I notice that the end of the gun barrel being sealed, shouldn't the barrel be hollow?![]()
It should be but Sideshow was worried you could go and rob a bank with that rifle

etc., etc.,...
Don't blame them for following the law. Personally, I'd rather follow the law than have some dumb kid shot by police for aiming my product at them, forcing them to make a self-preservatory, on the spot judgment call to shoot or not. And there are a LOT of stupid kids with incompetent parents out there.![]()
And there is also the Black Pauldron version to look forward to. I am quite sure SSC has that in their lineup for upcoming figures.

This figure has sold out at SSC website. Probably not a very high edition size considering the speed at which it is sold out
I remember the days when 3,500 EX's would sell out iin less than an hour. And this is a STORMTROOPER. Collecting ain't what it used to be.
I am curious just how many they had to sell though. Any guesses? More or less than 3,500?
Well there are 7,500 total normal Stormtroopers so I would think 3500 might be about right.. maybe a tad high but close.
He's popped up on Forbidden planet.co.uk for £89.99, but im gonna wait and get him on Play.com.
production costs. liscensing fees. paying the sculptors. paying the graphic artists. the list is pretty long. not to mention the american economy is in the ^^^^ter right now.
