Title: Life-Size Han Solo in Carbonite!
Post by: Tamer on April 13, 2014, 09:03:06 AM: This is definitely one of the most exspensive SW Collectibles I have seen, but wow what a great item:

"This magnificent seven-and-a-half foot tall replica captures every detail of the frozen smuggler with stunning realism, just moments after his affectionate parting words, "I know," in The Empire Strikes Back. Expertly recreated in fiberglass and high quality materials, film-accurate light effects in the base, side panels and rear power canisters provide added authenticity to Solo's carbonite prison. Jabba's most sought-after trophy can now belong to you, as a truly unique centerpiece in any home theater, mancave or Star Wars display.

Comes with full-color detailed instructions, some assembly is required.
Ugnaughts not included."

You can balk over the $6,999 price tag, but you have to admit it is one stunning item.

For that price one does wonder.

Post by: Tamer on June 09, 2014, 11:43:23 AM: Yes, I agree pretty crazy when it comes to price.

I almost feel like these will be purchases for folks who have way too much deniro and don't want to put the time into researching a better one (much like you always do Serg).

Post by: jkno on June 10, 2014, 07:44:49 AM: If there are people who have too much dinero but no time to do the research, then I guess there is not a problem for them.

Post by: Tamer on June 10, 2014, 11:08:28 AM: I for one doubt I will ever have that problem, but some folks might.

And for set piece for a museum quality like item you have to admit it looks pretty great.

Post by: jkno on June 12, 2014, 07:37:00 AM: We know SSC makes great stuff, but accuracy is not their motto.
