    Hello everyone. I would like to be directed properly. What auction do I go to if I want the best price for a prototype Sideshow collectible that I want to sell? Thanks.

    Sales aren't allowed here, I'm afraid. Our sister site Rebelscum has a classified section if you want to try there. However, I think eBay is going to be your best bet for something like that.

    Thanks much.

    Some of the members told me that this is not a place to sell. I understand. :) Actually, I really do not intend to sell here. I am merely asking for opinions on which sites I may get the best value for my piece. And your suggestions are much appreciated. Do you think Hakes New York may help too?

    Thanks.

    Not familiar with Hakes New York, I'm afraid. (I live in the UK). However if they are a specialist dealer or auction house it might be worth checking. Just find out how much of a cut of the sale price they would be taking.

    Hot Toys have released a couple of teaser pics. Bo-Katan and Boba Fett (based on their appearances in season 2 of The Mandalorian).

    I still haven't watched season 2 - but I'll be pre-ordering Bo-Katan because I love Katee Sackhoff

    That’s an incredible set of figures. I really liked the aesthetic of Boba Fett in The Mandalorian. The gaffi stick that Boba uses reminds me of traditional Maori weaponry. The head sculpt is a great likeness. Looking at it, I just realised that Boba lost his eyebrows in the Sarlacc Pit. The detail on the armour is very nice, they’ve put a lot of effort into making it look worn and weathered.

    I'm very happy that The Bad Batch is coming because I have ZERO interest in it and won't be spending money on merchandise for it. LOL

    I need that boba two pack in my life, although I won't lie... I wish it was his fully repaired armor. That look was just too damn good. The costuming for Boba in Mando season 2 is impeccable. I just love his new look.

    Ok I just got the second release of the Mythos Obi-Wan figure and, uh did they change the body or was the originals articulation not as advertised either? It's elbow don't go past 90 (and I took off the clothes to check them, uninhibited) and so it can't hit any of the advertised poses like holding the backpack straps.

    Anyone else get the latest release of it with a similar experience?

    To add to my last comment, it seems that yes they did change it for the worse as evident by another collector who bought the latest re-stock of it on the sideshow freaks forum.

    Sideshow figures aren't as poseable or as nice as Hot Toys. A lot of people swap the bodies out for different ones.

    Yeah sorry I don't think so. He's officially the most expensive collectible I've ever purchased. I put up a giant bounty for that ugly slug - he's mine - and his little space monkey too!

    OMG just checked - his label has been printed - he'll be shipping tomorrow! Woot!

    April 5th Mando and Grogu will be on their way to me too...bwahahahaha!
