Star Wars Hikari Hitting Stores

[Warner]

Judging by a bunch of the ebay sellers, a lot of the Star Wars Hikari that have been up for pre-order are hitting stores. I'm sure the prices will calm down a bit from their $80 points, but most of these are must haves for me!

Which ones are you looking forward to most? I need to pick up Galaxy Storm Trooper, Shadow Trooper, Prism Boba, and Regular Glitter Boba

[CAHRULL]

I've got a Shadow Trooper and Glitter Boba Fett on preorder and am anxiously awaiting notification that they've shipped...hopefully I hear about that soon. I am dying to get some of the Darth Vader variants. He seems to be one of the fastest-selling Hikari in recent memory though, so I'm waiting to see how the price point looks after a few weeks/months.

I have so many SW Hikari on preorder it's crazy...my front porch is going to look like a USPS hub pretty soon

Got my shipping notification from Gemini for my Prism Boba Fett!

[TheJobaFett]

I just got 4 notifications from Gemini myself

[CAHRULL]

I had mine via Entertainment Earth, and yesterday when I checked both said "estimated July 2015". This morning they both say "Estimated August 2015". I wonder if that estimation is wrong, or if EE's shipment is delayed.

EE is always slower than any other site. I think they fill business account orders first, which is why you tend to see products, including EE exclusives, hit stores before your own preorder is filled. But at least you're guaranteed the item. I have a bunch from them too that I'm waiting on, but I need to make more room for my Hikari anyways.

Yeah I've kind of had the same experience with them...pricier than most other places, and a bit slower, but 100% reliable. I try to order as little as possible there because there are a lot of cheaper options but some I don't feel as confident in with preorders.

[Poncho Pete]

So glad these are getting out!

[Warner]

Looks like some Iron Man hikari are showing up as well! Saw a Raw steel in hand on ebay.

Did that black stealth iron man ever show up anywhere?

[Warner]

Just got charged for two of my three preorder from EE for dirty penny clone and either prism bossk or infrared Vader. looks like all the star wars pieces are releasing together. UNLIMITEDDD HIKARIIIII

[sh3l8y]

Got charged for one from EE
Not sure if its for Glitter 442nd Battalion or Starfield

[TheJobaFett]

I just got 4 notifications from Gemini myself

Make that 6

[CAHRULL]

Still no word on my Shadow Trooper...keeping my fingers crossed it's soon.

[swind15]

I'm waiting for the Ebay flood, so I can get metallic Bossk and Prism Boba Fett at decent prices.

[brooklyn_geek]

My Starfield, Shadowtrooper and Prism Boba are enroute and since EE charged me for the Infrared Vader yesterday so it should ship today

On Entertainment Earth... I do wholesale business with them and they in fact process the retail presale orders first...you see them in stores slightly sooner because they usually overnight to the big box stores while everyone else gets slower and usually free shipping through FedEx.

MY MAN CLYDE HAHAHAHA! so glad you are up on this board finally! dig the avatar

[Eloy]

Just got my shadowtrooper from Gemini. Looks ok, I see some paint bubbling though and I thought it would be more matte black. Also, the box says stormtrooper instead of shadowtrooper

[Warner]

Hot topic also has original darth Vader le 1500, just saw one in store. It's non-glitter.

Are you saying original as in traditional paint scheme or the first hikari release which is the lightning version?

[CAHRULL]

My Boba Fett is MIA but I did get my Shadow Trooper. He looks pretty awesome in person despite not photographing well.

Sorry about your Boba Fett but congratulations on finally getting your Shadow Trooper!

Interesting, I don't recall seeing this! Does anyone have pics?

[Warner]

It was on a ridiculously high shelf in a poorly lit Hot Topic, but I'm certain it was this one.

[Valde]

Warner that's the one I saw yesterday too, it was hard to resist buying it and the Stormtrooper.

[Bamapop]

Here is another new one on Entertainment Earth...

I like the regular versions starting to show up.

Good to be here...and thank you for the avatar...

ON topic, I'm also getting some of the rainbow prism Boba's this week as well. Did anyone else get one of those?

[Sir Real]

Yeah, jet-black regular colored Darth Vader was at my Hot Topic today. He has a cape too. Grabbed him for sure.

Though normal colors Boba Fett is the one I'm really waiting for.

I received Raw Steel, Molecular and Inferno Iron Man on Friday/Saturday from Gemini, so they are out. No sign of the stealth but personally I am skipping him. Bummed they do him in a more comic accurate deep midnight blue or a dark metallic/glitter blue. That I would have picked up in a heartbeat. The black just feels lazy IMO.

[mohawkjones]

BTW, received my Lighting Vader this weekend... and he has 2 right arms! So bummed, waiting on word for a replacement.

[brooklyn_geek]

I got prism Boba, Starfield Stormtrooper, Shadowtrooper and Infrared Vader yesterday...also got the inferno and raw steel iron man as well...

[Bamapop]

Two more Stormtroopers, regular and rusty....

Thanks for the links Josh! Hopefully these are still in stock by the next Hot Cash sale

[Warner]

Finally a regular storm trooper. The rusty one looks killer. Thanks for the links!

[Warner]

Regular clone, 442nd siege battalion, and starfield storm trooper also up.
