Question Will we ever see the Attakus Probe Droid???

I'm curious what you guys think, and be honest. Do you think we will EVER see the Attakus Probe Droid????

I'm starting to have serious doubts myself and have more or less written the piece off along with the possibility of any new SW statues for that matter.

Yeah, it seems like Attakus has given up the SW gig. Too bad.

I would have thought that the Probe Droid was already approved by Lucas so there should not be a license issue only a product quality issue with this item.

But I am not very optimistic that Attakus will continue the SW line for several reasons which we have all discussed before:
1. No new product announcement for almost two years
2. Attakus missed the SW 30th Anniversary period by not following through on the three MIB contest statues Fett, Cody and Scout Trooper
3. 1,700 pieces for each new statue rarely sells out
4. $350-$400 average price does not hold value after a statue is released .... typically slips to less than $250

It is a shame. I love Attakus and the probe droid was going to be one of the centre pieces of my collection.

Maybe Sideshow will take on the challenge of producing this awesome statue.

I think they have a lot of problem on the probe droid,I can imagine that ho heavy of the probe droid will be,As we see it in picture, this Heavy Statue which is "supported " by three metal legs.I think its not easy to keep it in balance.Anyway,I wish Attakus can solve that Problem as soon as possible!Attakus is a Very Good Company,They are produced many Amazing Star wars statues.I'm still very glad to have many of their statues.Anyway,Be patient,Friends!

Patience shmatience. I gave up long ago. Now, if it comes out, I'll be pleasantly surprised. I'd love to see this piece actually be released.
