Sounds like both figures will be offered later on, with the Fett coming right around the corner.  Honestly, for a significant reduction in price and a thousand times less stress, I am at peace with just being patient.

This is the approach I'm trying to take.  I know Fett is coming in a few months and I just can't get that excited about the Han in carbonite.  Of course, I'm primarily a loose collector these days, so the packaging doesn't concern me much.

Though I certainly have to agree with others that making it difficult to get the very first figure released in a new line is an odd way to get collectors excited about collecting it.

Anaheim is sure a hell of a lot closer than Orlando for this western Canuck.  My daughters will be 8 and almost 14 then, I wonder if the older one will still think it's cool to hang out with her dad around a bunch of Star Wars geeks.   

Removable blaster included. 

YakFace has a nice look at the loose figures for this wave, I think Mara Jade will be my fave.

I had preordered at the $99 price because this is one of the definitive ships left for my collection.  But seeing it at $69 makes me MUCH happier -- I simply made a new order and cancelled the old one. 

Gentle Giant is taking their 12" versions of the Kenner figures to a whole new level and have shown a life sized Stormtrooper at SDCC!  It will be made of fibreglass and rumour has it the price tag is a whopping $1500-$2500. 

Apparently, Vader is also in the works, including his vinyl cape and telescoping saber. 

OK, so the price is nuts, but I'd love to get my hands on the Vader...

And, as usual, all my Eastern Conference friends are safe... unless we happen to meet up in the Cup finals next year.  #gowild 

Hmmm... Bruins vs Wild in 2014?
