1/6 Sideshow Star Wars Scout Trooper 1/6th Scale Figure

[JediJones]

They seem to have down a mass conversion tonight. I just got conversions on Deadpool and Echo Phase II at the same time, and I waitlisted them both at the same time last week. I wonder if "conversion" in this case meant bumping up their future production numbers. I remember when the Cobra Commander exclusive was on waitlist almost immediately and came off waitlist after it shipped, then sat and eventually got discounted. It's hard to imagine anyone is going to lose out on a waitlist item if they place it months before it's actually due to ship, because they have too much incentive to just bump up production numbers and fill the orders.

Good point, particularly since production run details are no longer released.

Any coupon codes right now that'll work for this guy?

Great video, have many of those figures on pre-order. Can't wait for 2015, it's gonna be like having your birthday every couple of months, but celebrating them from jail living on bread and water to cough up the cash needed to purchase them all. Good times

Can't wait for this figure. It will be my first.

Also have been also looking for coupon codes, the current new year code doesn't work.

I did find the figure for pre-order on alter ego Comics for cheaper than sideshow. Has anyone ordered from them before?

Alter Ego Comics
Scout $174.99
Speeder $275.99
(-$5.00 code for signing up for an account)
Shipping $30.86
Total is $481.84

Sideshow total without shipping is $489.98 and $30 non refundable deposit.

Yep, 2015 is shaping up to be extremely expensive between this and HT. Comparing SSC's shipping estimates to HT's quarterly schedule seems to indicate that SSC is being pretty optimistic. Think we will have lots of delays with most of these releases, which suits me fine.

Can't wait for this figure. It will be my first.

Also looking for coupon codes, will check that section of the board.

Congrats and welcome to the boards. It's a really cool figure. Really looking forward to getting mine.

At Sideshow you can use a $20 coupon for the figure and a different $20 coupon for the bike. The only question at this point is how much it will cost to ship them. Sideshow know down to the ounce how heavy the box will be and the exact dimensions, but they don't post rates until they start to ship - makes it harder to comparison shop.

It looks like you would also save about $40 going with alter ego Comics so it sounds like a horse a piece.

The question I have is should I order the exclusive scout now, and get on the waitlist? Since there is no coupon codes that work currently, Would I have to cancel my order to use a coupon later?

Btw does anyone know how long it usually takes to get a reply from sideshow customer service?

I realized that when I pre-ordered this I with flexpay I didnt consider that my credit card expires in june, and the last flexpay is scheduled for july. So I wanted to change to fewer flexpays or know if I can add my new credit card info when the new card arrives. Sent a email 2 days ago but havent heard anything.

Give them a few more days since they are probably flooded with emails due to the holidays. However shortening the number of payments won't move your last payment forward. It will just prolong your first payment. So the final payment will still be due in July.

Ah okay. Well no hurry I guess.

But you can change the card on your sideshow account as soon as you get it. Just have to make sure you apply the new card to all orders. Just did this recently.

They're closed until Monday I believe.

Great, thanks!

This figure looks stunning & i can't wait to own one. I was wondering if anyone has any info on the leg holster for the blaster? In the Star Wars Costumes(OT) book it shows a screen used Scout costume with the holster on the left leg...did this vary in ROTJ as most licences like SSC, GG, Hasbro etc etc depict it on the right leg?

 

[Tee-Kay]

Well, during the movie, it's seen only once during the chase scene and the scout his drawing its blaster from his right heel.
