So at first I was like "this is a dumb move for Hot Toys to make one of the duo limited... why would you kill sales on BT like this? May as well make both limited". But in all honesty... It was all pretty smart. They are somewhat obscure characters but mostly use existing molds. So they would...

Holy crap I actually got one this time!

What page though? :)

So no pre-registering at SS on this one?

It is going to be random luck again I bet. We will get dumped in a virtual queue and assigned a random number. He is limited to 2k worldwide, so SS gets maybe 1K is my guess? So no matter what, a lot of folks are going to walk away empty handed. The only "random queue" that has panned out for...

Latest Star Wars 1/6th scale custom finished- Wedge Antilles! I can’t believe Sideshow & Hot Toys never delivered on him! Obviously a Sideshow Luke X-Wing body… with a head surgically removed from a broken Gentle Giant Wedge Antilles bust. Does the job!

When I checked a month or so ago, they said they are shipping 20 per month, in order they were placed. I got in very early for the pair (immediately after they posted) and haven't been contacted yet about my balance due... so I am guessing I will be next month or the month after now.

So the exhibit will likely be just a mix of a lot of older figures (Dooku, Maul, Vader, etc), prototypes that have been shown and solicited (Marrok, Armored Gideon, CW Palpatine), prototypes that have been shown and may never see the light of day (the Inquisitors from Kenobi), and finally only 2...

Officially waitlisted now.

First Artisan I have managed to get.... Still not 100% sure I need him though.

I am thinking it will be the undead Deathtrooper teased in the Night Trooper pics.

I keep hearing 800 at Sideshow, 400 in China, 300 in Hong Kong. That would seem to be in line with how the queue played out for me. When I first got in, it said 822 ahead of me in line. When the line paused (which seems to be the time where it actually sold out and switched to the waitlist), I...

Sideshow should have done a lotto for the pre-registrants. If you got in, they send an email saying you get picked and a link to buy. If not everyone takes the spot, then institute a first-come, first-serve drop of whats left. This queue for 5000+ people trying for 800 pieces is super dumb and...

I had 822 in front of me when I first got in. Still sold out by the time I got to the buy screen. Lame. Glad I snagged one from an overseas dealer.

The posting from Hot Toys Secret Base makes it sound like this initial release is only 300 pieces actually. I think the 1500 is indeed the number for the full run (which would make him the most limited clone release if I am not mistaken): Limited to 300 sets in stock in Hong Kong! Jeremy at...
