I was so lucky getting this bust for £42 only a few weeks ago (I'm in the UK). I'd read all of the stories about the members in the US already having trouble being able to get one because it was sold out, and had seen them going for £70+ on eBay but a couple of UK retailers still had them as 'coming soon' on their sites so I thought "why not" and put a couple of orders in thinking that if they came off then great and if not then no great loss. Well lo and behold, one of them came through.

Yeah, these where almost non existent for the first 4 or 5 months of release then they started to appear abit more frequent.

I ended up paying £75 for one and have only added 2 busts to my collection this year with this and the Tie-fighter pilot but they are 2 of the best for a long time.

I know every one is raving about the great paint job, and I agree it is great! But, call me picky, has any one noticed the mistake made by many people when creating the AT AT driver?

More small details, specially at airpipe, needs to be black/red. Small color details, but overall it's a awesome bust.

Hey there Mystery,
Your right, but also, AT AT driver armor isn't white it's grey! check these pics of an original screen used helmet on starwarshelmet.com. Only found out when researching for a full size helmet build im doing. For some reason they look white under the lights when filming.

That is what i meant with color details, the ligh grey though wasn't clearly visible due to high light.
BTW just got mine in.
