Ordered.

Be cool if they revisited some olded vintage collection figures... would love. Re-release of The Old Republic trooper and Malgus.

 

[Captain Clown]

They said there'll be a good amount of repacks, so I hope they give people who missed the rare figures a second chance.

Sail Barge is at 1,966!

Ephant Mon never saw a 2nd release, but he's not going for crazy money on ebay. He's pretty affordable

The Sail Barge is at 1994, so by the end of this week we may be near the halfway point.

I imagine the first two weeks will be much stronger (as word spreads) then a slump, then a surge of last minute stragglers. I don't think the past 10 days' pace will continue for the next few weeks - most who would buy this have heard of it by now and placed their order. It's everywhere online.

The hard part is going to be next week and the week after.

Just thought of another item I wanted back in the day - a better scaled Endor Bunker.

Probably most of my figure wants came from ROTJ aswell, t'was my favourite of the OT to collect toys from. Despite Empire being the best film there's only 2 focus areas for figures - echo base and cloud city, and cloud city was never really going to be filled out, its backgrounders mostly aren't toyetic. ROTJ has Jabba's palace, the Carkoon battle, the Home One briefing room and hangar bay scenes, endor troopers, ewoks and Imperials.

We've hit the 2,000 mark!

Still a long way to go.

Past 2000 backers now (2014). Still a long way to go but achievable.

Love the sig Tee-Kay.

Thanks. I might change soon. Things have cooled down significantly for some time now. Will save it though as it might come handy later in may/june with a slight sign update

Would love to support and own the barge but realistically I have nowhere to put it.

 

[a-dev]

It'd go on top of my wardrobe. It'd finally be a motivator to sort through the junk that's up there now. There wouldn't be space for a full Pit of Carkoon display up there though and that of course would be the dream.

 

[TaliBane]

The barge would be a nightmare in terms of dust with all the little panels and the top deck (sails would be easy enough.) Don't think a glass/plexi case that size would be cheap though.

 

[Johnny6666]

Preach it, brother!

 

[GRIFF13]

I'm in Canada so can't pre-order this! So now what?!?! How dare you!

 

[Captain Clown]

I love Retroblasting. He's got some excellent points about this whole thing, especially about the decline in Star Wars toy sales.

I really wish this would've received a regular retail release. It'll be sad if this doesn't happen.

We're at 2,076 now with 34 days to go, so we're slowly getting there.

My guess is that it will internationally (the same way many 1/6 SW figs are exclusive to Sideshow's online store and sometimes with free shipping, but internationally sold in various retailers/etailers.) The shipping is going to be too complicated and expensive otherwise.

Nice group pic of the upcoming TVC Wave 1:

 

[Captain Clown]

It's weird how there's still no word on the price for these. I assume they'll be in the $12.99 range, like the Walmart Black Series figures, but I don't think they've officially said anything.
