SSC Luke Skywalker Snowspeeder Pilot Sixth Scale Figure

[TaliBane]

Well once Sideshow gets rid of all it's overproduced TFA stock, they may have room for a couple of new ones. I see they have a 3 for the price of 2 deal.

Yeah, jeez - did you get that e-mail in the last day or so? Buy a TFA fig, and get a TFA for free? I was like... wtf... they're giving them away now.

I would love to get this, but the $280 price tag (including California taxes) is deterring me.

CA tax only adds $10?

 

[FlyAndFight]

Just in time too.

CA tax only adds $10?

Oops - I misread the estimate. $308 with tax and shipping. Even more reason to avoid this figure for me.

 

[bmarz1000]

That's the cost of Shipping WITHIN California? What a rip!

 

[Darth Fok]

Whoa that's expensive! I remember back in the day the two pack HT bespin luke was cheaper that this

 

[Hoody999]

Don't worry they'll give a €20 discount......then it'll be cheap......

 

[Wor-Gar]

No kidding.

 

[jimmie_dimmick]

No kidding.

Aren't you in California too, Wor?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Aren't you in California too, Wor?

Yep. Consequently, haven't been ordering much other than exclusives from Sideshow ever since the prices went over $150 and their shipping rates tripled (for locals).

 

[davejames]

Yeah it would take free shipping and another big discount before I would even consider getting this.

 

[jimmie_dimmick]

Same. It's hard to justify the extra $20-$30 for an accessory.

 

[Natedog]

I know it was a long time ago and it was Hasbro, but remember when EVERY figure was the same price no matter how involved the outfit was or how many accessories you got. Good ol' days

Actually Sideshow started out like that too... for about the first 3-4 figures. Then the Mynock came along and changed everything.

Been saving that damn thing for the falcon cockpit that will probably never appear. Maybe I'll hang it from some fishing line above yoda's head.

 

[earthdog]

There's more than one way to skin a mynock

 

[FlyAndFight]

My mynock has been sticking to my safe ever since the release of that Han figure. It's actually a very cool exclusive piece.

 

[TaliBane]

This supposedly ships in two months and it's never been seen anywhere other than in studio set-up pics. Don't think that's ever happened before. I wonder what it means.

Perhaps all Sideshow employee's Star Wars swan song and blaze of glory? As in the perfect crime and figure they never intended to make. They all meet in the Sideshow employee lot at 4am sharp on "release day" and drive furiously toward Colombia one step ahead of the authorities with all the NRDs, flex payments, and up front money in tow. Which also explains why the price reeks of extortion.

 

[Tom Day]

It means that you've got two hopes of ever seeing this figure mate, no hope and Bob Hope.

 

[Hoody999]

Fine with me, allows Hot Toys to do it......sometime. But I'd be prepared to wait.
