Bespin Luke 12" figure

[Darth Madden]

I canceled mine.. I needed to save that $ for the Dooku/Yoda diorama and Palps 2-pack. I'm sure I'll get him somday though.

 

[OSCORP]

Same, gonna get him later on though.

 

[galactiboy]

I think figures typically do ship to the EU later than in the US. Not always, but most times.

 

[Amir]

It's always later, I think it works something crazy like this, all the stuff get shipped from China to US Sideshow warehouse, then it gets distributed to the EU warehouse. I could be wrong on this but I remember someone explaining the process once, that's why EU folks always get their figures a couple of months after the North American Folks.

Right now I'm thinking the same thing about Old Ben!

I am there too on Old Ben. Man, I feel far behind on the Exclusives.

 

[piccolodaimaoh]

On the bright side, the exclusive accessory isn't really a must-have in my opinion, so if the waitlist doesn't come through I can always fall back on the regular version I have on order elsewhere.

I know you are right, but I usually get both the exclusive and the regular so I can open the regular and keep the exclusive in package. I know I am getting the regular Luke but I would feel bad about missing out on the exclusive version of my favorite Star Wars hero in my favorite outfit.
It is childish, I know, but I want what I want and I deserve whatever I want!

Awesome!

 

[The Mike]

Whoo-hoo! 3-5 days, if mine ships out on that timetable assuming Day 4 (yeah, right) but if it does I should have mine right before Thanksgiving!

 

[pixletwin]

Yay! I just got mine too. I hope I get my Hurricane Exclusive Vader head at the same time.

 

[Batty]

Got my notice. It should be a nice little Thanksgiving gift.

 

[The Josh]

I'm thinking of displaying him with the exclusive. Something different since Jedi Luke I have displayed with his lightsaber.

 

[ProgMatinee]

I think this figure represents a good measuring stick for the progress of the line. The last Luke was considered by many a disappointment and aside from that Luke and Assajj the other recent items were stuff like the table, hologram and Bubo.

If this Luke is a disappointment I can see more people jumping off, but if its a hit I think people will be reinvigurated.

A Les repaint has made Yavin Luke one of my faves (currently have him displayed in the place on honor on my desk). Jedi Luke, I possess a compulsive disporder to buy him over and over. (I guess I have bought 5 Lukes in all-I currently have 3 of those).

SS can't g wrong with Bespin Luke in my eyes. He will look awesome. No doubt about it.

Despite my message board personality, I'm pretty much an optimist (its just too boring to not recognize the faults and demand improvements)...so I agree the figure seems like a sure winner, especially if those changes to the pockets and collar really happened.

If not...

I think a lot of guys will have Josh (DA) weather theirs for a Dagobah or ESB Final Battle Luke. I also think the Exclusive is way under-rated, if you do a ESB FB Luke, it is absolutely essential. Either way the outfit will need to be weathered or distressed to do one of those Versions correctly. Personally, I think a ESB FB Luke with Hurricane light up sabres is THE Luke to do.

For the Dagobah Luke guys out there, some weathering and maybe a custom back pack with a Med Yoda would be an amazing custom Fig to have.

 

[paulcarson]

Just ship it out to me already !

I'm just hoping that it won't be too far behind you guys when I receive mine. I'd like to receive it before the postal system starts to go into meltdown ( festive period )

 

[Prime Clone]

Now, where are those production pics?

 

[Memnoch]

I can't wait to get him, aaand mine should be among the first since I got mine at SDCC. Man, can't believe it's been that long.
