I'd like to put into mine, I think it's fairly accurate. Gotta figure if the naked frame alone is about $2200...

And that's what I'm after before the end of the year.

Just... the... frame
