This is one of the very best Sideshow pieces, background or not. If you have the spare cash, this is worth having imo.
tempted by the $50 off...
But $200 still seems crazy high for this background piece. And I have no other Hoth figures to go with it. And no snow-base.

The top can be popped off on the lower body as well as on the head, allowing you to transform this from a $250 collectible to a $2500 one.
Detailed instructions:
1. First apply some additional weathering, including snow-colored effects and texture
2. Remove top "head"
3. Open compartment on head and remove the top of the lower body (pull it off, it won't break)
4. Fill the lower body with sand and replace its cover
5. Put head back on, fill it with sand and replace hatch
And there you go. This "weighting" is exactly what makes the difference between many $400 and $4000 pieces of audio equipment (in this cases metal plates, wire windings and heavy gauge steel cases are used instead of sand).
Wow, all this battery leak talk has me freaked out. I better check mine soon, though I don't think I've ever had the lights or sound on for more than a few seconds maybe 2-4 times...
Mine is due to arrive later this week.
Wor-Gar, the $50 discount made the difference for me, even though I would have preferred the snow base as well. But I figure I can come up with a custom base, if the black "sliced in half raquetball" base bothers me too much...
Finally, another option would be to fill it with Unobtainium, which would raise the value into the millions...
