If anyone wants the deluxe it's still available at Pop Culture Zone for $245.99 plus shipping. Based on my experience, their shipping costs are very reasonable so you can probably get the deluxe for less than retail depending on where you live.

Just finished talking with them. Apparently the box for Boba (I ordered Boba/Luke at the same time) was extremely damaged during shipping or something, so they wanted to wait until they got a new one. Would have been nice to know my order has not actually shipped even though they said they shipped it on Monday, but whatever lol. Asking about the status of Luke also and it sounds like they just haven't shipped them at all yet. Definitely could have been a non-issue with some better communication, but pretty bummed at the moment as I was expecting it them to be here yesterday (order was placed on the 18th).
I checked Pop Culture Zone. Prices are good but shipping cost is much higher than BBTS, Sideshow and Popcultcha. Maybe shipping in continental US is cheaper than others, but it does not seem the case for international shipment.

I finally caved and ordered the basic Fett through BBTS. Didn't need the deluxe with all of that stuff that would've just sat in the box. And I would've kicked myself if I'd put it off much longer and he sold out everywhere. He's on the way and should be in front of me by mid-week. After combing the photos in here and watching the various review videos multiple times, I had to do it.
Can't wait to add my two cents and a few shots in here...

Funny you said this, I finally just pulled all that gear out of the box today after having the figure since initial release. Your post inspired me to actually try the proto parts though. Kinda cool.
Need to work on a pose tomorrow.

Cool...post more photos when you have tried more of those alternative parts on him!
No worries, they were fine before and it seems like a mess up in the shipping dept. Shane is cool and responsive per usual. Finally got a new tracking # last night, seems like Boba and Luke should both be here on Wednesday.

It's good that this Hot Toys TESB Fett has the prototype red and yellow gauntlets and such but the prototype armor was not green, it was more of a pastel blue. I want to see a full 100% prototype Boba Fett in 1/6th scale.
It's pretty fun, but so not vital the way the ESB version is. I actually have the ROTJ coming now as I want to do some customizing (removing fat suit, etc), but I may keep some extra parts to have a second Boba figure. We'll see, mainly messing around with this has made me want to track down some different parts to customize a bit more to my liking.

Great shots and some cool strutting poses there! The "alternate" parts look fun, but I'll be happy with my standard one.
(I do like the ankle sheaths and the dark cape a lot though)

The proto is a "nice to have" rather than a must have. However, I think that the deluxe might be more sought after once Boba is sold out everywhere because of it is more loaded with accessories. I personally like more display options especially for times when you just want to switch things up.
That said, I'm looking forward to seeing more pictures of how people are displaying him.

Nice shots, TonTon.
Is your bodysuit actually that blue in hand, did you dye it, or is your auto white balance causing that appearance?
You see. The prototype helmet/mask is more of a pastel blue color but the armor is a green color which looks a lot more like Boba's Return of the Jedi self. If Hot Toys would've just made the pastel blue prototype armor I would've thought about buying this one.
