Sideshow 1/6 R2-D2

[automaton]

I'm going with $224.99.

225.01

i learned that's the way to guess from Price is Right.

 

[Wor-Gar]

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


Hello?

��

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.

I know, but truth is Sideshow set the price a long time ago when they figured out what it would cost to make and what they could get for it.

Oh Wor-Gar, don't you know Sideshow lurks here and bases ALL their prices on a roughly 20 post survey of what people are willing to pay. Its makes perfect business sense to do so.

Jeez, how could you not know that

 

[Deak Starkiller]

My gut says $200 but I'm hoping for $150.

 

[King Darkness]

My guy says $200 but I'm hoping for $300.

Many of the folks here seems to be keen on getting more than one piece.

Perhaps SSC could offer an option of selling R2 in a pair with a discount.

I always think they look better as a pair.

 

[CaptnRex]

I hope not. I think Sideshow has the talent in-house and with their regular freelancers to make a much better 3PO.

Ha ha....:

The Tamashii is awesome. Sure there are tiny issues but 'make a much better 3PO', no.

I will still buy a SSC Threepio as I have a focus on that character.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

SSC would no doubt be capable of making a nice enough version of their own - & I'd potentially get one too.

But yeah - PP talking loco again.

 

[Rudimus]

All the expected replacement parts for any imperfection that you see are already calculated in the costs. $239.99 FINAL ANSWER?

[DCFett]

SS has typically priced items at a cost to recoup development in a very short order. Should they not really be planning to reuse the R2 parts, expect this figure to pull down some change as its all but one of a kind as far as tools go. Hopefully they do R5 some day, but I'm not holding my breath.

 

[devilof76]

I'm pretty sure that variant astromechs would not sell like clones. R5 is pretty much the only other one that would sell in numbers comparable to R2.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Two of my faves (apart from R5-D4) are R5-A2 & R2-A5:

 

[devilof76]

For sure.

I love R5's. And the R2's with the clear domes (R3's?).

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Actually yeah - thanks for reminding me!

R3-M3 is another one I really like; the one that rolls around the corner when old Ben is creeping through the DS:

I'd love to make a display of this - a new HT Ben, & that little Astromech.

 

[King Darkness]

For sure.

R3-T6

 

[devilof76]

Absolutely.

 

[sithlord13]

Priced right I think there's a real market for Astro repaints

 

[EVILFACE]

Not a single fauk given about those multicolored imitation R2's.

*** waits for Blackhole C3P0 and R2D2 ***
