Damn it. SF should just put it on the site for pre-order, so we can apply the current 15% discount. Never mind if photos are not ready for now. We'll buy it anyway because there already are shots. Those who prefer to see photos can wait until photos are ready but I'm ready to place the order NOW.

is it going to be called the Count or is that a code name?
Is it going to be the same $$ as the Bane? |

Phillip Isherwood posted on FB. It looks all done!

Here is the photo that Phil posted. It is not on the main site yet, and if I get word that it is live, I will update you ASAP. It sounds like it is tantalizingly close, so I would be checking the site often if you fancy getting one the moment it becomes available.
***Edit***
Phillip Isherwood: I think this one is going to be our fastest sell out to date. Launch will be sometime between tonight and tommorow morning.

Imagine what you will know tomorrow....

At this point, my guess is the second the current sale ends this will be in the store! |

Judging by the quote from Phil, it will be sometime between now, and tomorrow morning (PST).

I'm not really a Dooku fan, but that looks hot. Really hot. Is that chrome or just really shiny aluminum?

It's a good business move to release during or right before a sale. Reduced prices drive sales.

On a limited run, and a new release at that, I am not sure I would count (no pun intended  ) on the sale discount being applicable.

The MPP Mk1 was launched during a sale period with the discount applicable. Anyway, it will be what it is; sale or not sale, I shall get one, but preferably with the 15% sale of course.

For some reasons, I kept refreshing the main site hoping to see this available to order. Someone help me.

Oh, I think we all understand the reasons, and a number of us are doing the very same thing.

So I have good news and bad news. The good news is that The Count is gorgeous, its covered in mirror polished nickel chrome plating, and it's incredibly detailed with a ton of complex parts. In short, it is AWESOME! Which brings us to the bad news part, the same things that make The Count awesome make it expensive to manufacture. Because our margins on The Count are so low in order to be able to sell it for an Elite Initiate base price of 199, we have to disable coupon codes on The Count sabers. |

All of that is fine with me, $199 is a cheap starting point! I don't need a disCOUNT (ha!) I just want to order this gorgeous beast! |

Economics is what it is. So .... when will it be up?
