I think this is a cool offering. But I'm not going to pre-order it. I bought into GameStop's PowerUp Rewards program - it pays for itself over the course of the year, and you get a $5 coupon every month. But every time there's a preorder I cannot use my monthly $5 reward because it cannot be applied to preorders. So I'm going to roll the dice and try to find this in a store or do an in-store preorder. And then there's the shipping costs, which are not great.
I've been able to find most, if not all, of the recent Gaming Greats Black Series figures in stores. In the past few weeks I've seen the Imperial Jumptrooper, Zaalbar, the Flametrooper and plenty of others in stores.
