1/6 Hot Toys - MMS 279 - Star Wars Episode IV: 1/6th scale Darth Vader

[teemu]

There's not much of an interest rate to even worry about

over a period of a year $60,000+ even at 1% would still bank a couple thousand (plus) of free money

But ten thousand times zero must add up to a fair chunk of change no? Ten thousand.

Ordered through Alter Ego, $275.99 and no NRD. I can't say I will keep my order but at lease I have it locked.

 

[teemu]

I seriously hope you don't work as a financial advisor.

it's still FREE money for Sideshow...not too mention cancellations on top of it

Do AE do RP? 'Cause a coupon would make this $280 with RP on top. So $275 is still up there.

Congrats, compounding monthly you have made $602.76. Now take off the costs.

I'll give you cancellations are a bonus too them but interest is nothing.

Anyone else notice that the height of the figure is listed on the sideshow website at 13.75.... what was the SSC deluxe Vader's height again?

They have a rewards program but its not as good as Sideshow, the only reason to order from AE is no NDR.

Shhhhhhh. They don't like people mentioning that.

 

[Sardo Numspa]

Oh there it is... 13.75.... so the Hot Toys one is just as tall as the SSC one...

 

[DiFabio]

Hot Toys 13.5 inches is much better and more accurate to the sawce than Sideshow's 13.5, it's science.

send me over $60,000 and I'll put it into my bank and sit on it for a whole year and then I'll tell you how much interest I made from that until the figure actually ships...It costs NOTHING to hold money in a bank ....Its $2,400+ interest FREE MONEY,plus ALL the inevitable free money cancellations

Everyone knows. Years of complaining about Vader's height across the various iterations has people resigned to it.

Ah, I kind of skipped over the NRD bit. There's still a small chance I might pick this up, but no way am I laying down an NRD.

 

[cmiller99]

$300? Jesus. That's nasty.

But it looks great.

Shhhhhh. Don't complain. Hot toys always makes perfect toys. Don't ask questions or compliain. Just buy it. They will throw in the Mark xvvvxvccii for free.

I know what the interest rates are going for and Banks interest rates are very low,but sitting on $30,000 or $60,000+ of people's money for a whole year in FREE MONEY...and there are other ways to invest that money

Show me the math please.

Research the interest rate at your local bank, for a savings account, and tell me what the earned interest is after a year, on a $30,000 deposit.

I'm not across taxation law in the US - but in Oz you'd be paying tax on that interest.

Not a fan of the robes. Looks like the same material used on Batman's cape and we all know how that turned out. Dome and mask look good but a little giraffe necked. Hopefully it's lens distortion.

All these new pictures do is show how off the helmet is.

Lighting is a killer for this thing. Was completely jazzed at the initial teases but now I'm sticking with my SS figure.
