Discounted MR Boba Fett LE & SE helmet offer

Thanks for re-posting the list!

One question, any idea on how to (if you can) replace the RF LED batteries?

Cheers!

PM sent about LE detail... and how much would shipping + insurance be to Australia?

Sorry, just making sure. Are these on order already?

Yes. I have 9 cases that were ordered the first week they were available for order. That's 18 helmets I am committed to. I am keeping 1 for myself so I have 17 available to the TDH. I can always add more cases but for now that's what is placed so far. There were 2 guys from AU who wanted them and I ordered them and then they backed out before payment so those are the 2 that are left that are already ordered.

Looks like I missed responding to you. Still interested?

D'oh! Sorry, you had already said they were "on order" in your post, not "before you order". My apologies, I just saw the number of helmets left at MR going down quickly and wanted to make sure we were covered.

Have a good weekend!

UPDATE: 10/8/07: The Signature edition is already wait listed and they tell us that the Limited edition is close to selling out in case anyone is on the fence about getting one.

The Ebay buyer never paid so I have 1 open spot on the cases that were ordered back in week 1 if anyone want to get in on this run . .

The regular or SE helm. (The helmet you have available)

Has MR said anymore about when in Nov they think these will be shipping?

Email Sent

hey bobbafett669, any word on when these will be shipping?

thanks

No update on shipping. I will post when they send me the invoices. I can't keep asking them every week. Please be patient. MR is never specific on when items are shipping until they are in the country. They normally ship on a boat overseas ans then have to clear customs. I realize everyone wants them now and no one wants theirs more than I but I will do my best to turn them around and back in the mail as soon as they arrive.

No worries. Thanks again for doing this.

The email I got from my MR sales rep today says the Boba Fett LE Helmet and blaster are due to start shipping in November. No specific date given.

Sweet, thanks for the update mate.

Loanstar, just received notice that the blasters have started shipping.

Additional case ordered.

Sent ya a PM ...

PAID


Thanks,

Shawn

Just received letter from Master Replicas this afternoon that the Blasters and Helmets are now on a "Last Call" status which mean they are about to sell out. If anyone else wants in on this please don't delay.

"Last Call
Boba Fett Blaster Limited Edition
Boba Fett Blaster Signature Edition
Luke Skywalker EpV Blaster Limited Edition
Yoda Lightsaber EpIII Scaled Replica
Boba Fett EpV Helmet Limited Edition
Scaled Replica Trio Display
2005 Collectors Society Full Darth Maul Lightsaber Scaled Replica
2007 Collectors Society Membership
Jack Sparrow Sword Limited Edition
Winnie the Pooh Character Statuette"

Anyone want to join Fett Pride in the next case order? I need 1 more buyer since Loanstar had to back out since shipping to Germany on the blaster was a lot more than we expected.

Here are the photos from the Collector's Society Party at Celebration IV.

A dissappointing responce from MR with no explanation on why they moved the date back:

"Hi Michael,
This item will not begin shipping until January.
All my best,

XXXXX XXXXXXX
Sales Representative
Master Replicas Inc."

I have 1 person interested in the Signature edition, I need 1 more person for the SE edition to order the case. Anyone want in? Last day to order these 12/31/07. After that MR will not take anymore orders.

So they are shipping _this_ january right ?

If you need to sell one more ill take it if its going to help with evening things up.

I want to get an up close and personal look at a nice helmet anyway.

PM me and let me know. I want the SE, for 399, not the signature.

Thanks,
Ciao

The SE is the signature edition. I will still take orders for the LE Limited edition if you want that. what zipcode would it be shipping to?

The wholesaler portal is showing everything Star Wars is SOLD OUT now. I sent an email to my sales rep to see if that is true but I may not be able to order anymore.

As of today 12/19, I have 1 LE spot available and 1 SE spot available (pending payment)

bobafett669,

Thx for update, final payment sent. Can't wait for this bucket to come out!!!

Payment sent at 1213 CST yesterday for the SE I had "reserved." Thanks again for the opportunity.

g_man_71

The Official word is the Helmets are now sold out both on the public site and the dealer site.

MR is taking waiting list orders from dealers in case some orders cancel or fall though. Everyone on the list should be good as I got my orders in before they started the waiting list.

Hello bobafett669,

Saw my name for "partial pay only" still and I paid the remainder on 12/19. Just confirming that the payment did go through. Thx

Sooooo... Its Jan. now... YAY... Just wondering if these are going to be drop shipped, or if they are being routed to you first? Thanks in advance, can't wait to receive the helmet.


-Shawn

Master Replicas does not do drop ship for retailers. They all will be shipped to me at my cost and then shipped out to you guys. I will get them labeled and back out the door as fast as I can as I know everyone can't wait. I too am very excited about them. I already have a reserved spot on my shelf with a Led light above it for this one.

-Shawn

Anyone got theirs yet???

I am sure Bobafett669 will post on here when he gets the email stating that they will be shipped shortly..so you will probably know a good 2-3 weeks before you see yours arrive when they are shipping.

I called MR yesterday (again), and they said that they have no clue. All they would say is "by March".

That is ridiculous though..who would know if they dont?

When I told my wife I ordered this thing, I told her not to panic as I figured it would be April before it ever showed up based on their prior record. Guess I was pretty close. I still don't expect to see them sooner than April.

"LAST DAY TO ORDER THESE IS 12/31/07. After that no more can be ordered!!!!!"

Does that mean they'll stop forever or will some other helmets come and replace them?

I want to buy a helmet but if it's all over, then I'd feel pretty screwed. Because of the low dollar value, shipping it over to Sweden and paying for it should be quite a low price compared to some other helmets I've seen.

More info on this would be lovely!

PS: Picture from inside helmet would be awesome.

