Luke & Yoda For Order with Exclusive

[The Josh]

Vader Helm is the exclusive (http://gt.sideshowtoy.com/cgi-bin/gt/nl_template_prev_html.html,user=bf12c2eb06fb&control_id=67284&nl_template=2)

[elwood49]

This piece looks great!

The exclusive is ultra lame, IMO. In fact, it's my least favorite of the 7 announced so far. Regular all the way for me.

[pixletwin]

I thought the exclusive was great. It almost made me order it... almost...:D

[The Josh]

I actually like the helm. I ordered it.

[tomandshell]

Got him for free! I've been saving my Flash Fiction gift certificate for the next SW PF, and I redeemed it at last! :chew

[Wor-Gar]

It really is a beautiful piece in these new photos.

[elwood49]

I thought the exclusive was great.

1. It's out of place in the scene.

2. It suffers the same fate as the Mouse Droid and Training Remote- it adds clutter to the display in the same way that mini-busts do. I think I'm going to sell my Obi-Wan and Vader Exclusives and pick up the regular versions. It looks more sleek and aesthetically pleasing that way.

3. The Exclusive is much more expensive than ordering the regular version.

4. By the time this comes out I'll have 2 Lukes and 1 Vader. Do I really need another head combining the 2?

[Darth Rage]

You are a lucky man tomandshell. That "rocks the house." :lol

This piece looks awesome. I love the exclusive. Another case of not using the best preview pic in the world. I am going to seriously have to mull this one over. I really want it though.

[Gruson]

New photos are great and I do like the exclusive (always loved that part)

It is out of place though.

Order in but I may just get it from a retailer a lot cheaper...

[Darth Madden]

Got him for free! I've been saving my Flash Fiction gift certificate for the next SW PF, and I redeemed it at last! :chew


he he he... smart man. :D

[Agent23]

$350 ? WOW, high price tag. I think it looks pretty decent. I like the exclusive...even thou I dont remember it....lol...

But, PASS for me.

[Darth Loki]

Got him for free! I've been saving my Flash Fiction gift certificate for the next SW PF, and I redeemed it at last! :chew

Congrats Tom. And well deserved. Another order but I couldn't be happier.

[tomandshell]

meticulously finished, including considered details such as hair strands cast in flexible metal, designed to add realism to his sweaty hair while simultaneously preventing breakage.

Interesting...

[TheObsoleteMan]

I love this piece and the exclusive, but the $350 price tag and 3rd qtr. release date make this a regrettable pass for me. :monkey2

[tomandshell]

I am starting to understand Dusty's enthusiasm...

http://www.sideshowtoy.com/mas_assets/jpg/71481_press01-001.jpg

Seeing pictures of the entire piece makes me a lot more excited about this one! I am even starting to forgive them for making me wait for Boba Fett!

[pitchin]

Interesting...


That'll be the front parts of the hair in this pic

http://www.sideshowtoy.com/mas_assets/jpg/7148_press05-001.jpg

[Gruson]

Actually, the more I look at it, the more I like it displayed without Vader's head.

It's distracting, just like the mouse droid and training remote.

My opinion of course. I think Elwood agrees though. :)

Hmm..tough call on how I will display it. I am thinking like this though:

http://www.sideshowtoy.com/mas_assets/jpg/7148_press01-001.jpg

[The Josh]

Looks really good. I'm much more excited about this than I was last week. :chew

[Darth Rage]

Is this only available on flex pay? It's definately a flex pay candidate, but aren't there fees if you cancel with flexpay?

[oxbeard]

I actually liked the exclusive as well. Think it is much better than the Vader and Obi-Wan exclusives. Will likely display it separately though. I'm just stoked to actually be getting Yoda in PF. Even though I would have prefered a pose without him in the basket :D

[tomandshell]

I like what they did with the metal hair. It needs to look dishevelled, and this way it will be less likely to break. It gives it a much more three dimensional feel.

Now if they could just add 3D eyelashes...

[ichabod]

Great piece! Another bite out of the wallet...

And I like the exclusive helmet geegaw. Why Gentle Giant never did a mini bust like that is beyond me...

[oxbeard]

Is this only available on flex pay? It's definately a flex pay candidate, but aren't there fees if you cancel with flexpay?

Both options are available, and yes there are fees for cancelling flexpay.

