Faux Bronze Diplomatic mission up for pre-order.

[Lord Aykroyd]

SW makes no sense to me... a limited marvel piece goes for 3X retail. If it's Star Wars its < retail. I actually stopped buying all my SW pieces from SSC, because they are inevitably cheaper to find on ebay.

MOREOVER - It was cheaper for me to sell my SSC Speederbike and buy a new one on ebay than it was for me to keep my original and then ship it during a move to Ontario. WTF

 

[metaphorge]

I do not understand this faux bronze kick.

 

[Avfin]

Missed this one-0--no biggie

 

[Polystoner]

Anyone who got their orders in, but doesn't want to keep it? Please let me know. I missed out...

You might try the waitlist. I got on on the 24th @ 15:28 and I got my conversion notice today. Either a lot of declines or somehow people are cancelling somehow.

I'm keeping mine though. I've been waiting for this one.

 

[swabie2424]

My waitlist converted today too. Glad it did. Have a spot picked out for this one. One of the few f/b ones I've dug.

Guys, I just got this piece in, and it is FANTASTIC! It looks nothing like the 'gold' in the preview images, it looks SOOOO good. I don't care for the earlier FBs, but they did an OUTSTANDING job on this one. And I'm not hyping it, I'm just giving props to SS for getting the job done on this one.

EXCELLENT WORK SS! Now, if the LotR Balrog/Gandalf FB looks this good...

pics please

 

[ComputerFly]

As requested!

I actually really like how this one turned out. One of the better FB pieces, from the looks of it.

 

[Mesa]

Damn, that doe look good. Now I almost wish I hadn't sold it. #6 going to somebody in Kentucky.

That's right, I said it and admit it, I'm an evil flipper SOB.

 

[Batty]

That does look good. It actually looks bronzed.

 

[Darth Mitchell]

Looks bronze indeed
But I still prefer the normal verion
btw... wich number do you have of the 50?

 

[ComputerFly]

I received #38...and no, it hasn't been listed on ebay

Bad Mesa!

For you lurkers out there. If you are reading this post, DDIV also wants one of these EFFers! Shoot me a PM or email.

Okay, I just got to say, this is the best damn Faux Bronze piece that Sideshow has put out, period. It's fan-frickin'-tastic. I wish all the other attempts looked as good as this one.

Buyer asked me to inspect prior to shipping, so I took the liberty of taking some pics for everyone's enjoyment. with and without flash.

Absolutely perfect Sideshow. you completely missed the boat on the previous ones, but this is a masterpiece.

[ComputerFly]

I'm glad you got to take a look at it before it shipped Mesa! Definitely the best FB* application I've seen from any company, period.

*(As long as FB means 'it looks like real bronze')

I hope you made a pretty penny on this jazz.

I hope you made a pretty penny on this jazz.

Nope. only $40 after free shipping and Ebay fees, sold for 325 w/free ship. Oh well, every little bit helps.

I sort of wish I didn't have a buyer and i'd be "stuck" with this great piece.

I just on the WL for the LOTR fellbeast/Eagle piece, which I would gladly keep if it looks anything like this and if it converted, but I know it wont convert this late in the game. funny thing is, I had a good 5 minutes to pull the trigger but didn't go for it.

Any SW fans should be very happy with this.

 

[the dude person]

It is ok but not for me, I prefer the regular version. It looks too dark.

Mmm... tasty chocolate!
