If these were $40 a piece at my LCS then I'd own the whole series. True story.

For sure, and that's what I mean... They would sell like mad at that price point... 39.99 each?? I'd have them all.

Are these things in a resealable clamshell or are they edge/heat sealed like the later Hasbro VOTC figure cases?
My snaggs just shipped... I saw a few of these figs in a comic shop, but none of the ones I'd consider buying, so it will be cool to have this in-hand.

Same here; $40 sounds very reasonable to me. $80 is kinda outrageous..

It is. I'm sure GG probably did their market research when determining the price, and I suppose it's possible that they simply can't make them at a lower price point. I don't know. But I agree that they would sell a lot more of them at a lower price. Maybe it's a situation where they would rather make $40 per figure sold (to make up a number out of thin air) rather than sell several times as many figures but only make $10 on each.

Yeah, I paid $80 because Blue Snaggs is sort of special but mostly because a custom 12" Blue Snaggs would have cost me more in materials and time, but there's no way I'd pay more than $40-50 for the main line of these. Their simplistic level of detail just doesn't blow up to a 12" product that feels worth that $70 GG regular pricepoint.
Agreed though - if these were a $30-40 Hasbro product (which I could almost have seen Hasbro doing a few years back) I would have bought most of these.
Depending on my reaction to Blue Snaggs in hand, I'll decide whether I'll get a few more of these or if this will be a one-off purchase.
The SW card of Boba is one I will get when it comes out though.

So does this mean this is going to see release somehow? I just got in the blue Snags (my first of this line) and I'm hooked for at least the Cantina aliens.
Edit: Ah, I see GG will be making it available directly later this year upon further research.
I wish Sideshow would do some large backdrops for 1:6 figures....

Yes, GG already said the Cantina backdrop will be released later this year or next year.

I just got Blue Snags, pretty cool figure. He wandered into my Sideshow display...
He is the only one I plan on getting. He is pretty iconic. Although I never had this one as a kid, seeing him really brings back memories of childhood playing with my Star Wars toys.

Yeah. *^%$% exclusive, right?
I'm not sure if that has been confirmed or not. Regardless, it'll be mine! Right next to my CV Fett!