[The Josh]

Is this only available on flex pay? It's definately a flex pay candidate, but aren't there fees if you cancel with flexpay?

It's only flex pay if you click where it says flex pay click here.

[pitchin]

dude....I'm clicking there & no window is popping up directing me to SS :D :rotfl

[tomandshell]

It's working for me when I click... :confused:

You can always try emptying your cache and rebooting your computer.

[pitchin]

i was joking.....Josh typed "click here" :rolleyes:

[Darth Loki]

This looks great. I love all the pictures! The exclusive doesn't fit perfectly with the scene but it was such a large part of his training and that's always stuck with me, must have.

[Darth Rage]

It's only flex pay if you click where it says flex pay click here.

Oh I see now. Guess I got confused there a sec. :o Thanks!

Please don't mock me, it's getting late in New York.:lol

I think he meant he was clicking on Josh's post. :lol


Edit -----

Doohhhhh!! okay how many of us can post a response at the same time? LOL

[Darth Rage]

Exactly. Filmwise it is out of place. It looks good with the statue though, it definately fits in. It's almost as if Luke is questioning Yoda about it.

Plus, you could always get a Vader PF and cut the head off and display that with Luke and Yoda. That would be cool.:lol

[tomandshell]

i was joking.....Josh typed "click here" :rolleyes:

OK, so I'm a little slow...

:rotfl

[The Josh]

LOL guys sorry should have worded that differently :)

[Darth Rage]

Damn I caved....no pun intended....order in.

[Batty]

I ordered it. Even if the helmet doesn't fit with the scene, I like it on it's own.

[The Josh]

I ordered it. Even if the helmet doesn't fit with the scene, I like it on it's own.

That's how I feel. I'll display it on its own.

[Mini-Rock]

Damn I caved....no pun intended....order in.

:rotfl That was good. :D My order has been placed also. Josh, I agree. I'm even more excited about this piece now than I was when it was first announced. Everything looks amazing. :monkey5

[Bullseye]

Great looking piece. I love it.:D

[tomandshell]

I watched ESB after this was revealed last week. Luke is running around with Yoda in his backpack, and they arrive at the cave. He sets Yoda down, puts on his coat, and goes inside. The backpack and severed head are seconds apart in the movie, so I think it works OK. It's the same scene.

[Batty]

I just realized this is the second Luke with bad posture! Didn't Aunt Beru ever tell him to stand up straight?

[gambit]

Order in
Although I wasn't happy with the announcement I like the piece of tree, and it is a diaroma which I like the most.

Exclusive is not necessary I totally agree but if I order the regular from another seller in USA, then the shipment will be so high to Turkey which almost covers the price difference, because SS ships from EU warehouse and they have a very nice contract with FEDEX that I pay less than the usual price. (like 100 $ :rotfl )

[tomandshell]

Cool, Gambit! Glad that there is something nice and helpful for all the EU customers.

[NASEDO]

Not too excited since I already have a PF Luke that I paid $250.00. But is does look great. Very Happy with the piece, but sad that I already have a PF Luke. I will never understand why SS made another Luke so fast in the line. Hopefully the reason is there are alot of figures coming in the next few years were doubles will be welcomed.

[LOTRFan]

I ordered it, but will likely not keep the exclusive, I am not sure I want the head at Luke's feet. For me at least, it combines two seperate elements of the film - aside from being just somewhat gross (I have some little ones in the house), we'll see. :confused:

[DarkArtist81]

LOL....me too Tom! I just watched this last week, (my fiance had never seen any of the Star Wars movies, believe it or not.... and we were going through them in order... just so happened that the PF was announced the day before I was watching Episode V with her..)

It's not too far away in the film and it works IMO, and even though it's not 100% screen accurate for the movie, I will display them together..

I have my order in!! :chew

[darthviper107]

Oh, it looks awesome. And of course, I don't have any money for it. Maybe later. How long do you think it will last?

[Agent0028]

Fine fine fine! Ya'll twisted my arm, and talked me into it...coerced me too. I'm ordering it. I wonder if this'll be the new trend, less time between the order date and when it gets shipped. Wasn't there a poll or something about a similar topic once before? I gotta say its nice not having too long of a wait, but its gonna make it harder to save for. My bet is it will be September, and with the way things keep getting pushed back maybe October...

