dio is the preorder

announcement...??????

maybe announcing the CIV exclusive

or maybe the end of the line?
































just kidding

[tomandshell]

Yes, the Diorama Announcement was on Sunday's schedule.

[IrishJedi]

The Celebration IV announcement makes sense. The Con is just over 3 months away now.

[blue_rogue]

I'm hoping the announcement is Legendary Scale Busts. I want :vader done with removable helmet pieces, like the Dr. Doom and Iron Man busts. :rock

[mfoga]

So when is the pre-order then. I hate this, I am out of town and all this going on. Good think I can get to the internet from my phone, I got me Maul.

that's my gripe

I wanna know if there's an exclusive, what is it & if there's a set es

I hate to miss out by not being around

[Karma]

that would be a logical step as they've done it to marvel & lotr

[The Josh]

The Celebration IV announcement makes sense. The Con is just over 3 months away now.

I agree. Especially, since they're going to have one. Gotta get it up for order soon.

[darthviper107]

I'm hoping for a surprise unveiling of a Chewie 1/6th

[Seretur]

Yeah, the diorama is the preorder. The moment of truth, as far as the exclusive goes.

As for the announcement -- I doubt it'll be another line. So it's another product, most likely. And honestly, even if I'm not into these things, a 12" figure of a major character would certainly be in order.

Snowbunny Padmé, anyone?

But then again, I'm probably way off the mark here...

[darthviper107]

In the Q/A section for today they had a question on the Snowbunny Padme, they said that they didn't like some part of it so they went back to redo it so it's going to be a bit longer before we get stuff for that.

[Darth Waller]

I'm still holding out that the announcement is for a new line instead of a new product. Seems like they announced all their TF products on Saturday.

[MaulFan]

I worry about this Pre-Order, whatver it's for, I hope it is Inclusive or something, I think a lot of people might be upset if it was a big item in limited edition with no real announcement ahead, some people can make arrangements to be free at order time but for this we'll be pretty in the dark.

[Rocktonix]

I'm hoping for a surprise unveiling of a Chewie 1/6th

I'm hoping for the same thing. the chess table is cool but I need a good reason to get it and Chewie would definately be a good reason.

[Seretur]

You're right, so it's not Padmé! My bad, I haven't read the entire Q&A before posting. (And it's snowing so wonderfully outside...)

Well then, I still hope it's another 12" fig for all you figure collectors. Although I'd love a peek at the next diorama... :D

[The Josh]

Snowbunny Padmé, anyone?

But then again, I'm probably way off the mark here...

Don't count on that. She's not coming anytime soon according the Q&A. They're fixing some stuff they didn't like.

[Seretur]

I'm pretty sure it's not going to be a preorder. Just an announcement.

[IrishJedi]

Josh is correct.

Of course, the less diplomatic explanation is that the Snow Bunny costume doesn't look good on the crappy Buck body.

[Darth Waller]

It's time for a smooth body so tight-fitting outfits (Snow Bunny Padme) and almost-nothing outfits (Slave Leia) don't look silly.

[Seretur]

True. Mind, I won't be getting her even if she does look good -- I'm patiently waiting for her in a non-EU, PF form!

[MaulFan]

I'm pretty sure it's not going to be a preorder. Just an announcement.

If you look at Sideshow's TF page, it Says on part 1 of the Wednesday list "Star Wars Pre Order" and then in part 2, "Star Wars Announcement", there are 2 things Star Wars happening tomorrow, unless they mispublished the site.

[Seretur]

Well yes -- the diorama will be the preorder, not some mysterious item noone has heard about yet.

That one will be the announcement.

I guess. :)

[LordAzrael]

Josh is correct.

Of course, the less diplomatic explanation is that the Snow Bunny costume doesn't look good on the crappy Buck body.

Triad anyone ?

[Wor-Gar]

I hope its something larger than balls and Bubos...

:D

[Seretur]

You mean, you still dare to hope? :D

[Wor-Gar]

You mean, you still dare to hope? :D

Its never our last hope. There is always another.

[The Josh]

The more I think about it the more I'm really thinking it will be the C4 figure.

