I broke down and ordered the commander gree helmet, boy is that one sweet collectable cant wait to get it, it will be my first helmet. :troopersmile
I ordered one too too! Had trouble getting online to MR's site when it went on sale (I was still in Taiwan), but I managed to order one the next day. Here's hoping they manage to actually make it before the license runs out at the end of 2007.
I broke down to, I thought about it for a few days, and they still had some left, so I preordered it. The Gree will be my First Helmet as well. The pictures of this were just to cool for me to pass up. Since I am in the MR collectors Society now, I might also get the Boba Fett helmet as well when it comes out and use to 10 percent off. Was thinking about how I will display the Helmet when it arrives, and Felt that Two would look better then one ;)
I've got the classic stormtrooper helmet on order too. For those that want to see the Gree Helmet we are talking about:
I will probably get the shadow trooper helmet as that is going to be a limit of 500 now and open too cs members

When is that due to go on sale? Any date yet??
They have delayed it as they have increased the size from 100 to 500 no lottery, I may also get the Mara Jade lightsaber if it is any good too.
June 13 was the date mentioned from the Rebelscum Chat last night
I'm hesitant to buy any significant MR product this year. In years past, MR has impressed me when they've delayed product to get it right. My concern would be that they'll have to rush product to market at the end of the year to get it out by the date the license expires. This is more a concern for the helmets, which have had issues before.
Got notice in my Email that the Gree Helmet will be shipping out next week. Looks like this one will be a reality :)
Got my notice today also
WOW! That was kind of quick. Got my notice too.
I can't wait to see some photos, guys.
I can only shiver as I imagine what I'm going to have to pay on the secondary market for one. If anyone here eventually wants to part with one, let me know.
Todd, you should email Master Replicas and see if you can get added to a waiting list. I suspect some people will cancel their orders, so there might be some more that come available. I know reading through some of the different forums, that some mentioned that they had preordered the Helmet, and were thinking of cancelling.
As well, in your other Thread, you mentioned that one of your wish list was the Shocktrooper Helmet. A friend of mine has one and he is thinking of selling it, if you would like I can ask him about it.

Great advice! Just sent my e-mail. I am interested in the Shock Trooper your friend has, my e-mail is: Todd66ovi@aol.com.
Thanks,
Todd
I will pass your email on to him Todd, and let him know you might be interested.
Got my email my helmet will be shipping out tommorow, can hardly wait to get my hands on my gree helmet, should be arriving sometime next week.
Yes, I got my Note Today as well, looking forward to getting my Helmet as well
Heres my helmet. # 336 let me know what you think
That is so awesome! VERY COOL!
Congrats man.
Nice looking helmet.
:troopersmile
Nice pic of yours iceman. I got # 396. Did yours smell a lot of fresh paint when you opened it up? I think they paint these things and then shove them right into the box!
Yes it did, It is by far the best helmet
Cool Stuff, I am really hoping mine comes soon. Iceman, what company was your helmet shipped by?
Master replicas has changed their shipping department from nj to CA It will be shipped via fedex, but dont expect a tracking number as I and many others did not get one. Master replicas customer service was not aware of the change until I phoned them about it..
So expect it to come via fed ex my shipping notice said downloaded to fc until this morning when it changed to shipped. It shipped out on the 28th, I am in Canada it was in toronto on saturday.
hopes this helps
Mine arrived today, so I am happy, and by FedEx, Duty was not as much as I was expecting as well, so doubly happy. No time to take it out of the Box yet as busy all Day, and grocery shopping with my Wife, so I have to wait until later tonight :(
Make sure to put it someplace you don't mind the smell of paint for a few days. ;)
I have Mine airing down in my basement right now ;). I have to find a place to Display it now, might have to move some of my Sideshow Figures. Good thing I have next week off, as I can move some things around. I got Number 461, so near the end of the run. I broke down and Ordered the Boba Fett Helmet after being so impressed with this one. MR had sent out an email about what they had in stock remaining for Star Wars, so I thought if I wanted the Fett Helmet, it might not be around much longer if I waited.
Cool. Any discounts going on the Fett helmet? Not that I need anything more to buy for awhile. ;)
I was going to joke that the paint is scuffed in a few places but I figured it'd be lame since it's clearly supposed to be weathered. I really want to buy some of this stuff but I just can't justify the cost (more to my wife then myself!)
The Gree helmet is based off the camo type clone trooper gear that they wore on the Wookie planet in Episode 3. Yes - it's suppose to be scuffed and sort of beat up looking. Gree is the guy that tries to take out Yoda and learns that was a mistake.
I bought the Fett, as there is limited stock left on it. Does not look like there are going to be a sale on anything in the short term, at least nothing with a limited Edition (well except for the Fett Blaster and Lukes from ESB which look like they still have plenty)
