Those are nice, but I'm afraid to even begin with SW because then I'll need more to complete my set.

 

[Horhay]

They are sold out.

status says pre-order not sold out?

 

[Horhay]

Hmm interesting the sideshow Facebook page had a post with a sold out message.

 

[cooey]

Might be sold out for their SDCC allocation?

 

[Horhay]

It says "hop on the wait list" and the link takes you to the same page as above and it says pre-order. Weird.

 

[Drum18]

750$ and sold out on first day...

 

[Wreck]

Crazy these sold out so fast but I'm sure they will look great. 16" C3P0 .. thats pretty big. Just not big enough for $750

 

[Horhay]

Yeah that is crazy, I bet these figures are super nice, but yeah that price tag is quite hefty.

They sold out of the exclusive version in about an hour. The exclusive version is the "clean" look in the first post. Although Star Wars stuff is always popular, it mainly sold out because they made so few of the "clean" version. The version from the photo above,or the the desert sandy version, is still available. Seeing the new 1/6 C3P0 release reminded me of these.

Would really have liked these 2,but like many the price is a lot of money

My two favorite characters from childhood.
But where is the money when you need it??
Maybe sell the car to own these.

Makes sense that they sold them as a couple...

R2 is $379.99 retail. I have the original release on the Tatooine base, and while R2 may look good on display, it feels super cheap. The paint app is really good though, and the light up feature works well, but the materials used are poor IMO.

I don't really mind about the feeling of it... but damn... $380 US means $600 for me (with shipping, conversion and all).... damn...
