STARKILLER BASE

Welcome to my Star Wars Memorabilia based home theater room. Star Wars is what got me into HT, and now into collecting Star Wars statues, 1:1 busts, and dioramas from Sideshow Collectibles. I update as new product arrives so check back now and then. Thank you for visiting and enjoy:

Are there no US distributors?



Ok, so they don't have any US distributors? I imagine part of the SW license will be making sure us fans in the US get their product somehow.



LOL! Late to the party it seems. Super busy weekend.



Which makes me wonder if XM's SW stuff may be limited to TCW or Rebels. Hmm...

Better late than never! Ha ha. As far as I know, XM doesn't have the distribution rights in the USA which is why it's so difficult to get their product. I thought I heard that they just got distribution rights in Europe, but don't quote me on that. You basically need a contact overseas to get one for you or pay insane amounts on the ebay aftermarket. Which sucks because I really want the Daredevil statue they are making.
 
I did! Agreed, the likeness is the most amazing Luke I've seen. I'm sticking to my guns though, and holding off until HT does some TFA stuff.

Nice! Yeah, flank, flat, or skirt will work. I've been adding a tablespoon of low sodium soy sauce as it cooks, and also use a soy-orange sauce (tablespoon) after I've served it up in a bowl. So good!

I haven't watched it in a couple months, but everytime I do see it, it still has that huge emotional impact. My "Batman Fan" daughter also liked Shannon's performance as Zod, and that was a big highlight for her. No one actor stood out for me. It was all just so good!



OH DEAR GOD YES!!!!!!!! Fully sculpted or mixed media, I'm in!

I hope! I'd like to think that they have lots of plans and show them as they try to get the license from LFL.

There he is!

BigBadToyStore (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/company.aspx?company=1806&browse=1) does carry XM products but they usually sell out right when they go up for order and then flippers usually put them up on eBay right away for thousands of dollars. I'm not an XM guy so I don't know how to find out when they go up for order. www.Simplytoys.com.sg (which I just bookmarked) is a Singapore distributor but they will supposedly ship XM stuff to U.S. customers. Other than that I think the only way to get their stuff is on eBay :ohno:


Well those are the two franchises that Disney doesn't have the movie rights to and I'm guessing XM got licensing through Disney. But XM is making the characters based off the comics so I'm not sure how it all works.

It sucks that all the Marvel movie universe isn't under the same company...Hugh Jackman and Robert Downey Jr. would have been cool to see together.

I would have loved to see Jackman and Downey together in a movie too. To bad the studios can't play nice and let their characters all come together into one movie. At least Sony is making progress by letting Marvel Studios use him in upcoming movies.

Yeah I've never seen an XM product listed as in stock on BBTS. I wonder how they even get the few they have? As far as when XM products go up for preorder, they have it listed on their site: http://xm-studios.com/po-ship-dates.aspx

Looks like Daredevil isn't up until July, maybe they'll have USA distribution rights by then!

Yeah, after a little research, I found out about the UK thing. I've contacted my AD's to see if they can grab stuff like that, so that way I don't have to sit at my computer waiting for PO day, LOL!

Awesome! Will keep the Simplytoys link marked just in case.

I have a feeling LFL will make that a requirement. Not to mention, bigger edition sizes.

Simplytoys is definitely a good backup plan. I'm sure the shipping prices to the U.S. must be crazy high though.

I was just doing some currency conversions and it looks like BBTS can charge up to double what XM's list prices are. I suppose thats still better than what these go for on eBay.

Yeah, I'm not crazy about the prices, but again, it seems like XM is the real deal by real collectors. I don't mind paying more, for a better product not to mention, I think this, and HT's 1/4 stuff, will "Force" SS to step up their game or move on.

Same! Thanks for that link, terp! I now have it saved. :D

XM has got some really cool designs, and really good QC from what I've heard. They also package their stuff way better than SS. I don't know if they are worth a grand or more a pop, but I guess we'll see if what SW stuff they come up with is.

I can't stop looking at that new HT Luke. Man that thing looks so freaking awesome!

