Sometimes it's whoevery ou talk to... one guy won't say, one will... never know who is who in that scenario. I always found Darryl seemed to spill the beans a lot, haha.

I see your Hasbro pessimism is still firing on all cyliders, DP. :P

Would you expect anything less? ;D
In all seriousness, though, the last 2 years have, at least when it comes to Hasbro's action figure line, not been very fun at all for me. I just don't have the time or energy for the hunt anymore, and with prices going nowhere but up and space at a minimum, I think I've reached my relative end. I'll probably still pick up some of the 3.75" Black Series if I can find them, but my days of morning toy runs are over.
It's probably not the best basis for this, but when I think of the future of the 6" line, I can't help but look at Hasbro's distribution of Marvel Legends as an example. To this day, I have only seen about 1/3 of the figures Hasbro has done in that line (which, granted, may be partially due to me not showing up at 8 AM at Target). Given how horrible it has been to find a SW figure past the TPM wave this past 14 months, I don't see a 6" collector line is going to get better market penetration.
Anyway, that's neither here nor there and I'm sorry for derailing the thread, but I've just been frustrated with everything Hasbro's done lately and it has felt more like a chore for me to collect. I'm not having fun, so it follows that I should just stop putting myself through the irritation, especially when, in the end scheme of things, they are just toys.

might be better and cheaper to order them online

This could be a really cool exclusive, and you know it is going to sell like crazy. I mean, we know that they aren't going to leave Fett out of the regular retail lineup, but I hope I don't miss out on a Han in Carbonite (especially that it is hinted to have lights maybe?). It is disappointing because it will likely be nearly impossible to get a hold of, especially if you can't attend SDCC, but I bet they could make this a heck of a nice looking display too.
Diddly:
Am I the only one thinking they'll do pretty high numbers (like former exclusives) of production for this one? I can understand the Death Star and Carbonite packaging sets having low production runs, but this is something lots of people are going to want. Yes, Fett will hit retail, but the Carbonite block won't (as far as we know). But still.
