Mine should be here by tomorrow night. Tracking info indicates it cleared processing this morning but apparently missed the truck.

I'm probably going to be tied up by work so I'm unlikely to even get to opening the package until Wednesday night.

While the thought crossed my mind, I thought it prudent to display a modicum of maturity until such time as I can drool like a geeked out fanboy at leisure, without fear of further financial repercussions.

The price of the droid was quite extravagant enough.

Looks like a Droid of some kind



Got to leave for work now. It's killing me not to assemble it but I don't want to rush it an break something!

Damn, thanks for posting! Looking forward to pics once it's assembled!

Incidentally, I was wondering how they were going to pack the Probe Droid to prevent breakage during transit. This looks to be a good solution.

Awesome. Might need to get this. There's no "Exclusive" version right?

got my review up , dont laugh its my first

Thanks for sharing! Constructive criticism; A little hard to make out the details on the droid and the sound was pretty soft, but a nice first review none-the-less. And you beat everyone else, so that counts for a lot too.

Looks awesome, appears to be bigger than i was thinking. Light and sound features push it to the next bar.
I'll bet it's as fragile as grevious though.

Thanks for the review. I just can't afford it right now but i might hunt this probe on the long run.

Nice review. Audio could be a little louder. But nice nonetheless. Once assembled, is it possible to remove the limbs without fear of breaking something?

Thanks

That's one big box. Being on the other side of the world, I have to wait another day or two to receive mine. Nice. Very nice.

Welcome to the forum.. good review, but as some others have pointed out, you might want to boost the volume control on the microphone just a tad (if there is tone control, moving the treble up and the bass down a little, would also be good).

The droid looks bigger than I was expecting.. I had been in two minds as to whether I really needed this figure in my collection.. not any more!.. very much looking forward to getting mine now.

Thanks for the review, iamgroot! This is one of my most anticipated pieces, so really appreciate you posting it day one! Man, have to say the Probe Droid looks great. Love the sound and the light having two colours is a nice surprise. Can't wait for my local distributor to ship this out. Figure it'll be at the end of the month.

NOTE TO SELF: *I WILL NOT BUY THIS*

Guys, if anything happens over the next few weeks/months, please send me a link back to this post.

I've cut back on my spending the past year or so, and I have to say I haven't passed on anything that I felt bummed to be passing on.

Except this.

I hope my enthusiasm for it dulls over time... or that they're still available when the money tree comes back in season.
