eFX Shakes Thing
Up! |
RebelScum has the latest
information on eFX and how they will be different from Master Replicas. Here's
what eFX has to say :
"As many of you know, we had originally
announced that the pre-order day for our very first product, the Stormtrooper
Helmet, was to be on May 5, 2008. However, since eFX is a brand new company, we
are going to initiate many new groundbreaking ideas that some many even consider
"sacrilege" since they will break some old "traditions". We have decided to
scratch the whole pre-order process and establish a WORLDWIDE on-sale date when
the product will be available the same day whether you are on Los Angeles, Tokyo
or London! We will try to announce the availability date at least 30 days in
advance. We think that our collectors will appreciate and like this new
process."
- Be able to see images of the actual product before you purchase
- Allows you to better plan your finances since you will know exactly when
your credit card will be charged
- Eliminates the frustration of waiting an uncertain amount of time before
you actually receive your product.
Other products that are on the horizon for eFX include:
- Ralph McQuarrie Concept Darth Vader helmet
- Episode 2 Clone Trooper helmet
- Episode 4 Obi-Wan Kenobi Lightsaber
- Red 5 X-Wing Fighter
This seems like a fair way to do things. Fans will just really need to be
ready for what it is they want to get their hands on. |

Captain Rex
Delayed |
Did you try to get the sneak peak Captain Rex? Well you will have to
wait a little longer.
"Dear Clone Wars Figure Requestor:
We have received your redemption
request for the Clone Wars 2008 Captain Rex collectable figure. Due to an
unanticipated production delay, we will be unable to ship the figure(s) to you
until the last week of July, 2008. If you don't want to wait until then, you may
cancel your order and receive a prompt refund by calling our toll-free customer
service number, (800) 327-8264. Customer service hours are M-TH 8:30am-5:30am;
Fr 8:30am-12:30pm. If we do not hear from you by July 1, 2008, we assume that
you have agreed to this shipment delay. Please DO NOT call the toll-free number
unless you want to cancel your order. We thank you for your patience and

It won't be much of a sneak peak it the movie ends up making it out before
the figure. Let's hope there aren't any more delays. |