I know! But, as much as I want to see HT do a 1/4 scale version of him, I really want to see other characters. So many that they, and other companies, can do, but all seem to be focused on the same thing ATM.

Yeah, I've read about their QC and awesome CS. Looking at their products so far, they look spectacular and so dynamic. Really can't wait to see what they do! I read over on SF where an XM person chimed in that they are waiting on approval for a 1/4 Vader.

BTW, as I said, I had been busy all weekend. While alot of it was out and about, some of it was spent upgrading my lights in my cabinets. Didn't get it all done, as you can see on the end column to the left, but will finish it up soon:

I'm guessing a lot of the price hike comes from the importing costs and then they want to make money on them on top of it. I'm just not used to not having access to something I want as a spoiled American, ha ha.

Yeah I ordered the Luke as soon as it went up yesterday, I figured the exclusives for Star Lord and Marty both wait listed pretty quickly so I better order him just in case. At the very least I'm assuming the ex will sell out before it's coupon eligible anyhow.

Have I mentioned I like your avatar picture? That's pretty badass. Did you make that yourself?

Definitely post pictures when you get it all done! Your collection is one of the great ones where I bet I would just stare at it for hours if I ever saw it in person.

It definitely seems like all these high end companies start out with the ANH characters. And then they'll do all the different versions of those characters from the rest of the OT. They won't show much love for the prequel lovers for quite awhile. I'm still waiting on a nice Qui-Gon from some company lol. But as far as HT 1/4 stuff goes I don't think they are going to crank these out nearly as quickly as their sixth scale stuff. We'll see the main popular characters for sure, but I wouldn't count on a 1/4 Aunt Beru any time soon.

XMs stuff is definitely dynamic. The bases really go with the characters. Good to see they are doing Vader, but lets be honest there is no way a company gets the SW license and doesn't make a Vader lol. It would be really awesome to see him in his meditation chamber.

Can't wait to see some pics! :D

Thanks man! I photoshopped that thing myself in like half an hour LOL.

The shipping prices of XM definitely factor into the price hikes, but a lot of it is just people wanting to pad their wallets because they know people will pay it. BBTS was charging over $1200 for Iron Man Mk VII (n). I think BBTS is more of a reseller than a distributor when it comes to some stuff. They even get items in that are used and they even sell those higher than MSRP at times. I'd probably bet they only get a couple of each XM piece in to sell. If we could get XM to get an actual distributorship here in the US then I could maybe get myself a couple of these things.

Congrats ordering Luke! If their ROTJ version comes out that good I think I'll be getting it.

Congrats on Luke! Best likeness of MH ever!

Yup! I check BBTS all the time for that reason. I know a few times they've gotten in product that I was looking for even though they had been sold out for some time. Still hoping to snag an LSB Maul.

I'd like to see that kind of Vader or Vader from ROTS on the operating table. :D

There's just so much Vader, Boba, Luke, Leia, Han, etc. right now, and I'm sure it is Disney trying to push more towards their movies and TV show, but there are 3 PT movies, a TCW movie, and TCW TV show to make stuff from. Plenty of characters to choose from that will sell.

Whoa! I love it! Awesome job buddy!

So what are the details of the lights? Do they change color and are they wired? The red ones are already inspiring me for a Sith display.

I really like BBTS. Mainly because its located in my state and even if I pick the standard shipping speed I still get the stuff delivered the very next day after I order it :D.

I'd love to see a company mix it up and throw out a Mace, Qui-Gon or a Lando to start things off. Although the Vader on the operating table would make a really awesome display. I'll keep an eye out for a Maul LSB for you. I see them pop up on eBay every now and then for a really good deal. I noticed that SimplyToys had it in stock and I checked the currency conversion and its $233. But I have no idea what shipping would be.

Hmm, I'll have to check it out! Good lookin' out man!

Exactly! Go a different route rather than the Vaders, Bobas, etc. Ahsoka Tano! Hello!!!!

LOL! That's what I liked about TFAW.

