Me too. Got a June 30th notice. Still blame you for my purchase as I had forgotten all about PC and was set on just waiting for Jedi Luke.
With SW and Marvel Hot Toys' two biggest properties Disney could probably pretty easily cut SSC out and handle distribution themselves.

Can't do Pop...
As much as I love this figure, my plan was to spend the $200+ worth of Reward Points I have on this to bring the cost down to just under $100 shipped... but I just can't bring myself to spend $300 for this.
Not with the very good chance of reissue from Sideshow... AND a Hot Toys version within the next year.
Sideshow pays licensing fees for SW/Disney/Marvel products and they already distribute SW/Marvel/Disney products from other companies. What would be Disney's angle for cutting steady profits and taking on a new expense?
I had the same idea as Wor,-Gar.....planned on using rewards points to bring the price down. I just wanted to see some in-hand shots of the production figure first...by tbe time they hit and I was impressed enough to go for it...bam! It was gone.
I'm still hoping for another run......
Just curious, but when you say you think that a Hot Toys version is likely to come within the next year, why do you think that? Even though Hot Toys has released characters that Sideshow has already made, isn't it usually about 5 years later and/or a different version of the character?
The Darth Vaders from those two companies were different versions of the character, as was Boba Fett. The Sideshow Snowtrooper was back in 2012, and the Hot Toys version is from 2017. The Han Solo figures have been different versions, etc.
Just curious if you legitimately think that we'll get a Hot Toys snowspeeder pilot Luke within the next year (even if it's just a preorder). No offense meant in any way, FYI.
But the thing u also have to remember is that Hot Toys didn't even have the license 5 years ago. They announced it what, 3 years ago if that and first figures were a bit after that. Bespin luke was a one of and not part of the official line. Hot toys has been moving pretty fast and furious with the line There is no telling what or when they will announce a figure and they want to produce what sells and if they even glance at this thread they know this by Hot toys will sell ...
