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 apologize for the delay."

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.
