Ok I just got an email from Sideshow about Striker. Basically they have concluded that the light up feature isn't possible anymore. They are offering customers the option of refunds too in case they choose. Personally I don't care much for light up features. It's cool like once or twice but it wears off quick. Can't wait till this bad boy is released.
Here is the email
" Greetings Jaeger Pilot,
*
Sideshow wanted to thank you for pre-ordering the*Striker Eureka statue. Your item is currently in production and is estimated to ship out to you early next year.*

Our Production Department has informed us that the light up feature originally planned for the Striker Eureka statue will not be possible. Unfortunately, it seems that the electronic feature significantly compromises the structure and the aesthetic quality of this Mark-5 series Jaeger. We understand if this production change may be disappointing. If you would like to make changes to your order, discuss a refund of your NRD or flex payments, please feel free to respond to this e-mail and I will be more than happy to assist you.
Even with the recent changes, we remain excited to deliver this amazing sculpture to you and we will alert you as more information becomes available. And always remember: Life’s better with a Jaeger."
