This will no doubt be the set that is the toughest to get. Seems everyone is gunning for it.

I browsed some of the early listings on eBay last night, and yeah...this is going to be a rough one.

I got this in the mail today, barely 24 hours after ordering. Can't beat that!

As I suspected, this thing is awesome. It looks even better in person. The level of detail on the accessories is impressive. Just makes a really nice backdrop for a display shelf too.

I can't see any subtle differences offhand between this Thrawn and the regular release, but I'm not the best at discerning that stuff anyway.

So happy to own this, maybe my favorite thing in the line so far!

This was one of the exclusives that I really wanted to get.  And I'm glad that I scored this one.  I was very pleasantly surprised by just how fast HTS fulfilled my order.  I placed it at 10:05 Friday morning, and it was on my doorstep by 1 PM on Saturday.  Now that's service!  And I'm also very happy that in both of the boxes I received (I ordered the exclusive Thrawn and Landspeeder) there was a HTS coupon.

I am wondering a little bit about how tall the packaging is, and whether or not it's going to fit on my 6" figure shelf.  But the accessories are just awesome, and I really want to display this the way it was designed to be shown.

Now I'm getting worried.  You guys got yours delivered in one day, and mine hasn't even shipped yet.   I'm gonna have to call HTS tomorrow.   :'(

If you got a confirmation email you're probably fine.  The fulfillment center mine shipped from is in Pennsylvania, and getting from that facility to where I am in NJ is pretty fast.  That's probably why I got mine so fast.

Weird. 

Just got off the phone with HTS.com and they were "holding my order due to the high dollar value" ($317 for two Landspeeders and Thrawns).  They didn't send an e-mail or try and reach out to me, so I'm not sure how long they were planning on holding my order.

After verifying my info they promised they would ship it tomorrow.

I guess I've never ordered this much from HTS.com at one time before, but I'm sure I've broken $200 before without a problem.

That's bizarre. Hopefully it works out for you with no more hitches.

That's an odd policy.  You'd think they would move faster with more expensive orders to make sure they don't lose them.  It does make you wonder how it would have unfolded if you hadn't called.  Glad to hear its still going through!
