Is it taller than the first release?

Appears to be the same but won't know till I get home and compare.

 

[GodParticle]

No OT stuff? That's kind of lame

 

[ShortRound]

Yeah. Kinda disappointed about that. Some Empire figures would have been nice.

The Kylo and Rey have some glare from being behind glass but the Kylo sculpt is far superior in person to Rey's

EDIT: Wrong thread.

the bb units are available through combo orders on amiami, or will be when they go live. 8 figures, with 4 bb units.

I hope it's the same with others like HLJ. Kylo's face looks amazing!

 

[DakRen]

Combo orders make sense so ppl only get the BB units if you keep all the figures. It's a clever and binding method it seems.

paying for shipping 4 times at once isn't gonna feel good

 

[theco||ector]

About 3 hours to go!!

I'm waiting on Nippon Yasan to list them too.

Combo orders - they are going to burn a big fat hole in my wallet [emoji52]

The packaging

The gun and staff can be secured to the right leg

You can see the chest-plate ranking is dark on the new figure

It's the same color as the chest-plate on the previous figure

The grooves in the helmet seem to match the color in the new figure

They appear darker in the older figure

The rifles are different colors

The cape on the older figure appears darker to me compared to the new Phasma and the shine of the armor looks more metallic on the new figure as well

So I calculated costs based on amiami listings and approximate shipping:

Overall you would save 6388 yen or $58.06 based on 15% off msrp

total cost before 15%: 47088 or $427.97

total cost w/ 15% off is 39800 $361.73

for SAL Registered add approx 1000 yen each order so 4000 yen 36.36

for EMS add approx 2500 yen each so add 10,000 yen $90.89

So the final cost if using amiami for all 4 orders would be closer to $398.09 for SAL registered and $452.62 for EMS (DHL maybe more?)

I predict HLJ may have only 10% off but we still need to factor shipping costs to their totals and same for other online import stores.

How is SAL compared to EMS? I use EMS because it's fast, never damaged, and gets through customs without having to pay an extra fee. Sometimes i hear about people being charged extra for customs.

EMS is the best in terms of speed usually gets delivered in 3 days, latest 5 but is double if not triple the cost of SAL registered. SAL is fine, I have never lost a shipment and usually gets delivered within a week or two, longest I had to wait was close to 2 months because of last holiday shipping. I received my December figuarts order well into January. Also SAL can be held up in customs longer it seems, I do not know if thats coincidence and these are my experiences living in the United States.

Thanks, I'm also in the US. Longest customs has held an EMS package for me is like 3 days. Adding it all up though, you save a lot using SAL it seems. I'll think about it.
