I agree it's something they could have held off in lieu of a different piece, but I think the piece has some major potential in skirmish play. 14 points to get Han in Stormtrooper Armor in play on the first or second round? That would be crazy.
You basically grab Luke's Snowspeeder, move it 32 squares (or less) at the end of a round, and then you have Han sitting in the middle of the enemy ready for a Furious Assault. Or, you can even get Han Scoundrel in there for 23 points, with a Cunning/Twin on the first phase of the game.
I think it will be one of those pieces that beats the crap out of people's squads for about the first 4-6 games until the opponent figures out where to put it so it can't hurt them.
If you're running B&B, though, you just don't want to start round 2 or 3 with Thrawn staring at Han Scoundrel in Thrawn's starting area.
You may get Han SA for 14 point or Han scoundrel for 24 points with Han in carbonit, but the truth is you will lose more than that amount of points you save getting to him. you may as well just take the Han you wonted in the first place.
I still think this is the worst mini ever. Still there are plenty of good minis in this set to make me wont to but it, as for this Han if i pull him i am sure i can sell/swap him.

Agreed. If they had to do two Han's why couldn't one be new republic. So you could take Han and not have to take Jannia as well, not that there anything wrong with Jannia but sometimes you do not wont both.
As for EU i to would like more ( More Faction based minis OR, NR, Sith, Mando's, Vong.) minis. If WOTC are going to start bringing minis out just for the sake of it like This Han in carbonit or a C-3PO with his leg missing just because it's a scene from the film then this will be my last set. There are far better minis to do.
"Dude out of 4 cases I only ever pulled one. LOL"
It does seem that certain areas get larger numbers of pacific minis. I got 3 out of 3 cases. But not everyone got one or my 2 extra would not have sold.
Sorry to interrupt your topic but it is a general conservation right. anyone can join in.
