I kinda feel the same about this. I'm trying to be excited but I'm not. I will get this, on the grounds it means I don't need to buy a retail Judge and the Bailiff is a remould, but I don't really need an off-colour Sharkticon and although the Prosecutor has articulated arms, he and the Kranix are way too small and look like Kinder Egg toys. It's not a set that *excites* me, just one that will tick a couple of boxes. In fact I think the retail paint job on the Judge is better than the set one because it's a bit darker.

I was told the prosecutor doesn't have articulated arms and I *DO* need an off colour Sharkticon!

Doesn't it?! The shoulders look like they had a join. Well that's even worse. Cheap tat to push the price up.

HANG ON... WTF is the point of the Quintesson Judge's chair? It's there because he's hovering over it in the series tfwiki.net/wiki/QuintessonGoing to need to get the Movie out to see if it's there too |

Yeah, I remember it from the cartoon - but it blends in with the environment there.
Just looks funny as a standalone accessory.
Anyway, Just had my invoice for the guard via Kapow. Not long now!

Well, got an email that my quint judge set was shipped out this morning.
Which means officially I am getting exclusives from wave two before wave two.

Which is the way it SHOULD have been: this was the SDCC boxset due to ship prior to w2

I can easily see that being what it cost them to import it.

ID imported theirs and that was £90.
Nah, this is just greed.

Maybe it's a handful they got retail from pulse so by the time shipping over is added they may not be making a lot on them. That's more ID's way of doing things though.

i dont think its greed really, its supply and demand, £110 isnt outrageously high depending on shipping etc
We also dont know how much stuff costs kapow cause theirs and ID prices never are the same

ID are usually a few quid more but I think that's compensating for the fact their free postage threshold is much lower than Kapow.

I'd guess they got them from the same place Kapow did.
This set has been back up for preorder on Pulse all week, shipping end of March next year. As it hasn't gone out of stock in seconds I don't see why our shops can't strike a deal with Hasbro US to get a better supply of them. Being that they're shipping in March it looks like they're doing a second run possibly based off the initial interest this second preorder gets - so why don't they talk to their subsidiaries in other countries to up the run further? It's silly.

That $300 for Greenlight is a sold listing though - that pack regularly goes for over a hundred quid new.

Got my Quint Pit in the mail today from Shandrews Hutt [ www.shandrews.com/]. They had stock the same day ID did for the same price. No server issues either, probably because they're not as well known. First time I had used them and all went well, decent packing for the item. |

Its back up on Pulse preorders for a March release. $70.
My friend read my mind and grabbed one as soon as it came back up.
