Seems fair to me. No flexpay, discounts, or rewards on waitlisted items.

My waitlist for Chewie converted yesterday, SS let me turn it into a flexpay since it won't be here until June or July..

Did you call them for that? It's never given me the option for waitlisted stuff.

I think if it is in stock ready to ship you can't do Flex on WL but if it still a few months out you can.

If this was has already been released in Asia, why do a lot of eBay sellers in Asia still have this listed as pre-order?

They may not be "premium" accounts for HT

That's standard. A lot of sellers in Asia won't yet have their stick just because it has officially released for purchase.

Only a few normally get it in hand for immediate resale.

Do you consider this a must have for your Star Wars New Hope set?

Without a doubt.

I did a live chat with customer support and they made it happen.

I had a long chat with customer service too about all the stuff they do for Kamandi.

I've sold mine. Not because I want the next 'new thing', (notice I've not bought Boba) it's because a part from the sculpt, there was nothing I liked about it. Just felt very cheap and toyish to me. Will wait for an ESB Leia.

OMG...

I want her for my solitaire Luke... but... I don't wanna a doll for Luke...

I'm afraid even with the best sculpt, Leia is a huge price gouge given what she comes with.

No argument, but need ANH Leia to complete the set. And the sculpt is SO good, it makes up for "a great many things."

I respect your opinion Para, but I can't share it. For such a small figure with so few accessories she's got fantastic shelf presence. Really draws your eye to her, the body's as good as any other HT body and the sculpt compels your attention because it's so good. I know this kind of thing is subjective - I think Kylo Ren is toyish - but is it really the figure you don't like or the fact that it's expensive 'for what it is'?

I'm "new". My first HotToys has been Luke Skywalker... and then... I felt that I "need" a companion. When I saw Leia sculpt, I had no doubts. But I'm still worried about her clothes...

Yes, you're right, it's totally subjective and I wouldn't expect others to share my thoughts on her or sway anyone not to purchase one. The expense doesn't bother me, it's more so the figure as a whole. Like Luke, once there were things I disliked about it, it's presence on the shelf was annoying to me, so she had to go.

Ok, if Luke had to go too, I'm not worried. I love Luke figure.
