I'd be happy with that, so long as we got the main guys: SW Luke, SW Han, SW Leia, Ben, Vader, Stormtrooper, Fett, Chewie, R2, 3PO, and Yoda. Introductory versions of the characters. Anything else is gravy. My fear would be they release Bib Fortuna or Rancor Keeper before a Bespin Han or Jedi Luke, then declare the line a failure because people aren't picking up as many figures as they think they should be selling.

Don't worry. Unless Hasbro does something REAL stupid with distribution, you'll get a lengthy run simillar to DC Universe Classics
or the revived Marvel Legends.... which, I assume, is considered one of the best-selling lines of all-time.
I looked over the comments on the Rebelscum threads and feel that that bunch is indicative of the brewing major-mania
in anticipation for these figures. Many naysayers have an element of "on the fence" in their posts. And many others,
I believe, are just barking worse than their bite due to their love/hate relationship with Star Wars merch. Many will
change their tune once they actually can buy the stuff.
Me? I've been picky, humble, practical and realistic about my Star Wars figure collecting for many years now.
Guys like me have been waiting to "pull a trigger" for years with Star Wars figure collecting.
High-end 1/6 scale SW figures, retro-jumbo SW figures... etc etc I ALMOST pulled the trigger.
Now that this Black Series has arrived.... BOOM GOES THE BULLET!

I hear you. If Hot Toys had released that Bespin Luke as a single figure without all the other stuff (weather vane prop and so on) for $100-$125 cheaper, I would have been the first one to buy it. As it is, however, I didn't get one. I couldn't justify spending that much for what amounted to one figure I wanted and a bunch of other stuff I didn't. I probably should have, in retrospect, and just sold off the battle-damaged version.Comment

Boba Fett is rumored to be a SDCC exclusive.
Kind of a bummer to make such a popular character a limited convention exclusive.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment

If fett was an exclusive, it would probably be a paint app sort of thing. Esb vs Jedi or something like that. Gentle giant did the same thing with the 12" fett and his card back. Of course, the new gg one as a firing rocket as well.Boba Fett is rumored to be a SDCC exclusive.

It's a "Han In Carbonite" sort of thing
