Apparently you cannot get on the waitlist on sideshow if you already purchased one…

No once you go to WL, you get one only and then you’re locked out unless they post more stock.
Tho I’m not sure if you had a successful PO of your can/can’t get on WL. I’d guess no.

DCFett is correct.

Waitlist means the item is now limited to one per household. Your preorder that arrived counts as that one.

So you can’t get on the waitlist since you’ve hit their current limit.

If it comes in stock then it may go back to the previous limit of six, so you could get up to five more.

from SSC?

Yup!

Also can double confirm (is that a thing?) that it's the Coruscant Guard body.

@freeze320 Beautiful shots! I love the super clean clone, no striping or markings--thanks for sharing!

Very cool freeze!
Such a versatile Trooper, and pairs nicely with many different characters though out the PT and early Empire era's. Especially if you have any BB members in the collection.

Looks terrific! Can’t wait for mine! I’m sure we will get a bunch of variations of this one.

Got invoiced and paid for my 2 from 1/6 Kit.

Still on the fence for a second. Just gotta find the good deal.

Still on the fence for a second. Just gotta find the good deal.

I’m in the same boat. I wasn’t that interested when this was announced and figured I’d just grab one easily because all the clones have been hanging around- plus it was part of that 5 figure drop and, because I always pay upfront, I didn’t want to go all out for everything all at once.
Should have just put a deposit down…

Turns out, this is the clone design I’m most affectionate towards due to all the years of playing old Battlefront on PS2.

I say get off that uncomfortable fence and commit. Same advice I’m going to give everyone in this thread.

One won’t do. No one is going to regret getting another but they will regret passing.

Don’t think there’ll be good deals on these and they’ll be up there in price sooner than later. So if you have a lead, I’d just take it.

They definitely short ordered/produced this batch of figures in response to those past figures hanging around.

I do believe you’ll have a shot at getting them though m. I’d just jump on it when you do.

Best of luck.

I NEED this guy to be my next order.
FOMO here.
love the Phase 1.
Such great memories of AOTC at the cinema.

Get an preorder in as soon as you can, OGK. More and more people are going to be looking at your supply once the FOMO and panic sets in.

 

[Joe Prince]

Spoke to a guy in HK that had theses. He said stock was pretty low.

 

[Chopper Face]

I have the FOMO but the price is already unreasonable everywhere. This is the only time I've seen a figure priced cheaper in the UK than from TBA. I ain't paying £260 for one of these so I'll wait it out or not get one.

 

[Deinonychus]

Most figures go for a bit under retail soon after release in HK, this figure has been selling for way over retail. Even on the first release day, as if it was known they were gonna be rare.

They have to know that army-builders exists or at the least people like me just get 2. How can this be so scarce? The mold is already there, or at least close to it (don't want to start another accuracy war). I got one on waitlist converted, but I just want one more!

Just order another from Popcultcha. That's what I did.

Figure was likely under produced/under ordered. It was also pushed up in the production schedule. They also don’t view the figures the same way we do. It’s just about the numbers.

The molds are there but they don’t have unlimited production capacity or resources to just keep churning out the same figure. They’ve got to move on to the next figures.

Especially when they’ve made a bunch of Trooper figures already that didn’t sell nearly as well as anyone hoped. Which is not this figure’s fault; just bad timing.
