Dangard Ace Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 HLJ currently has Kylo Ren Figuarts available. FO Troopers aren't. Quote
Mommar Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) Sweet, man, thanks for the heads up. Wish I hadn't forgotten to pull the trigger on these when they were still at mykombini. I haven't nabbed a First Order Stormtrooper yet. I've almost considered trying a pre-order from ebay at this point. I did finally cave in and pay up front for one of the Riot Control Stormtroopers. I suppose it can double as a first order trooper if the shield is removeable and it comes with the same blaster. Edited December 15, 2015 by Mommar Quote
Dangard Ace Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 No problem. I always give a heads up AFTER I get my order in. haha. I still need to get a normal FO trooper too....and Captain Phasma.....and Obi Wan.... Quote
Mommar Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Yeah, Captain Phasma has eluded me as well. Which Obi Wan are you looking for? Isn't he available? All of the Prequel stuff seems easy to come by. Quote
Dangard Ace Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Figuarts Obi. He's also PreOrder stopped. Quote
Mommar Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Figuarts Obi. He's also PreOrder stopped. There's a Phantom Menace and Attack of the CLones version. Are you referring to Attack of the Clones? Quote
Dangard Ace Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Phantom. I don't think AotC version is out yet for PO....and I don't really need that version. My Darth Maul figuarts doesn't have anyone to fight. Quote
Mommar Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Phantom. I don't think AotC version is out yet for PO....and I don't really need that version. My Darth Maul figuarts doesn't have anyone to fight. Oh, I thought Episode 1 Obiwan was already released. I could see wanting him to pose with Darth Maul though I like his look from Episode 2 better. Of course you could always assume he wasn't cut in half in Episode 1 and make him fight Obiwan whole like they did in The Clone Wars instead. lol Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 dammit i missed out on figuarts kylo ren....again. i can' t even find teh black series one locally. kicking myself for not orderin gon amazon when it was 17.99. lol. oh well. Quote
Dangard Ace Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Nerd Rage! Bearded Obi must only fight bionic Maul! Beyond Darth Maul I'd don't really like the prequels. If I'm gonna buy clone wars then it's gonna be the animated looking stuff. Only way I'd get a correct looking Ahsoka figure. Quote

Mommar Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Two more up for May and June. I'm all over that drummer! http://news.toyark.com/2015/12/15/star-wars-movie-realization-stormtrooper-sh-figuarts-mace-windu-185199 Quote

Dangard Ace Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 First Order troopers are up for order at NY right now. Full price but I got mine! https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/13685-shfiguarts-first-order-stormtrooper.html Quote
Tking22 Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Kylo Ren gallery. http://blog.livedoor.jp/hacchaka/archives/51967367.html Looks good to me, I'm glad I passed on all that Black Series crap, I'll be sticking with Figuarts, I think they've all been pretty fantastic so far. Quote
Mommar Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) If only my companies firewall didn't do horrible things to nippon yasans website I'd check if they still have some troopers available... How odd, it will work with IE but not Chrome or Firefox at work. Either way, two of these suckers have been ordered. Thanks again Dangard! Edited December 16, 2015 by Mommar Quote
Mommar Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Kylo Ren stands at Vaders height, huh? Too bad they'll be a tad undersized to go with any Hasbro toys. That means they'd better make some Figuarts Rey, Finn, etc... figures then. Quote
Tking22 Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Yeah I'll definitely be getting two of every cannon fodder variant, that heavy weapons trooper looks awesome! Quote
Mommar Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 I'll probably stick with one Riot and one Cannon trooper. Quote
Dangard Ace Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Yeah, heavy weapons looks great. Gotta get me one of those too. Kylo Ren just went up at NY. https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/13684-shfiguarts-kylo-ren.html Quote
Mommar Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 NY just shipped my two First Order Stormtroopers. HLJ seems to be taking their time with Kylo Ren. Quote
Dangard Ace Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 What the deuce? They haven't shipped mine yet! Boo!!Hiss!! Quote
Mommar Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) What the deuce? They haven't shipped mine yet! Boo!!Hiss!! Really? They didn't yet? I have Fed Ex tracking and everything already. And today they shipped the second Death Star version Movie Realization Vader. Edited December 17, 2015 by Mommar Quote
Mommar Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 For those of you who use Hobby Link Japan often, what does it mean if three of your orders show a release date but the last one says "Discontinued?" Kylo Ren is not listed as being released this month. I'm wondering if I should jump over to Nippon-Yasan real fast and buy one there if HLJ isn't actually going to send me anything. Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 are there any comparo galleries yet? BS and figaurts? Quote
Dobber Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 They are showing most of of them Ren, Storm Trooper, Vader rerelease as discontinued now. They don't show up on a general search. Chris Quote
Mommar Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 are there any comparo galleries yet? BS and figaurts? I haven't seen any. I can't do a comparison of Kylo Ren, I never got the Black Series version. I do have two Black Series First Order Storm Troopers so I can do those, however I'd imagine if you wait a week or so they'll have a review plus comparison up on The Fwoosh. One of the guys there gets all of the figures, even the Bandai model kits that fit together like the Gundam models do, he already compared the Black Series, Bandai Model Kit and Figuarts versions of Vader and the Storm Troopers so I imagine he'll do one for the new Stormtroopers as well. If you're curious about scale the Figuarts Kylo Ren is posed next to the Figuarts First Order Stormtrooper and Figuarts Vader. I can tell you that the Figuarts Vader is undersized and is about as tall as a Black Series Stormtrooper. Kylo Ren is the same size as that Figuarts Vader so it's safe to assume he's undersized too as the Black Series original and First Order Stormtroopers stand at about the same height. The Black Series First Order Stormtroopers will stand quite a bit taller than the Figuarts ones given the Figuart FO Stormtrooper is shorter than both Vader and Kylo in that picture as well. Quote
Dobber Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Screw it, just bought a Kylo Ren from NY. $70 shipped by EMS. Quote
Dangard Ace Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Really? They didn't yet? I have Fed Ex tracking and everything already. And today they shipped the second Death Star version Movie Realization Vader. Ah you fed ex'd it. I'm shipping it the slow way. I'm a cheap bastard. Save me a couple a bucks to army build more troopers. Quote
Mommar Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Ah you fed ex'd it. I'm shipping it the slow way. I'm a cheap bastard. Save me a couple a bucks to army build more troopers. Yeah, the Post Office around New Mexico is horrendous. I always pay extra for Fed Ex to avoid dealing with them. Plus now I'm never home to pick up packages and FedEx stays open later and it's closer to where my Mom's Long Term Care Facility is so I can easily pick stuff up from them. Quote
Tking22 Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 I finally got a payment request from HLJ for Kylo and a Trooper, it seems HLJ is just like that sometimes, if you got a pre-order in, don't worry, it will go through, they just really like to take their time. HLJ did this with Darth Maul, Vader, Luke, and my Clones and Droids. Quote
Dangard Ace Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 HLJ has low stock of Kylo Ren Figuarts and In Stock for First Order Troopers. Quote
Mommar Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Given the fact that at release they're all getting in a few pieces of each maybe I should wait and see if I can nab a Captain Phasma around release time instead. Quote
Big s Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Just ordered kylo ren and fo storm trooper from Hlj. Ren is green tag in stock fo st red tag low stock. Quote