[Wor-Gar]

Would they really announce that now?

The mystery SW announcement certainly won't be a PF; so it would seem logical that it has something to do with that Dejarik Expansion Pack.

R2? 3PO? :chew

[Billy]

I hope its something cool for a change.

Billy

[The Josh]

Would they really announce that now?



Yes, they would. They're going to announce the SDCC in April/May it said in the newsletter for an event in July.

[Wor-Gar]

Yes, they would. They're going to announce the SDCC in April/May it said in the newsletter for an event in July.

Oh, well that would be cool. Just seems like a long way off to give it away. But hell, I'm game.

I'm still thinking that the surprise announcement will be connected to the Dejarik table. For Friday's PPO, they have to have a character to go with it. Otherwise, what is it an expansion of?

Maybe the CIV announcement and the Dejarik table are connected.

[MaulFan]

Well, I don't want to give out spoilers but I hear.....





















...Sideshow will have an exclusive ultra rare Gentle Giant Exclusive bust...lol

[anakin1138]

I'm hoping the announcement is Legendary Scale Busts. I want :vader done with removable helmet pieces, like the Dr. Doom and Iron Man busts. :rock

I wish them to make a 1:1 version Darth Vader reveal bust without eyebrows... as there's an Illusive concept one out there with eyebrows which, as you all know, has been removed for the dvd release, as If somebody get burned that way there's no way he can still have his eyebrows...even with an implant no way!:D

[MaulFan]

Somewhere it was written that because of the scale, 1:1 Vader and other helmeted characters would be in conflict with MR producing helmets, I read that the focus would be on alien creatures, a Grievous would be totally bad ass though.

[FlyAndFight]

Ladies and Gentlemen, the mystery item is a Bobble-head...

Well, it is a ways off but since they do the same for SDCC I'm assuming they will do this as well. I don't know. Whatever it is I'm game as well.

[BDarin73]

I've been wondering what this is since Sunday when I heard about it. I hope its a 1/6 figure I'm getting a bit annoyed with expansions without figures accompanying them.

[Wor-Gar]

I just hope its a 1/6th figure from the OT.

I'm so amped about the HT Power Loader, I could really use a boost from SW to make my Toyfair experience... complete.

[MaulFan]

Jabba the Hutt PF :)

[anakin1138]

Somewhere it was written that because of the scale, 1:1 Vader and other helmeted characters would be in conflict with MR producing helmets, I read that the focus would be on alien creatures, a Grievous would be totally bad ass though.

That's not cool:cool: , I read that too but Anakin reveal would be a bit different than just making an helmeted bust I think... anyway I'm with you for the next 1:1 bust, as I said before, I wish it to be Grievous or Palpatine...

[Wor-Gar]

Jabba the Hutt PF :)

Dream on :lol

Don't you have enough Hutt right now? :D

[MaulFan]

Dream on :lol

Don't you have enough Hutt right now? :D

Technically, no, I have no SSC Hutt just yet, so my ambitions are SKY high :)

[Wor-Gar]

Technically, no, I have no SSC Hutt just yet, so my ambitions are SKY high :)

Patience...

We really should be calling you Jabbafan now, you know? :)

[MaulFan]

Patience...

We really should be calling you Jabbafan now, you know? :)

I do know, I actually said that in one these threads :) Maul is my current and adult fandom, but Jabba is my childhood favorite, call me JabbaMaul lol.

[lcummins]

...And it's snowing so wonderfully outside...


Please, please, please send some down to Texas! Pretty please! And if that's not good enough, I begs!!!

[MaulFan]

Please, please, please send some down to Texas! Pretty please! And if that's not good enough, I begs!!!

You can have all the snow I'm about to get, that way Jabba will get to me faster :)

[jedibear]

SNOW?!?! You want snow?
Come around my neck o' the woods tomorrow 'round noon...I'll have a good 3 to 4 feet for ya:D ....I just hope Jabba & his throne show up on thrusday as scheduled...already got a spot cleared out...

