Is it me, or is it unusual that this set has already gone up on HTS (at least as coming soon?)

I was thinking the same thing. I know it would be against type, but wouldn't it be wonderful if Hasbro allowed folks to just pre-order one or two and NOT have to score one on the after market?

They'd certainly make more money that way... although it defeats the Exclusive label.

It will probably be available post SDCC for about 10 seconds before they sell out.

It would save me from having to camp out preview night so I can get a ticket to stand in line the next day. It's crazy.

Got this set from Hasbro today - Aphra is great and all, but for me the star of this set is the BT-1 droid.  I love the crazy guns sticking out of his head - well executed.  Love that he's got the wires on his feet too (miss those on the Disney BAD sculpt).  I'll try to get some loose pictures up sometime this weekend...

So this is supposed to be available today but is currently listed as out of stock.  Does anyone know if it already came and went before I could get to work or if it hasn't happened yet?

I've been refreshing the HTS Exclusives page pretty frequently throughout the morning.  It doesn't appear that they've been in stock yet.

Confirmed.  I have been checking in every 5 minutes or so, doesn't look to have been available yet...

I just looked again and now it's listed as in-stock, but no option to buy it.  It either went quick, or it seems that it should be there soon.

It's live... trying to check out now but the site is chugging.

And it only took a little over 20 minutes, but my order's in.

The site was sluggish at best.  And at some points I saw the exclusives listed as IN STOCK, but there was no "Add To Cart" button on the product pages.
