The Hunt Is On - The Vintage Collection 3 3/4" VC116 Republic Trooper (The Old Republic) Update

As the Vintage Collection prepares to wind down, there's now only one figure left on my huntlist that I'll be keeping an eye out for - VC116 Republic Trooper (The Old Republic).

DorkSideToys.com are currently listing a release date of November 30th 2012 for this figure - the same as that which appeared on Amazon.com before the figure became unavailable. I'll be visiting New Zealand in December, so my plan is to spend a few weeks scoping out the shops both here and back home for what I can only assume will be a very sought after figure. If I don't have any luck in stores, I'll have to look into sourcing the figure online when I return to the US.