[BDarin73]

yeah same here and you can have the sleet coming down right now too as a bonus

[darthviper107]

We love snow in Texas, seriously we either get it once or not at all every year. But here at college which is a bit more north, we get snow much more often. It's snowing right now.

[Seretur]

Lonnie, it just stopped snowing outside...

And congrats on your win, btw! :joy

[pixletwin]

I agree. Especially, since they're going to have one. Gotta get it up for order soon.

The truth of your words made me spine tingle... shureghgaaaaaa

[jason2885]

Ok I have now opened up Jabba and took a nap and now I need to know what I need to be looking for tomorrow. What time do I need to get on to preorder the diorama has anyone confirmed an exclusive or not.

I really think the announcement is a 1/6 figure, hopefully Chewie and the droids, maybe this will be an inclusive weekend.

[The Josh]

The truth of your words made me spine tingle... shureghgaaaaaa

I tend to have that effect on people. :lol

[Darren Carnall]

Ladies and Gentlemen, the mystery item is a Bobble-head...

.................a Bubo-Bobblehead

[metaphorge]

It's time for a smooth body so tight-fitting outfits (Snow Bunny Padme) and almost-nothing outfits (Slave Leia) don't look silly.

Triad anyone ?

Yes, they should definitely license Triad's new bodies:

That would be nice! I really want my SS Luke to get a better body, I love the sculpt and paint, but I'm so limited with poses for him.

[lcummins]

You can all send me your snow!!! I'm a Kentucky boy and grew up with snows every winter; maybe not a lot, but at least we had snow! After 11 years in Texas, I really, really miss snow! In those years, I think we've had one really good snow (which lasted all of one day) and a couple of light ones. I go home to KY every year for Christmas, and only a couple of times has there been snow; most of the time it was either before or after I had been home.

So again I say, "SEND ME YOUR SNOW!!!" :D

[MaulFan]

Well one good part of being home from work today, I get to be online the whole time and check out SSC's site for the news :)

[Seretur]

Well, there's a new blog update on the Chess Set, to usher in the Wednesday.

Looks lovely -- the table is actually polystone, and the figures are pewter. Not bad at that price point, not at all.

Surely this must be a portent of great preorders (WITH and exclusive, please!) and announcements to come, right?

:joy

[MaulFan]

I don't know how many of you visit Rebelscum, but the ForceCast podcast the other day had a long interview with one of the Rebelscum guys about the items and TF and they had the low down on the polystone pewter issue before offical SSC word, I suggest checking it out if you want to get some great info and first hand reviews of these and other items.

[Seretur]

That's good to know. Still, those podcasts do tend to go on and on, which makes weeding out useful info a bit of a chore, at least for me.

Do share other tidbits if you come upon them, MaulFan! (And yes, I know this makes me seem like a lazy sod. Which I'm not... honestly... I'd even prove it to you, but I can't be bothered.)

:)

[swabie2424]

Is anything happening in 7 minutes that I need to be aware of? Is the diorama up for sale?

[JohnyBoo]

Same for me, when is this bugger ready for preorder?

[Seretur]

When is anything going up for preorder?

Darkness should've been up hours ago. It's afternoon in NYC already!

[JohnyBoo]

Well it obviously isn't at 10:00 Pacific Time. Oh well, I can't sit in front of the computer all day.:cool:

[PosterBoyKelly]

I was hoping 10 as well. What up?

[swabie2424]

No one seems to know. I don't even know what is going up for pre-order?

[Seretur]

Dusty is saying that Darkness should be up by the END of the DAY...

Good news, though, is that there will be FLEXPAY FOR THE VS. DIORAMA.

:blissy

I think it could be possible that the info on the chess set is a hint towards the announcement later today. I'm hoping chewie...:chew

[Darth Waller]

Maybe it's all a crazy idea, I'm going to guess that the new announcement is Star Wars environments (much like Jabba et al), but for the Milennium Falcon. The chess table is an expansion piece for that environment.

Chewie or the droids would follow soon. The next figure announced will be Tatooine Luke, with the CIV exclusive figure being Tatooine Luke with blast shield helmet.

