The only thing I truly dislike is the scratch on the square "eye" piece. The seam doesn't look nowhere near as bad as it could be. I might eventually take some paint to this though and try to get a more metallic look on the silver and blue. Overall, I'm pretty happy with him. And the more and more I think of it, I may make this my last Star Wars figures. I may just skip Han and Chewy.

Han I can understand but Chewie (if final production version is done well) will stand out so beautifully in our displays!!!

Have to admit, it's tempting to just cancel all my pre-orders and bail on collecting, especially with the cost having gone up considerably due to our dollar being devalued. Everything I've got I've wanted for a long while, though, so I'll tough it out. Want to be satisfied with what I have within a year or two and be finished, though. I think collecting indefinitely is not something I would find enjoyable.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Invictus Sol again.
I'm right with you. I'm so close to having a "finished" collection in my eyes that I'm soldiering on. I'm happy with what I see from the R2 pics, so I can check that box off. Chewie is also a big box to check. It's not perfect, but it's pretty darn good and the price isn't HT Vader or Thanos crazy. Just a couple more figures need to be announced and I can feel good with my collection.
I'll probably still get a figure here and there in the future just for fun, but I'll have a sense of contentment that I have what I had always wanted.

I've been all over the place planning my 1/6 Star Wars collection for months....but now I have it down to bare essentials...3 Hot Toys Stormtroopers, my Probe Droid and one Sideshow Scout Trooper with Speeder Bike.
There are about three other characters/iterations I'd be very interested in, but no must-haves anymore. I'm feeling pretty chill about it. This property is just too deep for me and eats space.
Anything I've sold off I actually loved; but I guess extreme focus is what I'm about.
The only thing I'm absolutely interested in from Sideshow now is a Snowspeeder Pilot Luke. I would display it with the helmet on so although I want a decent likeness it'd be an easier sell.
I still think the R2 is pretty great overall, but after sleeping on it, I feel good about my eleventh hour cancellation. Had it matched the prototype I may not have.
These are things we have to decide personally on a case by case basis; the Probe Droid didn't match the proto either, but I have no regrets about that, as I'm sure most of you won't regret R2.

I was charged as well today... for $143 shipped I really can't complain. I know I'd be hard pressed to pay more due to a weak dollar or import fees, but at least for what he cost after the $20 off coupon I'm very happy based on the photos.

So is there anyone that's waiting on this to ship that also has the R2 & 3PO SSC premium format figures? Curious to see how R2 compares to that beauty. Was too rich for my tastes and they take up too much space (I have 5 of the SSC SW premium format statues, nice but 1/6 more managable). Plus I knew they'd eventually do the 1/6 so was an easy pass, although now it seems to sell for crazy$$
