The First Hot Toys Star Wars Figure Is...

the Luke Skywalker Bespin Outfit DX Figure! We knew this was coming, and now it's up for pre-order.

As a huge fan of The Empire Strikes Back, I think that Hot Toys really nailed this figure. This is no ordinary figure, though - it's two complete figures, more hands than you can shake a stick at, and a movie-specific Weathervane accessory making this the best Luke Skywalker figure ever! Click here to check it our for yourself.

We're offering the Luke Bespin DX Figure for $30 below the SRP PLUS you'll earn 5 Reward Points ($5) to use on a future order. And remember, at Alter Ego we double box all Hot Toys 1:6 scale figures for maximum protection during shipping.

As always, we encourage you to pre-order within the next 30 days to guarantee your order.

And now, a few words about deposits

I really don't like charging deposits...it's more work for my staff. But we've kinda been forced into it. You see, as a retailer, we are being charged Non-Refundable Deposits (NRDs) by select manufacturers. In most cases, if we have an NRD listed, it's because we're being charged that amount, per item, from the manufacturer. So if we order 200 Luke Bespin DX Figures, we're being charged $6000 in NRDs. That's alot of cash to have tied up for 6-12 months. And that's just one example.

I've always valued the relationship that we have with each and every customer, so I wanted to be upfront with you about the NRDs. If you have any questions, please contact me atmarc@alteregocomics.com or 419-224-6700.

Shipping Updates

Hot Toys Superman 1:6 Scale Figure - Arriving on Monday, November 21st!

Hot Toys Jack Sparrow DX 1:6 Scale Figure - The latest update on Captain Jack is that we're receiving a partial shipment around 12/15. Not sure how many we're getting or when the balance will arrive. Hot Toys is changing things on a weekly basis these days.

Hot Toys Captain America 1:6 Scale Figure - Limited qtys are now available again! As of this week, there is no hard release date for Cap, but we're projecting a mid-late December release in multiple shipments.

It looks like these three highly anticipated figures are going to be released at least 2-4 weeks apart, so they won't all be coming at once (which should make it easier on everyone's bank accounts). Order yours today before they disappear.
