Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?

Well, there you go, and unfortunately there I go. I am not going to be buying any of the newly announced statues at these prices. It will have to be something pretty special for me to pay $600 for a statue.

makes sense ;p

Sand trooper is the last one I'm getting for sure. After that I'll burn my rewards on another one, it just depends which one will get me the most bang for my rewards. I wasn't planning on getting Jango, but with the DRP and Free shipping, not to mention the low price relatively speaking, I may order it. I liked Maul but it's a bit overpriced, same with Kylo.

I'm with ya. I may get a few to burn out Reward Points but it's going to be few and far between. If Sideshow were to include more display options however I'd possibly reconsider my stance. For example, some switch out arms so the rifle could be carried like the pic below might get me to bite. Not only would I and others feel like I we were actually getting more for our money but you'd entice others to buy multiples as you could display a pair of troopers because they wouldn't be in the exact same pose. Seems like a win/win, but what do I know.

Well I'm all for switch outs, and I don't know who these "others" you speak of are, but I don't see myself buying multiples at these prices.

Yeah, I definitely couldn't afford multiples but I know there are collectors that splurge on such things.

I'm just amazed this has come out so far ahead of the movie.

SS, please allow for first character impressions before releasing PO. I either bite and possibly hate the movie or wait, love the movie, and risk not getting the EX. Not coolio.

eh with how long their ex last, even if you have to jump on the fakelist, you may be alright in terms of being able to get an ex after the movie comes out.

edit: oh wow the release date is in December, nvmd you'll be plenty fine no reason to fret :P
