*payment-plans this guy*

Damn it, I have the self-control of a toddler.

You are in good company here, my friend

I received a mint box from Toys Wonderland a few weeks ago and have one out for delivery from Sideshow today. The interesting thing I noticed is that there's a sticker on the one from Toys Wonderland that says "Hot Toys Exclusive" and I assume Sideshow's will have the usual "Sideshow Exclusive" on that box. My original plan was display one loose and one in box, so it's likely the one from TW will be the in-box option. Great idea to remove the plastic covering from the figure and replace the figure in the box, by the way!

I am sitting here chuckling to myself as I have never in all my days of receiving packages from Sideshow, received a brown shipper in more pristine condition. It literally looks like they gave it to a guy at Sideshow headquarters who double boxed it and drove it carefully across country in a Cadillac with brand new shocks and handed it to me lovingly at my front doorstep. I'm very happy as I now have two very nice boxes. I'm pretty happy with my loose display at the moment and might just keep this one minty and sealed for a while...

....So, what did you end up doing? Did Boba in fact end up derailing Hawkeye?

Or saints preserve us all, did you end up ordering both? Both is good. Both is the Hot Toys collector Way. This Is The Way.

*looks at preorder list and sighs*

 

[yodasan]

I already had both on preorder. Hawkeye just shipped but I really want this Vintage Boba more atm.

 

[Lordscum]

Boba arrived today minty fresh. Awesome piece even as a repaint.

Got mine today from SS. No damage to the collectors box, which was a pleasant surprise. I can't bring myself to open him though. The packaging looks too damn nice. I'm going to have to order a second one.

Still waiting on my order - anyone get one this month from Sideshow?

I ordered one recently, didn't use a payment plan, just the NRD. Haven't heard anything, so maybe they just got a small first batch.

 

[Vitron5]

I was told that they had a small first batch and that the next shipment was coming later in August. Hopefully soon.

 

[afaninfull]

Just got an email that this is charging on Wednesday!

And two hours later I got the email confirming shipping on Wednesday the 19th. Nice.

 

[yodasan]

Same here

 

[sandtrooper]

Got the shipping notice as well. I didn't order the figure until July 19th.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

I got a shipping soon email a couple days ago

Not at all. It's my favorite by a mile!

 

[Ramatuelle]

I am going to be paying off my preorder this thurs 8/20 - and I can't wait.

Now if we can just get our hands on Cody, that'll be something.

 

[Chronos1919]

Just can't bring myself to take him out of the package. It looks so good. I'll probably end up ordering a second one. I like the packaging so much I pre-ordered an extra Vader and Snowspeeder Luke to display packaged with him.
