A friend in FL picked up a Poe and unmasked Kylo for me. I'm still debating how much I really want to pay $30 for a tiny light saber.  :-\

I actually got now only three of the elite series figures for Christmas.  I got Finn (Jakku), Poe Dameron, and Rey (Jakku) with BB-8 and Rey had Luke's lightsaber.

I saw a pretty good amount of these at my local Disney store.  They look nice, but they really do feel a bit redundant when you're already invested in the Hasbro 6" Black Series line.  Granted, there are some things in this line that haven't been offered in the Black Series line.  But how long are we really going to need to wait for things like General Grievous or Kylo Ren without his helmet?

I wonder if they'll really just make more here.

Free shipping today only @ Disney Store online...finally caved and ordered Rey with lightsaber. Feel stupid buying her twice but I guess I can make my money back selling my original at some point down the line.

I wonder what other characters in the new Star Wars film here are to be made into die-cast figures.

Sounds like none.  I think Disney stated that they made all that they are going to make of these (for now anyway).

Maybe they'll make more later this year.

What's up with that price?  Weren't they like $200 at the D23 store?  Now suddenly it's "marked down" from $700 to $400?  Lame.

That's insane.  I might even consider it at $200 since you get two exclusive figs plus Fett.  I laughed out loud reading that there is a limit of 3 at the $410 price.   ;D  They are $500 or more on Ebay though, so I guess that's a deal.

The figures are good but I do really have trouble making sure that Rey stands.

Apparently it went on sale at midnight EST and sold out overnight, even with a 1 per customer limit.
