Got 1900 reward points. How much is that cash ?

Would really love to order this but this SW line is going to bleed me dry. I think I'm going to stick with Farm Boy Luke for my ANH collection. Sucks, but gotta prioritize.

Probably the way to go. I think I was won over by the helmet details to be honest. Plus the extra head sculpt could come in handy if I can figure out a good mod to get the bucket on the trooper. Don't think I'd also need a Han version to be honest. Head sculpts fit completely fine on the tall trooper so all you'd need is to grab an extra head and you'd be good.

But I'm already wondering how many Luke's I really need. Visually you probably want an orange one. Jedi Luke I could maybe drop but if that's the dead ringer head sculpt wise I would cave. Bespin will go great with Yoda. Tatooine is hard to pass up given that's where it all started. Honestly any ANH figures will be tough to resist.

Instant order! As will be all of the Hot Toys Star Wars figures. Glad they are sticking with original trilogy... for now.

Doubt Abrams will have anything to do the Anthology films. He's directing TFA then he's out (for a while at least).

He's out because he couldn't stand working with Kathleen Kennedy. He tried to get out during pre-production but couldn't get out of his contract. That's why Rian Johnson was brought it to replace him.

So this one is going to come out a whole half year earlier than the ANH farm luke??

Thanks.

Well I am definately sticking with original SW stuff. Didn't like the prequels and I'll let my kids do the collecting for the current jen figures. Original SW trilogy just had too much of an impact during my childhood.

It's the word used by Hot Toys to describe the helmet. But there's no picture or description of the extra part that would be required to effect the 'change'.

^^Isn't there a saying? A picture is worth one word? Something like that.

Very simple release for them. They already have the short trooper body to work with.

Does this include the belt with the grappling hook thats exclusive for the farmboy luke?

Any speculation whether this will go to waitlist fast?

 

[Prime Clone]

Hope not. Trying to find out if our local distributor will get them in.

Fellow Aussies, do you think Popcultcha will stock it? They've had toy fairs exclusives before...

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

Always a great gif. Can't believe hot toys is gonna trivialize MY *EXCLUSIVE* figure by reusing the parts

 

[swiftwilly]

I am an Aussie. They probably will but after doing the calculations and for the risk that they might not get it it isn't worth it.

You need to remember you cannot simply use a google currency conversion. Your bank doesn't give you that good of a rate.

I think IF popculcha gets it you'll save like $20aud. Imo if you really want it badly not worth the risk. It's not going to be some crazy savings like $50 or anything. Why risk if IF you want it that badly. Everyone is different.

Also no point asking them. I've tried before. Typical answer is we cannot guarantee for certain, working with our partners, check our Facebook blah blah blah.

If you want to save that sort of money in my opinion, skip coffee for a week. Done.

 

[Prime Clone]

Thanks, it's more about supporting local business than saving money, $20 or even $50 here or there isn't a big issue. But as you say, it might not be worth the risk.

Looking at it again and its growing on me but no, can't do it. If I start breaking my Imperials and bad guys only rule I will soon end up with way to many figures and a broken bank account.

So you have only one option: take a deep breath and try to overcome the craving. It´ll stop in a few days. For your consolation, I am going to buy your copy ...
