You yet again prove that you are one of the biggest douches on this board.

Trying to give Chavez a run for his money are you?

Do you have any proof to back up your comment? How about something other than your rediculous loathing of all things SS?

Hahaha. **** you.

Indiana Jones is 90. This will be over 100. Sideshow is ridiculous.

It should come in at the same price as Gandolf and Indiana Jones:chew:chew

 

[MANDO]

Well Indy is $90 and comes with:

8 hands (altogether)
2 heads
new body
about ten additional accessories
hat

Chock most of that up as armor and you get Obi-Wan. He'll be $90.

This looks promising, originally posted in the main thread:

Forbiddan Planet in the UK has the Indy and armor Kenobi at the same price £49.99.

So if this holds true then he would be the same price as Indy, $89.99 which to me would honestly be a heck of a deal

Yeah I was thinking the same when I saw how much Indy comes with

The Medicommies must be ready to cry given the actual price on this beautiful piece.

 

[galactiboy]

I'm ready to cry for the price... so good compared to what I would have feard!

And as a group we were pretty close... just off by $.01. But to the 21 who low-balled at $80-$89.99 I salute you

 

[tomandshell]

Looks like most of us were wrong!!!

:chew

(I now feel even less likely to ever purchase a Medicom figure.)

[The ill Jedi]

I guessed $89.99 all along, awesome price for an awesome figure!!!!

I predicted $89.99 all along... just like Gandy and Indy. :chew

 

[IronFingaz]

Also predicted $89.99... Glad it wasnt more

 

[bagelsncheesey]

Yep, voted about right myself. Came out to $97 for me.

 

[Protozaius]

Amazing... I voted correctly myself.

Although I must say I did vote after I placed my order for him.

[galactiboy]

Damn! Knew I should have put a close date on voting... darn untrustworthy freaks?!?

BTW Proto, nice to see you outside of the Apes campaign!

Actually, 2 others did too... only 21 had voted for that price point as of 10a PST

EDITED TO NOT STIR THE POT.

We should show this to Nash, proof positive of my point!

I'll give a response to this. I have quite a few Medicoms and I love every one of them. I have a few more SS figures and love some of them.
More than half of my Medi figures I got for under $100, I've only paid full retail for 3. The price of them used to be lower (on StarWarsShop of all places!) before SS jacked the price up higher.

As for the price on General Kenobi, it is less than I predicted and I'm happy with that. One of my biggest complaints has been with the buck and thankfully this figure does not carry that defect. I did order this figure and I'm eager to get it in-hand to see what it's like, how it's made. With past SS products, there have been quite a few manufacturing defects so I'm holding my breath that those will be eliminated this time around. It is a totally new product so no one knows yet how it will turn out just yet. The "Medicom was pwned today" conjectures are very premature. That doesn't mean it could be true when these do arrive in our homes, but for now my holochair that is broke, won't stand and bends its legs is a daily reminder that not everything is a sure-fire home run.


Now, let's say that General Kenobi turns out okay with no major defects, how will I feel then? I'll be happy that I can get more figures and they will cost me less money. I'll still love my Medicom figures though.

In the end, the opinion of people that have both Medicom and SS product is the one that matters the most, people that don't purchase Medis have no effect on that market and can't hurt it. I just want to have a lot of very nice figures.
