SideShow Collectables Vehicles

Would you be willing to pay the price for a SSC vehicle? If so what would like to see made?

I think the best way for SSC to start, would be with Zartan and his Chameleon.

It's not practical for them to make anything larger than a motorcycle. They'd have to contract in Hasbro, bbi or 21st Century Toys to go any larger than that.

Hasbro made this one a while back:

1:6 scale gets big fast after that.

What about the smaller stuff like the Ram or a Claw. How bout a Ferret. These all should be easy to do and not costan arm and a leg. I also see nothing wrong with paying $250 for Zartan and the Chameleon.

that bradley has got to be huge!

Oh, it is... total pain to display or store...

Here is some numbers to think about:
One fig costs between 80-125
an environment set costs between 125-200 bucks
a diorama would cost between 200-300 bucks
a vehicle would costs us around 300-400+ AND if a figure was thrown in, well, lets say the average collector would not be able to get this. They do offer flex pay but still, thats a lot of money for 1 item

depending on the vehicle, I'd assume it'd be about the same as the Jabba display they did a few years ago.

While i'm sure SS would charge 250 for a Zartan and Chameleon, it wouldn't NEED to cost that much. Dragon has released more than a couple figures that come with fairly large field artillery pieces and they don't charge anywhere near 250.

CLAW/RAM size is about the limit i would expect from SS. Anything else would be too big/expensive for Joe collectors and of little interest to actual 1:6 collectors.

qft.

Dude, maybe if I won lotto, I cannot even justify the price of the figures, but that would be nice!

It's currently being stored. I can tell you it is a beast. Imagine a vehicle that is over 2-1/2 feet long, almost 2 feet wide, and over a foot tall (estimate, I haven't handled it lately). I also have a pair of 1:6 Little Bird helos, a seal boat, a scout motorcycle, a humvee (that has been destroyed by my kids) and the LSV I posted.

I'm just saying $250 because of the prices of other SSC items. I would love to get that for cheaper, but would more than likely pay the $250.

[Konigstiger]

I've never been impressed enough with SS's work to pay anywhere near that. They're overpriced for what you get as it is.

NO.... MORE... ROOM... TO... COLLECT!!! AAARGH!!!!!

(ow, and too expensive too! sorry)
