Re: Sideshow 1:6 TESB Yoda & Dagobah Hut Environment!
thats a lot higher than its been in recent times, right? I wonder if they are trying to reconnect with some of the people that collected this line in the beginning?
BTW, Yoda's ES is 5,000 Regular and 750 Exclusive

Nah, I'm not willing to pay an extra 40 for the snake, cool as it may be. I just got mine from AE. Non-elite for life.
Hell yeahAre you elite on this one Flosi?

Almost 6,000 total Yodas...
I think they'll still sell out within the next 6 months like Vader.
I mean, after Vader, Yoda would seem to be the most popular little figure to get if you figure all those non-collectors who just want one little guy for their desk at work, etc.

or the manufacturing costs in yoda were so low that SSC doesn't mind carrying a 1000 or so until they sell (or dumping them to gohastings, etc).
I think the clothing costs are the most expensive thing for SSC to make, and Yoda is pretty simple and sparse.

Well the regular is already on backorder... so I'd guess it will sell out sooner than later.
Yoda really is a must have figure IMO, kind of like the Emperor a SW collection is just not complete w/o him.

I see the regular is on backorder.
And Yoda trumps the Emperor as far as "must haves" go. Glad to see the little guy getting his due.

I'm not. I'm still waiting for my replacement because they don't have any left.

Ah, that makes perfect sense.
Ironically enough, while I easily passed on Yoda, I didn't want to miss out on the exclusive Emperor.

I'd say Yoda might be second only to Vader... The Droids, Chewie and Boba would be pretty cool too.... If we ever get them.

Ah well let's pretty lame. Did they give you any timetable at all? Hopefully they don't pull a "Thor PF" and offer only a refund plus giftcard for your trouble.

3-4 days. Then this yesterday:
A full refund would be palatable if I got to keep the figure. I'd take a gift card too. A big one.

Re: Sideshow 1:6 TESB Yoda & Dagobah Hut Environment!
Hands down the most expensive part of Yoda was the body. Even, if they had straight up re-molded Gollum's body and used that, it STILL would've been the most expensive. They still would've had to make molds of Gollum's body, and that's a lot of steel molds for all those pieces.
The steel molds to make a figure are still the most expensive part of the production process. The reason Hot Toys figures are so expensive, and the reason why they always have such crisp paint apps is that they use steel molds to paint the heads. It's always accurate and always precise.
The plastic molded pieces are the most expensive part of any figure.
Had the exclusive Yoda been the "Force" face, there would be a lot more people belly-aching about missing out on the Ex.
Ex Head > anything.

On the left is a Doctor Who Cyberman made by Dapol in the late 80's. Not sure what that is on the other side though.
