You mean the enormous weathervane that lights up and hangs from the ceiling or wall PLUS the fact that you are getting TWO figures isn't justification for spending $300?!
Ahem...
And $300 for TWO Hot Toys Luke Skywalkers and a weathervane. I think its more than worth it!
You seem to share similar problems as me. For me the figure is worth $300 but it's not worth me paying $300 for it if you know what I mean. The two figure point is not really a deal, if your not that fond of 1 then 2 won't make it any better. Kind of like eating 2 cheeseburgers when you could have a quarter pounder.
Simply being "Luke Skywalker" is not enough for me really and it doesn't have the presence of some of my other pieces when I look at it. I'll still give it a look in the shop though.
It's a really tough call but I decided quite quickly that this hobby is just too expensive for me to be buying everything in sight so I'm trying to keep my display in lower numbers and higher quality/presence and Luke just misses out.
Pretty much exactly the same. One kick ass figure per shelf which like you say means weather vein - out (confirmed too big), EX head - out, clean outfit - out.
What I can already see me doing is selling half the extra's, displaying the single figure then like you say Vader comes along and out goes my single Luke. If he's not a shoe in keeper now, he won't be a keeper down the line.
I totally get why people love him though. I just see the cheap looking body joints, thin material and "decent" sculpt and think he's just not going to wow me like some of the others. There are other SW's characters I think would be a grail piece for me, I just have to wait
