It already has a product page on Marco for $499.

Those are the Pinside speculation "facts" we see so much of, sometimes known as fake news.

So there are the standard R2 lights and sounds? That's at least nice. His movements are a little herky jerky but I suppose that is what you get with what is probably pinball parts inside and not necessarily something custom built to achieve realism as a prop reproduction.

If I had my druthers, I would have just had a complete R2 in the same scale with no base at all, even if the dome just did the same things it does now.

Someone list it on ebay so I can grab one on the next 10%-20% off sale.

I can't spend $500 on a topper no matter how much I would like to. My GOT topper came on the game when I bought it and I went aftermarket acrylic for my GB topper. $200-$250 is my sweet spot. At $399 for the SW, I would have probably done it eventually but not at $500.

Lol I resisted the urge to post this because I knew someone else would have it covered.

It's amusing to count the amount of people who use it at work in a given day. I don't correct them either but it does give me a little chuckle inside.

You only have to read three posts up for the latest news on the subject:

"The most recent Stern of the Union communication didn't mention any "new" Star Wars topper news. Ugh. Same ol' same ol' - it's approved...blah blah.."

My only game without a topper as well. Honestly, I'd probably prefer a cheaper option like a laseriffic or something that was done nicely. Something with some layers and cool lighting effects.

I almost agree 100%. The Stern GOT topper was pretty badass. Now that the game is gone, I have no games with factory toppers.

Get the F out of here.... $800 for a topper that looks like that? That's insane! The GOT topper was better and much less.

Stern MSRP is $769 plus shipping. It's for real.

Oooh a Sideshow reference, my Peter tingle went off

I've been collecting Sideshow since the late 90's. They really blew up with the pick up of the Weta LOTR distribution in the early 2k's. That's back when edition sizes were a modest 500-750. Loved hanging with those SS guys at SDCC in the mid 2k's.

Cut off the dome and replace the one on the Stern topper.

But you do realize that when people say bad things it affects my enjoyment of said something so I must defend it's honor and in turn my enjoyment of it

Wife got this for me as a Christmas present and it just arrived last week. Haven't played it much but with the 2 games I've had time to play, it seems to be operating 100%.

He's just participating in the new great American past time, "being super judgie". I just spent the last 3 hours listening to my in laws who have perfected the art....

I love mine too. Admittedly I was initially turned off by the price but to quote someone else, I've spent much more for less (including my $1500 of Alien air I purchased from Heighway).

I don't judge people for what they spend their money on, mainly because I don't care. I'm certainly not going to spout flame and crap all over their enjoyment of the purchase. If I wouldn't be rude enough to do it in person, why would I do it on the internet.

Don't forget "Why are you guys wasting your money?"

Why is it unobtainable? Last check showed several vendors with them available.
