I thought the secret base video was the clue that said it would be in December also... They even had the box on display

I'm thinking the Tauntaun will be delayed as well...
I put mine on flex to delay it once Han and Luke got delayed. At least that bought me time to put coupons on those figures.

...and I thought the smell of Thanksgiving at Han Solo's house smelled bad on the outside....^^^
Can't use a coupon on waitlisted items. I think Sideshow is waitlisting items earlier for that reason.
You already have the exclusive on PO? I'm in the same boat. Have the exclusive R2 on PO but without a coupon and could only cancel and get the regular version. Think I'll just keep the exclusive at full price. Han Hoth still has the exclusive available, but exclusive Hoth Luke is waitlisted too.

Yep, looks like Santa won't be bringing me anything cool this year.
Guess that's why I am not upset, I already have that one.I can't say I've cared that much about a figure release date change. This one, however...
CHRISTMAS WISHES DASHED
I think the angle of the lighting in that video is really hiding all the detail and weathering for many of you. The R2 on the left is basically backlit and you'll never see details in something that's backlit.
Sucks about the delay though. Oh well.

I'm not that worried about the R2, I think it will be a great piece.
Just hope it's seamless but I don't see why not; no visible seams on the probe droid.

There's nothing wrong with the lighting in the video, the compartments are definitely (unequivocally) not painted like they are in the proto photos. The blue flaps are also very clearly not painted blue on the inside.
I'm talking about the overall paint job, not just the inside of the compartments.
But yes, the lighting is still dulling some details.

That's what i thought. I used last month coupon on Ex Han but i believe i won't be able to use any other on my current ex PO (R2, Hoth Luke, Jango, Scout). I also suspect Sideshow is intentionally waitlisting items early to avoid cancel/reorder moves as recent releases have been successively waitlisted, sold out and in stock again. Wll keep at least R2's and Hoth Luke's PO at full price but may end up cancelling Jango if ex HS hasn't improved on production when revealed.

True.
Sorry, I thought you were following up to someone else who had said they believed the inside of the panels at Secret Base were the same as the proto/press images at Sideshow and it was the lighting making them look different.
