R2-D2 Legendary Scale Figure

[DerekDeS]

Its pretty clear whoever is in charge of Sideshow's pricing has a mental illness.

I agree!! I think SS is raising prices wherever they can to compensate for losing customers. The problem is that they don't realize that the initial increase in prices is what made them lose customers in the first place. Nothing they produce is worth the price they charge anymore.

Is it April 1st?

Add some money and you can get a nice 1:1 R2

Heck. Do an 'eggcrate' R2 build, Resin parts, and you'll probably come in a little under 2k for a Full Sized R2!

"Master, Sideshow is developing an R2 class droid that is just under 2 feet tall."

A day later and the price is still hilarious

Exactly, I'm building a 1:1 all Aluminum. Why would anyone want this at 1/2 scale, then 2K for 22 inch statue. Build your own!!!!

Rather get the Prime 1 BvS pieces for the same price.

I can't say I've never overpaid for something in this hobby - but this price is simply crazy!! Who in the H$#L would pay 2K for this thing, you've got to be joking. I thought SS was out of their mind for pricing Ren at $570, but this is out of control.

On top of free shipping, I expect Sideshow to announce triple rewards at this same time next year... just to get this thing to move.
Before that, however, they will threaten with a low quantity alert and even the "Checking warehouse for remaining stock" alert.

I second every response in this thread so far ...

I'd probably order this for 8x rewards.

This will be the size of BB8

Check out that Deagositini! https://www.deagostini.com/uk/collections/build-your-own-R2-D2/
Hasn't come out in the US yet, but it looks great. Actual metal dome, camera in eye, remote controlled. Looks to be a much better deal.

I purchased the 1:1 R2-D2 from Sideshow when it came out, and it was only like $4500 with free shipping. So the price on this little one seems pretty steep.

I would so buy this in a new York minute. I do the MF subscription, and this would be a no brainer. Sideshow better think long and hard about their new pricing model. Getting easier to stop all together. I always have to justify big purchases, and no way in hell can I justify this or Kylo pf.

Agreed. The price increases has definitely hurt sales. Sideshow answer to this, let's raise the prices more. Like liberal governments plan to increase revenue, let's raise taxes more and give less people money to spend.

haha Even then it would be hard for me to do it. I will settle for the PF.

I don't know... At 8x rewards.... I think even I would start considering.....$1,200 US...... Probably not.

 

[JAWS]

I think R2 also looks out of Scale when compared to 3PO

He is too small. So you are not even getting true 1/2 scale.

Here is the 1/4 scale comparison to each other.

Even at that hypothetical discount, I know what I'd be buying... And did

Sideshow economics - sell 10 at $4250 with a huge mark up instead of selling 500 at $2000 like it's really worth. Genius!

I wish they would re-release the original and wolf pred 1:1 busts.
