More time to save, as anxious as I am to get them. If there are issues, I'd rather wait and let sideshow get these figures done right. They set the bar for themselves pretty high with Jedi Luke.

A little bird told me that there is a strong posibility that Qui-Gon won't be shipping until the end of the year, so you can space everyone out accordingly.

Well I will say this: Spacing these figures out will be easier on the bank... But my anticipation is just about at a boil now. I can't even imagine where it will be in August.:google

Thank God. May and June were going to be rough enough as it were. I could definitely use a little break and delay.

But the Luke and Yoda PF should be shipping in 2-4 months if it's coming in the 3rd Qtr!:D

With Anakin being pushed back some I'm not suprised.

Oh, it makes me sad, I wanted my first figure as soon as possible. Darn it, see when I order a figure--I've already got the money availible in the bank and then I just subtract that in my checkbook so I don't spend it. Then when the shipping time comes I have the money there already and it's no surprise, so it doesn't really cause a problem if 4 figures come out in the same month because all of the money would be there anyway. So now I have to wait until July to get my Kit Fisto figure, this makes me sad.

Obi-Wan and Han won't be coming so close together. Good for my bank account, but I'll have to wait until late June for my very first SS figure. :(

Yeah, me too....I'm being hit hard enough this month and next as it is! A break is just what I needed to make sure I have enough money to afford all this cool swag... :google

Hopefully the wait will only make the figures better, even though it does tax patience. :p I'm anxious to get Kit to go with my Anakin, I think I'm gonna use him as a stand in until I get Dooku...

I am in the same boat as most board members. Just way too much stuff shipping out in June. The only thing I really want is General Grievous. But he won't be in for another 30 days unless I'm wrong. :monkey2

Agreed. Let it be broke NOW. I dont want all this stuff hitting at the end of the year during the shopping season!! I say spend it now and not have to go into '07 with my CCs loaded up.

I can probably say this with more umph b/c I dont collect the LOTR 1/6!

Bring the Pain!!!:emperor
Let the bodies hit the floor!!!!

Right now, the only thing I have to look forward to is Anakin...and that's still a month away!

This is just great news. I was thinking on cancelling the 12" and concentrate on only PF , now I have more time to think :chew

I would assume that EU customers can add a month to those times if the EU release of Jedi Luke was anything to go by. Not the best news but there's nothing I can do about it except be a bit more patient.

Thankfully you are. They are supposed to start shipping mid-late next week. I called SS yesterday and they explained the slight delay. So fear not, some will still get charged the $450+ this month.

I've noticed that a lot of the latest items are now due "third quarter"... Man, this is going to be a very 'hot' autumn I belive...

Unless some other things get pushed back, July and August look pretty lite. Only a couple 12" and a few GG busts. June could really put a hurting on me and after the May I've had I could use those two months to recover. I just tallied up all my pre-orders and it's close to 3K. Has anyone found an antidote to this sickness?

I believe it comes in the form of a boney fellow in a black hood. :lol

Congats on the 100 milestone. Ah, the boney guy with a black hood (I'm assuming you mean this guy :maul ). He's part of the reason May is kicking my A$$.

My guess is pixletwin means THIS boney guy in a black hood: :nazgul

Oh, wait, maybe it's THIS guy: :emperor

OK, so we really need a reaper emoticon, methinks! :lol
