[King Darkness]

[Indiana Fett]

:chew :chew :chew :chew :chew

:rock :blissy :ccheerlea :rock2

[Darth Rage]

Awesome! And thanks for posting since I never get these emails.

[tomandshell]

Nothing here... :sick

[hairlesswookiee]

cool. i dont get these emails either... so i usually dont find out until i get charged for it.

[bluesparrow]

Noooooooo where's mine?! :maul

[swiftlikessharpthings]

So... assuming my Wait List reservation isn't activated it should be about a six-week wait. Neat.

[Agent0028]

Yippee! I wonder if it'll take everyone as long to get him as it did for Luke, and if that'll result in another zillion posts to the "We're all too impatient to wait" thread. This is gonna be fun. :lol

[galactiboy]

No email yet, but last time mine came a bit later than others. It seemed like over at the rebelscum site people who didn't have exclusives were getting notifications. At any rate nice to see some movement with Anakin :chew

[carbo-fation]

So... assuming my Wait List reservation isn't activated it should be about a six-week wait. Neat.

I am hoping my wait list will turn into an order as well. But I am not holding my breath since this is very anticipated figure. I'll be happy with a regular edition as well.

[EVILFACE]

Hmmmm got mine as well but it was different:

Dear Valued Collector,

Thank you for your pre-order of our 12" Anakin Skywalker (item #2119) from our Star Wars 12" Figure Collection. We appreciate your patience in waiting, but we are sad to say we are doing away with the 12" Star Wars line and concentrating on fruit flavored Star Wars Treats instead. Sorry.

[pjam]

We'll get our notice on the West Coast later today. Good news!

Sounds delicious! :monkey1

[The Josh]

Sweet!!! Looking forward to adding yet another Jedi to the collection.:chew

[88th division]

The force will be strong over the next couple of weeks. First GG 1/4 scale, now 1/6th scale Anakin!! I say it's about time for some new releases. Can anyone say.... MAUL, FETT, SIDIOUS, etc...etc...etc...

[The Josh]

LC did you order the regular or exclusive Anakin?

[lcummins]

LC did you order the regular or exclusive Anakin?

Both! But this email is for the regular... :monkey5

[tomandshell]

So it looks like the Regulars will be out before the Exclusives.

An alarming new trend is developing...

[Wor-Gar]

I glad this arrived..especially after they just pushed delivery in the newsletter.

Strange things afoot, Tom.

[The Josh]

Both! But this email is for the regular... :monkey5

That's what I thought when I looked at the item number and checked mine since I have the exclusive coming.

[Sith Lord 0498]

I hope not because the rest of the SW 12 inch figures I have on pre-order are the exclusive editions. I was really hoping to get mine earlier now for that very reason!!

[Sir Tristram]

Exclusive ordered....No e-mail. :emperor

[King Darkness]

Yup mine is the excl....so thats why I have not gotten my email yet...:monkey2

[Sith Lord 0498]

Again, my only Sideshow order so far has been Luke, so I may be wrong here: Isn't it customary for the exclusives to ship out before the regular editions of any Sideshow product (I know Grievous PF is an exception because of the cape)? It can't possibly be that the Sidious hologram is holding up anything???!?!?!

[tomandshell]

It can't possibly be that the Sidious hologram is holding up anything???!?!?!

I guess that Sideshow is waiting on Order 66... :emperor

[wookilar8]

I also got this e-mail for my regular Anakin. I also got the exclusive ordered but no e-mail for that one. I received my exclusive Luke one week before my regular Luke. I guess it's random which ships first.

[LordAzrael]

Got mine in Australia today ;)

[AmanaMatt]

I ordered the exclusive ---- no e-mail.

[Darth Rage]

So I guess we'll just be getting the "gummy bear Sidious" then?:lol :monkey5

[rainman]

It looks like only a few people got e-mails and they are all for the regular version. I ordered a regular version and then canceled it when my exlcusive wait list order got converted. It still shows the regular order in my account though.