[carbo-fation]

Order is in!! Not very happy with the exclusive but sure as heck beats that of OBi or Darth. The figure itself looks awesome. Bring on Maul and Fett. :chew :chew

[Agent0028]

Oh, it looks awesome. And of course, I don't have any money for it. Maybe later. How long do you think it will last?
Even if its sold out when you do have the money get on the waitlist. I don't know when PF Leia sold out, but I got on the waitlist March 20, and she was turned into an order pretty quickly.

BTW, I just went to order and clicked to see the flexpay schedule and the third payment is in October...do flexpayers get theirs later? Is the Q3 an error?

[tomandshell]

Seems like Sideshow isn't expecting this to be super-hot, with the two piece limit, the TBD edition size, and the non-priority preorder sale.

I'm glad I got my order in! Now maybe if a bunch of the fence-sitters lay off, the TBD will turn into a nice low run for the exclusive...

[carbo-fation]

NIce wording!! But I am hoping for the same thing. I hope the Exclusive edition will be 250 like for Han.

[Gruff Old Bear]

My order's in. Beautiful piece. Mat Falls strikes again.

:chew

[Deak Starkiller]

I have no PF figs, but this is tempting. Real tempting.

[pjam]

One can only hope. My guess is they'll run this out for weeks and if that's the case maybe a month or longer. If the final ES is 1500 or more I'm cancelling b/c it may be cheaper to find on evilbay believe it or not. Don't think there is much of a chance they'll cut this off before an ES of 1250 unfortunately. 500 would have been sweet.

I really don't like these open-ended ES Exclusives, they are doing it more and more but I understand why in this case, after all it is Luke and Yoda.

[lakeshouse]

I ordered it. Even if the helmet doesn't fit with the scene, I like it on it's own.

The Exclusive head might not fit the scene with Yoda on Luke's back.
But, since it's Premium Figure, we should be able to take
Yoda off from Luke's back. :chew

[tomandshell]

They may be a little unsure of what to expect, since this is the first new Premium Format figure in the Star Wars line since they began selling the 12" figures six months ago. A lot has changed since then! The 12" line has really brought a whole bunch of new people into the equation who weren't familiar with the company before. Their loyal fan base has expanded, and that might impact the edition sizes of future Star Wars items.

We'll see how many of these new 12" customers will be interested in preordering a real figure for a change! :D (Joke!!! Trust me!)



And the severed head will be the coolest Star Wars paperweight ever!

[Batty]

We'll see how many of these new 12" customers will be interested in preordering a real figure for a change! :D (Joke!!! Trust me!)

You may be joking, but I've become a convert. Even though I've been a Sideshow collector for years, I only recently started collecting PFs. Once I had Vader there was no question about me getting them all.

I am not buying statues for selling. So, even if get very valuable, I will not sell those. However, I also do not want something I paid 350 $ + 100 $ shipment to lost its value in time such as regulas Han PF or Luke PF.

If SS will keep the ES of Exclusives low, than this would be beneficial to both parties. Because as in GG vader ROTS and Yoda mini busts, if the price of a product falls so much in the market, population of the company also falls accordingly

[Darklord Dave]

So no one's raised the question yet - can Yoda come out and play? I was frustrated with the LotR weapon sets because you couldn't take them off the plaque - I wonder if Yoda will be permanently affixed to his backpack?

It's not about selling...

If you live in CA and have to pay taxes on a high priced item as I do and did with Grievous, it makes a big difference, especially if you buy a whole lot of stuff from SSC, as I do, so Edition Size makes a difference at some point.

It's funny, every time I talk to a SSC CS Rep and they look at my account they gasp and say something like "Boy, you have quite a lot of orders"

Probably well over 20 as we speak!

Yes, I am a certifiable Sideshow FREAK!!!

[tomandshell]

It's funny, every time I talk to a SSC CS Rep and they look at my account they gasp and say something like "Boy, you have quite a lot of orders"

There was one time that I called an order in during a priority preorder that wasn't cooperating, and when I gave her my name, she said she remembered me. That was without looking at my orders, just hearing my name.

That's when I knew I had a problem... :D

[TOE]

This is first. You can buy 2 Exclusive figure!!! The Edition size must be large. It looks awesome but it doesn't appeal to me at all. I don't remember Yoda being on Luke' s back when he fought Vader, correct?? I don't know, the helmet seems out of placed, IMO. THe levitating rocks would have been better.

