If HT ever does another Bespin Luke, it won't be the same as this set. So likely no antenna or other accessories.

I was regretting not having this one... but there's always ANH Luke or Jedi Luke to get.
If I was to have one representation of each character it would be cool to have Han and Chewie (ANH) together and Jedi Luke and Slave Leia (if she happens) together too.

From what I have seen this figure is a grail in its own right. I don't believe we will see its like from hot toys again at the price we paid for 2 well made figures with such a great dio piece as the antenna. Plus it is one of my favorites for an exclusive.
With HT taking the reins with Star Wars, I'm very pleased to have picked this one up. My favorite Luke iteration.
Sadly, I still have the BD version in the box.
I imagine once the HT figures start arriving in-hand I'll be motivated to try a BD Bespin Luke on the shelf for a while instead of the squeaky clean one.

IMO, people toss around the word grail far too easily. If you can lay your hands on it any day of the week for a modest price, I don't think something really qualifies as a grail. Just saying.
And War -Gar, get both displayed stat. Swap the hair pieces, maybe you'll find more inspiration in possible setups that way.

The hair swap is a must -- clean hair on BD head is what I want to do. Fighting Luke.
But I don't want both on the shelf at the same time. One is good. For me, beat-to-hell Bespin Luke is the ultimate (without the Beiber hair of course).

Use one on the awesome weather vane, mounted far enough from the shelf where you put the first, that it's not in conflict. 
I'm also averse to multiple of the same character, but I found a nice spot for the weathervane, where viewing it requires you turn you back to the clean Luke fighting Vader in a Detolf.

That's good, but since I want the BD on the shelf, that means weathervane Luke would be "clean", which would be odd. Unless I just go for "cut-scene" -I can see my house from here- Luke.

I decided to put my custom jedi knight hot toys luke on ebay and it does include the bespin set. Hot toys is pumping out to many star wars figures for me too keep up especially with dc and marvel figures coming out as well. Sad to let this go.

Don't be sad. You're selling because you can't buy every one of HT's new SW figures? So, don't be a completist. Cherry pick your favorites.
Right now I have have a SS Vader I'm happy with so I will be passing on the HT one. When they start doing deep background characters I can tell you they will be easy passes. I will pre-cancel my pre-order on Random BG Cloud City Guy (except Ice Cream Maker Man. He's my hero. He better show up in VII.)

Okay.
So many opportunities to get this piece, I passed on it so many times. I knew the quality was there but didn't think the likeness warranted the price, etc. etc.
My curiosity finally got the better of me and I'm floored.
I don't think everything HT does is gold, but this thing exceeds expectations. The BD likeness is of course better...but the whole package just screams quality and detail. I'm working all day so only had time to crack it open and gawk, and to write this.
I was wrong.

I just re-bought this from teemu, who gave an amazing deal. Happy to have it back!

Well said. I was just thinking that this is a figure that doesn't photograph that well but looks fantastic in-hand. I know I'm always a little astonished when I take the box out and examine everything we got, especially for that $300.00 price point.
