It never went up at Sideshow, and I heard Kit took it down.

Really??!
They still have him as a big display in the convention
Really??!
what convention?
AGHK, the one that is going on right now/today
Don't know, I haven't seen it on display. But pulling it affects the US only, so China can still sell it. There's a lawsuit going on with Lucasfilm over "the backpack".
You can still RSVP it at SS but that doesn't mean much.
Nope...
If that's the case, i don't see why Kit took it down
I don't know why either. But its gone, I just checked (logged in yes). Maybe he sold thru his allotment.

This needs to be $500+ to scare people off.
$500+ is just the staring point. Nothing scares off Anakin fans (if the acting didn't do that already).

Won't scare me off. I'm prepared for $550.
I see many people paying $650 to get Hot Toys first ever haired figure of Anakin.
Real fans will pay $750+

I'm not getting this but it's great they're set on upping their game. The face sculpt really is fantastic, I'm leaving the paintjob in the promo photos left to be judged from in hand looks since the image editing is strong with this company. At $500 and up I'll get a good belly laugh outta this release just like I got from Weta workshops latest $700 1:6 statues. I also (mainly) collect nihonto (antique Japanese swords) and now you have mass produced (yes 3000 is not very limited) figures commanding prices close to some 150+ year old well preserved hand crafted unique metalwork pieces of sword furniture. Imagine sculpting by hand, no digital tools, on the level and scale the Hot toys/Inart artisans do, but in metal.
These figures are well made but even with a chunky budget for useless stuff the prices are now approaching comedy club level. Moaning started years ago at $200+, but now at $5-700 and getting almost the same, I have decided that a (much) better sculpt and paintjob with just minor uplifts in materials used is far far from worth it. Best of luck to the F5 spammers, and hope they got measures up against scalping, 1 per customer should be a nobrainer.

I’ve got my limit. And it’s above $700 but I really hope I don’t get there!

I'm looking forward to photo and video comparisons with the original release.
Not me , If its around $450 maybe? Otherwise will put the money towards the DS Trooper and Sandie and Dewvback along with some more Indy custom gear.
