that thing is not even sideshow exclusive and the edition size hasnt announced also.

800.00 for a piece that is not exclusive, i'll pass.

I think the edition size is depending on how many people place their order.

Good luck and congrat to those who ordered them.

I actualy expected this to qualify for free shipping like other items in that price range...bummer :banghead:

On the bright side, no plastic :buttrock: Though I hope the "foam" isnt as cheap as it sounds...

The bike is cast in heavy-weight polystone and white metal, and is mounted on a sturdy support rod. The body of the biker scout is cast in high-density foam, and incorporates several points of articulation so that you may adjust the pose and attitude of the trooper's head and arm. The trooper is costumed in a real fabric body glove, then finished with polystone and metal armor elements. The display base is cast in heavy-weight polystone

They are popbably still working on the base, that's why they didn't show on the product page. I don't think there will be another version. But like I always says, with Sideshow, ya never know!

Sorry, but the Scouts have always been my least favorite of all the Empire soldiers. I always thought that logically the blinder style helmets they wear would prevent proper peripheral vision necessary for driving such a fast vehicle in a thick forest and aesthetically their armor made them look a bit chunky. :confused2

They should throw in a change'o arm so you could switch from shooting to just holding the steering wheel with both hands, since the head is also posable.........and there charging $800 with no free shipping!

SolidLiquidFox
06-08-2007, 08:04 PM
The free shipping is the one thing that might have saved the sure to come wave of cancellations. Sideshow could have played this one a bit better:

1. Sideshow is banking on the buzz this created at the Convention.
2. They state the price and everyone rolls their eyes but accepts it because how elaborate and ambitious the piece is.
3. People are reasonable to the use of some ABS because of how impressive this thing is.
4. A low ES is hinted at with a PPO date and time.
5. Preorder goes up with a TBD ES with no free shipping. No website streamlining.
6. Retailers are offering this at about $100 less with no sales tax for those in CA.
7. 9 hours later, there is no sell out.

I don't believe that they have reached 500 preorders yet. I recall the Darkness PF Ex lasting almost a week after they obviously adjusted the ES. I know is not SW and not the same price but certainly the same level of hype for a piece after a convention.

This thing will remain available all the way through the next newsletter it seems...

misbitski

Just because these forums are ablaze with people saying they bought one doesn't mean the ES is high. Not everyone is jumping at the opportunity to spend $800 on a statue, regardless of what it is. I think the bronze vader was up for a while because of the high price. I remember casually seeing it on their site and checking the price just out of curiosity.

I cancelled my SS order and placed it with Alter Ego. I've had good luck with them in the past. Fireside is presold out now.

"Hi Everyone,

In regards to all of the email inquiries we received regarding the Sideshow Premium Format Biker Scout statue. Here is my official statement on it.

We will not have this item available for preorder. Sideshow is allocating all dealers only 1 piece of this item. At least that is what they told me and I would have to assume there is no favoritism and all dealers will only get one. Sideshow is saying due to the heavy allocations on this piece. So I guess they are not making as many as people thought. I respect their decision since it's their item and if they do allow us more than the 1 piece, we will put it up for preorder.

If anyone has any questions, let me know. My apologies that we were not able to provide this piece to any of our clients.

Of course, I don't know what the final edition size will be on the Speeder Bike, but it seems logical to compare it to another piece that's similar in style/intricacy/price... have a great weekend everyone, looks like this is sold out now.

I arrived late to the party. I was busy taking pictures of my Alien Warrior 1/1 bust which arrived from the UK with one of the pipes in his back broken! This and THREE damaged Attakus pieces in the space of two days! Terrific luck, like they say when it rains, it pours. Anyway I just secured a PF Bikerscout at BBTS, maybe the last one they had because it's now "sold out" there as well.

Or try retailers, it's $100 cheaper, and more so if they include shipping and tax. Could be closer to $200. And you pay Cali tax too from SS.

i can't seem to find an e-tailer still selling this.

You`ve done the right thing. Signing up to the wait list at this point is by far the best option. If Sideshow decide to go with an exaggerated edition size and the piece does become more readily avaliable due to this through retailers, then simply cancel the wait list.

good deal.

What I don't get is why most e-tailers get allocated just 1. If Sideshow do decide to go with an exagerrated edition size, would most e-tailers get more of these then ? Why not have more in the first place ?

I'm guessing there is only about 650 or 750 of these bad boys to go around.

750 x $ 800 = $ 600,000 :eek:


I just hope they don't show more great statues in upcoming conventions.:redface:

Trilogy

No one knows for sure why they are only allocating 1 per retailer. You can only assume that this is due to the edition size being low (fingers crossed.)

If retailers do end up with more to distribute, it will be due to the fact that Sideshow got carried away with the edition size and by doing so end up with large quantities filling their shelfs.

Why SS hasn't made a stand alone Imperial Trooper or Clone Trooper of some sort is beyond me. They really need to do a better job of mixing up their character choices in both the PF and 12" SW lines IMO. I mean it is called Star Wars for a reason. The saga revolves around intergalactic wars which are fought by soldiers. So give us some Troops SS. :stick:

To be honest, if SS do make stand-alone Troopers PF, I may cancel the Speeder Bike because if Sideshow is using the Gore group to do Troopers, you know it will be in some kind of kick ass pose :buttrock:

I canceled my preorder from SS and am sticking with the somewhat cheaper one from another vendor. At an ES of 1500, I don't think they'll be allocating vendors to one each like previously thought. If so, then I guess I get to save $750 for some other statues :)

They done that backwards in the past (Spidey Classic and Grey Hulk PFs). They increased the ES but I haven't heard of reducing the ES.
