If it's easy to get I'll grab one but I won't be doing any camping or aggressive trying to get one.

Not really feeling this one. It's too similar in my opinion to the one that came out last year. Big pass for me.

very similar to the bb-8 from last year. it is a fairly large dome for such a small golden figure. But hoping to score one in stores.

Just checked my order history and I placed the order on 11/22/16. So if they follow the same trend, it'll be available on Tuesday of Thanksgiving week.

Yes. One of mine I ordered online came with the head off. However I was able to screw it back on without issue.
Now if it's easy to get, I may cop one but honestly I personally did not think it was that cool or nice looking. It was sort of off that it was all gold painted.

Same for me. Passed on BB-8 and will be passing on this one as well. Not worth the price to me, and I have no room for a box like that anyway. I hate the oversized dome. My local HT is not gonna be happy having to find space for these, because the BB-8s are still on a shelf collecting dust. They only sold one since it was released. I honestly feel bad for my HT, because these are gonna be holding up valuable shelf space. I don't understand why they don't put the BB-8s on clearance to try to get rid of them. Maybe they aren't allowed to, I don't know.

It's a pass for me too. The gold BB8 was one of those rare times that I regretted buying something Funko.

I want it, but like the bb8 it's just way too big. Shrink down the dome (or remove it altogether), and make the box smaller and it would be a day 1 buy for me.

I agree! my local HT didn't sell a lot either. They actually ended up clearancing lots of their BB-8. My local HT also have hella of those Fallout pops too!

Exactly my store had a bunch on clearance with a big sign that said for sale AS IS, they are gone finally maybe like a week ago I noticed they aren't on the shelf anymore.
