Zurb had his Sideshow LOTR quest and I think it may be time for me to start my Attakus Star Wars quest.

At this time I do not own 1 Attakus statue so this would be a huge undertaking.

Any thoughts? Any help? I know its nuts but I just have Star Wars fever right now.

Any thoughts? Any help? I know its nuts but I just have Star Wars fever right now.

I had the Emperor and 2 Royal Guards at one point. These are REALLY nice pieces, but are getting pricey and take up a lot of space. I decided to sell them since the Gentle Giant pieces were coming out and I was never going to spend the money on getting the entire Attakus line. You certainly can't go wrong with them. I don't think this stuff will cost anywhere near what Zurbs LOTR addiction cost, so at least you have that going for ya

I hope it doesn't cost me what it cost Zurb. It seemed like the poor guy ended up selling a kidney to help cover the costs. I don't want to part with what I have to fund the quest. I need to do my homework and figure out the going prices and get a complete list of what's been released.

I've been purchasing, searching and researching the SW Attakus line. On internet stores and on ebay. Be advised that I have been watching/bidding/following ebay auctions for almost 2 month now, so the prices and info I will give ya are very up to date. :)
First, let me list the gategories in the SW Attakus line:

****Category 1(The Holy Grail)****
In this category are the more expensive and more difficult to find. Not to mention they look marvelous as statues. The statues bellow are in this list:

* Darth Vader I :
This one it's, IMO, the BEST SW Attakus statue(and the best statue I have). Expect to pay between $1200 to $1500 on this statue in mint/bn condition with COA/Box.

* Yoda I :
$650-$1000

* Boba Fett:
$630 to $1000

* StormTrooper:
$600 to $1000

* Darth Vader II :
$750-$1000

* R2-D2:
$450-$600

* Royal Guard:
$500-$750

* C3PO:
$400-$550

* Jabba the Hut:
$850-$950

* Darth Maul:
$600-$800


****Category 2(The Holy Grail wannabees)****

This category are the statues that are less expensive, but not so much. Great chance to go even higher in price since some of these characters will also play important roles on the next SW movie ROTS.

* ChewBacca:
$350-$440

* Emperor Palpatine:
$340-$450

* Han Solo:
$320-$390

* Jango Fett:
$280-$350

* Obi-Wan:
$300-$360

* Clone Trooper:
$280-$340

* Han Solo on Carbonite:
$240-$300

* Yoda II:
$300-$380

****Category 3(The more common ones)****

Those are less expensive, easier to find statues. Some of those looks just as good as the more expensive and more difficult to find statues, but not in very high demand at the moment.

* Slave Leia:
$200-$230

* Padme Amidala:
$240-$280

* Jawa:
$180-$200

* Luke Skywalker:
$190-$250(PS: I'm not a fan of this one )

* Salacious Crumb:
$150-$180

* Salacious plus Pipe:
$290-$340

PS: All prices listed are based on mint/new statues, with their boxes and COA's.

The best advice I can give ya it's something I couldn't have done myself: Go slow!
Or you will end spending a LOT(and trust me, once you see some of those Attakus SW statues in front of you, you will get hook'd).
Also, research, research and research. If you are a wise buyer, you can buy some of those for very good prices(NOT cheap, but good priced enough to make you feel like you made a very good deal. And will help saving money for future purchases).
After the ROTS release on may 19th, will be a very bad time to buy those, since some of them(or all of them) will probably be priced much higher. So try to grab some now and then wait a little for the hype to go down.

I started to collect them recently. I already got : Vader 1, Vader 2, Darth Maul, C3P0, R2D2(didn't arrive yet), Obi-Wan, Yoda 2, Chewbacca, Emperor Palpatine and Han Solo. I may get Boba and the StormTropper down the road, if I can help myself and not buying when I find one!
Some I got from ebay, one got directly from Attakus(Yoda 2, they have the best price around and you get a full color Attakus catalog), others from a person in this board, but based on the market value on those, I know I picked them at their lowest selling points, which makes me feel good about my purchases. If you have patience, and know when/where to buy, you can do the same. Hope it helps and good luck in your Quest. I couldn't be happier collecting them, even tough my wallet(and some other statues I had to sell) doesn't feel the same.

Actually, Han has the best head sculpt by far....all the way down to the scar on his chin.

here are the postitives and the negatives
They are now selling them in the US and it helps that the prices have come down alot in the past few months, so you can find a lot of rare pieces at resonable prices. With drod getting selling them on comic statues .com you can pick up the new ones with out paying a heavy price.
Negatives if sideshow puts out another verion of the same character knowing you monster you will also but it putting yourself in a further hole.ALso you're wife will kill you with the size of the parcels coming in , you cant hide them !! :buttrock:

I wish I'd known these weren't the cr*ppy glass porcelain when they first started coming out, and it's possible I would have bought. The detailing does look fantastic. However, given the prices of the rarer ones, it's just not worth it, especially when you consider that there are the other lines like GG and now SS that we are buying.

PUBLIC SERVICE MESSAGE. SNIPER POST ANALYSIS

here are the postitives and the negatives
What's a postitive? A Post It note I've gotten from Sniper or could it be a member of the world's oldest profession working for statues?


