1/6 Hot Toy - MMS612 - Episode VI - ROTJ: Scout Trooper and Speeder Bike

[MyenShi]

I meant overseas retailers getting it first. Ahsoka was receiving onboxing vids on YouTube while my order from SS was still up in the air.

If you mean the stores in Hong Kong (some of which are authorized dealers, some are just resellers) then that’s normal like Mr.Tanker said.

Figures release there first since that’s where Hot Toys is. Been that way forever.

The YouTube reviewers will do everything they can to get the figures ASAP from their supplier, intermediary, or a Hot Toys store over there for the views.

That’s not a good metric to base when Sideshow will ship since the US spec figures are separate.

Yeah, all Hot Toys figures are released in the asian markets at least a month (or two) before the western markets. It's always been this way. Sideshow is the western distributor, but they have to wait for Hot Toys to proved the shipments for their market.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yes, a long time has this been.

Version 1 have you missed... but version 2 is usually better.

With version 2, they usually fix the Tom Cruise look of the head sculpts, too. (Yeah, it's there, under the helmet...)

Looks like my shipping is charging today. Problem is, I'm away on holiday for the next week from Friday.

 

[Fuzzy Pickles]

Mine is charged today and listed as shipping today too. Once in hand, I can decide if I need a second for Luke and Leia to ride.

 

[Mr.Tanker]

Mine is scheduled to ship out tomorrow, and I am very much looking forward to seeing this in hand. Everyone's pics and videos look great.

Both in stock at sideshow. I just ordered the set. Also, anyone know how to save those QR codes to your account?

Depending on your phone, just take a picture of it and it should ask you if you want to go to the website. Then you can save it in your promo codes

Or none at all.

Time to make use of those QR codes - $50 off ain't too shabby.

That's a nice savings 10% off of the Scout and Bike set. Works on the single Scout as well.

 

[BurningRage]

Waiting for a 15% coupon for a delayed order to get another speeder bike set.

 

[Mike86]

Tempting. Wonder if it’ll get a shipping discount eventually as well.

 

[daywalker74]

Received mine yesterday from Sideshow. Beautiful piece, IMO! Feels like you get your $500 worth, since the vehicle is included.

 

[TonTon]

So tempting to get a second with the discount code but I feel like that will complicate things in terms of the display.
