Thankya thankya. Yeah, I have had my eye on this ever since I found out it existed. If you really want to get one they are out there. Just got to be patient and find the right one.

I got into Sideshow because of Pitu about 2 years ago, if any of you know who Im talking about-if you dont check out https://www.pituvision.com

Now Im pretty much out of room so until I move, its going to be hard to get any more pieces...

P!tu? P!tu who? Can't say we have ever heard of him...

Can I ask what these cost, then and now?

I believe the retail was like $750. Then the price has been going up ever since. One in good condition will go for anywhere from $3000-$7000 plus shipping which is rediculous and has to be shipped freight.

A local pickup is your best bet but the odds are difficult to find someone selling one at a good price/ in your area

No problem, I didn't see a lot of material out there about this piece so I figured I would remedy that.

I really dig your Han in Carbonite and I've always thought about trying to pick one up. I have the companion piece for it.

Thats really cool. Where did you get it and how much did it put you back if you dont mind my asking?

 

[Brent72]

I found mine over at the Rebelscum forums also. Got it back in 2005 from a guy whose wife was making him liquidate his entire SW collection. I paid a little under $5k at the time and I've seen a couple sell on eBay for nearly twice that much. There were supposed to be a total of 500 produced, but Don Post lost the SW license before the run was completed and rumor is that they made less than 200. Naturally it's the centerpiece of my collection, but I also have a life-size Vader, Stormtrooper and Darth Maul to keep Boba company.

Is it all one piece or do you have to put him together? That must have been a large box.

The figure is all one piece and he then connects to the base. It came in a crate the size of a coffin.

Did you take the plaque off yourself or did the previous owner do that? I'm just wondering how hard it was to remove and what the chances are of the paint getting wrecked in the process.

 

[lightwave000]

It came with the plaque off in a baggy. The previous owner displayed it without the plaque. I bought some doublestick tape and put it on because I think it looks cool with it. As far as removing paint when you peel it off Im not sure. But the outside layer is coated with that slippery paint app- I wouldnt think it would be hard to remove.
