Was Fett ever listed as limited? I thought it might have been blank in that respect, meaning an open edition.

On his product page at SSC it says "Limited Edition". Of course, they don't state how limited. There is no edition size or anything like that, so they always have a loophole I guess.

I was wondering if that limited edition was new. As in since this came back this past July.

Yeah, just limited... which for most figures seems to mean a finite amount; Bossk for instance is "limted" and lists 3,000 units. The 1:1 Vader bust is also listed as limited, but that one has always been touted as an open edition 
Reposed my boba with a bit of a good, the bad and the ugly vibe. love the versatility of the cape.
So is that really the color of green the figure comes as? Think I'll definitely have to repaint mine when I get it if that's the case (no offense to your figure).

Just got Boba Fett in the mail from SS today.... it's a pretty cool figure... I'm not sure if HT's will even make a 1/6 scale Boba Fett so I figure it's best to grab a SS one while I can...

They probably will when they get to making ESB and/or ROTJ figures.

D'oh!
After fiddling with Boba last night I forgot to put him back on a figure stand. In the night he made a bid for freedom and took a late night nosedive. off the shelf. Survived mostly OK, but managed to break off one of the jetpack hooks (Annoying! difficult to fix!), one of the prongs from the left gauntlet (fixable..?) and the rangefinder from his helmet (easily fixable with glue).
Any tips for how I can fix the jetpack? I have heard some people fix it on with magnets? OR anyone have a spare to trade?

They haven't even been released yet. All bad press is from the "prototypes". If unsure wait until you see in hand pics and get some reviews.
I believe it is already sold out again.

There have been a few popping up on ebay for around the same price (or even cheaper). Unless you really want to wait, that's probably a better bet at this point.
It was never for sale again. It's just that some people who had it on waitlist have been getting their orders fulfilled.

Got mine today from Sideshow. I haven't taken him out of the box yet, but he looks pretty great from what I can see. The vest is still pretty boxy so it doesn't have the improvements that were on the white prototype versions. I didn't really expect it to be any different than the original first run, but it would have been nice if it had. No worries though. From what I have read, it sounds like a pretty easy mod to fix the boxy vest.

Easy? 
Have you actually looked at the tutorials? It's pretty fiddly.

I watched a couple of videos that involved unscrewing the backplate and then cutting off some excess plastic from the underside of the vest front. It didn't appear too difficult, but perhaps it is trickier than it looks. Regardless, I probably won't do it anyway. After I got him unboxed and posed on my shelf the armor doesn't bother me.

The boxy vest is indeed bad, but there are a few very simple and easy ways to fix it. Do a search for the Boba modifications thread, or look through this thread and you'll see.
Ok I just received mine today, and I think I FINALLY understand what all the "boxy vest" talk was about. I assumed there was something wrong with the shape of the armor plates or they were too small or not spaced properly or something, and couldn't really see any difference with the movie costume. But it's actually the underlying chest piece that is way too flat and boxy for some reason.
Still though, at the moment it's not something that's really bugging me that much, especially since the rest of the figure is so incredibly freakin cool. The green seems to be a tad too dark, but that's the only thing jumping out at me at the moment.
