Regular 12" Obi-Wan nearly sold out

[JediTricks]

I don't get how they can put that the edition size is still to be determined (TBD as it says on the page right now) yet they can have the "low quantity alert" logo running on the page the way it is right now. But in any event, the site says there's only less than 100 left available for preorder on the SSC site. So if you're waiting to decide, now is pretty much your last chance:

I saw that. I was surprised that Obi-Wan took so long unless they had a very large limited edition.

Anakin's edition size was 7000 and took 6 days to sell out. It's been 9 for Obi-Wan and still not sold out, since yesterday the bar on their page has only moved 1 space. I'm beginning to wonder if the bar is a reference to time rather than actual number of items since it seems odd that 10 or less sold in the last 24 hours.

I called Sideshow...and according to the lady the fielded my call (I don't know how much she knows), the meter on the figure's page does indeed indicate that there were 40 left (30 now) and that they are selling ten per day.

[JediTricks]

Well, it's now down to 20 so I guess it's not 10 per day today. Weird how this stuff ebbs and flows. I suppose everybody who isn't in a coma who wants one of these has ordered it by now - I kinda suspect the edition size will be 7k like Anakin.

SOLD OUT - Wait List Available!

[Darth Cruel]

If they continue offering new ones every two weeks...I am going to run out of money. This is starting to make me think that when Sideshow's people said 8-10 figures per year, they meant in each of the 5 lines (by the way...can someone give me a reminder of where the link to the WRITTEN interview with the two Sideshow clowns is? Thanks!). We are only two weeks into the year and we have 4 of the figures already.

That took longer than I thought...unless the numbers are lower for the next, Kit Fisto should take way longer to sell out - first one I am passing on, and not the last I'm sure!

[Darth Cruel]

The edition size for the regular edition was 7500. I hope the numbers keep going up. And I hope the numbers for the Exclusive Edition do the same.

I ordered Kit Fisto. I am going to have to look for an alternative online source for another Obi-Wan and my first Anakin. I still don't feel too sure about this, but I was never concerned about buying the exclusive Obi-Wan. I knew I was waiting and wanting that.

I don't remember who it is...but someone on the forums is always saying they are getting 5 of each. Check the Obi-Wan preview thread they may have posted there.

Regular Fisto will likely be down, since his SE version is only 1250 rather than the 1750 Anakin and Obi-Wan were.

[Darth Cruel]

JT --You are probably right. And I find this to be very disappointing. Although I have to concede a little to Sideshow on this one. It didn't seem to me that Kit would be this popular. 33 minutes is fast to sell out ANY character. I wonder what the time would have been if there had been 1750 of them.

[JediTricks]

Kit SE sold out in an hour and 15 minutes, at 10:45am, but they started taking orders at around 9:30am which IMO just makes things worse. Still, this is a very fast sell-through and that should prove there's enough demand to at least split the difference on the regular edition numbers.
