Totally got the original. They are both worth it to me.
I like the bases also... I would be tempted to trade my tatooine base with someone who gets these...
I assume R2 will be the same as the old set and you can move him closer to 3PO.
Assuming you want both. I only wanted R2.
Of course.

Never realized the exclusive edition had such generic bases. Out of the 3 editions, those guys got the short end of the base stick.

Still, I think I would have preferred the exclusive, so they look more like ultimate celebratory trophies. I was on the waitlist for it but I was shocked when it didn't convert like mine always usually do.
The regular edition said "limited edition." In my dictionary, "limited" doesn't translate as "open-ended."

I too only ever wanted R2, to go with my Leia and Obi Wan PF's, and hence really needed 1/4 scale. While there's been some good 1/6th scale options, nothing 1/4 for just R2.
The price is a bit steep tho, since I assume it really is the exact same R2 model (ie all development work got covered in the original release) and the only new bit is the base, which is also likely the only bit that is solid polystone and hence the total weight of it all.
Having said that, this maybe my only option for R2 and I do have $150 in reward points.
Even so, assuming it doesn't sell out before shipping, think I'd still like to wait for in-hand pics and opinions.

The limited to 200 was the clean version. The other limited version was the two on a single base. Neither of those are being sold again.Never realized the exclusive edition had such generic bases. Out of the 3 editions, those guys got the short end of the base stick.

The bases were what was limited obviously.
yeah, I wavered on the exclusive set initially and ended up buying them for more $ in the aftermarket. Then I bought a custom base so they could be displayed together properly. I was worried SS was going to release another exclusive clean version of these "sold separately with a new base" to get around the 200 edition size. At least they didn't do that...

This is not the exact C-3PO. The original had both shoes painted gold.

More reissues for quick cash grab off the movie hype. Really not surprised by anything sideshow does anymore. And the new bases are ugly as heck and don't even line up.
Yes plastic.
If I were interested in 1/4 scale droids, I would just wait for the HT versions. Seems inevitable.

I think 1/4 Hot Toys TFA droids may be on the horizon. 3PO is obviously different. Not sure about R2 though.

True, nothing wrong with a good wait.
