Coming from Razor's Edge Collectibles and limited to 500 pieces world wide, this mini helmet is the last in a series done by Master Replicas. This should go on pre-order on January 31st. UPDATE: SEE BELOW

UPDATED INFO:

The target on sale date has changed, the helmets are set to arrive at Razor's the end of January/Early February so the new on sale date will be sometime early in February. The reason for the delay is Razor's wants to wait until they arrive in New York before the are put up for sale. The on sale date will be posted at least one week prior to the sale.

Razor's has confirmed they will be putting up 95 a day for 5 days instead of all 475 in one day (25 will be held back for damage replacements, promotion and giveaways). The idea is to give collectors more opportunities to get the helmet.

I like the 95 a day idea, but I just hope that they won't allow people to order on multiple days. This looks really cool, and I'll probably try and get one.

i read that they said a maximum of 2 per household on the sellers site this morning....that would severly limit the number of people able to get this if many people get 2

Nice. Maybe I'll try and grab an extra to trade for the BHS helmet that I missed out on

This does look like a cool helmet but I thought MR couldnt sell anything anymore

Vadersfist · « **Reply #7 on:** January 26, 2008, 03:05:24 AM »

Yeah this is very cool looking, but HOW much is this helmet going to be going for? If it is around the $50 marker, I could even get one dang it.

most exclusives have been about $50-60

Vadersfist · « **Reply #9 on:** January 26, 2008, 10:30:22 PM »

That's not a bad price. I was thinking somewhere between $100 to $150.

I'm hoping I can snag one. It goes up for sale when I'm at work.

Boba Binks · « **Reply #11 on:** January 30, 2008, 07:05:47 AM »

Cool. I want this.

Boba Binks · « **Reply #12 on:** February 06, 2008, 12:54:51 PM »

I e-mailed RazorsEdge about this item. They told me that they are waiting on Master Replicas to ship. They said to keep an eye on Yodasnews for info.

Sorry fella's this one is gone.

jokabofe · « **Reply #20 on:** March 05, 2008, 01:20:42 PM »

Website is down now. Why do people ALWAYS underestimate the popularity of limited exclusives and think they have what it takes to handle the demand for this stuff??

Alright I probablly got lucky ordering the 2 mini-helmets. But here is the tricks I did, it may help you guys out in the next four chances.

* Register with Razor's Edge before the start time. Do it today.
* Login into RE with your account info 1hr - 30 min before hand. The cookies will be saved on your machine to speed up checkout.
* A few sec before 2PM EST, hit the main page and this link (http://www.razorsedgecollectibles.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=3204) in separate windows.
* Go through the checkout when you have it in the cart and use paypal to pay. Using paypal's payment process would speed up your checkout time.

This is a pain in the ass way of doing things, but it gets your or item. Oh yeah if you get mysql errors and sever rebooting pages. Be persistent and use the directly link or the shopping cart page (http://www.razorsedgecollectibles.com/catalog/shopping_cart.php). It just sucks having to sit at this for 2hrs just to get it at cost.

Nice. So instead of selling them for $55 he's going to get $80 - $90 - $100 - or more on ebay. Way to go!!

I hope he is using the buy it now option, with multiples.

Wow, servers dying trying to order a single item. This exclusive might as well have been a Black Hole Stormtroopers or an ATOC CLone Lt.

I wish the rest of you luck.

jokabofe · « **Reply #29 on:** March 05, 2008, 04:40:01 PM »

WOW, this sucks. So he's going to put 360 up on ebay next week. And 2000 people are all going to go on ebay at the same time and clog up their servers, and more than half of these will go to scumbag scalpers.
