Hooded Luke, Hoth Leia, and Garindan (Back of Max Rebo box)
Anyone have any idea when these will drop? I have had the Luke and Leia preordered from GS for over 3 months. No idea if the Garindan will be a store exclusive somewhere but really just wondering when these will arrive in stores. Anyone have any insight?

Re: Hooded Luke, Hoth Leia, and Garindan (Back of Max Rebo box)
Just read in the Powered by Funko forum that Gamestop pulled the pre-orders for Hoth Leia? Is that true? I have already paid for it in full with no notification that it was cancelled. Looks like I may be stopping in at my GS in the next day or so.

Re: Hooded Luke, Hoth Leia, and Garindan (Back of Max Rebo box)
I need these last week. I've always wanted a figure of Garindan. So little screen time but such a unique look. I still haven't even gotten my Max Rebo in the mail.

Re: Hooded Luke, Hoth Leia, and Garindan (Back of Max Rebo box)
Hoth Leia looks so sweet! Honestly, my favorite choice for cosplay if I ever had the energy to do it! 
And hooded!Luke is long past due. But I'm a Luke girl, so there can never be enough variants of him for me.

Re: Hooded Luke, Hoth Leia, and Garindan (Back of Max Rebo box)
I just redid my living room Star Wars shelf and half of it is Hoth themed in anticipation of the soon to arrive SB box, but I would LOVE to get my hands on a Hoth Leia to add to the display. I really hope she doesn't end up being a hard to get exclusive...

I'm calling this as well. *fingers crossed* They never seem to put the character on the box (Dagobah Luke) IN the actual box.
Looking forward to all 3. Luke for my Jabba's Palace set, Leia for my soon to be Hoth set and the Garindan just because he's freaking cool!

Re: Hooded Luke, Hoth Leia, and Garindan (Back of Max Rebo box)
I hope Hoth Leia comes out soon - I have been wanting that one forever. Now I'll just need an Endor Leia (speeder bike and Ewok village) and celebration Leia. Oh and I guess a cloud City Leia as well to be complete. Are there any other Leia outfits I'm not remembering?

Re: Hooded Luke, Hoth Leia, and Garindan (Back of Max Rebo box)
I can only think of 3 more Leias beside your list:
if you want to get really nitpicky, a Cloud City escape Leia would have the Hoth suit without the vest.
a General Leia from RotJ (no ponch or helmet)
Also, an awesome 3 pack would be Chewie, Bespin Han and Hoth Leia all with breathing masks on from the asteroid scene.
4 if you want to count an animated Rebels Leia

But a regular Cloud City Leia would have a different outfit and that amazing one time only hairstyle with the braid hoops. I was fascinated by that as a kid
 I do think an asteroid 3 pack would be nifty, tho woe to my bank account. And to be super nitpicky, I'm pretty sure she's never referred to as General Leia in RotJ, tho she should be! I mean, Han got the title and she'd been with the Rebellion for way longer.

I agree, a Cloud City Leia would be amazing! but I have to confess that it's not one of my favorite looks for her. IDK why but original ANH and Hoth are my preference...we won't mention the metal bikini
 you might be right about "General Leia", mayber I got that from one of the Kenner/Hasbro figure releases

I'm not allowed to state my source, but I can confirm that it was at least at one point meant to be a HT exclusive. I did learn of Gold BB-8 being a Black Friday HT Ex from the same source and that turned out to be true, so you can trust me.

I hope if Garindan is an exclusive that your source is correct then.  I much rather have it be a Hot Topic exclusive than perhaps a Walmart or Walgreens.

The members of the Alliance deferred to her original title of Princess. That makes sense in the OT as Alderaan had only recently been destroyed. It would just be cumbersome and awkward to call her Princess General Leia or General Princess Leia. I don't think anyone in the Alliance had the slightest doubt that her importance transcended a military rank anyway.
I realize of course she's known as General Leia in TFA. This makes sense, for a number of reasons, though. At this point we're decades removed from the destruction of Alderaan so immediately referring to her royal title would seem outdated (though I loved that bit between Poe Dameron and Lor San Tekka when he says "Oh, the General? To me, she is royalty."). Also, at that point, Leia had been serving in the New Republic Senate for a very long time and people would have naturally called her Senator Organa like they do in the TFA prequel novel, Bloodline. But once she leaves the Senate to start the Resistance, calling her General makes complete sense. Or Commander. But that seems to be reserved for pilots given that Han was General Solo whereas Luke was Commander Skywalker.
Yes, I should be doing work. But the force drawing me to talk Star Wars nerdery is too powerful to resist!!!

I'd hope for Leia in a SB box. after Carrie Fishers passing, any new figures of her will probably be on the flippers radar.

you might be right about "General Leia", mayber I got that from one of the Kenner/Hasbro figure releasesDogmatic wrote:She's General Leia in Episode VII, maybe that just influenced you subconsciously.
found it! horrible figure but YAY, I'm not losing my mind!![]()
That's awesome! Honestly, I think George Lucas just liked calling Leia a princess and didn't stop to think that she probably should have been addressed as a general. I'm glad the toy company picked up the slack!

The members of the Alliance deferred to her original title of Princess. That makes sense in the OT as Alderaan had only recently been destroyed. It would just be cumbersome and awkward to call her Princess General Leia or General Princess Leia. I don't think anyone in the Alliance had the slightest doubt that her importance transcended a military rank anyway.
I realize of course she's known as General Leia in TFA. This makes sense, for a number of reasons, though. At this point we're decades removed from the destruction of Alderaan so immediately referring to her royal title would seem outdated (though I loved that bit between Poe Dameron and Lor San Tekka when he says "Oh, the General? To me, she is royalty."). Also, at that point, Leia had been serving in the New Republic Senate for a very long time and people would have naturally called her Senator Organa like they do in the TFA prequel novel, Bloodline. But once she leaves the Senate to start the Resistance, calling her General makes complete sense. Or Commander. But that seems to be reserved for pilots given that Han was General Solo whereas Luke was Commander Skywalker.
Yes, I should be doing work. But the force drawing me to talk Star Wars nerdery is too powerful to resist!!!
I appreciate you trying to make sense of George Lucas's mess,
 tl'dr the military structure in SW is for the birds

I don't care what else what I accomplished in life - I'm keeping the title Princess 
 And Your Highnessness! hehehehe
Just got my Max Rebo - love him! Love that little guy. And excited to get these others - especially Hoth Leia. Although I now seriously have to re-jigger my Star Wars POP shelves...
