Should have mine by Thursday or Friday next week!
Excited for this.

Great! We definitely need an in-hand review.

Wow that's three SW releases in the space of a month right? (QS Vader, Crait Luke, R2). This looks great, and another one I need to pick up.... My poor wallet ;-)

Great time for HT to play catch up with the Sequel Trilogy sucking and the MCU slate slowing down a tad.

He does look good but I'm just not thrilled enough to update my SS figure; same with 3PO unless he comes double packed with ESB Chewie and can be dismantled. Looking forward to reviews of this though, cool they had fun with the pics.

I'm with you Dukefett. My SS C3PO will do fine. The weathering is great and to be honest he is my least favourite character. But of course he is iconic, and you can't have R2 without him and vice versa.

I did actually pre-order this R2 because I needed another as I mentioned before. So figured a metallic dome HT version would be worth it, rather than another SS version.

But each to their own though. Looking forward to seeing the difference, but can't say it'll be like opening a DX Maul say or Hulkbuster

Wish it came with a base and a plaque!! Small thing like that might have swayed me from coming out of retirement!!

Yeah right, what is with that ? Could have been a nice base which could have linked with C3PO's base when he arrives to enable people to get both.

I think this is a definite improvement over the Sideshow version and will happily make this my main new R2. I ordered off of Alter Ego when it first went up for pre-order. Had some points that got it down to like $208 shipped which isn't bad.

I can excuse not having a base with a character like R2. It'll stand fine on it's own. There are plenty of custom options if you really want one. I ordered one from Cocoboloboy which is for both R2 and 3PO.

I'm leaning towards your view but if i could get this with a 25 off code and free shipping I would probably cave...or if i drunk shop which I tend to do

Exactly what I did at AE... had $25 b-day coupon and they have free ship on this.

Hopefully Endor Luke next week. I'm afraid we won't get Krennic this year.

Krennic was released in the beginning of QI this year. What are you afraid of?

This looks like the R2 I've been waiting for. Hopefully this will stick around for a while, I'm completely tapped out at the moment.

Most HT stuff hangs on for a good three months or so where you can get a good price on ebay less than retail. I would think HT made plenty of R2s.

I would have waited myself but I had a coupon I needed to burn.

 

[DarkChocobi]

Was wondering eventually how long would I have to wait to receive this little guy, havent even gotten Yoda yet, but it would be nice to have R2 before the end of this year though.

I mean released in Hong Kong, not put up for preorder.

That's what I'm hoping/counting on.

SSC has most figures more than 3 months. So if not cheaper, I think it'll be available at retail prices.

This looks like a no brainer if I didn?t have the HT TFA R2 standing in for OT R2 (and I really like the weathering on that)... not sure I would use the accessories enough to justify another purchase.
Beautiful figure though and I expect it to be same size as TFA R2
