Not sure what the debate is since both sets have their merits. In my opinion, this is the first EX from the PF line that can truly live up to the EX title. Completely different than the regular and with a legitimate EX run quantity. Both these pieces will be treasured in my collection for a very long time!

No doubt, both versions are gonna rock. :rock

Wasn't really trying to start a debate. I think the EX droids are nice. I just like the weathered Droids because that is how they looked for most of the OT. The EX Droids are the PT versions ;)

:lecture I love the details in the weathering. I hope Sideshow keeps the production pieces as close to the proto as possible. :yess:

Yes, this is one exclusive option that Sideshow got right. Had it been reversed and the weathered version had been the exclusive limited to 200, I think it would have been very bad. The weathered version is my prefered version, but for those who like the shiny or dig the low ES, they're happy too. I haven't heard too many people upset that they can't get what they want (other than the split bases on the EX)...

Yeah, I think for the most part, we are all going to be very happy with these... so long as the paint app is good and as close to the prototype in the pictures.
 
For me it's simple; the droids together on one base just as they started their adventure (I don't count the PT). Mixed with a little weathering and just enough poseability for a classic pose, it's all good for me. :clap

Any updates to this list lately. My wait list is 18:27:19. I haven't received any new info but read more cancellations went out.
 
There have been no updates to my knowledge. There was one wave of conversions early on and nothing since. I added you to the list and hope that you convert. Your chances are better than most.

I'm really surprised with this hitting the coming soon section of the newsletter (which used to be the shipping in next 30 days section) today, this thread hasn't exploded.

Mines coming through a local reseller here in Australia so not sure how long I have to wait.

Looking at this list makes me feel not very good about getting the shiney droids. Oh well I still think the dirty version look great as well.

MsJedi, you're sittin' pretty compared to me! The cancellation notice is nippin' at my heals!! :pray:
 
Not to be the bad news bear, but the cancellations are gonna come quick once these start to ship. Other than a credit card decline here and there.

I know, short of a miracle...it ain't happenin'. I do have the regular's on order, so im at peace with it. :monkey2
 
If I were any of you with the exclusive secured, I'd go ahead and go the route I and others took with the PZ exclusive (only 100, remember), and call for a total, and send a money order or cashier's check for what you owe on the pair of droids.

Don't **** with Sideshow. They will cancel you in a heartbeat, even if they mis-punch a number on the credit card approval process! (I think)

Do it, or :panic:
 
If those come out great in hand.. IM seriously thinking about to sell my Mark VI to get those... what you guys think?
