It was in that Hobbylink Japan sale.
Just had to check my card records: He was £137.68 with delivery, plus £22.48 paid to Fed Ex for customs.
So £160.16 all in.
SS C-3PO cost more even with Sideshow's Hong Kong despatch office valuing him in HK$.

I don't know what the exchange rate was almost two years almost. Maybe 1.55? So $248.25.
With today's exchange rate it would have been $230.47.
Getting a good deal on it really helps. I'm not sure that I could have spent $400 plus shipping. What's interesting is they're still selling them. It's like they keep making a small batch every year or something.

The Tamashi booth at Wondercon had him for sale (it looked like they had more than one). He was going for $375. I passed on him (again) because that is just too steep for me at the moment.
It doesn't seem like they go for that cheap on eBay, but when I picked him up, ones that started low on auction often ended around $275. I got mine from a board member here so worth checking the sale threads.

could be 6'', could mean that they are doing the Hot Toys one.
Remember Tamashii did C-3PO but it was sold by Sideshow.

Yeah they're finally making a diecast R2 to go with 3PO...

Will it be the original design shown years ago? Because if so I think I still prefer the HT one, that Tama R2 was wayyy too shiny and clean and I think it was also underscaled.

that would be sweet hope it has all the lights and sounds like an r2 should be
Yeah they're original proto was pretty underwhelming but i'm betting they will up their game and make a great r2 to match the still awesome 3po
