Title: ACME Sketchplates

I picked this R2-D2 sketchplate up at C4 from ACME for $30. Limited to 1000.

Very nice & more to come. ACME has 200 available online so hurry fast before they are all gone, see link below.

A cool item, I wonder if they will do them for all the McQuarrie series figures eventually. I'm passing, but tempted.

They advised that they will be doing select characters ... and vehicles... the next release will be a SDCC exclusive.

This 1000 piece edition features original Joe Johnston sketches of the X-Wing Starfighter photo-etched on aircraft-grade aluminum. The sketchplate gives insight into the development of iconic Lucasfilm creations as well as providing historic details. Full piece measures approximately 8 inches by 5 inches. The sketchplate itself measures 7 inches by 3.35 inches. Sketchplate is mounted on a foam core spacer "to float" on the black acrylic backer. For Comic Con attendees, we are offering a pre-order for pickup option. This piece is not exclusive to Comic Con and will be available online to non-attendees beginning July 25th

I was actually hoping for a 3PO to go with my R2... and since it was not a Mcquarrie... I passed ...

I would have loved the oddity of a a concept Falcon by McQuarrie, which would have actually been the Tantive...

That would have been cool.

Good god, I thought this line died but ACME comes through with a C-3PO prototype sketchplate.  8)

Long awaited Sketchplate! (http://threads.rebelscum.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=3317990&Main=3317770#Post3317990)

I may get it to go with R2... probably the only reason to get it.

I want this one to go with my R2.  If anybody gets #359 and is willing to sale it (or trade if I get a C-3PO) please let me know.  I think it would be cool having the same collection number of these two.

From the SDCC ACME booth, not sure what this is. Seems to be a fair size, might be just a large proto. Looks cool tho.

Rumor is it'll be high dollar.  I really want it but I don't think i can afford too much.

Saw this posted from a member at RS who picked one up at SDCC, limited to 1000.

So we only got a small number of the TIE Fighter plates in for SDCC, but the balance of them will arrive to us in a few weeks. Keep an eye on CharacterKey.com as we plan on putting them up there the week of August 10th!

Acme could release some realistic plates from saga characters, apart from the animated series they have been selling.