Yeah, you can change colors or have it so the colors change on their own. I'll try to get a video up. Yes, they are wired. Tired of having to buy batts ever couple months, ;) Just finished up the last column on the left, and it's all finally done. I wish I took better pics, because it is so much more impressive in person. Anyway, here they are:

Those look freaking sweet! Its awesome that you can get theme lighting for each cube if you want. I'm going to have to look for a new lighting idea for my white Bestas as it looks like Ikea just discontinued the 22" Inreda lights :angry:. Where did you get your new lights from?

Seriously where is the Snips PF lol.

I read a post from SSAlex who said the next SW PF might be shown off in the fall or winter, and she said there could possibly be a second one too. I'm guessing they must be Jango and the Sandy unless they have others they haven't teased yet. Maybe TFA stuff? She also said the Vader LSF will hopefully be up for order at the end of this year or beginning of next. That thing was supposed to be here last freaking summer.

Fall or Winter? LOL! Maybe they'll ship Cody by then too. ;) Yeah, the Vader LSF thing is ridiculous. They should have just stuck with their LSB line rather than try and make these full 1:2 statues or hell even the 1:1 stuff. I bet those just tanked! As much as I hope that we see TFA stuff, I am very prepared to be let down.

The lights are from Barlighting.com. The lights are about 12" strips. I put mine going front to back rather than across. Easier to keep wires from being seen and all that.
 
Sweet lighting Lou! It would be cool to have all the Siths/Empire under red lights and all of the rebels/Jedis under white lighting. However I'm guessing the red lighting kind of washes out the colors on the statues? Especially Darth Talon who is red. So do you have room for all the TFA stuff in your display or room to expand your display?

Oh yeah, we were talking about the Barlighting lights last year. Thats going to be so nice not having to change batteries all of the time.

I still can't believe Cody isn't shipping yet. Its freaking ridiculous. Alex just said that the Mythos pieces were the main reason in the reduction of SW PFs and they are now supposedly ramping up production of the larger scale SW pieces i.e. PFs. But with the McQuarrie stuff coming out I'll believe that when I see it.

I was thinking the same thing with putting all the Siths under the red lights. I'm sure it would wash the colors out, but it would be awesome to do it once in a while.

No, not at all, LOL! I'm tapped out on my room, and need to figure out what is going upstairs in the loft display. I'm currently trying to figure out what to move and what to keep in the room. Most likely, the main characters of the 6 movies and TCW will remain, while EU and secondary characters will move up to the loft. I do have Bestas in the back of the room too where I was going to do an ANH display, but have changed my mind to, again, focus on main characters. Same with repeat characters, those will probably go upstairs.

Thought about that with the lighting, and luckily, I can make it happen with the way the lighting is set up. Just gotta figure out where to put what.

It does wash the colors out a bit, but you can definitely see the character. I'm mostly doing the auto rotating lights so it cycles through all the colors these lights can make in about 30 seconds. Makes for a cool effect. Can also have different sections of cabinets rotate lighting different colors so that sections are all rotating different color options. Plenty to play around with.

Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it too. They sure as hell can't tell me that the Vader LSF delay had something to do with the Mythos line, LOL! Same with PF's. Those are Sideshows trademark product. If someone DID put PF's on the back burner to make way for more Mythos pieces, that was a huge mistake. PF's should always come first.

Batts where costing me a year as much as this one time purchase of lighting. So happy I finally made the change. If you go the Barlighting route, LMK.

Ok, here is a little vid with the light rotation. Was playing SW music in the background, but youtube muted it, LOL! Anyway:



Oh man those are so freaking cool! So are these basically it, plus extra strips? http://www.barlighting.com/11-Strip-Multicolored-LED-Kit-p/11sk-rgb.htm Did you have to drill just one hole for each cube, and do you feel the strips secure safely? The thing I loved the most about the Ikea lights was it had a bracket that you screwed directly into the "wood" and then the light actually snapped into it. Those things won't be going anywhere. When it comes to lighting I'm always overly cautious to make sure they won't fall on my stuff.

I think SS was just trying to make some lame excuse for lack of SW PFs. The bottom line is they are putting most of their efforts into DC and marvel stuff.
