Color Republic Commando Maquette at SWS.com (http://shop.starwars.com/catalog/product.xml?product_id=405380)

Limited 500

[SolidLiquidFox]

Order placed. I always said the bronze looked like crap but if they ever were to make a painted version I would be there.

[oxbeard]

As much as I like bronze pieces. This color version definitely looks better.

[Agent0028]

That looks really nice, I've never played the game (no Xbox) so it's not something I'm aching for, if it were of the RC's from the books though I'd be in trouble.

[carbo-fation]

That looks really nice!

[tomandshell]

I ordered it, but I will very likely end up cancelling it because there is just so much stuff shipping in October/November.

[SolidLiquidFox]

you also said you were not collecting the clone wars maquettes...let's get sirious Tom :lol

[hairlesswookiee]

nice!! someone had one of the bronze versions custom painted and it looked just as good and im sure they paid 3X as much

[tomandshell]

you also said you were not collecting the clone wars maquettes...let's get sirious Tom :lol

My resolve is as strong as a tin sieve.

[Gruson]

This will sell out quick.

Get them now!

[Collector Freak]

Wasn't the bronze $200?

[Darth Loki]

Doesn't look bad, just doesn't really interest me.

[Gruson]

Wasn't the bronze $200?

Edit, you are right, it was just $235.

[pruette]

Wasn't the bronze $200?

I just looked back through my emails - bronze one was $235.

They are not sending to Turkey and Russia :monkey1

[SolidLiquidFox]

Low Quantity Alert!!!

oh wait...

[Buzzie]

gone :monkey2

[DarthRamuk]

Glad that I resisted ordering this......now that it is sold out.....I feel better that the temptation is gone for good!:chew

It's just not worth ordering something like this (even if it's an extremely limited piece) on impulse and having to cancel my SSC pre-orders when I can't afford all.....

If only I can resist not ordering SSC figures! I've sold my soul to SSC, I believe!:lol

[LordAzrael]

I agree DarthRamuk. I reckon the Commandos are 4 must do figures for the Military Line!

[Azog]

I agree DarthRamuk. I reckon the Commandos are 4 must do figures for the Military Line!


Oh man if that happens, lots of folks would be happy

[SolidLiquidFox]

Sold out in hours, uh?

I think this piece will be popular once is released. Especially if they do a good job on the paint. Lord knows they are charging a hefty premium so a nice paint job could justify it.

Congrats to all that picked one up. :emperor

[DannieDarKo]

Got 1 ordered! :rock

[Buzzie]

Anyone has a picture of it?
At least want to see what I missed :rolleyes:

[Bannister]

big thanks to danniedarko for letting me know this was up. got one on order as well.:chew

That's the annoying thing about Star Wars Shop--once it sells out, you can't bring up the page again to look at what you ordered (or didn't order).

[Buzzie]

thx.. now i´m not that sad anymore :o

[hairlesswookiee]

not to put it down, but it just doesnt interest me the slightest bit. the books/ games are great stories, but i think they could've done better with this.

[SolidLiquidFox]

These have a tendency to look better in person. Not to mention these shots are most certainly from a rough prototype. You can tell right away by the sloppy blue highlights on the face of the helmet.

Glad I caught this one ontime. :chew

[tomandshell]

Also, the whole thing is only 7.5 inches tall, so some of the closeups are blowing it up larger than life.

[Darth Loki]

Had the chance to order this and not upset in the least that I didn't.

[Agent0028]

I think it looks nice, if I had the money I probably would have gotten it...if I had the money and it was Darman, Atin, Fi, and Niner I definitely would have gotten it. Congrats to everyone who snagged one!

[LOTRFan]

thx.. now i´m not that sad anymore :o

That nameplate could hardly look worse, easy pass. :cool:

[gambit]

I really do not like this one.
I try to get one and see that they do not ship to here but even if I buy, it was just to flip it later on.

for 7" statue with not so much nice looking paint, etc. 300 $ is way to much. making the ES 500 should not increase the price, they are using our collection hobby to make money. :emperor

Yes, but that's the whole point of staying in business. You to sell something that someone else wants for a profit.

[Darth Robbler]

Right on!! Those characters rock in the books!

[hairlesswookiee]
