I would have to say HT retailed Han way too expensive in comparison to Chewie

That can't be the real price.
When I heard Hot Toys got the SW license, I was thinking about which figures they would release first? I didn't buy the Anakin rumors. We'll see him down the line, but not first. I honestly thought a ANH Han should be first, w/ the Stormtrooper gear as an exclusive, then a Chewie. Third would be a ROTJ Fett. I'm very curious to see if I'll be 3 for 3...
Its Singapore $$$ not USD.

Wow!! Totally unexpected on both of these. I may be in depending on the price.
It is. In Singapore dollars.
Yup.
Han is pretty bare bone without much accessories, not to mention he comes with a less than perfect sculpt. Too expensive.

If you convert the retail price listed on that site prior to the discount they're giving, that means $263.86 for Han and $295.85 for Chewie in USD. With that and Sideshow's price hike compared to Asian retail markets, this is going to be a very expensive set of figures for us U.S. residents.

Anything under $300 for Chewie will be instant buy.
That sounds about right. Although I could see Sideshow start to creep it up a little bit since their own figures are now in the Hot Toys prices category.
Oddly, if correct the price for Chewie is less than I would have thought. I would have guess around $300 for him. Han looks like a $189-$199 figure but I guess those days are gone.
They could correct for that by having Chewie closer to $300, and lowering Han to $209.99. Make the set $479.99.

I thought Sideshow just did a Boba Fett? I'm not sure if HT will be allowed to do armored characters since they are using Sideshows license?

I agree with that line of thinking, but Sideshow always seems to have their prices a little higher than the Asian msrp. If what's crossed in Singapore dollars is the true MSRP, then I would expect the Sideshow price to be higher than that.

I always cringe when I see talk on the prices. I know it happens, but I can't help thinking SS base their prices after seeing everyone say what they are willing to pay.
(So pssst, let's all say not more than $190 for Han and $230 for Chewie, delete all the other posts and see what happens! Right...? Right!)

I always feel that way too, but these prices were decided on long ago when they were deciding if they could pull this off with a good profit margin built in. Doubt tehy are watching our guesses and quickly reworking their price.
Of course, you never know. But ultimately, sales dictates prices.

Hot Toys please take my money now! I want this. Make SSC Han look like Barbi doll toy quality. Hope Chewie will be made.
