Salacious B. Crumb is NOW SHIPPING! Sign up for the Wait List!
 Yep, that's right! Our much-anticipated Salcious B. Crumb life-size figure, which has been sculpted for Sideshow by the original designer of the creature in the film, is now shipping from our U.S. warehouse. The little guy arrived a bit earlier than we anticipated, so if you have been paying through our FLEXpay program, be sure to send an e-mail to CustomerService@SideshowCollectibles.com if you'd like to speed up your payments for quicker delivery! (If you do e-mail us, please include your order number and account information.) Plus, he's also a bit heavier than anticipated and must be shipped as an 'oversized' item, so actual shipping costs may be a bit more than originally estimated. We apologize for any inconvenience this early shipment may have caused, but we are confident Mr. Crumb will become the centerpiece of your Star Wars collection when he arrives! Be sure to leave a review on his product page once you receive him, and if you were unfortunate enough to have missed out on the original Pre-Ordering opportunity, be sure to sign up for the Wait List as soon as possible, as reservations will continue to be fulfilled on a first come, first served basis while supplies last!
