S.H. Figuarts Star Wars

[Flintty]

Hello all. My first post here. I hadn't bought a Star Wars figure since the 80's but decided to get the vadar and storm trooper and I loved them! I've since gotten Jedi luke. I have obi wan, 1 battle droid, 2 clone troopers, kylo ren and 6 first order troopers on pre order. Waiting for that amazing captain phasma to go up. Missed maul preorders so I keep checking. Is there any word on those Luke and Han from new hope? Oh, I'll of course grab c3po and r2 as well as mauls bike. I'm fully invested in this line. I hope they pump out a lot of characters.

Welcome to the forum!

Keep checking Amiami and HLJ for Maul, he keeps popping back up. There's usually a post in this thread when he does so it's a good idea to subscribe and keep checking here too. No new news on the others yet but you can bet there will be a frenzy here when there is!

So when checking out on HLJ, do you not enter card info until they alert you? Any confirmation order for PO?

Yeah you make an account but you dont get charged until its shipping , paypal is a great optuon they offer too,

Ami's shipping is so much higher than HLJ that the prices ultimately balance out. And with HLJ you can combine orders over several months instead of having to ship orders monthly. I order from both but I prefer to order with HLJ for most items.

Same, HLJ is my hommie

So, since I'm really new to figuarts, what chances are there for a rerelease of the original storm trooper? I want about 4-5 total. Seems like a no brainier but not sure how figuarts are about rereleases.

The troopers are still available on certain sites. Just google it

They didn't sell that well the first run, they were just more limited, due to fact that people didn't like the price. Other than the articulation and some minor details people were much happier buying the cheaper black series troopers

I bought a couple through Amazon.com this month. Definitely worth it. I love the glossy finish.

Ami2 is always cheaper than HLJ, so go for ami2 if you can.

Yeah, but every now and then HLJ gets better prices, and yes, they let you keep things in your warehouse for 2 months and you can end up saving shipping, even if you pay a little more in most items, if you play with those benefits you could end up paying less with HLJ.

I prefer HLJ too most of the times, plus they let you cancel pre-orders, that's the main reason I stick with them, I'm afraid of cancelling anything from AmiAmi

Bandai usually does reissues of high demand figures once the stock dries up, Id put money on a stormtrooper re release going up for order in decmeber -cash in on hype- for a release in the summer to spread it out a bit

I'd love some sand troopers! I wonder if the pace of announcements will speed up after December. Let's hope so.

Hasbro Sand Troopers are worth the price at retail value. Ebay prices on those are kind of high though, but, if you can find some good deals on them they are worth the buy.

Guyver1, you said the original storm troopers are still available on some sites? Mind sharing any of the sites, I have not seen any. Thanks.

I had 3 BS ones but sold them. I hope we get some from Figuarts, if not I'll be happy with their Stormies and the HT Sandtrooper.

Darth maul is BACK UP ON AMIAMI.com Grab him quick.

 

[Platty]

Thanks for posting those pictures orbital frame. They sure do look nice, especially obi and maul.

 

[Kennywr22]

Wow. Thanks for the new pics. They all look so good. Any shots of captain phasma there? Any new announcements?

 

[Silrian]

Can darth maul be reissued? Like, is it a normal release?

Got Luke in, LOVE HIM. Only find the floating crotch piece little weird, cause I find SHF's normal design quit good and it makes his body just a tad too long I'd say, but nitpickings. God damnit I want that obi-wan.

 

[Kennywr22]

I see vadar is coming out again in December. What about the stirmtrooper!! Please.
