Österreich ist der Versand deutlich teurer als Deutschland und MWST und Zoll sind bei uns 26%. Nach Deutschland ist es etwas Billiger als nach Österreich.

SSAlex antwortet auf verschiedene Fragen bzgl. Light up, Preis, Limitierung etc. :thumb:

Alex,

Can the red part of the lightsaber come out of the new Vader? I want to display it without the cheap plastic red part...please make sure to bring that up to the team. It would be best if it's optional to have it or not.

Zitat:
The lightsaber will not be able to be detached from the hand. The whole gauntlet/hand with attached saber would come off the piece for shipping purposes.
Why was the light up for chest and belt not included in the product? Was there really no plan to put them on? Even darth malgus pf have these lights on his costume. That would be a huge fail considering its vader and those lights are symbolic in his costume. I hope that will be added. Thanks

Zitat:
There is a plan to add additional light up features on the piece. If it's confirmed that we can add more light-up features we will update the site with new photos and text.
Hi SSAlex,

Just wondering if the body suit on the new Vader PF is fabric or sculpted.

Thank you

Zitat:
The body suit is fabric
Hi Alex,
does Disney have anything to do with the price hikes in Star Wars statues?

Zitat:
Licensing fees will always play a role (and Star Wars is one of the most expensive licenses…even more so since Disney took even more control within the last few months) but manufacturing costs on these products increases with every new piece (no matter the license, no matter the character, no matter the product). So factor in one of the most expensive licenses one can have and the ever increasing costs to produce the characters/creatures and there will be price increases for them.
Hi Alex... Not a question just a comment to pass on to the team. I stated this in the Vader thread but thought I would share.

Do to the Higher price, No Ex, No ES, and over a year wait for release (and probably longer) Sideshow has taken the fun out of Pre-ordering this item. I feel no need to rush. I was excited about it but then the lack of an EX and no ES deflated the excitement.

I am not someone who has to have an ES or an EX but combined the price for this item along with the other things I mentioned and I just can't see why I need to order.

Now... because I am waiting I could end up spending my money elsewhere or wait for Hot Toys to release a 1/4 Vader. The Hype for the item could leave and I may decide (as others have) that I really don't need a 500.00 Vader that will not retain it's Value.

This is not a slam of SSC. Just an observation of what I see as a bad business decision. I love SSC and have been pretty much happy with all the products I have owned. But this move makes little to no sense.

Had they offered an EX and then had the Reg edition remain open at least there would be some fun to be had. Like Your R2 and 3PO. But alas this offers nothing that says I have to get this now.

I have noticed that both here and on the SSC thread that there have not been a lot of "Ordered" posts. With a character like Vader you would think you would see post after post of that. However... Not the case. Again I think it comes down to No ES, No EX, extremely long wait to get product in hand and an extremely high price is just too much for the fans to swallow. Oh and add in the lack of light up feature for the chest and belt also.. Which I think fans see as a step back since the original PF could do this.

I know we make a small portion of the customers but I think we probably represent the shopping habits of the customers pretty well.

Anyways it's just an observation I made and explaining why I, who is usually a Day one pre order guy, and others have not ordered this yet.


Thanks for your time,
Eric

Zitat:
I certainly understand your point of view and thank you so much for sharing it. :-)

Some of the bigger characters (Vader, Hulk…for example) are going to have occasions in which we will continue to produce them for a much longer time frame. These will typically be the Limited Edition items.

Why would we do that? Some may ask. There are characters that we feel should be available for folks to pick up a year (maybe even much longer) down the road without being met with that Sold Out message.

Some say that it's just the nature of the hobby. That if you missed out you missed out and go to the secondary market to find it. I can very much understand that viewpoint (really, I do!). But it really becomes a no win situation. Make certain items available for a longer time period and a portion of the collecting base won't be happy because it doesn't have a numbered edition size, there's no fun in being able to get something easily, and so on. Whereas another portion of the collector base is happy about it due to the fact they have the ability to pick up their favorite character if they come in to collecting a little late after a release or have the chance to see in hand photos and so on. Then if you make it more limited you have another mix of happy/unhappy folks for other reasons. This all leads to the no win.

This isn't all to say that the route is to make everything Limited Edition. FAR from it and the majority of releases will have numbered editions. It's just on occasion some of the bigger characters may have a release in which they will be made available for a longer time period without a numbered edition.

As for Vader specifically, his exclusive had to be dropped shortly before Pre-Order. It simply wasn't working for the piece, so it was excluded.

I can only hope that some future releases will bring about excitement to the collector base that is feeling less than excited (and yes I know many folks reply back to my final comment will be related to lower Edition Sizes that will bring about more excitement. That want/cry has been (and continues to be) passed along to the appropriate folks that need to hear that feedback). :-)

Bei dem Preis wäre das wohl das mindeste! Wenn ich bedenke,d ass selbst mein Malgus an der Rüstung überall leuchtet (Mehr schlecht als recht) dann sollte doch der Vader eigentlich blinken wie ne Leuchtreklame ;)

Das Schwert ist mir relativ egal, das muss nicht leuchten. Viel zu empfindlich. Siehe hier auch wieder meinen Malgus, wo das Schwert relativ fix hinüber war.

Aber Chestbox MUSS sein. Die Base wäre umso cooler! Das ist für mich nicht zwingend ein Muss

Oktay hat keinen Shop, das war nur Rumalberei ;) und der Shop um den es eigentlich ging: http://division126.eshop.t-online.de/epages/Shop45877.sf/de_DE/?ObjectPath=/Shops/Shop45877/Products/SS0091

Dort kannst Du bedenkenlos kaufen, was Preise angeht, einfach den Besitzer anschreiben.
