Blaster is essential to this piece for me. Looking forward to seeing more pics.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

That's BS! I thought they would charge less for the regular, not add onto the EX (I thought the regular would be $540 and the EX $550). Lame. I don't know if I can justify paying $600 for this after shipping.

This company... I swear. Sure it's only $10 but it's the principle. As if the price on these PFs wasn't enough already they gotta start jacking up the cost of Exclusive offerings higher than the regulars now? $560 before shipping is a lot of money for this piece. I really want it but at every step Sideshow makes it harder and harder to keep collecting their product. I'm back on the fence.

That's curious. The last couple of pieces went the other way where the EX was a round number and the regular was the odd.

Prime 1 is charging extra $50 on their big exclusives. It's coming whether you like it or not. the only way to avoid these extra charges is to buy more, but you can probably see how well that is going to go down.

So the Lightsaber illuminates but the floor doesn't. Not that I was expecting it to but given how simplistic the base is I'd think for $560 they could step up their game a bit in that department and make it happen. If a base ever warranted it, it's this one.

Not in love with it. So at this price (and the ridiculous markup for the essential EX) it's an easy pass. At this point I can't imagine what could possibly pull me back to Sideshow. I mean if ESB Han and Luke couldn't do it I don't think anything will.