[bcm77]

Overall it's a great piece but like the previous PF Luke I don't think the likeness is very good. Yoda looks fantastic though. The Exclusive is pretty decent and IMO looks more like Mark Hamill than the main figure.

pal, it seems that you have no idea what I pay,

I am from Turkey, I first pay at least 100 $ to FEDEX for shipment plus pay 18 % tax, like 5 % for custom declaration over the combined price of the package + spend time at customs.

So basically, for a statue of 350 $, (if the package gets stuck at customs) the statue comes to a total of 550 $.

I just start collecting 9 months ago and I have over 15 orders pending from SS including expensive PF's and if I would be living in CA, I would be ordering whatever SS produces, regardless of the 8 % tax you are paying there Only the shipment price difference between you and me is like 75 $. :emperor

[hairlesswookiee]

when did this go up for order??? i spend ONE day away from the site and this happens.... oh well i still got my order in for the exclusive. this will be the first PF pre-order that i plan on sticking with.

Damn dude!!!! $100 is a crazy shipment price. SS should workout a deal with Fedex for international buyers because theat is crazy amount. :google

[lakeshouse]

I live in Canda and same here... If I were to buy this from Sideshow,
I'd have to pay, ($350 + 14% tax + 14% Broker's fee) + shipping.
Which would be close to $600 :banghead

[DarkArtist81]

[dregs]

Hey guys, are premium figure pre orders like the 12 inch pre orders, your credit card doesn't get charged until it's about to ship?

[PsychoCenobite]

I'm trying hard not to order! I love it but I have to stick to just bad guys - Fett, Maul, etc. :emperor

Very nice if you can afford him and have space... which I don't! :monkey2

PsychoCenobite :chew

[oxbeard]

So no one's raised the question yet - can Yoda come out and play? I was frustrated with the LotR weapon sets because you couldn't take them off the plaque - I wonder if Yoda will be permanently affixed to his backpack?

Hadn't really thought about that possibility. Just figured he wasn't even fully sculpted or finished since only the upper portion of his body is exposed. That would be sweet if he were to be removable.

[Darth Loki]

Hey guys, are premium figure pre orders like the 12 inch pre orders, your credit card doesn't get charged until it's about to ship?

That's correct. Nothing gets charged until it's about to ship. That's why I pre-order everything then make up my mind later.

[Darth Loki]

Hadn't really thought about that possibility. Just figured he wasn't even fully sculpted or finished since only the upper portion of his body is exposed. That would be sweet if he were to be removable.


I was always under the assumption that it was one piece. Yoda's not finished or removable. I don't know why he would be.

[BDboystoys]

i love this piece! I cant believe its coming in the the 3rd Qrtr this year! Theres usually a long wait.

[Darth Loki]

No kidding, 3rd Qtr is only 6 weeks away! That was a question I posed earlier, longer delay for the announcement but shorter time to ship.

[Darth Rage]

I was always under the assumption that it was one piece. Yoda's not finished or removable. I don't know why he would be.

I would have expected to see pictures of Yoda out of the backpack when the pre-order went up. I think this would be a huge selling point if he could stand on his own. But it will be a truly nice surprise if he is free standing.

[KitFisto]

I love it. I ordered it. Sweet.

[Darth Loki]

I know it says 3rd Qtr but I expect this to ship in mid to late October, which I can't complain too much about considering the wait for most of the PF's.

[Zoomaround]

My order is in. I loved the scene when I first saw it in the 70's. The exclusive doesn't fit the scene but it's still a nice exclusive. Perhaps I'll rotate this with the droid next to Vader.

[pjam]

pal, it seems that you have no idea what I pay,

My point is: It's not about selling, it's about buying so Edition Size plays a factor at some point fro me, that's all. I really respect overseas collector's like you b/c you guys pay much more for the love of collecting!

[Agent0028]

Hey guys, are premium figure pre orders like the 12 inch pre orders, your credit card doesn't get charged until it's about to ship?
Unless it is a flexpay purchase when you get small increments charged over three months and there will be cancellation fees.

[Darklord Dave]

I don't expect Yoda to be removeable, just the opposite, but thought I'd raise the question.