They are now selling them in the US and it helps that the prices have come down alot in the past few months, so you can find a lot of rare pieces at resonable prices.

and with just a little more effort you can keep this sentence going on for ever, and ever and ever or a really long time at the worst.


With drod getting selling them on comic statues .com ...
Well we'd be best getting on buying them then.


Negatives if sideshow puts out another verion of the same character knowing you monster you will also but it putting yourself in a further hole.

If this sentence joined forces with that really long one up above, they could take over the world!!!! BWAHAHAHAHA!

verion? Is Sideshow doing a promotion with a phone company?
My money is on Monster if he buts it. He's got a hard head.



ALso you're wife will kill you with the size of the parcels coming in , you cant hide them !! :buttrock:

Question of the day. What is more frightening, Michael Jackson alone in his bed with a few young boys or Sniper alone with a classroom full of impressionable young children? I won't bother putting this one to a poll :laugh:

Thanks cap! I figured someone here probably had done their homework and you have obviously done yours.

Now I just have to take it slow and figure out how/when to begin.

I think I might just start with the Vaders and go from there. Its time to start shopping around.

That's a good move and was exactly what I did. I got the Vader's first, then started to go after the ones I liked.

I have the following and think they look GREAT:

-Darth Maul
-Darth Vader II
-Stormtroopers (two of them)....I have them on both sides of Vader and it looks GREAT.
-Emperor

I just wish they were 1/4 scale to match the other pieces in my collection. They are closer to 1/5 scale.

Keep your eyes open, I may be putting them on ebay soon....not sure though.

Emperor is a nice and heavy piece.

While the face is not perfect, he does look better than the pictures. From 5 feet away, he looks very nice. You have to get very close to notice the face is not perfect.

The pose in his chair is very iconic.

Agree!
I have check the shopstarwars.com again,they were sold out the attakus clonetrooper and chewbacca statue in last few days...I think more and more America people start to collect the attakus line,I have contacted to Brian's toys,and they have only 2 attakus darth vader 2 statue left....(it's a my all time favourite character!!!!!!!)
I think the next hot attakus items are yoda 2 ,jango fett and chewbacca statue,yoda and Chewbacca plays a major role in the new movie,and the jango also a great character in star wars universe....(father of the boba fett and clonetrooper!).
the other great items are gentle giant star wars maquette lines-padme maquette is still very hot on market,and the following will be the obi wan and arc trooper maquettes...
all prices are climbing up....how about these items after the 19-5-05??

Zurb had his Sideshow LOTR quest and I think it may be time for me to start my Attakus Star Wars quest.

At this time I do not own 1 Attakus statue so this would be a huge undertaking.

Any thoughts? Any help? I know its nuts but I just have Star Wars fever right now.

Wait for the new series and get something amaizing for a fair retail price! Sandtrooper, Tusken Raider, Tie Fighter Pilot, Bib Fortuna, etc, etc, etc! Or you can go for the Jawa, I find this little fellow very interesting and at very good price. As you can see I'm planning to get a splash into Attakus too! :thumbs2:

06-12-2005, 03:35 PM

Oh and I have always loved the Jawa as well.

Hi Guys,

As well as some of you guys, I am also in a quest for some Attakus statues. My collection is based only in "bad guys" and so far I have the Emperor and the Royal Guard.
I am now pursuing a Darth Maul and I hope to get one soon.

As a new guy with Attakus, I will like to ask you a acouple of questions:

1) Any of you guys know of a good place to buy Attakus in Germany?
2) Can anyone give me any references of a good seller for Attakus to preorder the new series?

Any help will be appreciate!!!

Congrats...
I am actually contemplating getting a few attakus statues as well. I keep fighting the urge and temptation but it is slowly growing stronger and stronger! I will probably eventually give in to the dark side and order 2 or 3. I don't much like any of the humans faces though.

If you get their Jawa...you will not be disappointed for certain...it's also a moderatly priced piece to "jump in on" so that's a good place to start...be warned...if you start w/ Jawa you may not want to stop...he'll suck you in...I'm being serious...he's such a good representation of their line...he'll make you want more

for all you jawa owners, what is the use for the metal-like wire hanging from his bag to the floor? that seemed strange.

No nothing is broken. I know exactly what he is refering to and when I received my Jawa I was wondered the same thing. Its actually a very thin black piece that hangs off the front of the empty holster and is barely visable in pictures. The gun cable is a completely seperate piece. And for the record I have no idea what the purpose of this piece is but its extremely thin and quite fragile.

Yeah I can see it, but barely, and only because I know where to look. Look at the lowest part of the holster's opening and it starts there. Running vertically down from that point extending past the holster to the bottom of the Jawa's robe. It's black and very thin and blends in with the lines of the robe. Unfortunately it really doesn't look like anything more than a dark line in his robe in that pic.

haha me too, it looks like there is a hole that it comes out of made just for this little black string. maybe when the gun is in the holster the little jawa uses this to tie it down so it dont fall out when hes running around in the sand. cant wait to get home now and check mine for this.
