Kind of a deep cut, but very cool. Han looks amazing.

I assume the Mynock and the breathing tubes are what is exclusive to this set?

This is probably why Hasbro didn’t show Han for the longest time.  They had this exclusive in the works. 

Pretty cool job.

Pretty cool.

How different is this Han from previously released Han 6" figures?

The Mynock and breathing mask is neat, but not sure I need to pay $35 for these if the figure is mostly identical.

If you skip upcoming basic release you're paying $15 for the Mynock and accessories

Dave, 6” Bespin Han has yet to be released (but will be in the near future).  So it’s new and whether you want the extras.

This, I like.  :)

I was hoping for a second there was some kind of environment piece included, but I guess not. Still pretty cool, def will buy.

Thanks guys.  Sign me up!

On a side note - I've never seen the term "exogorth" used before in place of "space slug".  Is that a recently coined name?

Looking at Wookieepedia (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Exogorth) it appears that this has only started to be used in the last couple of years.  I wonder why they bothered to make a change.

It's a very cool way to present Han Solo from TESB.  And the packaging seems similar to what Hasbro did with the Thrawn SDCC exclusive, with his office/gallery as the backdrop.

The exogorth term is new to me, too.  But it seems like LFL has been taking a bit of a deeper dive with these giant lifeforms that can exist in the vacuum of space:  the space slug in TESB was first, along with the Neebray's in CLONE WARS, the Purgill in REBELS, and most recently the summa-verminoth from SOLO.

Absolutely love it. Really hope I'm able to get one, as the SDCC exclusives are always a pain. I typically haven't worried too much since they have been re-releasing the figure itself later but being Han Solo - especially Bespin Han Solo, my favorite - I'd really like to get a hold of one of these.

This is really all about the packaging which, as Nick said, is gorgeous.

Video footage of me after opening the Hasbro PR box and finding this set inside:  (https://jedidefender.com/jsmentek/freakout.gif)

This thing is awesome.  Easily my favorite of the four exclusives they sent out.  Execution of the packaging, the mynock, everything.  So, so, so, so cool.  Hope everyone here who wants one is able to get one because you're not gonna wanna miss it!

This should be going live within the next hour or two.  I'm probably going to wear the paint off of my F5 key around that time....

This is all I want today. I will pick up that other monstrosity later when I have $110 to throw away.

Working from home, logged in to HTS, adult diapers ready to deploy...let's do this!  :D

No exclusive should be worth soiling yourself.

Well that was a PITA!  Just glad I was able to pick this and the Centerpiece set up.  Thankfully I had some help at SDCC that was able to hook me up with the TVC 3-pack.

OMG, what an utter nightmare! I started out on my laptop and by the end was desperately trying to get orders in via my phone and iPad too. Nothing wanted to work! I was either getting perpetually hung up on the shipping page, or it would advance to "Payment" but the page was blank so I couldn't select an option. I was just waiting on this thing to disappear from my cart...

I eventually got something through on my laptop, just got the confirmation email so cautiously hopeful.

More than enough anxiety for today!

Got the shipping notifications for both the Han Solo and Starkiller base sets.

This arrived today via FedEx and what a beauty this set turned out to be! The slide apart packaging is so cool. And I love all the accessories. Wish I had at least 2 more Mynocks, those things came out great. Five star rating on this one!  :)
