I think that little lanyard accessory with last Jedi Luke is a broken light saber isn't it? Looks like one of those crystals....ordered old Luke this morning

 

[Flintty]

Old Luke is up on N2G. Got my order in!!

I personally think its the crystal from vaders lightsabre, and i think kylo will get it at some point and perfect his sabre, we know his crystal is flawed, which make his all raw and un contained

Ordered 2 Lukes from Nippon, so stoked, might order a third from one of the other places to try them out

TLJ Luke is finally up at Nippon, incase anyone was still waiting.

I am really shocked the are giving us so much Prequel characters already. Not that I am complaining as I plan on getting all of them. The Padme in her royalty costume is amazing. I mean, she had so many beautiful costumes in those movies that they could easily make a whole line based on her.

I'm sure there a lot of dedicated fans who grew up with the prequels (and subsequent animated series) that love that specific trilogy - and are now young adults with disposable income.

I was in the boat of being born after the original trilogy but was already of teenage age by the time the prequels were released, so I was very lukewarm about the prequels. Over the years, I sort have softened on the prequels and have learned to appreciate it more now (without the prism of my original trilogy bias).

Agreed that the Queen Amidala looks amazing - will get her. Loved the Padme (Attack of the Clones) too, I believe the figure was released earlier this year as a web exclusive. I hope they produce more Padme figures but I can't imagine they'd release more than one look per movie.

that's kind of the blessing and curse of this smaller scale, pretty much every character can be pumped out. Which is great for collectors but bad for the wallet. But at least you have the option to choose.

With 1/6, 1/4, etc. scale, the selection is much more limited - and the prices are way higher too.

Very excited about these, but gutted that not only does Dooku come with a soft-goods cloak, but he's got that chest piece that Jedi Luke has which makes him look like he's wearing a piece of armour

Yeah, it's odd that they gave him that articulation when usually only the armored figures have it. Hope they change that and the color of his outift.

 

[GasparZizou]

Yeah, after the hype is down I have several complaints about Dooku.

Mainly the thick cape, the color and the ugly diaphragm joint.

Thanks to everyone in this thread with their help/advice on where to pre-order TLJ Luke from. I just finished placing an order with Nippon-Yasan.com.

 

[rhboyd]

does anyone here have any info on Old Man Solo release?? any idea at all???

 

[CrankbaitJon]

Man the SW SHF line is turning to be a very nice collection. The figures just get better and better.

Wow, Luke is selling out fast. I just don’t understand why they made him an exclusive. Crazy. Anyway, snagged mine from Nippon.

The only way it makes sense to me is if they're already planning another ST Luke (the white robe version probably) to come soon & he'll be a standard release. But has Figuarts ever done anything like that, releasing/revealing the same character twice that fast?

its not selling out. Middlemen have to pay up front and can only order 24 pcs per resident account. So what you see is them offering 24 spots (Pre orders), once they have 24 they place the order with p-Bandai, once thats secure they'll offer 24 more spots (if they choose) but need a separate resident account, places like Nippon have more accounts than some smaller places. The pre order window stays open for a few weeks and Bandai will make as many as are ordered, so theres no shortage, its just the middlemen need to find ways to offer more.

as for the ep7 ver of luke, doubt we'll see him, lots of key characters are web exclusive, has nothing to do with who the character is. Again we need to keep in mind these product are for asia, not us, its harder for us to get but we're not the market

They did that with Unmasked Kylo. So maybe!

That feel when the Figuarts Luke looks way better than the Hot Toys version... Really hope Hot Toys revisits that figure and works on it before release =P
