For me, I have been on the fence for months. My collection is more full costumes and armor (Vader, troopers, Batman, etc) than plain human figures but this one looked so good. When I heard the news , it just pushed me over the edge as Leia was a hero to me and I felt it was a fitting tribute and I knew my time to make a decision would be cut short.

I don't know, but are you guys serious? Why the sudden love for Carrie Fisher?
I'll admit her career in films other than portraying Leia was mediocre to subpar at best..but she will always be the one true legendary princess of SW

I haven't bought Star Wars, because I know how expensive the OT would get for me, and tbh the sculpts have been a bit of a mix, but a General Leia could inspire me getting all 3 OT leads in their 'final form' (so to speak) as kind of a tribute to their characters after being an OT fan for 35 years and counting.. Old Han if he matches the early shots we've seen, does look very good.

it`s a sick world making a profit after her death

I'd like them to do a Yavin Ceremony Leia, to me, she never looked more beautiful in the OT Trilogy.
Still can't believe she was only 19, mind boggling.

She's been waitlisted on sideshow. Seems like she'll be gone fast now.
That's very sweet.

Found this gif posted in another thread by Golden Boy. Had to share.

Yoda looks like a clueless toddler there.
I think it's ok that people want a Leia figure now that Carrie Fisher has passed, but there's no reason to pay ridiculous prices for it. The people buying to sell is sick. There will continue to be Leia figures and merchandise made. I wouldn't be surprised if Hot Toys did another run of this figure and will release versions from Empire and Jedi.
I find it strange that this is sold out because of her death. It seems self perpetual. People are buying because they think it will sell out and scalpers will charge a fortune and scalpers are buying because people are buying because...start the sentence again. Anyway, here's a shot I did a few months ago.

I'm sitting here watching Phantom Menace, and I love that Natalie Portman was only 18 in this. Compared to Fisher in ANH.

Props to Popcultcha. Not only do they have her for a good price, but there is a limit of 1 per order to at least try and discourage scalping.
Portman was 16 in TPM. 19 in AOTC.
