I just got an email with this and was annoyed with HT releasing a DX so long after the PO's for the regular Jedi Luke..... Then I realized it is a SS figure!?? I'm confused... And it goes to show SS has been way over charging!! How is this $235 & free S&H when Maul that came with **** was $250??
That is crazy! Sideshow has some serious brass to think they're going to compete directly with HT! Although I will give them credit for including the Endor gear, which HT really should have done.
I did a double take when I saw this but it actually looks pretty good, all three looks for Luke included in one figure, many different hand sculpts (better than Hot Toys) a good price and the head sculpt looks ok as well... what's the catch

It's pretty good value though. I'm starting to be tempted to get both this and the HT one. Use the headsculpt from this with either the Cloak, or the Endor gear (to camouflage the lesser sculpt), and use the HT for the Vader fight scene look (with the light up saber).
A shot fired across the bow! Sideshow directly competing against Hot Toys! Maybe Hot Toys will throw in the speeder helmet and poncho on their ROTJ Luke now.
I'm so confused... decent value as you get the Poncho and helmet as well. But when you consider the extras that come with the HT and light up saber it still seems like a better price. Not to mention I mostly know with HT the final figure will be up to my expectations; with Sideshow it could be anywhere from a home-run to a total disaster.
Guess Sideshow decided it no longer wants to play nice with HT
