I didn't even see that, you're right! That could technically also mean that this set is Web-Exclusive while the solo Star-Lord package is retail. But I guess we find out once all the listings for September are up.

Yeah, I'll keep my eyes out as well. Going to stink if that's the only way for fans to get a Rocket SH Figuarts.

This is what a Web Exclusive should look like; plenty of additional inclusions that make the figures (and the heartlessly inflated price) feel worthwhile. These normally cost an arm and a leg even when there's only one head sculpt and no fancy accessories so God only knows what getting 3 characters at once is going to mean for my bank account.

I can only assume this whole package will get a Bluefin release.

That sounds expensive.

[Bo Ttef]

Must Buy!

[Captainkrabs]

Instant buy.

This will be an instant buy for me! Where are good places to order from? I usually go through amiami, but they don't do the exclusives. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!

I'd recommend MyKombini

Not that it helps much, but exclusive releases are generally RRP. The price increase is only because retailers typically offer discounts and you're paying middleman fees if you're not in Japan.

Its tempting but the Rocket doesn't look nearly as good as the recent DST one sculpt or paint wise. If I like the movie enough I may shoot for it(You can never have too many articulated Rocket figures) but until then I can pass on it.

[Toonstrack]

Holy crap, so the Rocket comes by himself without Star Lord? That changes things. And that articulation is.... very, VERY nice. This is becoming very tempting, I might have to replace the Rocket on my display already....

The only thing Im decided on is that This is a more movie like one and is more slender while the other one has some nice musculature to him. But still, given these accessories and the articulation present it still might be a better figure. Im gonna have to check the size of my DST one again to decide which one is at the right height that I want him to be with the other figures I plan on getting.

[dukefett]

Still holding out for a US combo pack so I don't have to import and pay the higher prices.

I wonder if that little clear plastic thing is removable from the Groots? It looks odd.

[Toonstrack]

Yea, if I try to get it from Japan, itll likely end up being around $50 and I am NOT paying that for a 3 inch figure. Just no.

[dukefett]

The US release is going to be Star-lord and purple explosions.

Not the SL and Rocket set I was hoping for. And certainly not the type of accessory I was expecting either. I hope they plan to release Rocket here or I'll just import.

Interesting the hoops they have to jump through to get this distributed in the U.S.

[RolandofGilead]

Got Star-lord preordered, but no sign of Rocket and Groot at BBTS.

[Toonstrack]

Sadly I doubt Rocket will ever see the light of day here in the US

[Darth Spidey]

They're not making anyone else
