Thats more than Darth Vader or Boba Fett and probably any PF they've ever made. Not sold out at SSC. I've got to think its destined for giftcard list. If someone can get a new one for $275 minus $50 gift card, used on ebay <$200 easy.

"Hey Rockey, watch me pull a rabbit out'a my ass!" :rolleyes:

Right now, in this recession, with collector firesales plaguing just about everywhere, you can't even get a used plastic Boba Fett PF for $200. Everyone wants $225+. I really doubt Indy'll go $200 much less below it. Everyone is hindering sales with the whole chicken little bs, "he's too dark," or "that's a totally different headsculpt," or "oh, that jacket's green!" which is forcing others to take a "wait and see" approach. This is the best PF Sideshow has ever done. When people start to see that, he'll disappear.
 
I got my reg. today. #200. I LOVE it. One of my favorite PFs ever. Pics to come.
 
My collectibles have taken over my office...its more collection room than office now. :lol
 
Got my exclusive and I'm really happy with this PF. Just like some others have noticed, I thought the skin tone was a little dark, but (as someone else said) when put under lights, it looks just fine. For those of you who are going to re-paint and lighten the skin tone, I would be careful. If you put it back under display lights it will probably look to pale.
There's been some concern about the 'greenish' tint on the jacket. This shows up, depending on how the light hits it and (to me) makes this jacket the perfect shade. In the 1st 3 films (Raiders especially) you can't tell what color it is in some scenes. Having worked on 3 Indy card sets for topps, I really noticed the color tinting as I was browsing through hundreds of photos...you can really see some greens and blues. My hat's off to Sideshow for really being careful in choosing the right material and tint for the jacket.
Speaking of which, in ROTLA the jacket hangs on Ford like a 2nd shirt. I futzed with it a bit with a little sewing. Taking a needle and thread to the inner lining of the jacket, pulling it down and sewing it thought the belt loop. By doing this through the lining and not from the outside, you won't poke holes in the leather. I also added a wire under both the jacket collar and shirt collar for more of a natural fit.
Here's some quick shots:

the great company called UPS said I was to receive mine today Friday the 12... It never showed up. So I called and they have no idea where it is right now. "It's probably delayed due to the Holiday package load. Try back on Monday".. Riiiiiiight. AWESOME NEWS!..... umm not really. Going to cross my fingers and hope it arrives Monday.