[The Mike]

Does anyone know if the announcement will be made at a certain time?

[The Josh]

Does anyone know if the announcement will be made at a certain time?

Hopefully before 3pm CST.

[JohnyBoo]

It is so freakin cold outside so I am making a party out of this and watching ANH, I am ready for any preordering that may occur. :chew

[MaulFan]

Part of me is thinking this new article about the Chess Table is the ""big announcement"", I know that would probably sadden many, myself included, but it wouldn't surprise me either.

[pixletwin]

Part of me is thinking this new article about the Chess Table is the ""big announcement"", I know that would probably sadden many, myself included, but it wouldn't surprise me either.

Naw. The chess table was announced allready. It will be something new and related to CIV, me thinks. Smack me if I'm wrong. :D

[theropod]

Naw. It will be something new and related to CIV, me thinks.

I’m sure that is what it is. After all, Toy Fair is primarily a retailer show. Sideshow wouldn’t delay anything that wasn’t an exclusive until the end of the show or they could miss potential retail business opportunities.
-theropod

[tomandshell]

Correct. Anything held back until the end of the show must be something that doesn't impact the retailers. Like a Sideshow convention exclusive, for instance. They probably figured that the end of Toy Fair was as good a time as any, publicity wise, to announce their official plans for C4 to the fans.

You don't want an exclusive announcement (from which retailers will not benefit) to overshadow the new merchandise being solicited at Toy Fair. So it makes sense they they would stick it on at the very end.

[darthviper107]

Darn you Tom, don't dampen my spirits! Chewie forever!

[MaulFan]

Or it could be something that isn't Exclusive but is a big deal that the retailers know of but has been locked under tight security, I've been following the RS Toy Fair coverage and it sounds like things are being discussed at the even that aren't for public ears just yet, so it could be anything. Whatever it is, as long as it's not just the Chess update, I'll be glad because there hasn't been a Sideshow announcement in any SW line since I've been on the Sideshow train that hasn't blown me away and caught my eye and wallet.

[The Josh]

Correct Tom. Use the start of the show to get your business plans in order with the business world. Then use the end of the show to get the fans ready for the summer conventions.

[The Mike]

Makes sense....of course GG showed off all their convention exclusives except one I believe on the first day :duh and minimal product but hey, whatever is clever right? Anything leaked about today's announcement yet?

[wampachow]

Obi v. Ani Diorama up for preorder now (http://www.sideshowtoy.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=search&query=^basic_search.sql&q1=2202).

[rainman]

If they are going to make an announcement today, I'm thinking they are waiting for Toy Fair to be OVER. It's almost 4PM Eastern time right now. Toy Fair can't be open for too much longer today.

[swabie2424]

So basically, now that all the pre-orders are up... the only things we're waiting for today are another edition of "ask Sideshow" and this Star Wars announcement.

[Darth Loki]

I've been waiting very impatiently for this announcement all day. I'm sure it'll be the C IV exclusive, but hopefully they'll give us that aren't going a shot at it.

[Smudger9]

I've been waiting very impatiently for this announcement all day. I'm sure it'll be the C IV exclusive, but hopefully they'll give us that aren't going a shot at it.

And still waiting.... is this announcement ever going to happen?? I was hoping to hear something before I went to bed but its 11pm GMT now so I guess I'll have to wait until the morning.

[Darth Loki]

You'd think with TF being on the East coast, the announcement would've been made already. But it's obviously something that has nothing to do with TF or else we would've seen pics of it already. So it could be at any time tonight.

[MaulFan]

Well, the ASK SIDESHOW is up, so if they're going in the order of the website bullets, all that is left is the Star Wars announcement...hurry up


t.t.t.t.t.t.oday junior!

[tomandshell]

I'm not expecting any pictures, but rather a press release or similar announcement.

Like when they announced World of Warcraft. Nothing to show, just official news about something that would be happening in the future.

Today's announcement might be:

Sideshow Collectibles would like to officially announce that we will be attending Celebration IV, and there will be a Star Wars 12" figure exclusive to the convention. Watch our newsletter in the coming weeks for more information!

