Premium Format C-3PO & R2-D2 Premium Format Set

[IrishJedi]

Hey, you know what would have been awesome? Selling these guys SEPARATELY (on their own matching bases) and also offering the option of purchasing them together and offering a single base as well.

Or does that just make too much sense?

I was going to have an MRI once on my head and neck and I panicked and couldn't do it.

I'm a big baby.

That's what Valium, Adavan and Halidol are for. Drug up and get scanned!

 

[swsqueakquels]

If anything, I think the 'Regular' should have been titled as the 'Exclusive' and vice versa. But, hey, the fact that Sideshow offers both is awesome. The finished product looks excellent.

That does seem to make more sense - you think of threepio in a toy sense as clean/shiny and also weathering being an additional element, but the reality is that getting a flawless, pristine clean finish is really tough at this scale, and probably requires greater quality control and effort.

I wonder if there might be a market for replacement bases for these guys. For me, the only reason I might want to display them separately would be if they come out with a Jabba PF, and then I might want to incorporate 3PO into a Jabba's palace display. Otherwise, I think the droids look great together.

Buy both then sell the weathered versions with the separate bases

I'd be afraid the wiring wouldn't work or something. Be just my luck.

 

[The Ween]

I know. I saw that when I typed it but decided not to delete it.

I wonder if JAWS realized it when he was typing.

It does suck being an EX whore.

 

[The Ween]

I wonder if JAWS realized it when he was typing.

I bet not!

At the time they didn't give me any. The box over the face did it for me. NOPE!

In the long run I didn't need it anyway and saved me a ton of money. At the time I didn't have insurance. And even now it would cost me $800 out of pocket for one, so I won't be getting one any time soon for anything.

I do now..

 

[vorpoll]

Not sure if it was said already but I assume the Reg gets the restraining bolts and the EX gets R2D2's arm in the hidden compartment? Or does that arm come on both versions?

 

[icruise]

They had better come with both...

 

[slynger]

everything I've heard says that both Artoos get the same gadgets.

 

[OZZY2469]

Both versions (clean and weathered) will have light-up features....that includes R2-D2.

-SideshowAlex

Both versions will include a light up feature

 

[Chaosorb]

I think the main differences with these two sets are the paint apps and the base. The restraining bolts obviously wouldn't come with both versions due to the settings that each set are taken from.

 

[nothingface35]

Congrats to those who ordered this. If it was a little less expensive ,and I had the space, I'd be sweating this.

 

[Niceman]

I suspect it would be more expensive for them to make the physical differences than include them on both.

I'd love to order this. The price is really rough. I'll have to think about it.

 

[comicbookguy]

Both versions will include a light up feature

Great news!

 

[Buckstar]

Anyone know if they will close off the regular one soon, or wait a few weeks for comic con? Thanks!

I'm sure it will be available for a few years like most of the other SW PF's.

 

[darthviper107]

They aren't going to close off the regular for a while, I imagine in a few months they'll figure out a final edition size and if things go well for them it'll sell out by the time it ships, considering it's a popular piece.

But it's also possible it'll be around 6 months after it releases.
