Seriously, like a 10 percent chance I'd say.

They shouldn't put it on their "Coming Soon" page then. That's false advertising.
It would be cool though. I wait in hope. Perhaps the more people who send them an email the higher chance there is. Shows interest.
I just did. Everyone else should as well. Here's the link.

I'd be surprised but the economics of it seem to make vehicles less and less likely, but there is the Delorian, so there is still hope. Wish they'd do a collectors club where they could guage interest and build to demand over an extended period of time so some of these cool items like the '66 Batmobile, Falcon cockpit, Rey's Speeder, etc could stand a better than market force chance of seeing the light of day.

Looks like trooper JB007 is right behind her to apprehend her.

Yes, they should do something like a collectors club, or interest surveys by email.
The fact that HT clearly over produced TFA line, and underproduced Rogue One shows HT don't really have a good handle on the Star Wars 1/6 market.
To their defence it is difficult for them there in Hong Kong. Star Wars is not very popular, so how can they gauge things ?
OK they have Sideshow I guess, and previous sales figures, but that doesn't really help to gauge interest. I can also imagine it is hard to estimate popularity without anyone seeing the movie. But for vehicles and characters after the movie release (like interesting characters such as Edrio Two Tubes say) a market survey would work well. Just like if someone is planning on making a run of something to sell. They ask first.
I'm going to send HT an email suggesting this. Love sending them emails. They're probably all directly deleted, but if we don't tell them what we think, how can they know ?

Rant end.

I agree. I think this was a lesson for them, being that OT stuff will always sell better than the new stuff. I also think the fact that the new trooper design wasn't as huge a hit as they anticipated.

Yeah don't know what they were thinking with that Duck design ? Rogue one troopers were far more Star Wars looking imo and cool as well.
They are meant to look like living skeletons. It's described in "the art of TFA". That explaination works for me.
I definitely see a skull as the basic concept of the helmet there.

Yeah OK I guess I can try and make that work.
Just not what I would have picked from the probably hundreds of concept art sketches available to pick from. But I guess that was JJ's call in the end.

There's also an improved design for the helmet of the Stormtroopers from The Last Jedi. Take a look at a comparison.

Crazy
Yeah, that's totally not photoshopped at all.
My uncle works at Disney and that is totally real. Guaranteed.

I ordered this yesterday with a $25 coupon. Seeing all the pictures posted of the various outfit configurations pretty much sold it to me. It was between this and the AT-AT Driver, but decided on this one first. Plus the BB-8 which I've been needing in my display.
Still in for a TLJ Rey version with her hair down and modified outfit.

Congrats! Is this the first Rey in your collection? Or do you have ROV Rey already? I forget who all you have or don't have.

Thanks! I do have Resistance Rey, and that one is really nice as well. Now I can have two different looks on display.

Got the set a couple days ago. Rey is a very nice figure. The outfit and accessories are terrific. I just wish the left gloved hands had a bigger opening so the bracelet could fit inside easier. BB-8 is really nice as well. Glad to have them for my TFA display.
I really do like the Scavenger look with head wrap on, but since it's not supposed to stay on for long periods of time I'll only leave it one for maybe a couple days at most. Bummer since it's my favorite look for the figure. I might have to get a custom head just for the head wrap.