I wonder if they will send out more tomorrow or if that is it. Did we all get the e-mails at the same time for Luke or did it come in waves like this? Man, I'm so impatient. I can't wait until we get the next figure. So since we are now getting Anakin in June, how many other Sideshow figures will come in June? According to Sideshow, it could be 3 or 4 but I doubt it.

[pjam]

No notice here on the Exclusive either, guess we'll have to wait for the next shipment.

I don't get it though, same figure except for the little holo.

[GSRJedi]

Oh no! First it was waiting to become one of the "others" and get a shipping notice for the Luke exclusive, now it looks like we've got to wait even longer for the Anakin exclusive 20-25 day notice.


:chew

[KitFisto]

Exclusive here - No e-mail yet.

[adrijami]

I ordered exclusive too,still no notice:monkey2

[Darth Rage]

That would be pretty disappointing if the regulars ship first.:confused:

[Darth Loki]

I guess the little blue gummy sidius is holding things up.

I get the GG cape causing a slight delay but not this.

[nash]

I ate all the blue gummy sidious exclusives. *burp*

[Agent0028]

Anakin is one of the two (I think) exclusives I got, the other being Mace. I was so happy I wouldn't have such a long wait for him. Oh well, at least the wait won't be as long as the one for Luke. Right? Wasn't the long wait for him due to the HQ move? Please say yes. ;)

[pixletwin]

ahem.... um, YES.

[The Mike]

Ordered the Exclusive, no email yet....I just want my Anakin! They can keep the Gummi Sidious!....:lol :chew

[FlyAndFight]

Nothing yet on my exclusive Anakin either...

[Sith Lord 0498]

OK...since no one else did yet, I just called Sideshow Collectibles. They said the e-mails for BOTH EDITIONS went out yesterday. I even double checked: "And that's for the exclusive edition, right?"

The rep (Kathy...Cathy??) said they're expecting to ship them withing 20-25 days, so I should be getting the e-mail soon.

Probably the regular edition e-mails went out first then the exclusives, and our e-mails are still floating in cyberspace snail mail.

But both editions will be at the end of the month.

EDIT: Hey, look at that. This is my 66th post!! Guess I should go kill a lot of Jedi...good thing Anakin's coming!!! :)

If that's what SSC CS said, it's definitely good news!

[Sith Lord 0498]

Well...I received the e-mail announcement for the VSD 501st Trooper overnight, but still no e-mail regarding my exclusive Anakin. I'd like to know how that's possible if all the notification e-mails have been sent.

Guess I'll have to call SSC again either tonight or tomorrow if I don't get anything in my e-mail.... :emperor

Sweet! For a while it would take several days for me to get the newsletter. Now I get it on Friday. I don't see how we didn't get the shipping notice if we got the 501st e-mail but who cares, as long as they tell us Anakin will be in the warehouse soon! Looks like they need to use a better mail program.

[Agent0028]

I remember back during the newsletter debacles before it was posted on the site there was talk about the problem being with the internet providers. Something about when they send out that many e-mails like that the various providers will only let so many go through at a time because they are being checked for spam. I don't doubt that is the problem with mine (I'm on AOL) it took a number of newsletters before AOL finally stopped putting them in my spam folder (even though every time I clicked "this is not spam") I'm just thankful I had it set to put spam in folder as opposed to delete all spam. Which is just a stupid option in my opinion considering how non-spam can get counted as spam.

[pixletwin]

I figure that Anakin (exclusive or otherwise) will come when he comes. Just make sure our accounts are all good and there is some green in them and all will be right with the world. :D :D :D

[RoboDad]

Maybe now I'll actually stand a chance of getting one from the waitlist... :monkey2

[rainman]

The latest newsletter has Anakin shipping in the next 30 days, but no mention of Kit Fisto and Obi-Wan which were also scheduled to ship in June. Does anyone else think that these will be delayed as well? It's not looking good.

If Obi-Wan and Kit Fisto will be coming in the next 30 days, we should get notices soon. Otherwise, these figures will ship in July. Watch and see.

[nash]

I totally wouldnt mind if Obi and Kit were offset a week or two from each other and from anakins ship date :).
