Sidius/Palpatine 2-pack

[mrhatrulez]

Got mine! So much easier than the old Ben debacle!
Nice job Sideshow!

 

[The Chaver]

I think that a lot of people would want the Senator version to pose with Mace and Kit Fisto.

Not enough to sell even half of what there most likely going make (6000 edition size)

 

[devilof76]

What it did was make it easier to get both figures, and not have to wait for either one.

 

[FlyAndFight]

I'll be displaying Palps between Anakin and Obi-Wan. Symbolically separating the two...

Sidious will go with SDCC Darth Anakin, Maul and the rest of the baddies to come.

 

[MaulFan]

I'd like to see pics of the holocron and cam droid.

They may not even be made / completed.

 

[Shalamar]

They may not even be made / completed.

What makes you say that?

Yeah but at $60 a pop for a palps figure,sh%# that's a little steep.Not for the Sidioius papls,but the senator palps,I don't know that's just me.

 

[The Josh]

Got it right when it went up. Thanks 2 a friend.

 

[Alice Adrenochrome]

I noticed that too...I could have used $65 in rewards points and get it half off, but I opted to save all of my rewards points for the next PF I'm going to get instead. I'd rather take $65 off someting that's over $300!

Using reward points on a more expensive item is not such a good idea IMO, since you don't earn any reward points for that item. You'd loose 300 reward points (potential $15) for an $300 item. It's better to use those points on cheaper items.

Definitely use your points on an item that will be completely paid by them in full. Get fifty bucks off a $300 item and you lose those other 250 points that you paid for.


No low quantity alert yet--the price tag will keep this from being a record sell out.

 

[Matt S]

Its 20 points for every dollar off, correct? It'll take me 2000 years of preorders to get $119 off!

How much cheaper would it have been on it's own? $5? So it costs $5 for a double box. But would Sidious have only been $60 if he was by himself?

I can understand people not wanting both and being mad at having to pay $120 for it, I guess.

No body's mad dude.I'm just saying why put the two together other then to make sure that you don't get stuck with the less desirable one(senator Palps).I mean you don't put these togther in two pack and not make just alitle bit cheaper for people.Im not saying I can't afford it,I just thought they were going to give us a better price.No big deal.

 

[DarthNeil]

Streamlined indeed... a very easy acquisition.

 

[pixletwin]

The one thing that disappoints me is the lack of pictures of the senate droid and the holocron.

 

[The Chaver]

Yeah those reward points are a joke.Those points barely even cover half the shipping of what you puchased.I also think SS over charges on there shipping.

 

[pixletwin]

I dunno if they are useless. Ask Tomandshell just how useless his reward points were... He only had to pay $16 for his two-pack.

I didn't use my points, so by the time Vader comes out, I should have enough points to get him for free!

 

[devilof76]

No body's mad dude.

I'm sure someone somewhere is. I didn't think you were though. I was just trying to imagine some reason why anyone would have a problem with the way it was done. That was all I could come up with.

And how is $7 for shipping exorbitant?

 

[Matt S]

If the points were 5 for every dollar, that would be great....


Are there any online retailers selling this yet? If I can get the reg version for $85, that would be a fantastic price!

Hmmm...so are you guys saying I should have put my points towards the Sidious/Palps 2-pack, to get it half off, or on a $60 or $70 figure to get it almost free, instead of saving them to use on a PF? Since then I wouldn't get the 250 points for my PF purchase? This has got me thinking now...
