Sideshow 1/6 R5-D4

[Asta]

Yeah, I'm picking this guy up (assuming his thumbs are positioned correctly)...

Early indications are good...

But I think the ears are off.

Yeah, I'm picking this guy up (assuming his thumbs are positioned correctly) as a sort of bet that the Jawas will be good. But for those I'll wait until some in-hand pics show up before laying down the $22 NRD.

I really hope the Jawas turn out good.

Early indications are good...

Thanks for the pics, Kuat. R5 just needs to be able to hold a lightsaber and I'm good. He is a Jedi after all.

 

[Asta]

As was his namesake, Skippy the Jedi Kangaroo...

Wonder if he could hold one with this arm?

All my Artoo arms are packed away at the moment.

 

[davejames]

Here's hoping they did a better weathering job on this than they did on 3PO...

 

[Glennfett]

New normal.

I used to get charged and that night it shipped. Last 6 shipments from Sideshow, until 3PO. Until the dark times.

This has been the same with me.By tomorrow it will be 4 days since the Jakku Stormtrooper charged.
With dubious thumbs on 3PO,HT pricing and now an eternity from charge to ship, SSC really don't want me as a customer no more.They are making it easier for me to walk away.lol.

But R5 is cheap.

I haven't gotten a notification for R5, could be because I waited till I could use a $20 coupon to buy him.

 

[Darth_IMPoor]

Not getting this. Like it. But I have to minimize. I have to minimize. I have to minimize.

Technically you will be: 12" to 6". It is now ok to purchase.

Only overseas folks got a notice. Hopefully that means we will see it before it charges in the states.

They might all arrive at the same time...because there's still no shipping notification.

In fact, the Order Summary page still says:

This item is expected to ship: Feb 2016 - Mar 2016

 

[Matt S]

Pretty excited for this guy....

They're flex shipping it. Charge now, ship later.

It's a cool droid but if I order it, I'll need to get the Jawas.

If I get the Jawas, I'll need to find a Tusken Raider.

If I get the Tusken Raider, I'll need another Detolf...

The cycle never ends. (unlike the funds and display space...)

 

[devilof76]

You could stop at jawas.

 

[furystorm]

I'm stopping at R5...

 

[TonTon]

Just got the 14-day notice. Hopefully I get to see Kuat's first.

 

[JonWes]

If we weren't in the middle of a Star Wars avalanche I'd get this guy. I'm mostly keeping with essentials, but this is one of the few Kenner figures I had as a kid and I've always had a lot of love for the droid because of that. If they still have plenty of him and discount him down the line, though, I'm in.

 

[Shanester]

Just got the 14-day notice. Hopefully I get to see Kuat's first.

I got mine, too. I love the astromechs.

Looks like I need to order R5 because I have the Tusken, Jawas on order, and could use another Detolf.
