Hard to tell, but as amazon is relatively new to this game they may be taking the exclusives the other brick and mortar stores are scared too. ;D

eFX is gonna make a full set of ANH Stormtrooper Armor directly cast from screen used armor. Looks like it will be around $2,000 but you will not be able to argue its authenticity. It will be interesting to see how the 501st reacts to this. I don't see how they couldn't approve these as long as its not one size fits all.

That Boba Helmet in the display case is hard not to notice too. They worked with Dented Helmet using a pull from the Hero Helmet from TESB.

Tamer thanks for starting this thread.....couldn't go to the con due to lack of monies.  But its pretty nice to see all the goodies still.  I'm still thinking that exclusive Boba Fett will be at another con here in the states though.  Happened in 2003 with the silver Boba Fett.

The only other place you might get the Boba and Han in Carbonite is CE2.

It wouldn't suprise me to see these going for triple the asking price on ebay tomorrow. Matter of fact I will do a story on it.

as a matter of fact the scalping started long before comic con got started with "Pre Orders" on ebay!  Saw it started to get flooded more than a week ago

I wonder if Hasbro will have a one-per-customer policy at CE as well, Tamer.

Weird though: you turn on the news and all you hear is economy crisis, unemployment figures going through the roof, yet there are dozens of people willing to pay triple, if not more for an action figure!

I would guess that life size vintage would be in the $2000-$4000 range

looks like thats Gino standing there next to it and so you know that armor is going to be pretty accurate if he had anything to do with it

Yepper, Spooky from what I am understanding that Stormy Armor set is really rocking the costume world. I am gonna be hard pressed not to try and get a set of this. We will have to wait and see what sizing they do with this.

And was there anything new we found out today? I am just getting back from a family amusement park trip to Del Grosos!