I'd also like to see pics of the Luke sculpt from different angles, I think if you look down on it so he's facing you, the true greatness of this likeness would come through better.

[Agent0028]

You may be joking, but I've become a convert. Even though I've been a Sideshow collector for years, I only recently started collecting PFs. Once I had Vader there was no question about me getting them all.
Convert here too, I love PF's alot more than 12", so much so I've thought about cancelling the 12" I have on order. The one thing that keeps me going with 12" is that I can put them around here and there, with PF ya really gotta make a spot for it.

[NASEDO]

Edition size will make or break this piece. It should be interesting. Because if the edition size is high I'm canceling and going to ebay, and there will be alot of cancelations. Sideshow is in a tough spot.

It would be great to see Yoda come off, but if this piece has a high edition, I'll buy 2 so I can saw off Yoda on 1 of the figures.

[Jesseawilson]

They will make the edition size high, I can feel it.


Jesse :rolleyes:

[Glitch]

Order placed! Damn, did this order date just come out of nowhere?

Anyway...

I dig the piece. The only thing I hope they change are Luke's eyes. I feel as though it looks like he's straining his eyes trying to look back that far. If you watch the film, you'll see that he usually has his eyes centered as though he was thinking about what Yoda is telling him.

If not, I'll likely just change them myself, but it would be nice if I didn't have to.

It's all good!

:)

[TOE]

Jesse :rolleyes:

I feel it too. I mean you can order 2 Exclusive figure.

[Batty]

I think you're right about this. The more I look at this piece, the more I like it. And I liked it a lot right from the beginning! The amount of detail in the helmet and tree base is impressive on their own. Another great job by Mat Falls.

[Darth Loki]

I'm not going to say that I love the likeness of Luke but it is better than the first piece. It's no where near as good as Obi's (that's going to be hard to beat). However Yoda is spot on and this one of my favorite moments in the whole SW history. The helmet looks great too.

[tomandshell]

With the third quarter release date, it's obviously pretty far along in the production process. So I wonder why they didn't reveal it at Toy Fair this year?

I still think that Boba Fett was meant to be next but was delayed and Luke/Yoda gut bumped up a spot. Maybe we will be seeing a Fett announcement at SDCC. Then Maul and the droids won't be far behind!

[Alice Adrenochrome]

It's the third PF Luke SSC made, but what's more important is that it's the first Yoda. I wonder if SSC will ever make an other PF yoda? I like the exclusive, and boy would it be cool if it where detachable from the base. It makes such a great "rear-view-mirror-hanger"...

Go try to cancel your order and see what it says.......



Jesse

[JohnyBoo]

I have the first PF Luke and I think his likeness is amazing, more so than this one. ( I know, I am a minority here). But the overall Luke and Yoda is fantastic. As much as I have on preorder, I would rather not have loved this one. The detail is amazing. But I am a Luke fan big time so I am probably prejudiced.

[Alice Adrenochrome]

Fett? Who's that Fett character you're always talking about? :rolleyes:

[Darth Rage]

Fett? Who's that Fett character you're always talking about? :rolleyes:

Surely he means Jango Fett!:rotfl :rotfl :rotfl :monkey1

Am I missing something? There's the ANH and this one. This is only the 7th PF.
They do of course have the 12" Luke but that's an entirely different line.

[Darth Loki]

Fett? Who's that Fett character you're always talking about? :rolleyes:

Some crappy bounty hunter that got taken out by a blind man on ROTJ.

[Darth Caedus]

yea, it made us click the thing to accept cancellation charges, what was that about.

[Alice Adrenochrome]

I counted last years Comic-Con Exclusive as a complete new version of Luke.

[Agent0028]

If Fett was supposed to be next (which is my personal belief, wrong as it may be) and he's been delayed to to some sort of production difficulties or whatnot...does that mean he'll likely have a very quick release date too?

yea, it made us click the thing to accept cancellation charges, what was that about.


It doesn't even give me the opurtunity to cancel it, just says "Contact to Cancel".

You guys think 1150 is a good Ex edition size? I just noticed it was set.

[The Josh]

You guys think 1150 is a good Ex edition size? I just noticed it was set.

Yeah, that's really tiny actually.

[Batty]

Kind of surprising considering there was a limit of 2 per customer. I see more people jumping on this now.

