5-4 PODCAST and NEWSLETTER

[Wor-Gar]

Is anyone expecting any surprise news tonight?

12" LOTR at least?

[Darth Loki]

Expecting- No, Hoping- YES!!!!!!!

[wookilar8]

I'm expecting a Star Wars PF or LOTR 12" annoucement. I don't care if they just show a foot....at least I know something new is on it's way.:rolleyes:

[The Josh]

I'm hoping more than expecting. I expect something to come more middle of the month.

[King Darkness]

Expecting- No, Hoping- YES!!!!!!!

I'am in the same boat...I NEED a 12"LOtR like a crackhead needs a hit!!

[Customikey]

I suspect there will be very little to get excited about.

[SolidLiquidFox]

probably more Electric Tiki but that'll be it. :monkey3

[Darth Loki]

I suspect there will be very little to get excited about.

I have a feeling this is true. Most likely talking about SDCC news and stuff that is shipping.

[Darth Madden]

I suspect there will be very little to get excited about.

I agree. It will be a slow one today.

[Customikey]

Although.....we might get a certain 30 Day shipping announcement! :monkey1

[Sabertrooper]

Crossing my fingers for a certain 30 day announcement too!:vader

[Seaward]

I don't expect much, given all of the SDCC brouhaha, but I would be glad to see a 30 day shipping notice, and maybe a peek at the exclusive Freddy. Would love to see a little preview of some more LOTR goodness though

[tomandshell]

It'll be an exciting newsletter for whoever wins that Newborn Uruk statue...

[Wor-Gar]

A little Terminator news would be good too... Sarah Connor?

Fingers crossed for something, anything new that we can talk about.

[King Darkness]

I don't expect much, given all of the SDCC brouhaha, but I would be glad to see a 30 day shipping notice, and maybe a peek at the exclusive Freddy. Would love to see a little preview of some more LOTR goodness though

I would be very happy with a sneak peak at Freddy, I think they will have that next week...

[EVILFACE]

Hope for a little info on the dead and freddy!!!!!!!!!!

[Gran3131]

Hoping for any Star Wars news.

[Seaward]

Now that you mention it, is has been a month since we got the sneak peek of Darth Maul's legs and all. 'Bout time for a pre-order!:maul :rotfl

[Darth Loki]

Good luck with that.

[Wor-Gar]

Newsletter up!

[Customikey]

Newsletter up!


And it's a Big Fat Bleh.

[The Mike]

SST Newsletter:
We would like to announce changes in the anticipated shipping dates of the items below.
Star Wars: Anakin Skywalker 12 inch figure - #2119 & Ex. #21191 Now Late May/Early June 2006


:censored This figure is never gonna come. Still no 30 Day notice...

[Indiana Fett]

Nothing major...just:

Star Wars: Anakin Skywalker 12 inch figure - #2119 & Ex. #21191 Now Late May/Early June 2006

They did say the same about Luke's expected arrival (Late March/Early April) and he arrived Late March...Let's keep our fingers crossed for Anakin Late May...

No Darth Maul announcement, SW PF, or 12" LOTR this week...maybe something in the podcast?

:monkey2

[Sith Lord 0498]

Oh we got a shipping announcement for Anakin alright...

Changed to Late May/Early June!!

Oh the agonizing wait continues!!!! At this pace, I'll get Anakin a week before Vader!! :google

[Wor-Gar]

This has to be the worst newsletter ever!

Not even a coupon.

[The Mike]

I'm wondering if this is going to effect the rest of the figures, Kit Fisto and Obi-Wan Kenobi were supposed to be shipping in June, I have a feeling that we won't be getting Obi until July....

[Darth Loki]

Yeah, that was a big Yawn.

[The Josh]

Yup, kind of sucks Anakin has gotten another push back but ah well. Allows me some more cushin between Getting Aragorn and Grievous soon.

[Darth Loki]

I just want Maul to ship already.
:maul :maul :maul

[Vader AL]

another blah newsletter. i think i'll start waiting for them to hit my email on fridays.

