Oh we know... But it's just not Hot Toys? What of you sold that one and got this one????
It's not die cast though.
My priorities must have really changed because I really don't have one bit of impulse for this particular piece. Right now, I want to get as much representation of my favorite Star Wars characters and moments before June. Like I thought having Padme, Luke and Leia's mom, would be an excellent choice with that AotC piece. But once again, half the price of an HT was not acceptable to me.
Lately my my collecting impulses have been satisfied by $2.99 packs of Star Wars Destiny. The new collectible card and dice game. Wife and I have been playing it almost nightly and having a blast. We also preordered the Switch as one last gaming hurrah before the little one arrives so I've been paying that off weekly.
Hot Toys R2 is a nice piece, it will make people happy for sure. But for this dad in training, is it really worth the time and money to either try and replace the one I have or just have another one? I don't think so.
