The likely release of Finch in another set (or even polybag) will rapidly put the value of this set back to well under RRP. Sellers could also have to deal with returns after dodgy buyer remove Finch.

But what does any of this have to do with the OP about January 25th and in warehouse at shop at home and what does that mean???

The boy is saying his backorder is fulfilled so it´s likely there will be more of the new minifigs on the market in a week or so.

Ohhhh just noticed he’s in UK. Resistance Bomber has been available and on discount at US SAH for a long time now.

Without Finch... it's a turkey

With Finch being released in another set or polybag... it's a turkey

Not exactly, scroll up and there was a reply to one punter about there maybe being a poly or set featuring Finch in the future. Nobody really knows what will happen but right now seems the safe time to sell.

If the restock is the new figure (a big IF), then we'll know within a week how rare it is by the number of new ebay listings.

I'm following Wesley's Passenger 57 advice.

Thanks @Villager Chris - mines showing that too;

• Plan A is to sell minifigure ASAP and part out the set for my Bricklink store
• Plan B is realising that it's old stock, being disappointed, and eventually deciding to keep it for my collection

Can you let me know the outcome? I'm expecting Friday delivery. I only know of 3 people that ordered one.

@Vale-E - 25S7 - I'm tempted to return it to LEGO, I'm awaiting a reply from them.

That´s REALLY old - pretty much first production run.

[puristgreen]

Received mine this morning too - regular old box. Sorry I sealed up again before looking at the codes.

Spoke to CS - there is a "high probability" that Finch is inside ,but no guarantee.

They have no info on a box art change, but I am sending this one back for a replacement to see if I get lucky next time. They said that they had VERY few left.

Thanks @Lobot. Mine will be the same, no doubt, when it arrives. Frustrated but not surprised. 

[Val-E]

Return them fast before the 50% sale ends.

[eliminator]

Sold my Finch for $75USD. I have 2x first production run sealed 75188 sets that I'm tempted to "exchange" one for the new version for my personal build collection...if I can actually locate them locally (likley TRU).

Who is still paying $70 for one rebel pilot figure?  What is the fascination with him?

Second run has a rare face and helmet. Apparently people pay easy 50 euro for it.

If you complained to Lego on your first run 75188, they shipped you the face and helmet for free. 

Add a body from cheap set 75195 and you have a Finch Dallow without opening a 75188.

Pretty sure I made most profit on a 75195 and a call to Lego