[Migwit]

Gee, while it isn't a "specific" figure announcement, I thought this was pretty exciting in the newsletter:

http://www.sideshowtoy.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=sithlords

Ah, well, there's always next week! :chew

[SolidLiquidFox]

Ah, well, there's always next week! :chew

You are a glass half full kinda guy. Good for you. :D

[Migwit]

:rotfl

It's "laugh or cry", basically.

It'll all happen, all in good time! (And I'm a 'glass-is-half-full-kinda-GAL!) :D

[pixletwin]

Well at least today I got news that my Luke is coming tomorrow! I think I must be about the last person in North America to get theirs... (j/k).

We will see a great newsletter again next week ... maybe.... I hope.

[Wor-Gar]

Isn't there supposed to be a podcast today? Its 7:20pm. They always post around 7:00pm...

What's up with today?

[tomandshell]

Last podcast went up the day after the newsletter, on a Friday. Looks like the same will happen this week--they said it will be available on Friday the 5th. Naturally, when they go and push it to Friday I forget to listen to it and miss out on a podcast-only contest... :monkey2

[Wor-Gar]

Jeez, man, I used to really look forward to Thursdays.

They push Anakin, they push the podcast... what happened to must-hear Thursdays?

I hope this isn't the way its gonna be...podcasts on Fridays.

[DarkArtist81]

Jeez, man, I used to really look forward to Thursdays.

They push Anakin, they push the podcast... what happened to must-hear Thursdays?

I hope this isn't the way its gonna be...podcasts on Fridays.

Me too....I always have too much going on Fridays... Don't usually have time to stop and listen to the podcast... I barely have time to enter in the Friday Film and Food Contest!

I like my Podcasts on Thursday!!

[gambit]

yeah, the worst ever

I will be leaving for vacation 2 weeks later and if grievious exclusive will not be shipped in 2 weeks (which looks like impossible so far) I will be in a great sadness :monkey2

actually it will be shipped to my home adress which I will be there untill 5th June. Pls sideshow sent it before end of may

[The Mike]

I have an interesting line of thought. Let's assume that all the figures in the Star Wars collection are being delayed on the same schedule....if Anakin ships in Late May/Early June, then let's assume the rest follow suit in a "one figure a month" kind of thing omitting the SDCC Vader obviously from that rule. That means:

Anakin Skywalker - Late May/Early June
Obi-Wan Kenobi - Late June/Early July
Kit Fisto - Late July/Early August
Han Solo - Late August/Early September
Mace Windu - Late September/Early October
Qui-Gon Jinn - Late October/Early November

That would indicate that the next figure offering would be the last for the official "2006 Collection"....shipping in Late November/Early December but widespread shipping in the month of December

If that is the case and let's just place Maul in there because he's the frontrunner that means the 2006 collection would be:

01. Jedi Luke Skywalker
02. Anakin Skywalker
03. Obi-Wan Kenobi
04. Kit Fisto
05. Han Solo
06. Sith Apprentice Darth Vader
07. Mace Windu
08. Qui-Gon Jinn
09. Darth Maul

Seems a little short but unless they really hit us with two a month that's the way its shaping up. Also, they said nothing with "Trooper" until 2007. That means that Summer PreOrders might be for the first round of '07 figures so we could see in theory, an SST Trooper of some kind PreOrdered by the end of the year....

:monkey2

problem is we already had a order processing soon for luke by this time as well as a he will be in the wharehouse in 20-25 days when they were saying luke was shipping late march early april. so since we have none of those I will be very surpprised to see anakin ship before early june. :monkey2

[LOTRFan]

It'll be an exciting newsletter for whoever wins that Newborn Uruk statue...

That was actually pretty much all I was looking forward to (I wasn't expecting any announcement) --- alas it was not to be. :monkey2

[Sir Tristram]

....Just....want....Greivous!

[Deak Starkiller]

My thoughts on the newsletter...

"Negative, negative...just impacted on the surface."

http://badger.cx/coppermine/albums/userpics/thumb_redleaderfront.jpg

[NASEDO]

I'm happy theres nothing to order this week. We just got 12 inch luke and PF Obi. GG, Leia and the Maul Bust are coming. And the Hulk/Spidey is due in July. We got the SDCC stuff which will ship in JUly.

