Just a closing note:
I was watching this ebay auction for the chrome version.
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230334580407&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNA:AU:1123
The final price was US$860. With the current exchange rate, that put it out of my budget (plus, the seller said postage to Aust would be US$112).

So after the ebay auction finished I ordered the combat version from sideshow. They said postage to Aust would be US$93, so US$592 or so total.

Now I just have to wait for it to arrive.

Ah nice. Well then go for it mate. Keep in mind that postage does cost a rather insane amount – ~$100.

Thanks.

All the Australian stores I contacted told me they are permanently out of stock, even though they list “in stock” on their website.

Sideshow list being available April 2009 at US$500. So that looks the one to go for. Also, current exchange is 1 AUD = 0.70 USD.

Sideshow Collectibles is the only official place to get it, and consequently the cheapest. Although the chrome version has been long sold-out, the combat version is still available here: http://www.sideshowtoy.com/?page_id=4489&sku=83331

Unfortunately for you, it will cost you more now as the AUS dollar has gone to shit since I bought it (.90 AUS > 1 USD is now like .62 AUS > 1 USD).

It MIGHT even be cheaper now to buy it locally off eBay if you get a good price.

I am an Aussie too, and lusting over one of these big time. Just wondering where you got it for: “AUD $600 (AUD $500 + $100 P’n’H)”

Is it still possible to get one at that price? Cheapest I have found in Australia is $950

Thanks.

There’s many people who have done it over at statueforum and theimportforums and posted pictures of the result and it looks awesome. As I understand there’s no risk wiping off the chrome it self, since nail polish remover only removes the paint. I can’t remember hearing anyone sying they experienced problems doing this. It’s just a rinse and wipe job.

But I have not decided what I will do yet.

Ah yeah I have been considering wiping off the damage my self. Not sure yet though. You sure its safe?

Good and thorough review. I just ordered one my self actually, better now than ever seeing how fast the clear version got sold out.

I wil probably wipe off the combat paint, but I’m not 100% sure yet. I saw some pictures where the paint had been wiped off and it looked jaw-droppingly good.

Can’t wait for mine to arrive.
