If your collection is mostly 1/6 and/or you have some or all of the other armors then I'd recommend getting the HT version (however I don't collect 1/9). However you should jump on the WL ASAP. You will have the option of cancelling if you get the conversion notification. I don't know how many folks are currently on the waitlist, but it's probably growing every day. I hopped on the same day it sold out, so I'm hoping mine will convert. I'd been waiting for in-hand reviews because I was planning to use RPs for the purchase. And then all of a sudden it's sold out without so much as a low quantity alert. Right now folks are selling it on ebay for $1,200 - $1,400 although I expect those numbers will cool down once the hype and panic wears off, but it will still probably run around $1K in the secondary. That said, I would love to see HT offer a diecast version as I prefer it to plastic. That would be worth $1,000 - $1,200.
