I'm definitely going to get this one, hope they give him the pauldron though. ;D

Btw anyone know how much SS points are worth? I have 240 points right now. :)

Thanks, so that means I'd have a discount of $12, not much, but it's something.

I'm glad SSC is doing another EU figure, maybe we'll get a Mara sometime in the future?

Can you use your points for pre-orders?

Does his big ass chair (http://www.jeditemplearchives.com/swexperience/sdcc09/setup-ssc/pages/02ssc12-037.html) come with him or is will it be an add on accessory?

It sounds like the "with chair" version will be the Sideshow exclusive (and yes, at a much higher price point).  It will be similar to the way they did the "Toht with Polystone Ark" exclusive edition or "Belloq with Fertility Idol stand" exclusive edition sets they had.

Neat, I'll pass on this one, but if they do a ROTJ Palpatine with Throne I think I'd have to bite on that one.  :P

I think I read somewhere on the Sideshow FAQ's that you can, but I've never tried it  :P.

Can you pre-order him at Comic-Con?

If you can I'm going to when I go on Sunday.  :)

He's a nice figure and the chair looks great but $144 for a chair, are they ******* kidding? ::)

It is sideshow afterall.

These are easy passes for me.

Wow seriously SS  :o??

I was expecting around $150 for the figure and chair, but I guess I was wrong. He also looks kind of plain since they didn't add the gold plates on his shoulders. If they add the plates I'll probably buy him, but right now he doesn't seem worth the money. Oh well... :-\

I really, really wanted the throne version until I saw how huge and out of proportion it was. And then I saw how huge and out of proportion the price tag was, too. No thanks, regular version for me!

Title: Re: Sideshow Grand Admiral Thrawn 12" Figure
Post by: JediJman on July 23, 2009, 07:28 PM
Wow.  Cool figure, but I'm going to pass at those prices.  The $80 version is sort of tempting, but that'll be close to $100 when all is said and done.   :P

What is the chair made of for it to be that expensive gold?  It does look nice though.  Maybe if they ever get to an Emperor from ROTJ a throne chair will be included.

Polystone - like there premium format and Enviroama products.

Polystone. Terrible idea - should have used plastic.

Does anybody know when this will be shipped? One of my sort of local toy stores is pretty good about getting Sideshow stuff and I may have to bite on this if they do get it.
Title: Re: Sideshow 12" Grand Admiral Thrawn
Post by: Matt_Fury on August 29, 2009, 03:54 AM
4th Quarter '09.  Last time I got a SS figure that shipped in the 4th Quarter was the Old Ben Kenobi and it shipped shortly before Christmas.

Sideshow certainly does a better job than Hasbro every did, but sometimes their stuff is still a little lack luster. This is not one of those pieces. This was mighty impressive to look at in person.
Title: Re: Sideshow 12" Grand Admiral Thrawn
Post by: JediJman on September 28, 2009, 03:56 PM
Did anyone here order one?  I'm a little bummed that I didn't jump on it, but hoping it doesn't sell well and I can get it for less at some point.   :-\

I ordered the regular version. Will probably pick up a fan-made throne, later.

No, but there is a hobby shop in in Eagan that gets these in and so I'm hoping they may have it now so I can see it in person and.........

Mine should be here right now, but I was too cheap to order one.   :P

My Grand Admiral Thrawn arrived today.  He looks really cool, although I do wish I had the command chair.  I just couldn't justify the price.
Title: Re: Sideshow 12" Grand Admiral Thrawn
Post by: Angry Ewok on January 5, 2010, 04:21 PM
I canceled the entire thing, based on price... I bet I find him for $40-50 shipped, eventually.

I picked up the basic version for $80 yesterday at a local hobby shop.
Title: Re: Sideshow 12" Grand Admiral Thrawn
Post by: Angry Ewok on April 6, 2010, 10:03 AM
$80 ain't bad for a local hobby shop. I'm still holding out on this guy to show up on eBay...

There is something about the head sculpt on this figure - the jaw looks too pronounced and to me smacks of a Hasbro 12" figure vs. a Sideshow offering.
Title: Re: Sideshow 12" Grand Admiral Thrawn
Post by: Matt_Fury on April 7, 2010, 01:27 AM
Might just be the pictures,Jayson.  I have him up on my Sideshow shelf and he looks just fine.

The chair looks like emperors Palpatine in potf2 tri pack, perhaps a model for an upcoming Thrawn with chair for the 3 3/4 inches scale.
Title: Re: Sideshow 12" Grand Admiral Thrawn
Post by: Jayson on May 17, 2010, 12:20 AM
I think the ship has sailed for Hasbro's Thrawn (http://www.yakface.com/TGuide2004/html/TLC/comicpacks/thrawn_talon.html) getting his own command chair, but a great alternative to the Cinema Scene 3-pack chair is the Hallmark Emperor Palpatine ornament from 2008.

Got an email notice that Brian's Toys is offering $15 off a $75 purchase.  Their prices are silly on most items, but I found a 12" Thrawn for $79.99.  All together it was $75 shipped, which is a pretty good deal.

Promo code is SAVE15
