Sideshow 1/6th Tusken Raider

[Mad Old Lu]

I normally pass on "background" characters (just to keep my collection trim and focused), but I couldn't pass on this guy. That $15 coupon made it an easy choice.

 

[galactiboy]

This one is actually a freebie for me... used RP and just had to cover $13 in shipping

 

[Wor-Gar]

No doubt... but with the 1/6 market long cooled people just aren't as willing to jump in on stuff. If it weren't for the exclusive I'd probably waited a bit for a deal... but still no way I'd completely pass on this guy.

For Ex's I don't want, I've been doing that for the last few years. Also to avoid paying the CA tax (although that's on a short path to change). I've pretty much been able to get everything I wanted on ebay at some point. Even an EX Hammerhead for substantially less then SS asking. But I wouldn't risk the Ex's too often.

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, I'm fine paying Sideshow direct (since I don't live in CA) and just looking at the RP as an offset.

 

[Batty]

I'm sure at the end of the day this is still gonna be seen as an overpriced background character for many. But, I'm stoked about getting him

For a brief moment I thought about canceling... but then I came to my senses.

Edition size for Exclusive is: 1250 pieces

And was it 1,500 reg Tuskens? Not really in greater number.

There might be more, but they are riding single file to hide their numbers...
in reality... not even Sideshow knows how many they've got coming...

 

[The Pawn]

You are correct. Too bad. Seems like in the glory days of SW with SS (2006-2008) this would have sold out quickly.

I agree, it seems the Star Wars 1/6 market has cooled off substantially lately as Sideshow still has exclusives figures for sale that would normally sell out in less than an hour.

I'm kind of glad. You want there to be some exclusivity about these things. I think around the 1000 mark keeps it attractive due to the amount of SW fans.

If he's well done then it'll probably sell out easy.

 

[Glennfett]

mine is at item shipping soon.

 

[OSCORP]

Hope this turns out decent i really want to buy it. After the let down i had with boba i hope this makes up for it.

 

[Lejuan]

I just hope it can hold a pose. Me no likee stands.

 

[OSCORP]

Yeah, another worry of mine with SS figs.

 

[devilof76]

I have my jedi figures on stands, but that's it. All three cantina aliens, all my Joes and Cobras, SS Indy, Boussh, Ventress, Fett, 88...no stands.

 

[Glennfett]

i just got in the Sideshow stands from their site.Used a GC.Time to replace those old hugger rings!!

 

[Centurion]

mine is at item shipping soon.

Nice!
We're getting close to release.

 

[Glennfett]

by the time i get them here in OZ it will be mon or tues of next week

 

[Wor-Gar]

Shipping out tonight.

But BLAST! -- I had to change my card on file due to fraud charges about 3 months ago and I must have put the card # in wrong because I got declined this morning due to "card error" and now I have to wait a full week until I get another crack at a charge! This is Sideshow's new system. Gives you 5 days to sort your finances whether you need 5 days or not. So now I'm not getting the Tusken until a week from Tuesday at best. FACK!

I would have this bastard in three days!

 

[skooternb]

Can't wait to see peoples first impressions.

 

[Rorywan]

Really looking forward to this. I think I wil need two .