[tomandshell]

Vader was 2000, Grievous was 1500, Obi-Wan was 1250, and Leia was 1000. I was expecting this downward trend to continue and see Luke at under 1000. In fact, considering that this is a repeat character, I am actually surprised that it is so high. I think that anything between 500 and 750 would have been just right. In the end, 1150 is OK, though. I'm glad I got mine!

[LOTRFan]

I am pleasantly surprised (esp given the 2 piece order), I just want these to maintain their value - this should do so.

[tomandshell]

When they make a Slave Leia PF, do you think that she will be a "2 piece order" as well? :rotfl







Get it? :rotfl









Because she's wearing a bikini. :rotfl









Which is a two-piece bathing suit. :rotfl









And so if they set a "two piece" limit on a figure that is wearing a "two piece" costume, that would be ironic. :rotfl






Am I making any sense? :confused:





Oh, nevermind...

By the way, I just got really freaked out when I clicked on the Luke & Yoda banner at the top of the page, since it took me to the "product not found" page that you get when something sells out! But I checked my bookmarked page and it's still there.

[Darth Loki]

This is the first PF that I've been around for the announcement of so please excuse me if this is a stupid question, is this selling out fast? The Frodo is the only other PF that I've cared about and that took forever to sell out at only 1000 pieces total. This is sure to have at least another 2000-2500 non-exclusives.

[tomandshell]

Looks like he will be all but gone in only one week. I think that's pretty good, actually. Can't remember how long Leia took to sell out at 1000, but one week is pretty good for Luke & Yoda. I think that the increase in interest in the sixth months since the last SW PF is balancing out with the fact that this is a repeat character, but he is still selling pretty quick.

[The Josh]

Yeah, for a repeat character he isn't doing too bad.

[SolidLiquidFox]

I wonder how many people are using the ability to purchase 2 in hopes of turning a profit...

[Darth Loki]

I wonder how many people are using the ability to purchase 2 in hopes of turning a profit...

Good point.

[The Josh]

I wonder how many people are using the ability to purchase 2 in hopes of turning a profit...

Not I. 1 was enough for me.

[Agent0028]

Buying two to make a profit is a good idea, and I've thought about doing it with some other items, but I would feel like I'm cheating other collectors.

[Darth Loki]

Not for me. I've thought about it with the Exclusive X-Men vs Sentinel, and wish I had with that but I have enough to worry about besides trying to flip some product as well.

[The Josh]

Flipping isn't worth it in the long run. Besides I'd rather let another collector get a chance at retail.

[pjam]

Edition size of 1150 seems right on, once they're gone the Helmet Exclusive will be a must get I believe. Also Tom, I recall Leia Exclusive selling out in about a week to 10 days without too much fanfare.

I think the Leia Exclusive will turn out to be an amazing Collectible as more realize this is her Iconic OT Promo pose with the blaster. And once she is displayed, Collectors who didn't get her will want her even more.

[Alice Adrenochrome]

Yes, I doubt that flipping is a good idea. It only works for certain items I belive. A 12" figure costs me about $90, including shipping and taxes. How am I going to make profit from flipping one then? No, it takes a gray hulk or some of the more limited Weta things to make some cash I belive. But, could you really part with your most valuable collectives?? I know I could not, unless I had too for financial reasons.

[Agent0028]

I always say the only time I'm getting rid of any of my collectibles is for a life saving surgery. And maybe to make room for newer (nicer, better) ones.

The Leia exclusive is really the only one so far that was an absolute must have for me. Grievous and Luke/Yoda come in second, and I split the difference on them, reg for Grievous exclusive for Luke. Han I didn't want the exclusive one, I didn't like the base.

[Alice Adrenochrome]

... I recall Leia Exclusive selling out in about a week to 10 days without too much fanfare.

I hope you are right! I'm having second thoughts on the OT Leia. Like I said in an other thread, I love the pose, the portrait, but... overall, it's just a white dress. I can't wait for the first pictures to be posted, so I can clear my doubt!

[Darth Loki]

Room is a starting to become a major factor for PF's for me. I don't even want to think about when the LOTR line starts shipping. I'm trying to be very selective for my SW PF's, because I plan on getting all the LOTR PF's. What have I gotten myself into?

