Got this figure in today. While it's impressive, it's also very flimsy. 2 plastic pieces that need to be glued back together right out of the box and one droid arm that came apart when I inserted it into the main body. Handle with care and have super glue close by.

Agreed. The dodgy part that keeps being mentioned nearly breaks every time I touch it

It was based on the studio scale indeed.

when I got mine nothing was damaged. it also helps to know some one that works for fedx. when he see`s my name on the package he takes extra care that it does not get damaged 
Sent an e-mail to USH about when we might see the probe, no reply yet, there is a post on the facebook page asking for an update from Sept 22 and no reply there either...getting worried, I don't want to have to scramble to re-order all the PO I have with USH with other stores....

I have a bad feeling that SSC won't be sending USH their allotment (I put another Probe Droid on Flex w/Sideshow, back in early Sept, once they got under 30 available -- final payment will be this weekend). Just my hunch, but it wouldn't surprise me if we find out SSC sold through their stock rather than sending on to USH. That was right about the time Spencer was saying that they were no longer dealing with SSC, too. I'm used to a long wait w/USH, but don't recall waiting this long, previously. Also, there is somewhat of a precedent in that SSC sold through their Mythos Obi-Wans, rather than ship them to their European distributors as originally agreed. Hopefully I'm wrong, though!

I got on Sideshow's waitlist on October 1st and it converted to an order less than 2 weeks later.
Local retailer received its shipment. Initially thought about skipping the Probe but both reviews and Hoth figures postponed convinced me to splash the cash. Will get it early next week along Geonosis BD 2-Pack.

I would hate to choose, but honestly, if I could keep only one piece it'd be the Probe. You won't regret it. Beautifully done with great presence.

Probe Droid has finally landed
Not much to say that hasn't already been said.....
Looks great, yes it's light, sound and lights are cool but the sound could go longer.
No problems putting it together just took a gentle hand.
Very very nice addition and perfect for my Hoth display

Great pics! Such a classy and iconic piece.
Today I finally decided to order while it's still available from a local dealer.

Congrats, Gartogg! One of Sideshow's best releases, for sure. Only another week until I get mine.
That's a fabulous display right there 
Hoth Han and Luke will look great in there!
