Sideshow Stormtrooper 12" figure

[Lee in MI]

Bet u were worried, huh?

Not so much about the exclusive...cause it ain't a deal breaker for me or my brother. I just didn't want to have been told I could order two...then I ordered two...just to have my order changed due to a mistake on their part. It was the principle of the matter that worried me. SS has never been the bait and switch type of guys, so I'm glad they didn't start now.

Jah, I was just playing wit ya, the exclusive version on the Trooper is not as big of a deal as the Vader, I got myself a couple regs and one ex on the Troopers...

I can see the principle definitely being the issue here!

My order is still not on my account page. But no sweat. I just got an email that stated what the order will show and the 2 X-Troopers are on it.

They did mess up my order for the Rebel Fleet Troopers. They couldn't tell me what the limit was at the con, so they wrote it up as "limit" for me. Then when I got the email...it said 1. But that was OK as they are still available and I ordered a second from the site.


And back on topic...I hope they made so many of the Stormtroopers that they end up on second chance until I get about 25 of them.

You want 25 troopers???

 

[Darth Cruel]

You want 25 troopers???

If they went down in price low enough...I'd want 100. I LOVE the armored troopers. I was buying 100 each of the Hasbro 3 3/4" ones (haven't completed that yet, but I am close). And will be again when the Coruscant trooper gets released.

Eidt - Realistically, though I am anticipating 10 of each. I do not expect them to drop in price enough to get all of them I want.

Now if I win the lottery...

OMG that would b fracking sweet to see 100 3 3/4 of them... I would start chanting as they were marching... even though they don't do that, I just hear that sound in my head everytime I see a army of soldiers!!! GI JOE, SW, etc...

That is one of the reasons I did it. It takes 90 to make a platoon as seen on the big screen. I have only made it to 100 on the Utapau Clone Troopers. The others I am at about 60 of each more or less. I have not been paying too much attention to it with my Sideshow figures taking up so much of my love right now.

And don't get the idea that I have paid full price for each one either. I think that between sales, cheap open figures on eBay, and friends that anted to get rid of their armies, I have averaged paying about 3-4 dollars per troop-builder clone.


Edit - After I get moved in to my new house, I'll set up a platoon and get a pic posted.

Didn't notice this before. Right at the top of the list of artisits on the Stormtrooper's spec tab on the product page...

Hot Toys


Hmmm.....

 

[The Mike]

Its on the Hot Toys/SSC combined effort'd Armored Prometheus isn't it? I would say that is where that blip comes from.

You may be right. I wonder if Vader's mannequin is being done by Hot Toys as well. I would guess that it is.

Anyone notice in the newsletter, under updates, it says Stormtrooper now December.

Yeah...the product page says the same thing, now.

I am really impatient for this figure.

Vader is suposed to be released on a modified version of the armor body.

I'm dreaming of a WHITE Christmas! I'd be stoked if these came in right before Christmas.

For real, where there goes Iron Man and Storm Troopers around Oct...

 

[dedguy]

All the better for me to spread out spending.

When did it ever look like Stormies would be October, I thought December/Q4 was always the target?
