1/6 Hot Toys - MMS - Star Wars: Episode IV - Han Solo (Stormtrooper Disguise)

[Denver5280]

I'm surprised this isn't waitlisted yet. I thought this would go quick which is why I preordered immediately.

 

[TonTon]

I think marco just meant from that angle the sculpt is identical?

 

[Droid747]

Just placed my preorder for this. It will go nicely with my luke stormtrooper disquise. Used my saved up rp so after the rp and nrd, it will only cost me $100 when it is ready to ship

 

[jutty]

Decided to bite the bullet on this before losing out to being waitlisted.. Ordered
( Flex pay makes life so much easier )

 

[Lejuan]

I wasn't interested at first, but... extra sculpt for ANH Han... extra stormie... Han stormie option... a few reward points... PO'd.

 

[TonTon]

Common theme seems to be using all or some of one's rewards. Think I got him for $180 - $200 shipped myself.

Nice to see some purchases made begrudgingly. Honestly the quickness of the Finn Trooper selloutis what scared me into ordering immediately.

I pre-ordered yesterday then I remembered HT Stormies have rubber suits.

Not the OT troopers.

I think that's just the TFA troopers with rubber suits. The OT and RO stormtroopers use fabric suits.

Same here. Kept looking on this thread and was in two minds, but there seems to be a flurry of PO's so thought I'd get in there while I still can.

Why would they limit this? It's basically a way of reissuing OT Stormtroopers without being criticised and it's an army builder.

Since they flooded the market with Episode VII figures, they seemed to have come to their senses with Rogue one

This isn't Rogue One though, its OT which will be more highly in demand.

Just like Stormie Han is of two faces....smirk/no smirk.

Couldn't resist. That left side (no smirk) profile actually looks damn good. Need another ANH trooper for my Tantive dio if nothing else, and a few more options to display with the twins...and those $70 in Reward Points weren't going to spend themselves.

I have to say, though, between the slightly higher prices, NRDs, and exorbitant shipping charges (at least compared to everyone else), my patience with Sideshow is wearing thin. I find my self always looking for a better option first before biting the SS bullet. No choice on this one, though...

 

[Darthrazz]

Just Pre-ordered , with points got him for $78, can't complain here.

 

[Creighton]

I caved and ordered. Heck, I have a WHOLE year to suck it up!

 

[Mad Old Lu]

I'll definitely pre-order this Han, but I'm dragging my feet on a few other figures (HT Snowie, Jyn and K2).

It's hard not to feel like a sucker if you pre-ordered and then see the figure later eligible for a discount, and in some instances literally being given away for free. I'm trying to hold off on pre-ordering and buying only if it's in stock, but you never know! Like people are saying, maybe HT learned their lesson with the TFA figures and some ANH figures being over produced and are now languishing on the website, and therefore will start making less and will then sell out quickly. TFA Han isn't even out in the States and is sold out, and Chewie and the Han/Chewie double pack are on waitlist, so it seems like HT is pulling back a little.

I am in total agreement, I forced myself to preorder this, I missed out on the Finn Stormtrooper thinking it would be easily and cheaply available down the road.

 

[Creighton]

I think this figure will wait list soon. Theres too many display options as mentioned - army builder, extra sculpt, completing the detention block scence..that nifty background...
I wouldn't wait on this one.

 

[QuiGonFishing]

Agree. Pre-ordered today.... And it looks like Sideshow just dumped some extra Reward Points into some of our accounts. I got an additional $20!
