I just bought a second r2 in case. If c3po comes out without an r2 on the market, r2 will skyrocket. It is an awesome figure and I now have an r2 for each ot movie. Also, I?m sure pt r2 will debut at some point to milk the release.
I truly wonder what is the hang up on HT 3PO. Really doesn't make sense. Especially when the Asian market loves robots in general. That figure would likely sell more than usual just to robot fans alone.
C-3PO is the last critical HT character for me stemming from the Magnificent 7 heroes from the original film.
(although I wish they'd redo Han and Ben from that movie)
