I think it may be partly due to collectors feeling that the Stormtrooper is over priced for what you are getting with the piece. Personally, I can't get excited about this line and I like McQuarrie's art. I can't quite put my finger on why.

Having owned two of the Mythos I will say they were absolute masterpieces. I think they could have been THE premier Star Wars line to collect if only they had continued :/

I love McQuarries stuff but the details on the armor is soft, and the price is high >< Especially Fett. I love fett, but the detail is incredibly lacking for me ><

Price and scale are what's keeping me from ordering these. If they were in the $450 range and a PF, I would have bought these. I think they are cool for what they are, just not the scale I mainly collect.

Funny that Disney only wants "canon" items to be made but technically the McQarrie designs aren't canon. A lot of them went on to look very similar to what appears on screen but still, doesn't make sense.

The preview is up, I have to say, this looks really nice and has a decent EX item in the change of head which is a slightly more familiar Fett helmet. The base adds a splash of colour also which works well imo. Really do like this and the Storm Trooper.

Can't wait to see some of the Force awakens stuff now... A Kylo Ren PF is already burning a hole in my wallet just thinking about it!

These look great together! Thanks for posting Python. I wasn't stoked about the base elements before, but seeing them together I think they work. This is going to be a nice set!