[Agent0028]

I feel your pain Loki! I have rearranged my room twice to make room for PF's. At first I only had room for three Uni's and Luke on my nightstand, so I put the dresser in the closet and bought a bookcase giving me room for the three Uni's, Luke, Han, Leia, and Ben. Then I got rid of these big 3D skyskraper puzzles I had so I could get Vader, and GG, and order Luke/Yoda. I've got Spidey on the way and there are more SW that will come out that I want (Dooku, Maul, SE Anakin, Boba and Jango) and I know I don't want to stop there so I have to figure out a way to fit my vanity in my closet and put in more bookshelves. :rotfl

I think the edition is too high, going to cancel. It will be cheaper on ebay. I'm actually surprised that the exclusive edtion was that high. It is a great statue, better than the other Luke, but the price is too high with that edition size. Just seeing how low the 1st PF Luke is selling it would be nice to finally pay a low price for a nice statue.

I am not going to cancel mine, however, I do agree that the edition size is too high. SS should have gone with the Han route and kept the edition size between 250-400.

[tomandshell]

I'm not sure that the exclusive will be cheaper on eBay since retailers can't buy it. The only people selling the exclusive on eBay will be people who paid full price and they probably won't want to sell it at a loss.

So, at 1150, is this a fast sell-thru or not?

Yes, I'd say it is at $350, Leia took about the same amount of time @ $275 Es 1000, Vader sold out in about 10 days @ $350 as I recall with an ES of 2000.

Edit: When SSC set the Edition size @ 1150 without warning yesterday, it took off fast, smart on their part.

I was hoping they would have included Yoda whiskers though, would have been so cool and easy to do.

[tomandshell]

I agree that this should be considered a fast sellout. $350 is a hefty price tage, and there are plenty of the first Luke PFs out there already for a great price. 1150 of these in a week is pretty good!

[pjam]

I agree that this should be considered a fast sellout. $350 is a hefty price tage, and there are plenty of the first Luke PFs out there already for a great price. 1150 of these in a week is pretty good!

Agreed and agreed, but this is a two-pack, the first two-pack and as I mentioned earlier the Only Luke with a Yoda, maybe the only PF Yoda and the only cracked Vader helmet we'll ever see in 1/4 scale.

So I think a lot of collectors got the message when the ES was announced and realized it was a much better value than originally thought.

[Sith Lord 0498]

I, for one, could care less about the edition size (although I think 1138 would've been a more clever size than 1150). I bought this exclusive solely on the basis that it is an iconic, powerful statue and the exclusive is nothing short of amazing.

eBay values have little meaning to me. I buy these items because I like them and want them...not to resell for a profit.

[NASEDO]

Theres is also a 2 piece limit, which is most likely helping sales. If the price was lower I wouldn't care about the edition size. Its like the LOTR UC stuff open editions, but you can get the items half of retail which is great. Sideshow you pay retail but the problem is on high editions the item loses value upon shipping. I think the same will happen with this Luke since it has already with the 1st PF LUke. I'm stilling getting the piece but I'm looking for the best price. Yes its a gamble if the price goes up, but I dont see that happening.

The last few PF Regular PF Lukes have been going for around $100.00 on ebay which is insane. Thats a $150.00 savings. I still think thats a problem, its a bad sign. The items are either over priced or the editions are to high. Add this with another Luke coming out, the prices will be going lower.

The new Luke looks excellent, but way pay top dollar? I dont care about the edition size I just want to get the best price for the piece.

I think a lot of that has to do with the pain apps on Luke as well. Same with the regular Han going for pretty cheap. If they looked like the protos their value would be much higher IMO.

It's a totally different ballgame when talking about exclusives. All of the exclusives have held their value or gone up. All of the regulars have dipped in value. You can go to any etailer and get the regular for under $300 right now. And you'll probably be able to get it for $250 after it starts shipping. But we're not talking about the regulars, we're talking about the exclusive. I would never buy a non-exclusive direct from SS becuase it doesn't make any sense when you can go to one of the great etailers and save a lot of money.

I agree with you 100%. I don't ever plan on selling anything that I own or have on order. I am going to start to be a little more picky when it comes to exclusives and whether I should get them from SS or go to an etailer and save money by getting the regular version.

