Not yet.  I had placed my orders on Amazon.  I got the price adjustment on R2, but no change on Leia yet.

Nice! Hopefully Amazon reduces Leia, too. I was planning on picking up a few to replace older versions in dioramas.

She looks fantastic and I'm really excited for this one. It looks to be by far the best likeness of Carrie Fischer in this scale, on par with the Bespin Lando in terms of accuracy. The swappable hoods are a really nice touch. I'm mixed on the soft-goods vs plastic robe. Plastic looks better overall but I normally prefer soft goods for pose-ability. If this is a softer plastic, like the Imperial officer tunic piece, it might be ok here. If not and Amazon drops it to $9.97 I may just add a few more and add soft goods to one or two.

My gut tells me you will see a soft goods version of this sculpt sometime in the future, like in a box set or something.  Just feels clearly designed for a double-dip like that (or maybe my double-dip radar is just over active these days ).

I can totally see the potential for a double dip on Leia!  Offering a second version with softgoods seems inevitable.  As for the presentation?  Something like this came to mind:
