Drum roll please.....sooooo did they ship it?
Cool!!!!
Oh my great goodness of sugarary awesome! The only thing it looks like they have left to do is get it so the little foot ramp to fold up or extend/retract during the operation and it's perfection! Can't wait!!

To my surprise (not really) they in fact DID... not ship it yet.
We really wanted to give them a plus in this area by trusting their word on the shipment of our first month. Here is hoping that it will be shipped sooner rather than later.

My many years of buying HOT TOYS has taught me, these things NEVER ship when they say they will.... Plus I'm pretty sure they don't have anything in stock to ship anything out yet...thats just my gut feeling. I would not be shocked if these don't actually start to ship until next month to be honest.... I will have to say I was shocked to be able to call them and get a person without waiting...makes me think not that many people are calling them...or they have a staff of thousands!
Speaking of hot toys..Still waiting on that 1966 batmobile...hahhah..yeah its never coming out...
Things like this make the wait worthwhile to me.
thumbsupNow I'm waiting for the flood of folks complaining about either the speed of the ramp, the noise it makes not being screen accurate, blah ,blah, etc., etc....

It's very cool... but I also have to say...How many times do you think you will use this?Things like this make the wait worthwhile to me.

Make the ramp go up and down like 4 times..and then never again Now...if it had a working HyperDrive...that would be something...

Probably only when I'm showing it off. I'm thinking it'll go like this-
As folks look all around the ship,
opcorn,I'll turn on the cockpit lights. When that sinks in, I'll draw their attention to the bottom, & as they're admiring that, I'll drop the ramp.:eek I'm expecting an OOh or Wow at this point, followed by a "You can see inside!".
That's when I'll remove the top panel to complete the show.:lol
Yeah, I've spent some time planning for stuff 2 years from now, including my friend's reactions.:facepalm
I am a sad man.

Just wondering if they removed the insides, had no lowering ramp..etc..how much cheaper would this be?Probably only when I'm showing it off. I'm thinking it'll go like this-

Still I suppose its always better to have too many features, than not enough.... Reminds me of the IRON MAN hot toys... they light up and look amazing...but they have batteries in like 10 different spots and each limb has an on/off switch. You pretty much turn them on once...look at it..then remove all the batteries so they won't leak...then you never turn it on again... but if it didn't light up...I'd feel cheated...ha...can't win!It's very cool... but I also have to say...How many times do you think you will use this?
Now...if it had a working HyperDrive...that would be something...
Until the batteries wear out... and then replaced... then the motor wears out, and ordered and replaced... repeat ad nauseum

No... you only forgot one major item... have to have the Star Wars theme playing in the background the entire time and time each of those actions to the stanza changes while the music is playing for major impact! Can't set the mood properly without John Williams! (PS - Stay outta my damn head!!)
Looks that way, :unsure but the video is titled 'Engineering Development', so maybe they're just getting the speed & operation nailed down. The actual motor may be moved to a different location?

My thoughts as well. Otherwise, nothing a little "engineering development" of my own cant fix.
