I have all the MR sabers and EFX Sabers to date but sadly EFX has me so bored over the past few years, I keep finding myself hitting my "I dont give a ****" button.

Vader ROTJ pictured is ESB

Sorry about that.

I take it back. That really does look like a sneek peek at a Rogue One Darthy. A bit plastic looking for my liking but interesting. Sorry about my tantrum earlier. Was having a Dark Side moment

Looks fake. Wrong sabers. No thanks

Inner cape goes under the chest armour Num Nutz LOL. I've been 501st for over a decade. If you pay big money for this big toy, then you are a rich, lazy arse that knows f- all about Vader. Looks like a giagantic plastic hasbro doll. Do your homework. Join the 501st and get some decent kit...

Does anyone have both the Sideshow and the HCG in a comparative pic? I have HCG Joker and Dark Knight as a matching pair. IS there any point in getting this sideshow release? I already have that story being told in my collection…...

Good ponts matt85. WOW I wish I could say MONEY WASN"T REALLY AN ISSUE :) Some feedback from shop is that they are currently making more in Hong Kong so it should be a replacement early next year ( just like every other time ) Oh well...... such is life when you buy 1:1 Sideshow. Will let you...

My life is good since I stopped being so obsessive about the collection. I too have had to re evaluate what is important due to unforeseen events. ALTMANNS Don't get me wrong, I have a full set of Altmanns ( as well as his Vader armour and excellent BOUSHH helmet.) I love them as they came...

Hi Jkno, Not rich by any means. I do not own a house, my car is worth about $1000, and have never travelled anywhere in the world except to work and back home every day. I have made many sacrifices in other areas of my life due to my OCD obsession with the collection. For someone in his...

I tend to agree with the guys about prop builders being evil when it comes to money. I got ripped off very badly for $1600 USD by JB props for a Darth Vader Helmet and armor. He told me dozens of lies over many years...... then just stopped responding to all my emails. I have been scammed about...

NO WAY IN HELL would I trade all those nice busts for life size figures. I have all the life size Sideshow figures you are dreaming of and they are all crap. PLease read this thread :( https://sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=103060

An the rest of you guys.... thanks for the kind words. Still no word from the shop or Sideshow :dunno:(

The eyes on the combat version can positively not be fixed as the tiny cables that run to the big cheap leds are glued in very solid all the way down the neck with tons of epoxy putty or thick paste glue. Sadly the flimsy cabling won't even slide a mm to get at it. But the head can not be...

Everything but the 1:1 V2 Terminator was replaced. Being in Australia and interstate from the shop which imported the items, it can take many months for replacement parts to arrive. Not once out of 5 life sized Sideshow figures have I enjoyed a happy simple trouble free arrival. Every single...
