Are you getting one from BBTS? I think I'm pulling the trigger on it, not too many left.

Was there only one version released by sideshow or was there an exclusive as well?

I'd like to. Don't have the funds at the moment but hopefully soon before they sell out.

Congrats!
I love mine too. Hope to have more space in future to display it better.

I just bought one from BBTS yesterday... like you they never seemed to drop in price and I missed out on using a $20 off coupon. Figured I'd better get one now rather than have to pay an extra $50 to $100 in a year.
Just the one version.

Thanks. Yeah I just picked one up from BBTS as well. I think they are down to 13. I agree , better to spend the $349 now and $500 down the road.

Same here and if the tracking is correct the Tauntaun will be here tomorrow; that's damn quick for a giant package.

Wow! LOL
Was $42 shipping when I go this from SS, pretty much wiped out all rewards and would have wiped out most of a coupon had I used one, compared to BBTS.

Wow. UPS through BBTS would be $34.39

That sounds about right
Well that does make me feel a bit better about missing out on using a $20 coupon from Sideshow. I remember the shipping from Sideshow was pretty high and funny that it would have taken as long or longer than getting it from BBTS for $12.

Well, sure enough the Tauntaun showed up today... I placed my order on Tuesday and 4 days later the package arrives. Not sure what'd be faster but at $12 I'm now a huge fan of the BBTS Super Saver.
And the Tauntaun was double-boxed... leading C-3PO and Han to disagree on whether or not that could actually be a Tauntaun in there.
Gotta say I love the Tauntaun and Sideshow did solid work with the Hoth figures. Hopefully we get a Leia from Sideshow or Hot Toys before it's all said and done; her ESB appearance has been sorely under-represented.

The party was cut short when I quickly discovered the Tauntaun did not fit in the shelf I had ear-marked for it. However, with a drill and some determination I was able to cut a hole in the side of the shelf to allow the tail to pass through. And since there are figures on the adjacent shelf you can't even tell I did anything
And here he is on display, I'll switch up the poses on Luke and Han a bit, but at the time I didn't have all of their accessories handy.

That's a drastic work you did for your display cabinet.
