SSC Luke Skywalker Snowspeeder Pilot Sixth Scale Figure

[evenflow]

Yep I have seen nothing indicating SS and HT will simultaneously release the same figures or that HT is doing a pilot Luke. Jedi Luke yes, pilot no.

I hope that doesn't count out R2 and 3PO though.

It's three and a half years ago I know, but you could buy TWO Sideshow Tusken figures ($135) for the price of this Luke.
Just trying to get my head around the idea of a pretty standard Sideshow figure that's nearly $300.

Jedi Luke was fifty bucks.

And people still bitched about the price.

It's not bad for the clothes, boots, belt, bone and saber.

Treat the head and body as freebies.

I think I paid £25 for mine.

If the Snowspeeder head turns out to be acceptable I'll probably be digging old Jedi Luke out again.

Well, Jack’s intel does shed new light into the situation! I’ll definitely have to give it some serious consideration now. It will all depend on whether I can get a good deal for it, and what else is coming down the pike. Yes, they definitely could have given us the grappling gun and detonator, but I think the proto looks good overall. And like I said before, the TOD Indy has instilled some confidence in Sideshow’s end product quality for me.

BTW, thanks, for dropping in, Jack! You’re always a welcome presence. Don’t let those haters keep you away!

I left that out because it's ten years ago. But yeah - you could buy nearly SIX of that figure for the price of this one.

I mean six years ago this ginormous thing was only $200 more than the Luke figure (though it could be had for $400, making the difference only $130) ...

This guy is up for pre-order again and he's $20 CHEAPER than the Luke figure...

The list goes on! This is 3 years ago and was only $30 more than the Luke figure...

It's sixty years ago and you could buy a house from Sears for eight dollars more than Luke.

Ten years from now this will look like a bargain.

 

[Darth Fok]

Ha, I'd buy that for a dollar!

I know it's tiresome, but I just can't get over the crazy prices Sideshow is charging for their figures. If you can't put out a product as good as HT for the same price then you need to get out.

$240 is the new base price for a figure and while they have improved dramatically since the $50 days or Jedi Luke, there is just no reason the figures should be this high.

I always thought the "when will you be priced" out threads were funny as I was kept in as prices krept to $200 a pop; but with Sideshow leaping from $200 to $270 (with less included) in such a short period of time I finally found the spot where I'm out.

I probably would buy the same figure at $270 if it were HT because I know the final product would look great, but no way I'll do that here.

It's sixty years ago and you could buy a house from Sears for eight dollars more than Luke.

Next time the housing market collapses we may be back there again
