Guess who is going to be the proud owner of one of these bad boys?

Han Solo

That's actually a good looking figurine

<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: You aren’t one of us.
<span class=“Bold”>Go-Mer-Tonic: I can’t say I find that very disappointing.</span></span>

Normal version or exclusive?

They may be sold out on Sideshow's site but once they ship, you will be able to find it on ebay for under $200. Trust me.

Normal, I didn't like the Exclusive version anyway.

I picked it up much below retail, I think I paid 220 shipped. Which isn't that bad at all in my opinion, since shipping such a large heavy piece would cost 25-35 bucks.

BTW, do you know when they are going to start shipping?

I'm definitely picking up the Luke next, since Fireside collectibles is offering free shipping(I'm essentially getting it for 160, I suppose).

Maybe I can get someone to get it for me for Christmas.

I picked up Luke for $130 shipped on an ebay auction. $160 is still a great price.

Han is shipping in late November. I have Vader and Kenobi on order as well.

All are great IMO. Here are more of their 1/4 pieces I have in my collection:

Nice display, I've been thinking of doing something like that for a while. I've always liked the sparse museum look, I don't understand why some collectors like to just pile everything on top of another(even when they do have space to spare). Got any other pics?

I'm been thinking about waiting to see my Han Solo Premium Format Figure for myself in person before I place an order for another one, I figure the price of the Luke will only go down after time.

Besides, right now I'm on a Kotobukiya kick, I find that they are easier on the wallet than the Mini-busts if you know where to look.

Yeah, I prefer the Kotos over the GG busts for sure. Most GG pieces just look "cheap" to me.

You will love the Sideshow Han. It's going to be huge! Vader will be very impressive.

You should pick up Luke now. The flood of them is on ebay and dealers are trying to get rid of their extra stock. It is easily worth the $250 retail price and you can find it for $150 or so shipped now. Go for it!

I cannot stand it when people have nice collections but they are just placed right by each other, giving it a "junky" feel.
