It's also at Dorkside, if you have a referral link.

Preordered.  Thanks, Jeff.

Hopefully this preorder doesn't get cancelled like the ever-elusive-exclusive Jabba's Palace.  >:(

Pre-ordered mine as well. It's a good time to be a SW collector.

For convenience maybe, but this is a new face on a figure we've already bought, we just had a movie launch with half a dozen 3.75" figures, and there are rumors that they're going to let that scale die next year.  So...

Thankfully that rumor was quashed at the Hasbro Q&A at NYCC over the weekend.

The 3.75 dying rumor? I didn't get a chance to see the panel. What did they say?

I love how the person asking the questions calls out the fan alarmist site spreading said rumor.

Yup, and Hasbro rep's subsequent eyeroll tells you everything you need to know.

Straight from the horse's mouth... that's good.  I'll stop worrying about it then, although I still hope that they increase the number of characters being made.
