Reposted from the TIE thread since it's totally on-topic here. And you can't start a meme unless you let it spread its wings.

I was about to say WTF is with the no discount buy, then it hit me...

Genius

This will be an amazing figure. You heard it here.

Reading through this thread I think I'm the only one who likes the exclusive head sculp best.

 

[Mike86]

I'm pretty excited to get this figure. Hopefully it turns out as good as the promo pictures.

I'm with the cheerleaders on this one.

I wonder if Sideshow will do Leia in her Hoth gear too. She basically wears that outfit throughout all of The Empire Strikes Back so It'd be a worthy addition to the collection.

It would be hard to believe we won't see a Hoth Leia to join the rest of the crew. I figure SSC will do Leia Hoth and HT will do Leia ANH.

Yeah that'd be the way to go. With SS already doing Han and Luke Hoth, they might as well go full circle and give us Leia too. I'm all in for Hoth at this point.

I have this figure on order and am planning on Han too. Hopefully both come out looking good but if not I'll likely cancel my orders. I'm still really debating the TaunTaun but will only consider one if the Luke and Han figures turn out good. I'm hoping for a Leia too as the Hoth scenes are pretty cool. Sort of wish I would have gotten a Snow Trooper or two but oh well. Probably will pass on the Probe Droid as I don't view it as an essential piece really.

Leia would be great, though the idea of a female head coming out like Nathan Drake is a bit scary.

I have the snowtrooper - it's decent, certainly no bullseye (has quite a few issues.) It's also a fig HT will likely do further down the track.

Probe Droid... you are insane not to get. I've seen in-hand pretty much every SSC SW 1/6 release and the probot is their best. And at only $10 more than Luke X-Wing...

Its cool looking but I dunno. The on screen presence of it isn't much and it just gets blasted pretty much right away.

It probably has as much screen time as Boba Fett.

It is the first "character" you see in ESB and it battles Han Solo in his Hoth outfit, so that's enough for me.

It's a marvel of engineering that looks more like its onscreen counterpart than any other 1/6 figure, but if it doesn't rock your boat I can see that - it's halfway between a character and hardware.

 

[generalgrevious]

I like owning it. It`s a cool centerpiece specially when people notice it right away. yeah it could of had more sounds like the alarm going off sound or the cannon fire sound

Yep, I guess I can see it being considered somewhat ancillary, but it's probably my favourite SSC SW release. It'll never get made again, either, and @ $250.00, it's pretty reasonable considering all the unique casting. Personally I love the design, too. Just an awesome looking 'bot.

I hope we get Hoth Leia, it's been on my want list for a long time.

Its back in stock now and reading your post as well as TaliBane's its sort of calling my name to reconsider. I agree it does have a cool look overall and probably won't be made again. Must resist the urge to order.

What's funny is that people were like "that's way too much!" when PD was announced because they were thinking of E-Web pricing (which itself was criticized for being too high at the time - "it should be no more than $110!") - now in the wake of Luke X-Wing, Probe Droid price is like "what a deal!" type pricing.

<---will pay $240 for Hoth Leia.
