Isnt the 3p0/jawa maquette simply awesome?
I really wasnt sure on it when I saw the initial pics but after getting it i'm glad I did.
The problem with America is stupidity I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself

I canceled my order for Luke. I just was not crazy about it. Here's hoping for a Jedi version down the line.

Got my Luke yesterday and I like it a lot more than I thought I would...all 5 of them are amazing pieces and I'm very glad to have them in my collection.  Can't wait to see Han and Chewie (and hopefully an Obi-Wan!)

The black and white Stormie may be even weaker than the regular ;)

Just received the Padme promo maquette.  To me, this is the holy grail of Star Wars collectibles and it took me forever to obtain it at a 'reasonable' price.  I am excited because this means I'm one step closer to the complete promo collection.  I only require Yoda (almost forgot about him) and Asajj now.  Drop me a PM if any of you have one or the other that you're looking to unload to a weary but thankful collector.

So... I am new to collecting anything other than the Hasbro 3.75" line.

I've been enjoying these animated OT maquettes.  So far I have all through Luke Pilot.

Now I see that the Yoda and R2 is an exclusive to the cons, and will only be an edition size of 2500.  Have to say, this pretty much completely kills the enthusiasm I had for this line.  I had hoped they wouldn't be pulling this exclusive crap with this line.

I don't understand why they think it's a good idea to make pieces that many people will not be able to obtain (without paying large amounts of moeny to third parties).  The only possible benefit I can see is if it makes the line appear "hotter" and that attracts people?  As I said, I have the exact opposite reaction.  Just makes me know that I will never have the whole collection so what's the point of buying any of the weaker statues?

Am I strange?  Does it not have this effect on other people?  Or do people just have enough money that they will buy it on eBay?

Any guesses as to what one of these will be worth on eBay?  I don't think I will be at any of the cons...

I really just wish they would make merchandise to sell it to fans, rather than pandering to people looking for an investment, or buying things just because they are rare and not eveyone can have it.  :(

Can someone explain this to me?

I'm thinking of cancelling the Stortrooper and only ordering the ones that jump out at me as very cool in the future.  Screw Gentle Giant.

I believe Han and Chewbacca were shown at Toy Fair (no pics allowed though)

As far as Yoda/R2 I'd guess around $100 on eBay and I really don't get why they do these popular exclusives either.  I'd be more mad at the Clone Commander Mini Busts than the Yoda/R2 maquette

Still not sold on the Stormie, I'll probably bite just for the sake of completeness

Holy hell!  :o

Classic Animation Boba Fett Maquette a Celebration Exclusive

Quote
This StarWarsShop Celebration convention exclusive, which will have an edition size of just 1,000, sports Fett's color scheme as he appeared in the Droids animated series from the '80s (actually, the colors were modeled after Kenner's action figure cardback artwork -- see pic). This convention-exclusive is a great way to celebrate Fett's legacy to both the Star Wars films and to the animated series they inspired.

StarWarsShop plans to offer approximately 700 of the 1,000 edition size at Star Wars Celebration IV in the US. While Gentle Giant will not be exhibiting, the the remaining quantity will be offered up at Star Wars Celebration Europe. Details on that distribution will be announced as Cel-Europe draws closer.
