Looks really good. I am all about the Hot Toys figures though.

Exactly...what the heck is up with that price?  I had to make sure there was an X-wing ladder included.  I have almost every SS 12" figure, but after the summer they released three clone repaints all at once, I quit buying prequel figures.  I think I will have to pass on this one at this price.  It has just gotten out of control.

Sideshow's 12" figure pricing has gone up exponentially.  I remember when they first introduced the line.  You could get figures for somewhere in the neighborhood of $45.  But now this Luke is $240?!!?  I got priced out of the market a while ago.

I hate to pile on but yeah, that price for Luke put him out of reach to me.  I was actually aiming to pick him up maybe, but that's really absurd.  1/6 is just too much at this point.  The weird thing is it doesn't seem to be for everything, but licensed stuff's definitely skyrocketing.  I can't believe Luke's more than a Stormtrooper though.  Is the suit that complex?

There does seem to be a lot of little pieces on the flight suit, but to put this in perspective, the Yoda Hut was $275.  That included a ton of little accessories and has lights.  I just don't see how this figure is worth $35 less than that.

The Sideshow Deluxe Vader was $249.99, and that was a huge figure with a ton of accessories and electronics to boot. The price for Luke is re-goddamn-diculous.

That price is crazy. Especially for a barebones release.
