Finally got my Leia/R2 Maquette yesterday #3245 ! I don't have the words to express how much I love this piece!
I really think that's my favorite piece out of my entire collection. They really captured Leia well.

I've always been eyeing that Leia and R2 piece, I think that actually may be my first maquette purchase.
I've been looking over the OT characters they have out now, and I noticed that they should definitely make an Obi-Wan. He would sell like hot cakes, and would look great next to Vader as if they're in the duel from ANH. Character's I'd like to see from the OT:
- Obi-Wan
- ROTJ Luke
- Slave Leia? 
- Stormtrooper Han/Luke?
- R2 and 3PO together?
Just some suggestions.

I'm a HUGE fan of the look of Boba Fett the charactor in general plus the maquette so me saying I think I like the Leia R2 one more and that so far it's my favorite out of all the maquette I've seen and probably one of my favorite collectables I own is saying something.
The Leia one was a big reason I got the Ikea case to display my stuff in the first place.
here's an updated view with the new r2d2 cookie jar down below but you can't see it to well. It's pretty cool though it looks like it has sand on the legs and in the cracks.
I'm still waiting for the Han and Chewie maquettes to grow on me a little. And a OB1 and Slave Leia one would be sweet.

Thanks man!
Yeah the detolf glass case is pretty nice. It saves some space not having to be framed by wood like a cabinet but it forced me to stop hitting golf balls around in my living room.  I'm a big fan of the look of it.

StarWars.com posted:
Hyperspace members who collect Gentle Giant's celebrated Clone Wars animated maquettes will want to head over to StarWarsShop on Friday, July 20, when the final maquette in the collection based on the Emmy Award Winning Cartoon Network series goes up for sale: Mace Windu!
Limited to 1,000 pieces worldwide and exclusive to StarWarsShop.com, Hyperspace members will get first crack at grabbing this stunning exclusive, which will have a limit of one per person. After three days (Friday afternoon through Monday morning, PST), whatever units remain will be offered to the general public.
Collectors of this series may remember a similar offering for the Padmé "snowbunny" maquette, which was a StarWarsShop exclusive limited to only 1,000 pieces -- if you missed that one, here's a chance to grab an equally rare piece, which will be the last in the line!
Got my order in.

Me too. I will note that when the Padme maquette was released, she was supposed to be the last one, and the insanity that hit after that one hit the secondary market changed things. So, I'll believe that Mace will be the last when they stop making Clone Wars maquettes.

I belive it's already been announced that Mace will be the last either PT and/or Clone Wars maquette made.

When the Padme maquette was released, they announced that she was the last of 5 maquettes, so they clearly had a change of heart(and given how popular these became I don't blame them). I'm merely saying that I believe Mace will be the last when they don't make any more.

On Friday, once it went up, you could see the link for the maquette and an item description. However, if you were not logged into SWShop.com as a Hyperspace user, than you could not see the add to cart button.

Looks like we're getting an Emperor Maquette come spring 2008. Can't wait to see this one in its final form.

So much for Mace being the final maquette ever produced.
