Sideshow Premium Format Figures

[Morgbug]

I wonder if Luke represents a move into ESB figures for a while. If so, I'd obviously like to see Fett. But I'd be very curious about how a Hoth Han might look.

Snowtrooper?

[SilverZ]

That too.

Well other than 3PO, R2 a Stormtrooper and chewbacca all of the main ANH charachters have been done.  I'd rather see a new charcter than another han etc. though.
Obviously this luke looks great but I do afterall already have a Luke and will probably be tempted to off load my tattoine Luke as I don't really see the need for 2 1/4 scale Lukes in my collection. The same would probably apply if they released a new Han etc. I'd only have the best of the 2 as these are very expensive pieces to be having 2 different variants of one charcter.
No doubt we'll see a Jedi Luke in the future (next year?)... exclusive will be the cape he wears in Jabbas Palace.... you heard it here first.

I now see Luke as more of an accessory piece to Yoda. It's a great way for SS to introduce Yoda to the line, and, at the same time, give us a memorable scene from the film.

I don't think we'll have to worry about another Han soon (unless they give us one from ROTJ with Wickett hugging his leg or something).

My wallet just leaped out the window in panic.

Great news.  Thanks again for buying this for me Dale.   

Well it looks like your not going to get my Premium Format Grievous Figure Jeff, I just received an email from SideShow. 

Sideshow's credit card policy is that the name and address on the credit card must match the name and delivery address of your order, unless it is sent to your place of business in care of yourself.  For Fraud Protection purposes, our Credit Card Policy requires all shipments to be sent only to the account holder's billing or business address.

I have 5 business days to reply with my new information to have it sent up here or I loose out on it. Yikes, the shipping on this plus any dutys is going to kill me. 

Stay tuned folks. 

[Morgbug]

If you're trying to have this sent to a U.S. address, you can contact your bank/credit card issuer to have a secondary delivery address added to your credit card.  Just be sure they understand it is a secondary address and they need to retain your primary address for other deliveries and billing.  I've done this with my Visa and have Jim/chuckles in Minneapolis for my U.S. shipping addy.  Few retailers would ship there without adding his address to my credit card. 

All it takes is a phone call and about 10 minutes.

I will give my CC company a call Brent & will see what they can do. Thanky kind sir.   

[SilverZ]

Has anyone received their Grievous Exclusive version yet? Mine finally looks to be arriving tomorrow. That seemed to take quite a while.

[DSJ™]

Well Visa shot me down a few days ago for a secondary delivery address, something in the paperwork of my refinancing a short time ago so last night I emailed Sideshow & made an ajustment & today I recieved a confirmation email & tracking number.

I saw this statue at C3 & my jaw hit the floor so I could not pass this up, been a long time waiting & that wait will soon end. 

If there is any damage to it, I can send it directly back to Sideshow for a replacement without going the other route I was going to use.

Grievous should hopefully be here sometime next week. 

Jared, did yours arrive & if so what do you think of it? 

[DSJ™]

My Grievous just arrived, pays to be at home sick. 

Damn, that is one huge ******* box!
