Right now it looks to be a similar situation of overseas release for very late summer, US release for the fall. Much like the Dewback and AT-ST last year. No clue what it's going to cost yet. My guess for the size though is that it will fit in the reduced footprint Wal Mart has for toys. My real question is what is the depth of the box.

I'm definitely getting this one... Held off on the dewback and the AT-ST (although now my Wal-Mart has them at clearance for $40) but this one'll look great in a complete Jabba's Throne room...

Are you on the square?
Some guy on Rebel Scum got ahold of Rocket-Firing Boba.

Rebel Scum is also reporting that TRU will have AT-AT exclusive packaging recreating the vintage Kenner packaging.

Who has these in stock now? Did you get them locally?

eBay. They're likely rejected figs - my AT-AT Commander has some joint issues but I'm paying near retail and getting them months early. Half the time Hasbro screws up their own figures sooo.

I will have some extra Leias coming though. My first batch of 3 will likely go toward my 1 and then customs, but I've got 4 more coming after that that I mayy do a contest/giveaway for. Probably in mid-June.

There is a guy at RS forums who has the Jabba set coming in the mail soon. Maybe even this week. Here is the link. https://threads.rebelscum.com/showf...93238&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=93&fpart=4

If you'd read down a bit further, you'd have seen where he says "false alarm."
Only today's unknown package was a "false alarm". He has a Jabba on the way which he anticipates to arrive soon. Possibly even this week.
Where are these people getting these from.
MUST...HAVE...JABBA!

The guy getting Jabba early has contacts in Asia. I just patrol eBay.

Any tips on finding stuff like that on ebay? I'd love to get a Jabba early, if it wasn't too expensive.

The Jabba thing is a rarity. That deff didn't come off eBay. There's two stores I usually watch for new figures though.

The other is just a once in a rare while mainly because how long they take to ship.

Yeah, I realize that it didn't come from ebay, but I thought it might crop up later on, before it's available in stores. Thanks for the info.

Yeah, I've gotten from him too. Good stuff. But I also just look around every once in a while get something good. I have a prototype Qui-Gon that came with the Eopie set that I picked up about five months before they started shipping. Has the Hasbro Master markings and is missing some of the paint deco. Got it for 10.00 bucks shipped. There are deals to be had!

Ohhh man. I'm gonna be singing Hasbro's praises for a while. Folks, we now have two solid Leia figures. First being Slave Leia from last year and the second, Hoth Leia. This figure is pretty much EVERYTHING I wanted from this figure. The sculpt is beautiful. The paint is amazing (although her face is quite pale). Articulation is perfect meaning I don't miss the ankle articulation at all. The joints are small and well done. Just the perfect figure. I may give one a bit of a light brown dry brush on the hair to highlight it but I don't think it even needs it. I got 4 today. 1 is now my standard Leia with the correct vintage analogue blaster, the other became a Mynock hunt Leia and the other two... well I think I'll be cool and give one away to a Freak - just gotta formulate an idea on how.
Bad part is - this is a figure meant strictly to be a Hoth Leia. The hips and shoulders look a bit funky for this to be used as a Bespin Escape Leia. Also as I said the face is a pale so there goes hopes of using it to fix/upgrade the Endor Leia, also the ball joints are different sizes.
Either way though, this figure is absolutely 100% perfect in my eyes and is the Leia I have wanted out of Hasbro for years! Now once they go back and fix ANH and Endor Leia I can call it quits on her figures.
