Looks like this is going to be tough to find or very expensive.

With only about 75-100 of these a day at SDCC, things should be "interesting". I'm predicting an insta-sellout each morning.

Yeah, I am still beating myself up about not following up on preorder information right away.

You can still find one for about $150 on ebay. That's only about $50 more than what he cost directly... might not be a bad idea to get him now.

I'm going to wait until after SDCC. They may have a few left over, or some that didn't have their pre-order payment go through. Since I don't have any of the other pieces it's not so big a deal for me, but for the ones collecting this line it's quite the letdown. What kind of ES have the other pieces had? They've all been SDCC exclusives, no?

That could work... you never know. The other McQuarries had much larger edition sizes..

Boba Fett - 2800
Darth Vader - 2500
C3PO - 1008
Stormtrooper - 1800
Snowtrooper - 1800

Seriously? That's a huge difference in ES, it just doesn't make sense they'd go that low on Luke.

Yeah, that is some serious BS on Gentle Giant's part. There are going to be some huge discrepancies for people collecting this line. Me being one of them.

Those are huuuge differences!! They should have at least done 1,000 on this one, it's Luke fer crying out loud! Wow, way to screw the fans that have been loyal to this line. Even Porkins got a bigger ES, who'd thought that!
