More like they are repaints of B as B was revealed month's ago.

Guess you're right. Tks

So what are the official release dates for these? If Figuarts are gonna steal my wallet, I'd like to plan accordingly.

None yet. Expect them to probably be April or May though.

I thought the pre-orders would be going up any day now...?

Lots of New Photos of Upcoming Star Wars SH Figuarts - The Toyark - News

With the strength of the USD, who cares if these aren't sold stateside, glad I haven't spent a single cent on Hasbro's merch.

Man, I'll be getting that New Hope Luke for sure. Definitely not feeling Hasbro's version with the big white cloth thing draped over him.

So, I am confused.

I don't really follow this line, because it is a little to rich for my blood. But I will have Darth Maul and General Grievous.

Is the Darth Maul getting released with his speeder, or is it just the speeder and I missed out on Maul?

You missed out on Maul as far as preorders go since he's released, but he's available on eBay for not bad prices. The speeder is probably just a toy show item and won't be sold. I'm no expert, but over the last few months I've heard a lot about SH Figuarts and how they'll show off items that they never sell. Apparently done this a lot with DBZ.

So I have zero hope (and really not that much desire personally) that those clones and battle droid variants will ever be released. The clones and droids were pretty readily available as far as preorders go anyway.

Okay great. Thanks for the info.

What was Maul's original retail value?

Wow that farmboy Luke has a great head sculpt, something about the Jedi Luke didn't click for me.

Damn you import prices *shakes fist* and damn you Hasbro for making farmboy Luke a doll!

Is it that Jedi Luke looks emo?

He seems either too sickly or boyish in the face which doesn't work since this was supposed to be the matured Luke. I don't have one myself to give some kind of final judgment (see previous comments about price) so I can't be certain. Overall Jedi Luke is my favorite Luke.

1. Take a look at Maul's 'skirt' in THIS IMAGE (sitting in the speeder).

2. Now compare that with his 'skirt' in THIS ONE (standing).
------------------
Observation: Maul has a different skirt! That tells me that some kind of limited edition exclusive is coming, a different (second) version of Maul, most likely with the speeder included as a package, like the Biker Scout who comes packaged with his bike.

Shipped with a few other items, it was about $48 shipped for me.

Maybe, but as I mentioned before, Bandai creates a lot of stuff for shows (like all those clones), that never see the light of day.

Star Wars Movie Realization Stormtrooper and SH Figuarts Mace Windu - The Toyark - News

http://news.toyark.com/wp-content/up...rooper-004.jpg

http://news.toyark.com/wp-content/up...-Windu-005.jpg

Mace Windu will come with a stand? I wonder if that's a one off or going to set a trend.

Also, if I wasn't already convinced to skip the drummer...he doesn't come with any weapons? I wonder also if that drum is permanently fixed to his body. If it was removable you'd think they'd show it in the group shot of accessories.

Sorry, was a miss understood Google translation.

Hot shit look at this Luke!

And coming in May too! There's a web exclusive Heavy Gunner FO Stormtrooper coming in August too, but LUKE!

Damn

The product page for Luke says May, but the announcement news on their homepage says July.

The latter is more realistic IMO since Tamashii has a solid pattern for releases; we got pre-orders for the June releases this month so it’s logical that we get the pre-orders for the July items on March 1st.

@Topic: These look great, but I don’t need a Tatooine Luke or another First Order Stormtrooper. I thought we would get the Jango Fett they showed last year now after they’re releasing Mace Windu, but it doesn’t seem to be the case. Hope we get that one soon, and maybe more TFA-stuff. I think they could do a fantastic Rey.

I don't know, I needed this release. It's not just Tatooine Luke, it's Luke throughout almost the whole first movie.
