    The jawas are up! 220 for two! Not to bad of a deal. I need to see some better photos first though.

    The prototypes of the Jawas at Celebration looked great. I might have to pass on them though - I just have too many figures on pre-order. Speaking of which I just got notified that my first payment for X-Wing Luke is about to charge. That should mean that they're looking at October for release.

    Yeah, I gotta admit, the jawas are pretty low on my priority list. They also announce a Darth Maul and an AT-AT driver. I'd like the maul, but I'm gonna put my foot down and NOT buy the troopers in this scale. I'm not a millionaire, I just won't be able to afford that stuff. They're also not cheaper like the clones are, so it's especially hard to justify them.

    Darth Maul? Meh. I like Maul, I have lots of Maul stuff but there are tons of other prequel characters I would love to have before him. I'm happy w/ my Hasbro version.

    AT-AT driver - eh I've got nowhere to display him. The only troopers I like are Sandtroopers and even those I won't spend hundreds of dollars on.

    I actually would really love the Jawas, especially since their eyes light up. I've got a whole herd of 12" scale Jawas that they'd go great with. I've got my Hot Toys Obi-Wan and Luke that I'll be paying on around the same time that they're going to be released though, I just don't think I can handle another payment plan during that timeframe.

    I'm pretty picky about my sixth scale collection. I'm not sure if Maul will make the cut. If he's over $199 I doubt he will be anywhere on my list of things to pick up.

    I'm just going to leave this here by calling this the Bank Buster of the year.....


    Go strap yourselves in. We’re going to make the jump to light speed.

    Hot Toys has been introducing a number of finely detailed and meticulously crafted collectible figures from the beloved Star Wars series and now Hot Toys is raising the bar once again to bring Star Wars fans some astonishing collectibles of the saga's spacecrafts in 1/6th scale!

    An incredibly detailed prototype of the Millennium Falcon’s cockpit will makes its first appearance at the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con this week, so don’t miss the chance to check it out at Booth #1929 during the event!

    Leia, Stormtrooper Luke and a tie fighter have all been shown! Leia looks great, but her face might be a little to round for me. I'll end up pickin her up. Stormtrooper Luke uses the same head as farm boy Luke. The helmet is a pretty cool accessory since the actual inside of it is sculpted, so you can see what the inside of a Stormtrooper helmet looks like. The tie fighter.... Why? Whose going to be able to afford that? Lol

    I think it's for the people who love the giant life sized statues and busts. It'll probably be $1000K or more - they'll sell.

    I really like the Falcon cockpit, but there's no way I'd be able to afford that thing or have room for it.

    Leia looks great, remember though her face was round in the first film. I wish she had real hair, but she is amazing, she's definitely on my 'to get' list.

    They have 1/6 scale Boba too - I thought they were only doing a 1/4 scale of him so that's cool.

    Luke in Stormtrooper gear looks good, but I'll pass on that. I'm going to try and get the Hot Toys 1/6 Boba Fett, and I will make sure I get the SSC 1/6 Darth Maul 2.0.

    At $230 a figure I can't afford to get everything I might want. I have to pass on Stormtrooper Luke, even though he looks great.


    So here's a pic Hot Toys posted that shows the scale of the Tie Fighter and cockpit.

    IF they use materials similar to what my Bespin Luke's weathervane is like (which is quality plastic) they might not be TOO bad for pricing...but who knows? The cost will probably come from all of the lights, etc.

    I think that Tie is close to 4" tall. Next to it the cockpit doesn't look so huge.

    "Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.” – Princess Leia
    The brave and strong-willed Princess Leia is a beloved character in the original Star Wars trilogy. Her important role in leading the rebellion against the Galactic Empire is unforgettable to any Star Wars fans! Following the introduction of the Hot Toys Luke Skywalker 1/6th scale Collectible Figure, today we are excited to officially present his twin sister, the Princess Leia 1/6th scale Collectible Figure from Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope!
    The movie-accurate collectible figure is specially crafted based on the image of Carrier Fisher as Princess Leia in the film featuring a newly developed head sculpt, detailed hair sculpture of Princess Leia’s iconic hair style, specially tailored costume, two types of blasters, and a figure stand.
    A special edition is available in selected markets which include a specially designed backdrop as bonus accessory.
    Fans don’t miss the chance to pre-order this wonderful collectible figure to your Star Wars collection!

    I'm hoping since she doesn't have a million accessories that maybe she'll be under $200.

    Canceled my Jango Fett exclusive. Since he was wait listed, I was never able to put him on a payment plan. Just can't do it without one.

    That's too bad Gamma626 - I always hate having to cancel my pre-orders.

    I just put the pre-order in for Leia - she's up for $204.99. Expected delivery sometime between Nov-Jan 2016 - which means April 2016. Order her now to get the backdrop.

    Yeah, it sucks. It is what it is I guess! Maybe someday I'll be able to pick him up again!

    I'd like to see some final photos of Leia myself before I order her. I feel like I could end up buying just her head, and making custom clothing on her for a fraction of the price. It's the clothes that haven't sold me yet. She's to Barbie ish.

    I'm just worried about the fabric, Sideshow's Leia looked fine but they used the cheapest rayon for her dress w/ none of the seams being finished or anything. It's bad when the short, squatty Hasbro 12" Leia had nicer fabric used for her white gown than Sideshow's much more expensive figure.

    Yeah, I think that's what's worrying me most right now. The fabric is definitely my main concern!

    accidental double post, so I'll ask:

    What's your favorite Leia costume from the three films?

    I love either her Endor dress or the Bespin Maroon pantsuit - mostly because both outfits are so highly, highly under represented in any merchandising.

    Got a notice that Han and Chewie have been delayed one more payment cycle - so end of August instead of beginning. On the plus side my card won't get hit for both that and my X-Wing Luke at once.

    Both Bespin Leias are my favorites. I'd love either in hot toys form.
