[Gazmog]

Thanks, P4e!!! :bow

Roll on pre-order day!:smokin

[pitchin4eva]

Jon!!

Ssshhhhhhhhhhh..........remember...we are not buying because it's too expensive!!! ;) ;) ;)

[Gazmog]

Oh yes, quite right...don't want everyone thinking we're foolhardy with money.

Ummm...not buying because it...is...too...expensive. There, I've made my position clear. ;) :speech :D

[Oxbeard]

Sorry guys, I have fell off the wagon.

I need to preorder now!! now I tells ya!!! :banana

[Gazmog]

Ox, I was never really on the wagon; it left without me. :lol

[pitchin4eva]

Just wish someone from Sideshow would confirm if there will be an exclusive or not, so I know if I have to stay up all night tonight or not.

Chris, Andy, Chicky...........anybody?

Please?

:rollin :rollin :rollin

[Gazmog]

Oh god, I don't think I could do an 'all nighter'. :\ :D Please make your decision soon, SS!!!!:poke

[B Electronic]

I have no idea how but I'm still grasping some kind if string from that wagon :lol But I'm beeing seriously tortured here! I really hope there wont be an exclusive, otherwise I might not be able to get this piece at all. Shipping this thing from SideShow would really kill me!

Btw guys, I dont know if you have noticed or not, but the figure does have some articulation. Both pictures feature different poses.

[ChrisfromSideshow]

Without releasing too much 'unapproved' information -- You will not need to stay up all night. As someone who feels your pain with these types of releases, I have compassion!

(PS - There may be another reason besides your belief there is not an exclusive...which I am neither confirming nor denying)

[elwood49]

I guess that means that the figure doesn't go on preorder until next week?:dunno

[Azog of Moria]

Preordering will be at a later that was established in the newsletter, or the affiliate one anyone....

[pitchin4eva]

(PS - There may be another reason besides your belief there is not an exclusive...which I am neither confirming nor denying)

eh???

:dunno :dunno :dunno

[Gazmog]

To cut through the jargon, I think there may be a caped exclusive. :D No need to confirm or deny this one, Chris. :p

[B Electronic]

Seems SideShow wanted to put this thing on Toy Fair allready according to this piece of text from an interview with Tom Gilliland:

Sideshow has the license to manufacture statues based upon all six "S.W." movies. As Gilliland says, "We're unrestricted. We just thought we'd start the quarter scale line by trying to build the key five human characters while we were busy developing things for the long term. We are working on something from 'Revenge of the Sith.' It is probably the most elaborate thing we've ever done in almost every regard. That will be out in 2005, in the back end of the year. We're trying really hard to have it ready to show at Toy Fair, but in terms of the complexity of it, that might not come to be."

[adamk]

Dear GOD!!

This has to be mine.

[Gruson]

I am POSITIVE there will be an exclusive for this piece. I hope it includes the cape.

[pitchin4eva]

just looking at the pics & the rumours of articulation, this would solve some of the shipping concerns.
Do you think you'll be able to join the arms together to make the 2 armed version?

[arabian nazgul]

yeah u can articulate the arms, look at the pictures from the star wars celebration, u can see him crossing blades, and then the blades are to his side.

[elwood49]

Guys, look at the weathering on the mask in that close up shot. It has some battle damage, and looks perfect.

And don't get me started on those eyes... AWESOME!!!! Love the Utapau base, too (I think that's where this is from?). It even has stains and stuff on the floor.

[dstephan]

I'm pretty sure there's no articulation. Anything that looks like a different pose is probably just an effect of the angle of the shot. But it is a very dynamic piece - will use up a lot of space too!

[hulkfan]

I'm pretty sure Dave is right on this one... But don't hold me to that. :)

For those that were hoping he'd be cheaper (cheaper than Vader, for instance), I think you'll understand the cost better when you see the piece in person. This piece was so much more complex, expensive, and complicated to produce in every sense. I believe there were over a hundred separate pieces that made up the prototype! Once the piece is examined more closely and you see what an engineering nightmare he is I think you'll better understand (and appreciate) the price point. The Gore Group did a phenomenal job on this guy. :rock

[Magneticzero]

I agree with you Hulkfan. This piece is amazing and will be a showcase for most people's collection.

There will always be complainers as we have seen with this piece. Who says that Sideshow has to be within a certain price range. I guess I should demand that Ferrari makes a car in my "price range".....too bad!!!

If you want a cheap version go to Toy's R Us. People shop at Sideshow because their getting a quality item.

[Mannie The Dragon]

I don't care if he costs $500! When Pre-orders go up, He's MINE!!!!:rock

Hey, speak for yourself. Who made you the Almighty to tell us what we can or can't say? I think it is only right to discuss matters about quality and price in a place like this, and I resent being labelled a complainer because I, like the others here, raised the issue of price.

You may have more money than sense, but others cannot afford the luxury of being so carefree when it comes to vast expense.

There's always one who takes the moral highground.

"If you can't afford it, then too bad." Talk about a 'them and us' mentality.

Hey Gazmog...I am the ALMIGHTY!!!

If you are, you're an arrogant "£)&.

[Magneticzero]

yup :yay

:rolleyes >:

Do you often get called an arrogant and pontificating &%$£?

[hulkfan]

C'mon guys, lets try to be nice and stay on topic... This thread had a lot of potential. :toast

[TheWitchKing]

:dunno

[Magneticzero]

Gazmog...you bore me:sleep

Just a sidenote:

Never once did I mention your name as a reference for the original point I was trying to make. Since you made it a point to "attempt" to embarass me, I will respond accordingly. I suggest you drop things where they are!!!

[TheWitchKing]

Not taking sides, I enjoy each of your posts and input in the past but lets :grouphug . Then we can all :rock as a group at Sideshow's yet again spectacular addition to the Star Wars Line.

[Gazmog]

Well, Mag...whatever you're called...the feeling's mutual.

Never once did I mention your name as a reference for the original point I was trying to make.

I didn't say you did; you made a sweeping generalisation about those who raised, quite justifiably, the issue of cost...and you ran with it. Your post was arrogant, forthright and totally inappropriate. Yes, it's true, some will be able to afford it, and some won't...but the content of the discussion did not need to be sullied by your inept use of language.

Since you made it a point to "attempt" to embarass me, I will respond accordingly.

That was not my intent: you achieved that aim all by yourself through you attempts of provocation with an arrogance that deserved the responses it received.

I suggest you drop things where they are!!!

whatever.
