I thought that I would just share this with you (just in case you may not have seen it yet). I think he is very cool.

I hope that they make different characters.

I have just bought one for myself from a seller on ebay, as it is not available for purchase via shop-at-home for Australian residents.

I hope that you enjoy.

Too expensive for me. Can't play with it and I'm not so much into Star Wars Lego anymore.

Saw it at TRU a couple weeks ago. While kinda cool, I really don't have any interest in buying one, even though I'm a huge sucker for Lego Star Wars.

I have to agree with that. I'm also not a fan of the way their arms and legs are posed. Just makes me think they're broken minfigures.

Can the arms be swapped out into normal minifig torsos?

No, as these are quite a bit taller than minifigs. I believe they are 6 inches tall. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

You're right Josh, the minifig does stands 6 inches tall.

That's a shame. It could've been used in comics pretty well.

yeah, no kidding. it says in the lego catalogs something like "Great for AFOLs!" which makes no sense to me, because as I understand it, the LEGO SW games are very simplistic with a difficulty-level appropriate for a family-type setting (i.e. little kids). Not that I don't love the games, only that if I'm spending 70 bucks, I'd rather spend it on more LEGOs.

If had a girlfriend/wife that was cool with these then I might buy one but if not I could see these as the "anti-chick" magnet. Plus I could think of other LEGO products to spend this on as well.
