S.H. Figuarts Star Wars

Currently, paying upfront is a big no no.
If it's still available in 3 months, I'll be able to do it, but right now, nope.
I also have better things IMO to spend my money on (like Kamen Rider and DBZ)

Great, so why complain about the company when youre in a situation of your own making?

Hello there

 

[Yarlick]

Don't misunderstand me LipSmack, the situation I'm in is not of my own making, I stopped buying collectible for 5 months because of financiary problems that came just like this.
And even with limiting my expenses, problems keep pilling up...

I even stopped buying Kamen Rider and DBZ figures because I had to....If it wasn't the case, I would still be buying those.

The only thing that irks me is the Tamashii Web exclusive tactics for any kind of figure, I don't like it at all because that means that the "third man" is adding a cost to the retail price making it more expensive than it should be.

It's just the price you have to pay, the Star Wars SHF line is one of the few lines not distributed in the US. Honestly buying their exclusives is not that bad considering. Imagine being a non-US fan of Mezco and NECA where all of their exclusives are US only and typically extremely limited also. You basically have zero chance of getting it for a reasonable price, tack on usually 50% MSRP and $30 shipping for their stuff.

Anime-Export adds like $5 to the price of Web Exclusives, sucks to pay up front but its not highway robbery.

this exactly a situation of your own making, how is anyone (person or company) responsible for your money and collecting habbits? if youre in a financial pickle I would recommend not buying toys and selling some to get yourself back into a good position, this is a hobby, it falls way behind on the list of priorities

Basically, I got scammed, so no, I’m not primary at fault. I won’t go into details since it’s personal, but I got nothing to do with the current situation I’m in.

 

[LipSmack]

I don't mean to drag on or blame you, but that situation is a situation only you had control over, like I said before, why should Bandai skirt licensing agreements to satiate your collecting habits just because you have troubles? They have to operate the way they do for now, if it doesn't work for you then it doesn't work, sucks to have been scammed but it's really no one else's problem, right? Not blaming you, but no other person had your level of control over that situation.

Anyways played with Obi more, the materials are a million time better than the first two releases, I kind of want re runs with this new molded technique VS the paint they used on them

Based on the quality of Ahch To Luke and ROTS Obi Wan when the Battle of Crait Luke finally sees release it will be an incredible figure.

 

[Matt S]

I may have to get that version of luke. While I am cold on what they did with Luke, I thought Mark Hamill was AMAZING in the role again

 

[DakRen]

I hope the prototype has the glove fixed. It shouldn’t be so short at the wrist. The real brown glove is thicker and goes up the forearm. If that white area is painted brown to match the glove it would be perfect.

But then you lose all articulation there, I hope they keep it so I can use these hands on the Old man Luke

 

[The acient one]

Last Jedi Luke’s hands won’t fit on the Crait Luke’s because the are sculpted with the a part of the sleeve attached.

The gloved ones will, same joint

Well the First of the month stuff went up a few nights ago, so could be any time now for the webshops, I think closer to the 15th maybe, could be next month as well
