I thought it said in the email link it was the blaster...not sure.  Thanks for the phone number.  It's busy but at least I have another option.

They mentione dit was a blaster, bot sure what kind though. I am hoping for the long vintage one. I took a few tries to get through but it worked eventually.

Finally got in.  I was sitting there looking at a white screen, hitting redial on my phone and all of sudden the order page pops up.  And like all the other times, once that happens it was easy sailing for me.  Didn't get a chance to look at the pics, I wanted to make sure the order was placed first.

Finally got in here as well.  Like Mikey said, once the order screen came up, things flew after that.  Still not sure where I'm going with this line (or where I'll be allowed to go :P), but I thought I'd preorder it just in case.  Still on the fence with Bib.

Same here.  And the exclusive is the Ubese blaster pistol.

Yup... finally got through as well!   YAY!!!!!!   I caved on the Bib.... I've needed a new completist focus since I decided to can it with the 4" line.

Well  that  was  certainly  excruciating,  staring  at  a  blank  screen  for  12  minutes,  but  I  finally  got  through.  Getting  Kit  was  so  easy  I've  gotten  spoiled.

Now  I've  got  to  go  back  and  see  what  I've  ordered.

I got in as well,but unlike others I've ordered I have yet to receive a confirmation e-mail,all I got was an order ID when I finished checking out.Anyone else notice this?

Just  got  my  email.  It  looks  like  this  figure  isn't  going  to come  with  any  ungloved  hands.

Toughest pre-order yet!  I've been trying since 10, and finally had to phone it in 55 minutes later. ::)  This was the first time I had to phone order, placed it in about 1 minute.  I finally was able to place a order online at 11:15.   I just don't trust ordering through the phone, it sounded busy as heck in the background. :o

The exclusive blaster isnt too exciting, but better than nothing. Just happy they included the long rifle.

I'll have to think long and hard about this one. I have the Saga version, and I'm pretty satisfied with that, as long as I leave the helmet on.

This is the first Sideshow figure I've ordered. I've aways like the Boushh outfit and was blown away when I saw the Sith Eye's Anakin at Comic-con. I hope this on is just a neat looking.

And Sideshow, if you're reading, the gift card promotion made this sale, even though I couldn't use it for the purchase. ;)

Do we have any idea when this figure is going to be released?  It's been forever since I placed my order for this Leia figure.   Actually, it's the last Sideshow 12" figure I've ordered as nothing else since has really impressed me (but I may have to pick up the "Ben" Kenobi figure).
Title: Re: Sideshow 12" Princess Leia (Boussh Disguise)
Post by: evenflow on June 1, 2007, 02:18 PM
It just seems to have alot of problems with it. They keep pushing the release date back.
Title: Re: Sideshow 12" Princess Leia (Boussh Disguise)
Post by: DarkKnight2k4 on June 1, 2007, 02:23 PM
I would rather see them push a piece like this back, then to have them release a product we would all criticize.

But that's just me.

Usually I'd get an update by now so I called  SS, and the girl there said they were still "processing the orders". She then asked me If I wanted her to process the order "right now" so I said sure. She said they would ship Leia right away. :)

I got my Leia today, was never too excited about it to begin with but need it to go with Jabba.

I know what you mean. Offering Jabba was a stroke of genius by SS. Bib, Bousch, Bubo and even Crumb weren't high at all on my wish list (not to mention a $200 polystone slab), but getting Jabba made them all more appealling.

Still waiting on mine to ship, site still says "order placed", though I received my 3-5 day notice :(

I finally got it, I was getting a little worried there for awhile. The figure is awesome. One little problem is that the cannisters for her back dont stay on well. It would have been nice too if they gave her a pouch to put the thermal detonator in.

One thing that sucks is that the styrofoam endcaps designed to protect the corners of the box damaged the sides of the box by causing it to curl.

Heck yeah... the Cantina/Jabba are my two favorite locales in Star Wars.   Just opened up my Leia and am pleased for the most part.   I love the likeness and she looks great next to my Carbonite Han (not sure if I want to use the light-up one or the ohter)  Her staff doesn't really fit in her hand too well, after the first head swap, the inside of the helmet popped out,  one of the pieces on the bandolier already came loose (add some glue I guess), and I have no idea what 1/2 of her accessories are (they look like drinking cups). 

Of course... Leia as Bousssh never was in the same scene as Luke Jedi... but.... :-)
 I'll try and get some pics up of the display soon.

Okay, so I've had my first SW Sideshow experience. I have to say I'm somewhat underwhelmed. Don't get me wrong, these things are far superior to Hasbro's offerings, but I'm disappointed in some of the costume details.

I just ordered a Liea Boussh Exclusive Second Chance.  I great deal on a gift card so it only cost me $30.  Sweet!