[Batty]

Good. Now I don't have to keep looking.

Tom's fabrications are always as good as the real thing, yes. :D

They know that all of us not our for Valentine's are sitting here on our computers waiting for something...STOP ^^^^^KING WITH OUR MINDS SIDESHOW!!!

It won't be a surprise preorder or anything like that. Just read the news after your date.

Tom was right, then! :o

[Batty]

Basically Croatian and English, and a smattering of the usual European ones.
That's better than me...I can barely speak English sometimes!

[Wor-Gar]

Any news on this "announcement"?

Is it going to be like the Power Loader -- basically an announcement that it will be announced at a later date?

[Karma]

can dusty or chris confirm if there is to be another announcement?

not asking what it is, just to confirm there is one coming

It's scheduled on the web site in the Toy Fair section. They know that--we know that--they know we know that.

It will come...

[Wor-Gar]

That is what I am expecting.

Oh man... the only two things I cared about and both seem to be a tease.

:monkey2

[Grange Wallis]

If there is one thing I've noticed about SS is that they always post their new really late in the day, adv the Helpdesk has closed. I personally think it's because they don't want the Fan-Boy feedback on the phone lines.... That's my a theory!:monkey1

[tomandshell]

It seems like they have doing a lot of things on the hour.

I am expecting the final announcement to come at 5 PM PST, at the end of Sideshow's business day.

[MaulFan]

Even though it's 7:30 here on the east coast, doesn't mean Sideshow will operate in sync with Toy Fair time, their office it's only 4:30, more time left in the day to post news...or they could do it NOW!!!

[Wor-Gar]

It seems like they have doing a lot of things on the hour.

Tom, do you secretly work for these people or what?

Are you a plant?! OMG -- TOM's one of.... THE OTHERS!

:D

[Batty]

Well, I need to shovel the driveway. Again. Someone come get me if an announcement is made. Thanks.

[Karma]

the waiting is annoying because it could be nothing or it's already announced like the dios

[Seretur]

Tom, do you secretly work for these people or what?

I just hope the announcement comes before tonight's episode of Lost, yes.

[anakin1138]

Nope, they stated that the dioramas was the sunday SW announcement... I do hope in a new PF or 1:1 bust.

[Xander]

I hope it's something to go with that Chess Table! Makes sense as it increase sales of the Table itself!

[Amir]

It's 5 on the West coast...still nothing...maybe 6 then:D (wishful thinking)

[anakin1138]

Please Sideshow make the announcement as I wish to go to bed, It's 2 am here :)

[tomandshell]

Man! If I were you, I would get some sleep.

Some folks are bound to be let down when they don't get their last minute Chewie announcement.

:monkey2

[Bum]

i'm telling you, it's PF Kool-Aid Man crashing through the Mos Eisley Cantina

[Xander]

i'm telling you, it's PF Kool-Aid Man crashing through the Mos Eisley Cantina


"OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!" :D

Oh, no.

[Bannister]

i'm telling you, it's PF Kool-Aid Man crashing through the Mos Eisley Cantina
:rock:rock:rock
Hopefully the Hamburglar is next.

[MicroJow]

Well, I don't want to be Mr. Gloomy Gus or anything, but I've just about lost hope on the "Star Wars Announcement" being anything but that comment about the CIV figure.

And to be honest, without a glimmer of Chewie or the droids on the horizon, I can't see any reason to order that Chess Table, either. Even when they DO make a Chewie, I'm likely to pose him next to Han in the classic "aiming and firing" position:

http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/twentieth_century_fox/star_wars/_group_photos/harrison_ford9.jpg

:monkey2

Yes, but If It's Chewie PF then It's worth the wait... anyway I know we are talking about 12" Chewie... maybe...:confused:
We need a 30th anniversary A NEW HOPE PF announcement... yes the thing is I'm asleep and just started dreaming... please Tom, don't wake me up :).

By the way:
"The last of our Toy Fair contests have been posted!"