Thx in advance fellow Fetts.

Drake, you can find an interior photo in this thread:

http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f23/master-replicas-helmet-thread-23107/

Master Replicas is done with Star Wars products (for the forseeable future), but a new company, eFX, has picked up the SW license. If it's anything like how MR picked up the mini helmets from Riddell, eFX will probably sell some similar if not identical products, probably from the same actual manufacturers.

I received 11 Pre-allocation notices today from Master Replicas that some of the helmets will be available to start shipping the week of Jan. 30th. I should get another notice that week when the cases actually ship. I am guessing the rest should be allocated soon.

Yes. This is it forever. Master Replicas gave up the Star Wars license and they will not be producing any more Star Wars items.

The signature Editions are on the way to me:

Great News! Your Master Replicas product(s) have been shipped.

SW-156SE | Boba Fett EpV Helmet Signature Edition | 2 |

Legally the last day they could take orders was 12/31/07 which is why I had posted that wanring. They are all pre-sold out and not even on the website to order anymore. These will be a valuable collectible to have since it was the last helmet they made.

Sometimes they have leftover inventory that they could not charge a supplier for or if they payment is bad they will release them for sale but they always go that same day. I have already emailed my sales rep to let her know I am interested in another case if there are any "left overs".

PS: How are they size-wise? I'm quite a large person (not "fat", but quite tall etc so I'm quite big in that way, I want to fit in it :p)

Alright, wish I had registred sooner, so I had been able to read and order sooner. Lets hope the next future replica company have some great ones to sell, just like MR had.

On rebelscum.com on the main page, it shows pics from someone who already got theirs. I think it said he lives in Hong Kong.

I've already ordered one from my local dealer , I'm still woundering how are they as far as size?
from the looks of the photos it looks wearable .
I have two buckets at the moment, the first fit me only when I was bald and the other makes me look like a bobble head, I'm hoping these will be somewhere in the middle

Looks like they painted the RF ear properly for production models... Awesome...

My sales rep has tried adding 1 additional case to my allotment. If I get it I may have 1 more to sell. The other would be reserved for Cruzer.


So far for the ones that have shipped they are still in CA in transit to me.

Great to hear these are finally shipping from MR. I'm stoked to receive mine!

Yipeee! Too bad it is going to you first and then back to CA. Oh well... just excited to get it soon.

So if ive read it right, only the signature editions have shipped. the LE hasnt yet.

Actually they normally ship from Edison, NJ so I am just an in between stop to CA.

Some of the LE have shipped as well, Not all though. I think the rest are due to ship next week of the ones that have been allocated so far.

I also have the Mini Commander Gree and Mini 501st Helmets on the way as well as the Luke V2 lightsabers for anyone who bought those.

Those look so amazing!

Too bad I didn't get on that!

Hmm... toss a coin, bidding or first come -> first served?

6 Cases of LE arrived and 1 case of SE have arrived so far. I will not get to work on getting them labeled until Sunday as I have plans all day on Saturday this week.

bobafett669: possible to get added to your "Interested list", you know... just in case something would come up later?

bobafett669; if possible i would like to be added if you can get anymore of the cases,if so let me know ,thanks,and great work your doing for all the members here

bobafett669..same here, If you happen to have any extra ..Im interested..Never hurts to dream..jjv5150

What price are we talking about here, Devilstar2k2? $399.99 plus shipping?

Yup... I'm not scalping... Just want what I paid.

Where are you from? (trying to find out price for shipping)

PS: Why do you want to sell it?

Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania - USA

Zip is 17055

Still curious.

Btw... maybe you should check what the American Postal Service (or whatever it's called) charge for a package to Sweden. Having some difficulty with our counterpart. (since it's sent from your end, it will also be payed from that end, so better to check from your point-of-view, our prices for sending to U.S. will probably not be the same as the other way around.

Ok, check your PMs. Sorry Bobafett669 for the off-topic talk.

Hey Bobafett669,
Just wondering, have you shipped the first batch of helmets you received?

Keep an eye on the original post in this thread, which is apparently being updated. Looks like you're next in line.

Got mine, thanks Michael

When do you expect the next shipment in?

Got mine too. Very nice! Thx.

Did you get the SE or the LE? I oredered an LE from MR and haven't received it yet. They emailed me and said the LE's would ship out after all of the SE's were shipped first.

Yay it's almost my turn to receive my LE. The wait has been agonizing.

Woohoooo

Received my LE here in So Cal today, from bobafett669.
It looks great, thanks

Ok guys, My garage is packed full of boxes. It appears they have all arrived. I will try to get some unboxed and shipped as my time permits this week. My wife is out of town this week so I am alone with my 22 month old in the evenings when I get home from work. I will try to do some each night after he is in bed. I know everyone is excited but please understand my time constraints. I have other Master Replicas items that arrived as well for other buyers that also need to go out. If all goes according to plan most people should get theirs by early next week.

Cool that's great news!

Too bad I didn't get on that!

Great Caesar's ghost....cant wait for it to get here.

My LE came today. Number 0697. I am so pleased to see it here safe and sound. Thanks again for doing all of the background work to get these out to us BF669.

My helmet arrived but I wasn't home . Have to go to the post office to retrieve it.

My LE MR BF helmet is here! Wow! Thanks a lot!

Most have been shipped now. The only ones I still have are a few international ones and the local ones. I ran out of the "special USPS" international envelopes for the paperwork. As soon as I get some more I will get those remaining ones out.

It also looks like I may be getting an extra case so I may have 1 more left to offer. One of those in that case is reserved for Cruzer. MR is taking inventory of what they have left and then will resume the shipping.

I thought I saw fettpride mention he may want a second one.

Got mine yesterday. It's beautiful! Has anyone put in the batteries yet and tested the lights?
