I agree. It's the same as having clean Sandtroopers. The dirt gives them a story. And the story of the two dirty droids on Tatooine is kind of famous around here I believe
How does the clean look not tell a story? Yeah the droids get dirty along the way, but all of that is washed off for the celebration on Yavin.
Can't wait for my clean droids to show up, as well as my clean 3PO bust ( but I'm not holding my breath for that one any time soon lol).
I think what he means is that a weathered look adds character to the piece.
It's like owning a vintage watch. I found my uncles old watch in a drawer. I had it cleaned, tweaked and fixed. But I asked the watchmaker to leave the glass on it. Despite the fact that it had a lot of scratches. They tell a story...
Oh, here I am... telling my anecdotes like an old man...

^^^^^Very true. To each his own. I've loved the whole saga ever since I was little. The main thing that pulled me in and had me so intrigued were the droids. I really want them in their shining glory, almost as a trophy for my collection.

I wasn't knocking the Cleans either. They are a masterpiece in thier own right. I just wish I could afford both. lol

I've gone back and forth on which I like better for quite some time now. While the clean droids are cool because you can place them wherever you want due to the separate bases, I have decided I MUCH prefer the look of the weathered droids on the desert base.
I doubt I'll order them, but I feel this look is best suited to represent them in the SW original trilogy. Just my opinion.

Honestly I want which ever version with the lower ES. But I like both the way they look.
Honestly, Not me. I like the Weathered better. ES matter not in this situation.

I'm not knocking the clean version either.
I think one would be lucky to have either in their collection.
Just saying, weathered version works for me.

I think I may like the weather version a bit more, but then I like shiney things so I would still have to choose the chrome versions because I want to see them shine in the light. It would be my only sparking statue
I can see why some prefer the clean, but the original movie is my primary love collectables wise with a focus on the Tatooine section. I love the Sandtroopers, Dewbacks, Jawa's, Tuskins and all the awesome cantina aliens. It's so easy to build a huge collection just around those. Dirty droids fits that bill precisely.
Still regretting not getting the Tusken PF when I had the chance.

Thanks. Already watching the complete figure (not sure I want one missing a gaffi stick). Waiting on a reply for shipping to Aus. That tends to be the killer. Plus the fact I had to pay the droids up front.

Didn't want to kick you in the balls buddy! Just as DarthChrisDK said, it gives them a story
The droids began their adventure relatively clean,every spot of dirt has some kind of story around it. That's why I prefer the normal release

I watched the count going down for the ex version and couldn't care less because I love the dirty look.. I can relate with them much more somehow.
As from flipper perspective.. I should have got them... but never thought of doing that problem is its nice to leave that to someone who really want it for themselves to keep.. but Im sure flippers were jumping on that as well..
aaaaanyway... if I could afford them.. I would go with the reg version anyway

The dirty ones have a much more realistic and world weathered look imo. Immaculate clean droids look like something hasbro or kotobukiya would put out.
It's easy to be happy with the dirty droids when you have no chance at getting the exclusive
Can't blame people for looking on the bright side!
Nah, I really follow a lot of the opinions floating around here.

I had the exclusive version but decided to cancel...the droids on one single base is how they should be. Also, being that I am strictly OT, the dirty version just felt right. Everyone has their preferences.