Coming up next:
STAR WARS Announcement... I would say It's either a PF, 12", diorama, lifesize bust, lifesize droids, legendary scale busts line announcement... and I surely bet is one of these... I know that's not funny...:D

and I better go to bed!!!

[darthviper107]

It's gotta be something good to have it after Toy Fair is over.

[anakin1138]

Please don't be upset if it's none of those things!!

Ok I won't...and, yes, I'm still awake!:D Anyway see ya tomorrow... I'm really going to bed now... goodnight everybody!

[The Mike]

Its gotta be something good to have it on its own and not just bundled in with tomorrow's newsletter...

[BDarin73]

I keep checking to see if anything has changed....Damn you Sideshow! Just post it already, its 8:40 on the east coast toy fair is over its wed wheres the announcement?

[SideshowDusty]

can dusty or chris confirm if there is to be another announcement?

not asking what it is, just to confirm there is one coming

Yes, I can confirm. But Tom is right, it's not a pre-order... so go out on your Valentine's dates and enjoy yourselves and THANKS for all the Toy Fair fun!!

[The Mike]

The plot thickens....I'm banking on the CIV Exclusive annoucement...

[tomandshell]

But Tom is right

Dusty, will you teach my wife how to say that?

[Batty]

Yes, I can confirm. But Tom is right, it's not a pre-order... so go out on your Valentine's dates and enjoy yourselves and THANKS for all the Toy Fair fun!!
That's a very diplomatic answer. :D

[Bum]

so is it the PF Kool-aid Man, Dusty?

[SideshowDusty]

[MaulFan]

More important than WHAT is it, is WHEN is it.

Oh dang, I hope this isn't it but in Behind the Show it has an annoucement that Sideshow is attending C4, and that's it. 2 exclusives.

[Seretur]

Wheeeee.... what is it, then?

Sideshow to attend Celebration IV in Los Angeles! (http://www.sideshowtoy.com/behindtheshow/?p=2705&source=wp_news)

[mloradites]

it's up http://www.sideshowtoy.com/behindtheshow/?p=2705&source=wp_news

Sideshow Collectibles would like to officially announce that we will be attending Celebration IV, and there will be a Star Wars 12" figure exclusive to the convention. Watch our newsletter in the coming weeks for more information!


You were off, Tom.

Way off.

There will be two exclusives.

[Seretur]

Yeah, exactly... we got an announcement of an announcement.

Still:

At this time, we can confirm that Sideshow is planning to offer at least two exciting Convention Exclusives for Celebration IV. We will be dropping hints about the chosen characters and categories for these Exclusives during the months leading up to the much-anticipated convention. Plus, we’ll be releasing information about pre-ordering opportunities, so be sure to stay tuned to our weekly Newsletter in the coming weeks to stay on top of all our C4 updates!

There will be categorieS, so there's hope for a new diorama on top of the expected 12" figure. And poor sods like me who can't attend will be able to non-attendee preoder... hopefully!

:joy

[PosterBoyKelly]

super-lame, that aint news! not even the first hint.

[MaulFan]

C4 is the announcement, and it's not even news, anyone following reports from RS and sites new that was coming, only now we know 2 TWO exclusives will be there but not who or in what format...kinda useless update, but oh well, still got the diorama and PF Maul to place orders for.

[SideshowDusty]

super-lame, that aint news! not even the first hint.

Just so you know, I went to bat for you guys, BEGGING to be able to give a hint...but they wouldn't tell me or let me :( But I'm glad someone started a thread dedicated to it, that'll be fun to watch and drop hints in over the next few weeks and to see everyone's guesses and hypotheses!

[Seretur]

MaulFan, I so want to give you a large beer now.

[DARTHTODD]

Yeah, exactly... we got an announcement of an announcement.
:joy

Huge sideshow fan but ditto, toy fair was really lame for 1/6 SW collecting. An announcement of an announcement.......:rotfl

[PosterBoyKelly]

dusty, you're a swell gal! thanks for trying though.:chew

[Seretur]

Hi, Todd! Welcome!

I agree, it wasn't a high point of the 12" collector's life... but you guys will still get so much more this year than us polystoners, I'm betting Tom's toes on it.
