just like Death trooper, I never activate those cheap batteries on these figures.

Yeah, that is the most toyish looking figure I have seen from HT. I hope its just hot lighting on very glossy black plastic.
Should look like mechanical death trooper in hand. That's just a really bad picture

A pity they wen't for the Phase 3 Dark Trooper look right away. Imagine a 1/6 Hulkbuster-esque sized Dark Trooper !!
The whole soldier/droid thing in SW just doesn't make any sense to me. They have B1 and B2 droids in the Prequels, then they go with just Clones and Stormtroopers, then they make these Dark Troopers which are clearly formidable but the show acts like B2's were never a thing, then they go back to just Stormtoopers in the First Order.

Just when I thought I was out of Hot Toys, they go and suck me right back in. Hot Toys must be loving this.
Mandalorian has bought balance back to the force.....

I didn't know exactly what to expect for the price, but I wasn't disappointed. I'm still not 100% sold on the Terminator in Star Wars concept, but it worked on the show. Loved the season 2 finale so much I had to order three of these.

No. As the distributor they take preorders for many months. Right up to close to release most probably. This is so they can tell Hot Toys how many to make.
SS only limit other stores like BBTS to maximise the number of orders they get themselves.
SS has a monopoly on this industry in the US & Europe. It's unfair and ridiculous.
There should be laws to protect small businesses and prevent distributors from selling things themselves.

I don't think there should be laws preventing it, but they really need to at least let small retailers have an open two weeks or something to get orders and then place the order. They can 100% fulfill whatever the small guys want, it is quite annoying. This one was SUCH a rush, even more than the Shoretroopers. This is sold out at almost every single retailer I checked. Monkey Depot has some but they charge shipping.

THANK YOU pjam for the heads-up. I just popped over to BBTS and to my shock, they must've added more. Secured a PO.
Really appreciate that, bud!

Because Sideshow dictates the allotment to these other retailers. This happens with most figures now it seems, low stock everywhere but Sideshow.
Well, its my understanding that retailers can ask for more stock but the minimum numbers required might not make sense. For example, AE might not trust taking on another 50 units because they may feel they're near saturation for this particular item.
That said, you'd think Day 1 sell out would indicate there's demand.

Ha I didn't mean it to read the way it probably did. I meant that scammers and the type of collectors that report the absolute smallest non-issues with 1/6 toys for replacement. I wouldn't do it, I swear lol.
