Well, the AMP on the Sideshow site is double the price yet not double the size. Plus you get Weta Dollars, which are at double the rate of Sideshows Reward points. So all in all, it's not that out of the normal, for these days.

A disappointing size, but a great looking piece nonetheless.

Looks amazing but agree on scale. It would have been nice if it were simialr in size to the AMP from Legacy.

Definitely . . . have been doing a bit of 'research' - reports from some of those at the SDCC say it has alot of depth and appears quite a bit bigger that the dimensions and pics suggest ??? Probably a bit of wishful thinking on my part but something AMP or Optimus sized would have been cool . . . but then that would also be well out of my price range.

This image would suggest the dimensions are fairly accurate when compared with the CJ piece, which is listed as 14.2 inches.

Does anyone know exactly how the Weta Dollars work. If I understand correctly, you earn them only once you've been charged (in full) for an item, but you show zero dollars for an item until you've been charged ? Assuming that's correct, I should be able to knock about $150 of the cost of the exo which makes the price alot more pallatable.
Thanks for the pic Trilogy . . . those weapon minatures look cool too

Just like SS, when your order is about to ship, your CC is charged and you then earn 10% of the USD amount for the item (not counting postage).
However, even if you used Weta Dollars to help part pay for something, you still earn your Weta Dollars on the remaining amount that you do pay (other then postage), unlike with SS.
Also, Weta Dollars can be used on just about everything, other then the very high-end, made to order stuff. Also, spend $500USD in any 12 months, so, one Exo-suit statue and then for the next year, you'll earn 15% Weta Dollars.
So basically, Weta Dollars kills SS Reward Points in every way.