I would never buy a non-exclusive direct from SS becuase it doesn't make any sense when you can go to one of the great etailers and save a lot of money.
Very true, although I get my 12" regs from SS because I am too impatient to wait for the dealers to get it and send it to me. :p I wonder if the rewards program will make us want to spend more money to buy direct and get the points. If so, that'll be one heckuva rewards program.

It will be very interesting to see how they handle the rewards program. I really wish we could get a little more info on it (hint, hint Dusty). I feel bad for those that have dropped small fortunes into SS already.

[The Josh]

Yeah, the regulars have dropped but I don't see that as a big deal. As long as they make it too my house intact and looking awesome that's my main concern. I don't plan on selling them so their overall value isn't a major issue with me because I think when you're concerned with the value collecting quits being fun. That's how collecting Sports Cards got with me. I loved collecting them but got to the point I was more worried about the value than what I was getting. So I quite collecting them.

Value can also mean the value of the piece to own and collect.

[Darth Rage]

I agree with you 100%. I don't ever plan on selling anything that I own or have on order.

Nor do I, but you never know. For me its more about the frustration of spending a bunch of cash and then seeing it for much cheaper 3 months later. Or thinking something will drop and then finding out it has doubled in price. Collecting is a crap shoot. I think you can make educated guesses, but it the end you never know what's going to take off and what will plummet in monetary value and how long these financial trends will last.

I like using a gift certificate and getting the whole thing for free. It hurts even less!
Soooo, where can I get a $350 gift certificate?



And we all know what this does to Fett's release date!

Just enter the annual Flash Fiction contest and get chosen as first runner up! (And it was actually $450. :cool: )

And don't even joke about a Fett delay...

Sweet no payment this month or next month now. I didnt even read the email, just figured it was saying that they were going to charge me again.

Scary this is, I wasn't joking. Has there been a SW PF that hasn't been delayed?

[tomandshell]

Has there been a SW PF that hasn't been delayed?

Yes, Boba Fett.

[GSRJedi]

"Knock knock"

"Who's There?"

"Boba Fett PF"

"Boba Fett PF has been delayed"



Just kidding. I just wanted to joke about it

I hope Boba isn't delayed; 1st Quarter '07 will be my real XMas with Luke/Yoda, Boba, Yoda 1:1, and Jabba.

[jason2885]

Now imagine this guys Jabba Fett and Luke & Yoda shipping in the same month equals a lot of complaining about the releases being too close together.

[tomandshell]

Shame on you!!!

If they delay my Boba Fett, then I will personally drive down there and steal the prototype. One way or the other, I will have it by March 31st!!!

Why? If it got delayed wouldn't that mean you had more time to save for everything? The only reason people should complain is if something got moved up, but that's never happened.

And Tom, we all know we won't see Fett until at least April so start taking your valume now.

If this got here by St. Patty's day, I'd be amazed. I'm hoping to have my tax refund to pay for the Fett man.

Yes, that's how mine is getting paid for. But I usually have my tax refund by the end of February, so Q1 still works for me!

Nothing can compete with my anticipation for this piece...

Well then you should be happy that you get to wait even longer for him :D

The anticipation is half the fun.

I don't think hes buying it.:lol I feel for his family if it does get delayed.:lol

[tomandshell]

All I can say is--watch the evening news the night that Sideshow announces the Fett delay. You will see me on all the major networks...

I really hope this is delayed til May (sorry Tom) because the first QTR is going to be murder.

Back on topic, I was just wondering if we were going to get any news on the Luke and Yoda PF. God I hope we're getting the short armed version!

it kind of ticks me off that i used flexpay and now they are skipping a month in taking the payment and i have to wait even longer to get the item plus they have my money sooner than they should. i know, i know, i can cancel. just venting because there are no SW PF's for the rest of the year. :(

Don't cancel on Flexpay or else they'll charge you a hefty fee!!

[Vader AL]

oh i won't cancel.....surely if someone does want to cancel because they changed the schedule they would let them out of the charge. i know the charge to cancel will be a lot more now that the first payment has been taken. i'm not canceling i was just venting because it will be probably 4 months before another SW PF ships.

.....grievous is starting to look tempting....

You know you want Grievous. Give in like the rest before they are all gone.

I just got him on Wednesday from Sideshow and I love it. I suggest that you get the exclusive version. I was only on the wait list for 2 days before he converted.
