1/6 Hot Toys - Star Wars Episode IV - 1/6th scale Luke Skywalker in Stormtrooper Disguise

[Asta]

Those from the UK who are getting these now, where did you order from? Ordered mine from sideshow directly and have final payment going out the 5th of next month so in hoping for a before X-Mas delivery but i'm
not holding my breath.

I need my next sideshow fix

Ordered from Sideshow. But they're sending orders direct from Hong Kong now to Europe and Australia.

I'm considering buying one just to have one more stormtrooper. How much do you guys think I could get for the headsculpt if I sell that to soften the blow abit?

What is the cost of the figure in total? Forbidden Planet prices really going up and Collectable Kitbash don't seem to have any recent figures for sale.

With tax and delivery it's over £50 cheaper than forbiddenplanet.com.

Take into account reward points earned, it's over £58 cheaper.

Cheapest UK price I've seen is Collectibles Direct:


Star Wars Luke Skywalker (Stormtrooper Disguise Version) 1/6 Scale Figure 28 cm stormtrooper

With an account he's £210, less £10 for up front payment, less 1% loyalty discount = £198.

But it was still cheaper ordering from Sideshow!

Thanks Kuat, when you're ordering a few figures saving £40/50 is like getting a freebie.

My Luke finally left China today. No ETA yet but it may land home by the week-end... if he can avoid anymore Imperial entanglements that is.

 

[reuters]

Luke will be in tomorrow. TIE pilot has arrived one day earlier though.

Take lots of pictures

Im uk and ive just ordered from pc australia stormtrooper 2 pack was £262 delivered i expect tax so £314 plus get rewards
ss would have been £347 after tax
although luke stormtrooper from ss was £185 shipped inc taxes which isnt bad as they gave me a cs discount $25 on online chat

Anybody in the US get any kind of notice on this from ss? Seems like this has been out quite awhile now.

 

[TonTon]

Nada.

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

^Doesn't give me much hope as far as getting Luke or vader before Christmas. I doubt the factories in China give a hoot if a bunch of dorks in the US have a gleeful xmas.

 

[TonTon]

This is the only one I think I should be able to bank on the way things are going. Vader would be sweet but still need a coupon code for him. I was tempted to pick up a loose Tatooine body on eBay and plop this head on until the Tatooine hits stateside but as always, it's just too much $$ for me. Better to stay patient.

I used the "2nd" coupon from last month immediately on vader when someone on the board posted it. I have never spent the extra money on an early release. With ssc gouging on shipping charges I'm often content waiting for bbts.

I sat on that bonus one and it disappeared from my saved discounts. Should have used it immediately but I think I ran out of definite purchases and of course everything has an NRD now. Used the first spook one on the sandtrooper at least.

These deliveries from Hong Kong are a comedy of errors. Got three changes of ETA for Luke X-Wing before this notification just now:

A late flight has caused a delay. We're adjusting plans and working to deliver your package as quickly as possible.

Haven't had an ETA at all for Luke Stormtrooper, but now he's also got the same notification about the late flight, because they were travelling on the same aircraft.

It was released in HK on Oct. 19. It seems like Sideshow's been getting its first shipment about two months later so this is looking like late December.

 

[TonTon]

Shipping December 11th from SS! Just in time for TFA.
