Sideshow 1/6 R2-D2

[King Darkness]

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

Not even a single!?!?! Just one fauk!?!? Come on E, have a heart.

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

Anything less than $300 isn't worth it!

It was established in the first film that they weren't the only ones around.

Party pooper.

$100-$125 a piece, then maybe. I don't think they would perform like clones.

Might work if they stayed away from prequel droids. There are only so many OT droids. Once you get into the prequels and cartoons, it gets ridiculous.

Maybe in 2010

I wonder which takes more work to manufacture: an astromech, or a clone.

 

[EVILFACE]

I would think clone.

 

[King Darkness]

I'd think that also.

 

[King Darkness]

If these guys can go for $129 for a set, no reason a single bare bones astromech can't for for $125.

 

[EVILFACE]

I'd think that also.

 

[devilof76]

I forgot about them. R2 should be $150 tops.

As for the other ones, I'll t'e R5-D4, but I'd rather spend my money on a Power Droid, more bounty hunters, Ree Yees, Squidhead, or Walrus Man than a bunch of R2 clones.

I air on the higher side of price possibility because of the engineering involved.

Looking forward to posing this with the "clean" Hot Toys Bespin Luke.

My too! That means I need two! One with Luke and one with Threepio.

Yeah, that's been my plan for ages now; whether it was the potential Tamashii one - or whatever.

I really cannot wait for more specs on R2.

 

[Deak Starkiller]

I hope he can fit on the side of Yoda's hut.

 

[furystorm]

On his tippy toes?

Pretty much.

I have a Hasbro multipack of them but I ain't going 1:6 for B5-Z8.

Although I'm obviously a big droid fan - after acquiring R2 & 3PO, I'd stop at R5-D4 & the gold / silver Sandcrawler RA-7 if SSC made them nicely enough.

The other variations are nice to think about, but in all practicality I'm keeping my focus pretty tight.

The Battle droids have some complex engineering as well. They can even fold down and collapse into their "storage mode"

The only thing that really makes r2 more complicated is his electronics. 150$ is believeable, and fair.

And there ARE people who will buy multiples, as well as other colored droids. Some of us LOVE astromechs.

Bring it on at $150!
