That too. Butt I always wash my hands before handling my dollies. We must be kindred spirits. Are you a butt sniffer as well?

 

[Centurion]

I'm a nit picker. How bout you?

All together as a group >>>>> "Welcome, jedijim!"

 

[jedijim3002]

Haaaa!!! I love it. Thanks bro. I feel like I'm at Cheers with Norm and Woody when I visit these boards.

BBTS just jacked theirs up to $400. Wonder what happened there?

What the hell?!
That didn't last very long.

We should have typed quieter.

Don't know how I missed that latest video, looks fantastic there...
wow...

Indeed. I think the lighting, however, helped to make the finish look better. During the video, there were times were you could see the finish appears to be the same, unchanged.

 

[jedijim3002]

Which video is this?

 

[Billy Ray]

There's no doubt this figure is off the chain, but I simply can't justify the price. Sure is one hell of a piece though, if Sideshow's comes anywhere close I will be happy to buy that.

 

[Mr Walker]

The last question is really just the finish. It looks better in this vid, but it is still not "chromed."

If you're willing to give it a nice "wash", gonna guess you'd end up with a nice "dirty" 3PO.

Will consider buying.

 

[jedijim3002]

Hopefully I'll be in a different financial position when this bad boy finally hits.

Crosses fingers and prays its in scale.

 

[DCFett]

Took the plunge. SS is showing less than 100 remaining so I'm figuring I want it even if it ends up as a stand alone piece. Only outstanding question for me is the scale, but I'm willing to take my chances. If I'm completely dissatisfied, hey, I only loose $40 bucks. I think I can live with that. I used $48 in points too so the loss won't be cash if it comes to that.

If only SSC could sell this mold in plastic version for much less..kinda like what Toynami did with Voltron.

Damnit. Hoped to wait for in-hand pics to see finish and scale before taking the plunge.

$400 or $$$ later.

There's a thought. I wonder if that is the plan? I'm still curious as to why this is being marketed as a joint manufacturing effort versus just a distribution deal. SS is mum on it at this point.

Me too, but the window seems to be closing on that option. For something of this nature, I gotta get that SS customer service just in case this goes terribly sideways.

I'm guessing it's because this is IT for now, these ARE the Droids we're looking for.

Sideshow haven't done The Droids in the whole time they've had the license and have decided to collaborate with Tamashii/Bandai because they felt it was a good opportunity or couldn't do them themselves (Grievous doesn't seem to have worked out?), etc???

Even if Sideshow have plans to do their own I doubt it would be soon if they have just gone in on this venture?
