That's all EU retcon. Lucas *did* intend for them to beat the Empire with low tech, but they were meant to be cute and sell toys.

I know I know But still I like the idea of them being brutal warriors.

Will the YTer’s mention this is coming soon now that Pop Colectibles made a post about it earlier

I’m pretty damn sure the celebration the Ewoks were throwing at the end of ROTJ had some bbq stormtroopers cookin…question is, did Luke and the gang partake in that meal

In nearly 40 years, that thought never crossed my mind. Thanks…..so much

Well if 3PO said they “are now part of the tribe” I’m almost certain they’d have to partake in the “feast”. Shudder.

Well Han Solo was an illegal drug trafficker and murderer, Luke & Leia had by this time committed incest and they were all of them terrorists complicit in the deaths of several hundred thousand to several million (depending on your sources) including plenty of non-combatants given the size of the government installations they had destroyed -- so what's a little cannibalism one way or the other at that point?

Add attempted patricide with parental assault & mutilation to Luke's rap sheet plus his casual racism towards the Tuskens.

What the hell kind of story *was* this?!

*EDIT: ...and don't forget manipulating primitive sentients into joining their terrorist crusade at the cost of their safety and lives ... *and* they were all droid slavers. Those machines had developed sentience and were still treated as property.

Delayed until June-Aug. Just got the email.

These delays are why I'm refusing to make any further PO's. No more until Hot Toys catches up on the backlog.

I don’t think they ever will. 2 year wait for a figure seems to be the new norm.

I got hit with three delays today... This, Darth Maul and Anakin and his STAP...

Still haven't pre-ordered this one. No rush to do so. I'll wait until some additional RPs slide into the account and then maybe...

Do you think the delay maybe because they’re replacing the head sculpt with the improved ( Bespin ) version? If so, I’m happy to wait a little longer.

I wouldn’t call that improved, but still, probably not.

Then I'll never PO again. 2 year waits and long delays just isn't acceptable. They're putting out more and more PO's when they can't handle what they've already got to do.

Preordering is definitely a thing of the past with HT. Not just because of the delays, but they overproduce everything like crazy. Better off waiting it out and saving on them.

Not to mention you’ll see a greater chance of discounted product like free shipping or 5% off. Also possibility of Seconds too. Only PO LE items.

This summer.

Yup, this fig was the last paid-in-full PO I will do. These timelines have blown out too far to take that risk. For the Biker + speeder bike I just did a down payment.

Don't forget they are also sprinkling reissues in there too.

Jumping in with a little frustration myself, but if these are "releasing this summer" then as someone who orders from US vendors I'll get these in December... Or later
