You can get some bootleg figures of good quality for that price, but not too much else. Sideshow's Jawas retail for $220, so $110 each lets say. HT's set is $267, but seeing how simple that droid is, you'd have to say the HT Jawa's 'cost' has to be closer to $150, which is crazy for what you're getting. No headsculpt and a fully robed figure.

I'm going to wait until release and see what I can get for an eBay coupon or something like that, or last resort just order from Sideshow since every SW figure sits in stock there. I'm in California so I get sales tax and shipping double whammy, so I avoid it if possible.

I don't know why the Leia set, while still pricey, seems like such a better deal. I guess it seems like a lot more effort put into the Ewok than Jawa.
