Me too.
I think my tendancy when talking about figures is to call him "Old Ben" for OT and "Obi-Wan" for PT, especially for TPM.

Here on the Perimeter
I was told by CS they only have ONE guy shipping these with the Holiday sched and all, pour soul.
My deal is IF they don't ship mine today, it won't ship until the 27th b/c I'll be away... fingers crossed for a QN today.
I think Old Ben carries with it the weight of all he accomplished in his lifetime and the quality of person he is, it's a noble sounding tilte almost like Sir Alec Guinnes, whereas Ben Kenobi sounds almost like some punk kid, "Eh, you seen Ben Kenobi around here, little punk owes me some money."
:eek, man, granted I really want this figure, but they really should have just waited to ship Old Ben until after the break, that's just way too much a load for one person to take on, especially during the holidays. I hope that person gets a HUGE bonus for their efforts.

Old Ben is a bit redundant. Just "Ben" will work since he was never known as Ben in the PT. But what about when TPM Obi-wan is announced - will they be Obi-wan, old Obi-wan and Really Old Obi-wan?
Oh, and mine should be waiting for me when I get home tonight!!!!

I guess it's Padawan Obi-Wan for TPM.

For me, "Old Ben" also indicates my fondness for Luke and his brief yet profound relationship with him. I think thats how I used to refer to him when playing with my Kenners back in the day.
Old Ben conjures up images of a crazy old hermit who used to be a general during the clone wars.

Item shipping soon :chew

We'll still need Attack of the Clones to complete the circle though. I'd love to have an Obi-Wan evolutions display.

Was his look really that different between AOC and ROTS? Without checking images I immediately know the differences from TPM, but for AOC to ROTS-not so much.
Mine is still at "Order Placed".
(P.S. Is this normal? Or am I the only one?)

His outer tunic was gray and his inner tunic was white in AotC. His lightsaber was alot different too.

Pretty big difference to me. AOTC he had a more even beard and long hair. ROTS he had that half beard half goatee thing and his hair was much more clean cut.
The outfit in AOTC is a lot darker tan as well.
By far my favorite PT Obi-Wan is TPM though.

\It is THE NORM apparently for many of us that post here.

Poops!
Oh well... I just wanted to make sure, as I've had orders "stuck" before and I had to call a SSC rep in order to get it actually shipped.
I will maintain Jedi-like patience.
