I saw this posted on another site (RS) so I figured I would share in case folks were interested and did not see it.:)


"UPDATE: eFX changes the rules!

:
Besides having some teaser images of their upcoming Attack of the Clones Clone Trooper helmet, and Ralph Mcquarrie Darth Vader concept helmet, eFX announced that their original pre-order date for the 500 piece Stormtrooper helmet run has been canceled. Here's what eFX has to say :

As many of you know, we had originally announced that the pre-order day for our very first product, the Stormtrooper Helmet, was to be on May 5, 2008. However, since eFX is a brand new company, we are going to initiate many new groundbreaking ideas that some many even consider "sacrilege" since they will break some old "traditions". We have decided to scratch the whole pre-order process and establish a WORLDWIDE on-sale date when the product will be available the same day whether you are on Los Angeles, Tokyo or London! We will try to announce the availability date at least 30 days in advance. We think that our collectors will appreciate and like this new process.
  • Be able to see images of the actual product before you purchase
  • Allows you to better plan your finances since you will know exactly when your credit card will be charged
  • Eliminates the frustration of waiting an uncertain amount of time before you actually receive your product.
It seems the email newsletters going out have random images showing new eFX products. Known so far are :
  • Ralph McQuarrie Concept Darth Vader helmet
  • Episode 2 Clone Trooper helmet
  • Episode 4 Obi-Wan Kenobi Lightsaber

Re: eFX products update

...so of the first 4 products listed (the other the stormie), 2 are rehashes(yeah i know they modified them) but you can buy everything twice from this new company!

They are already making a Mcq helmet(from seeing the psuedo popularity of the ones made here im sure)...

So they are now making the entire run , then selling them online and shipping instantly now?

Wonder how much the price is gonna be going up with these new items...

Where did you see this McQ helmet? I've got the efx email today and went to the website (the single splash page) and haven't seen it.

Modified ? as i understood it the trooper helmet is the exact same as MR's aside from the stand
 
Re: eFX products update

Wow...selling something when it's actually in hand...what a "groundbreaking" idea!
 
Re: eFX products update

Here's two of the images of the email that have been posted thus far...

Re: eFX products update

Am I missing something or does that Obi-Wan saber look like the internal works are hidden inside? In the pic, it looks like the bottom comes off and the guts are there.
 
Re: eFX products update

What's the deal with the OWK lightsaber, if looks like it has guts?

Are they doing a reveal lightsaber?

I saw that...very interesting indeed! But would it bump the price up having that sort of gimmick?
 
Re: eFX products update

If it is a reveal type of lightsaber I hope there is some way to display the casing while not on the lightsaber...
 
Re: eFX products update

Two more... :)

And there was this ad in the latest Star Wars Insider which hints at a few more things to come...

Cool! The reveal lightsabers were an idea bandied about at MR a few years ago. Nice to see it resurrected.

And I'm so getting a scaled Tantive IV.

different stand different plaque, obi is totally modified, no offense but does everything need to be explicitly detailed without being questioned about it, come on , take some initiative and look...