Thank you Sideshow for being kind and letting me catch up on my Credit Card. Take all the time you need.

[tomandshell]

What about General Greivous? I thought he was shipping in a couple of weeks? he is not listed on the shipping in the next 30 days section.....? :confused:

Don't worry! He's there...

COMING IN NEXT 30 Days:

Marvel: Juggernaut Maquette - #7172
Star Wars: General Grievous Premium Format figure - #7126 & Ex. #71261
Hot Toys: HALO Rambo 12-inch figure - #6315
Hot Toys: Scar Predator 14-inch model kit - #6313
Hot Toys: Celtic Predator 14-inch model kit - #6314


And Nasedo--Hulk VS. Spidey is still scheduled for June, not July, so budget accordingly...

[SolidLiquidFox]

I think he is adding the mandatory SS delay month Tom... :rolleyes:

[JustinLuck]

For those of us who only order SW 12-inch, maybe you can understand why we are wanting more. :D

[tomandshell]

How about the PF fans? The 12" crowd has had seven figures since our last PF order. :monkey2 :monkey4 :monkey2 :monkey4 :monkey2

[The Josh]

Yup, a new SW PF is needed for sure. I expect we will have one soon.

[Wor-Gar]

[Vader voice] And where...is the podcast?

[Wor-Gar]

And its up.

And Mat Falls is working on a figure "from the Dark Side".

[SolidLiquidFox]

I refuse to get excited until we see an official newsletter announcement...all the waiting has made me cautious to get my hopes up :rolleyes:

[lcummins]

The Aragorn at the Black Gate contest winner was supposed to be announced in this week's podcast; did I just miss it or was it not in there? :confused:

[SideshowDusty]

The Aragorn at the Black Gate contest winner was supposed to be announced in this week's podcast; did I just miss it or was it not in there? :confused:

It's announced in a quick blurb in the LOTR section, at the end when she's talking about Aragorn at the Black Gates :duff

I figured I just missed it! Thanks Dusty!! :chew

[Darth Loki]

And its up.

I'm going to guess the Emperor. Didn't they say something about the Senate right before they said that?

I wonder which version of him though?????????
:emperor :emperor :emperor :emperor :emperor

[Wor-Gar]

I'm assuming it is indeed the Maul they've been teasing us with for so long now.

[Wor-Gar]

I'm assuming it is indeed the Maul they've been teasing us with for so long now.

But I'll take any villain they offer.

[The Josh]

I think its Maul as well but I have a feeling the next figure will be from the HOR line.

[SolidLiquidFox]

:emperor :emperor :emperor :emperor :emperor

Matt is kind of Partial to the original trilogy so it would be cool if it turned out to be a PF Emperor in a throne like the PF Doom.

[The Mike]

A lot of people are dying for an ROTS Sidious but if they came out with the Emperor Palpatine from ROTJ, I wouldn't be surprised, it would go well with Luke Skywalker already released and just missing ROTJ Vader to make an amazing scene!

[TheObsoleteMan]

I think its Maul as well but I have a feeling the next figure will be from the HOR line.

I sure wouldn't mind seeing Lando next.

[LordAzrael]

As much as I'd rather something else - Padme Snow Bunny is being worked on based on the production blog so its got to be good odds to be the next release unless they hit technical problems (which I really can't see happening for that figure).

[pixletwin]

I sure wouldn't mind seeing Lando next.

Bespin Lando would be awesome. I think we have had enough representation from the PT for now. Lets see some OT action... Can I get an AMEN!!!!

http://distritos.telepolis.com/starwars/doc/ima/LandoBespinLobot.gif

[SolidLiquidFox]

Amen for that P-I-M-P!!! :D

[Darklord Dave]

Actually they said they just started on Snow bunny Padme. It takes at LEAST nine months from start to release, so I doubt Padme will be offered for sale any time soon. I'm sure there's at least 6 or so characters before we see her.

[Darth Loki]

My guess is still a 12" ROTS Palpatine or Sidius. Write that down!

[Deak Starkiller]

Bespin Lando is needed badly.
