In-store only. The 50% off sale was unprecedented. I got Vaughn, Bo-Katan and they threw in a free Spider-Man light box for USD 205.

Read through the last few pages mate. Also, did Iconiq imply this couldn’t happen, or did they say they’d tested thoroughly for months without any cracking issues? Think it’s important to get the facts straight.

Because 1 owner has kept his figure in suboptimal conditions and has had slight cracking? Doubt it. What does ‘it is what it is’ mean anyway?

Several available brand new for about USD 385 in Hong Kong. No interest in it myself.

So people are selling a favorite figure because 1 person has had issues with slight cracking? I won’t do that but it feels like this line is faltering in terms of releases. Ken has been a year since pre-order with no updates for ages, is he not just the same body as Ryu? And I heard Lord Turel...

No thanks, prefer the apparently much-maligned CW version. This face looks like his Mum just caught him spying on his sister through the toilet door keyhole. He looks….self-loathing.

This was my thinking, it was 413 v 267 dollars and I didn’t see that much of an upgrade with the artisan in this case. And that’s retail prices, the artisan either come with a premium on top of that or join a massive queue.

Thanks Gipetto. From what I can tell the artisan is $413 retail in HK. I’m good with the deluxe for $267, big price difference and far less hassle.

How much is the Artisan? There’s a long queue at secret base full of old grannies, it was the same with the arena Boba release. This stuff is a real money maker for these old people and their pimps, I’m not joining a queue and no chance I’m paying the granny premium. Deluxe looks fine to me.

The extra wait'll be worth it if they're throwing in bonus fireworks and a mushroom as they did with Gandalf.

Meanwhile at echo base they are selling several decent figures brand new for half price, so about 100 USD each. Hunter, Echo, Bo-Katan, Quill, Koska, Grand Inquisitor, Vaughn among them.

Dunno why folk get caught up in this kind of nonsense. I doubt they’d sell 1500 of this figure if it was just a normal pre-order release.

I can’t see the touted 1/6 sandworm happening, it would come in at about 60 meters long and they’ll recognize that many collectors are already short of space now. I’m not fussed about the Part 2 Atreides look, this looks great and I’m thinking of ordering a standard for the hooded look, on top...

Looked really good to me the proto in person, a couple of photos don’t put me off the face and I wasn’t going to order it originally, but both her and Baylan look great. Rest of the Ahsoka line I happily skip.

Já i preordered this and Baylan, having just seen them in the flesh. Changed my mind as they look really good. The young Ahsoka and Mando trooper on the shelf under them didn’t grab me at all though, so it’ll just be Shin/Baylan from this show. Suppose they weren’t the worst characters.
