That's a good point Jared.  That stand seems pretty useless, it's so small and insignificant. 

Obviously, we don't want something that distracts from Vader himself, but the stand should somehow match that grandness.  Even if it was more like a floor, rather than just a stand; I'm not sure what exactly it needs to be better.

Welcome.  I think you'll find there's a good group of people on this board, so enjoy!

It was shipped on Feb 17th and according the the tracking it moved at a steady pace and it was not sitting long waiting to be cleared.

Well sure, they knew some crazed SW fan was waiting at the other end!

Congrats on finally receiving it.  Any pictures yet of Han next to Luke?  They should be a nice set.

Since I'm a member of HyperSpace (a Christmas present from family), I should be getting the 4 passes which I will gladly donate to the JD.com "Help a Brother Out" foundation to help some poor beer-swilling Canadian get in early or something...

Yep, I can do that as well, assuming they actually send me the buddy passes that is, and don't screw it up somehow...

You guys are beautiful man, just beautiful. (and no, it's not the beer talking... I'm at work dammit)

That's the funny thing about Midnight Madness, and "April 2nd" in general... You tend to forget there's gonna be plenty of it to go around for months to come.   :P

I sure hope you're right.  My Canuckian mentality is that if I see it now, I probably won't see it tomorrow, so I'd better buy it now.  I'd like to think that this will be different for ROTS, but the past years of paranoia are simply too strong to wait.    :-\

So this is the set of 10 you got, right Jesse?



Exactly.

What's the deal with the "description papers"?  That guy's site says you can get all 10 different papers for an extra $2.50.  Are there really 10 different ones?  What'd you get?  Did they come packaged in any way?  Individually, or as a set?  Can't recall...

Like shown in the link Dale posted (thanks by the way  :)), all of the description papers are the same on one side, and then on the other side have individual descriptions for each figure they came with.  I only received one paper (Darth Laser), but since all of the writing is in German anyway I wasn't too worried about getting them all.

Also, is this landspeeder the same scale as these figures?




I can't remember where I read it, possibly in the Rebelscum section on these Hippos, but I believe the landspeeder is the same scale as the figures.

And lastly, can someone remind me WHY I "need" these again?   :-\

Because they're so damn cute!  Come on, they've got chick magnet written all over them.  What woman could resist a man who has a miniature hippo who's posed like Yoda.  I mean really, what kind of question is that?   ;D

But seriously (sort of), I think they're cute, and like you said earlier, they are a finite collection that takes up very little space.  I really have no plans to collect the rest of the various items, although like Dale said, that diorama is pretty sweet.

One of those gold and silver Sandtroopers went for $1550US on eBay - A steal of a deal!   :(

Hippo Diorama

Listing price was ~$26US or ~$35 CDN - it was very tempting!   ;)

Revenge of the Sith / Toy Fair exclusive Press Kit with figures

That $2,000 nutjob aside, it looks like we've got our first real indicator as to what the market value's gonna be on the Press Kit, as there's another one up on eBay now, sitting at $600 with 13 bids and 6 days remaining.  Hell, at that pace, $2,000 isn't too far a stretch...   :-\


How's this for blackmail:

This item will NOT be relisted if not sold.

Create a little bit of panic, and people will bid.

And unfortunately, I can't check out the Gen Con website because it seems to be down right now.  Doh!   :(

Yeah, I let my membership lapse too, about 2 or 3 months ago.  I had no need for the online content, but now that C3 is getting close (and I'm actually thinking that I could go), I'm starting to get a little nervous that I should have my membership again. 

Maybe I'm just being goofy though.  With so many people lined up, will one hour really make a difference?   ???

How many of you guys and gals that are going to C3 are fan club members?

After checking out the official C3 website, I found the following benefits:
- early admission to convention centre
- exclusive access to fan club lounge
- friends and family passes
- access to reserved hotel rooms (if any are left?)

I'm still working on going to C3, but if I do, do you guys think it's worth becoming a member simply to gain the "benefits" that you get at C3?  How much earlier will you actually be able to get in as a fan club member?

Dave, after you posted those great pics of Vader (thanks again!) in the Toy Fair thread, it got me wondering.  Did the reps there have any idea of any possible changes?  On Sideshow's website, they mention that it is still only a prototype, and subject to change.

Hands down best pics of the Sideshow Vader anywhere, Dave. God I can't wait for that thing.  :)

Agreed, it's great to see what he looks like without the case over him. 

I've got a question for you, but I'll ask it in the Sideshow thread...  :)

Oooooh.  Thanks, Dale, I needed that.  You just convinced me that I did the right thing by ordering that Vader statue.

At 20" tall, that beauty is almost as tall as me!  (I'm not kidding, I'm still waiting for my growth spurt...   :'()
