Star Wars Wed?

[The Josh]

Correct. Anything held back until the end of the show must be something that doesn't impact the retailers. Like a Sideshow convention exclusive, for instance. They probably figured that the end of Toy Fair was as good a time as any, publicity wise, to announce their official plans for C4 to the fans.

You don't want an exclusive announcement (from which retailers will not benefit) to overshadow the new merchandise being solicited at Toy Fair. So it makes sense they they would stick it on at the very end.

Correct Tom. Use the start of the show to get your business plans in order with the business world. Then use the end of the show to get the fans ready for the summer conventions.

Makes sense....of course GG showed off all their convention exclusives except one I believe on the first day and minimal product but hey, whatever is clever right? Anything leaked about today's announcement yet?

 

[wampachow]

Obi v. Ani Diorama up for preorder now.

 

[rainman]

If they are going to make an announcement today, I'm thinking they are waiting for Toy Fair to be OVER. It's almost 4PM Eastern time right now. Toy Fair can't be open for too much longer today.

So basically, now that all the pre-orders are up... the only things we're waiting for today are another edition of "ask Sideshow" and this Star Wars announcement.

I've been waiting very impatiently for this announcement all day. I'm sure it'll be the C IV exclusive, but hopefully they'll give us that aren't going a shot at it.

And still waiting.... is this announcement ever going to happen?? I was hoping to hear something before I went to bed but its 11pm GMT now so I guess I'll have to wait until the morning.

 

[Darth Loki]

You'd think with TF being on the East coast, the announcement would've been made already. But it's obviously something that has nothing to do with TF or else we would've seen pics of it already. So it could be at any time tonight.

Well, the ASK SIDESHOW is up, so if they're going in the order of the website bullets, all that is left is the Star Wars announcement...hurry up


t.t.t.t.t.t.oday junior!

 

[tomandshell]

I'm not expecting any pictures, but rather a press release or similar announcement.

Like when they announced World of Warcraft. Nothing to show, just official news about something that would be happening in the future.

Today's announcement might be:

Sideshow Collectibles would like to officially announce that we will be attending Celebration IV, and there will be a Star Wars 12" figure exclusive to the convention. Watch our newsletter in the coming weeks for more information!

Good. Now I don't have to keep looking.

Tom's fabrications are always as good as the real thing, yes.

[Seretur]

I wish I was Matt and had an appropriate image to reply with.

But I'm sure you can dig one up for me, right?

 

[pixletwin]

Which to choose... Which to choose....

Seretur, how many languages do you speak?

Basically Croatian and English, and a smattering of the usual European ones.
