Karma!!!

[tomandshell]

I have always, always, always wanted to receive an item from Sideshow with a single digit edition number. It's been a goal for a long time.

Recently, I was selected in the lottery and received the SSE Mummy PF, which I had promised to sell to another board member at cost. I received #09/50. There it was!! My single digit number!! However, I had promised not to keep it and I kept my word and sadly shipped away the only single digit number that I was ever likely to receive directly from Sideshow. I was bummed.

When I posted in the Mummy thread about having to lose my single digit #09, Lonnie shared these comforting words:

Tom, I know it hurts to let it go, but you will be rewarded for it!!! Karma!!! :rock

And today, Lonnie's prophetic words have been proven true:

Single digit, lowest number in my collection, and on a piece in one of my top two favorite lines. Now bring on Fett #42!!!

[DarthRamuk]

Congrats, Tom! I guess it pays to stay true to your words!

You deserve it!:D :chew :chew

I was so happy when I saw the box that my smile almost went all the way around to the back of my head, making the edges of my mouth meet on the back side and causing the upper half of my skull to go sliding off onto the ground.

Congrats Tom!

I hope karma doesn't hit just once!

[HAPPYBOY]

Awesome, couldn't happen to a better soul. Now, c'mon #42 FETT!

[Mookeylama]

congrats Tom!! about time huh. u deserve it.

[Captain Faramir]

I hope you get Boba #42 now!!!

"Do good things and good things happen."

[Darth Madden]

Very cool... but that pretty much guarentees that your Boba will not be anywhere near 42. :D

[The Josh]

Congrats Tom! I have one single digit item in my collection being the Pippin Statue. It's cool in just a personal way to have a single digit number. The # I want for any of the Fellowship PF is #9. It signifies the number of the Fellowship (obviously) and the bond of the members.

[Seretur]

Awesome news, Tom! Congratulations -- you richly deserve your luck!

(Hopefully larger ES numbers will start showing up. I'd hate to think Sideshow sold only eight of those Frodos.)

[Bodie The Cursed]

If I get Boba # 42 u cant have it.:emperor

[Batty]

Very cool... but that pretty much guarentees that your Boba will not be anywhere near 42. :D
Or he'll end up with either 41 or 43. :monkey2

[twistedfreak]

Congrats tom! Well deserved!

[occulum]

you reap what you sow :rock

[Captain Faramir]

Yup. It's the Law of the Harvest in action, my friends. :D

[King Darkness]

No one deserves it more than you Tom!!!!

However I do believe this to be a gift from the Great Kurgan, for your generosity to the King!!!

[tomandshell]

If I get Boba # 42 u cant have it.:emperor

Thanks!!!

:chew :chew :chew

Oh, wait...

I think I read that wrong.

[Darth Loki]

Congrats man. Couldn't happen to a better person. I'm still pulling for your #42 Fett as well.

And I'm still waiting for my first double digit SN# :monkey2

[Bum]

Shoot, I think most of the Board members would gladly exchange theirs to yours if we got #42, Tom :)

And if not, I'd even check my local stores just in case.
I know i've gotten a few double digits in LOTR so those are always awesome... still the elusive single digit is out there for me. :)

Congrats on the #8!

[El Roranous]

Congrats Tom, you deserve it! Hopefully all your good Karma isn't used up...

[olvidadero]

Good things come to those who wait, and you deserved it so! I also thought of Earl :lol

[DarkArtist81]

Congrats Tom!!! As always, it is well deserved! Hope you get your Fett as well. :rock2

[Nitro]

Congrats Tom!! You deserve this and remember, good karma comes around to good people!!!

[lcummins]

...And today, Lonnie's prophetic words have been proven true...

Congrats Tom!!! I just had a feeling about letting go of that Mummy! :D

[LOTRFan]

I got #7! :monkey3 :lol

:fireworks

[Gruson]

Awesome!

So how do you like it Frodo in person?

[The Josh]

I got #7! :monkey3 :lol

:fireworks

Man!! SS save some of those low numbers for us in the midwest. :rotfl

[Seretur]

Seriously, what's the biggest number anyone has gotten so far?

[The Josh]

My highest I believe is my RWOS with #4459

[LOTRFan]

Man!! SS save some of those low numbers for us in the midwest. :rotfl

Actually, it was #245 or something like that.

:monkey3

[The Josh]

:p :p :p :p :p :p

[pruette]

Awesome number, congratulations! :frodo :fest

The only single number I've ever gotten on a Sideshow piece is the Star Trek Data bust - got #8 on that one, actually. In my favorite lines, LOTR and Star Wars, closest I've come is #10 for the Watcher in the Water.

[Seretur]

One of my medallions is #9...

So what's the highest number on a Frodo PF so far? Matt's #245?

That would mean they sold almost a quarter of the entire ES! Who knew! :D

[tomandshell]

Awesome!

So how do you like it Frodo in person?

Frodo in person is fantastic and worth the wait. There are maybe 2.5 issues I have with him, but the costume detailing is awesome and under the nice lighting in my display cabinet, he really draws your attention. I removed the King of the Dead from my LOTR curio cabinet and replaced him with Frodo, so the gradual transition from the old polystone line over to the PFs has begun. (I have had Lurtz, but he is about half an inch too tall to fit in the cabinet. I have no idea what to do with him...)

[Asura]

That was nice of you, nice number as well on Frodo.Hoorah for karma :)

[Darth Rage]

Couldn't have happened to a nicer Freak. :cool:
