If anyones still looking for this set, The Nile on eBay have it for a ridiculous price, $431AUD, and if you're lucky theirs a discount which takes it to $366AUD.
Of course they dropped the price of this set right after I paid almost full price for the single Endor Leia fig...

As widely assumed, it was indeed b.s.:
"We've just chased this order up with the distributor and they've now advised us that the product cannot be supplied."
Then when pressed, totally different story:
"Due to a technical failure in our product database, we listed it for sale in error. We do not have stock and we're unable to source inventory to fulfil your purchase."
While I wouldn't use the word "scam," I'd add The Nile to the list of suspicious eBay sellers.
