@Sean Whitmore fwiw they’ve handled shipping that way for years so this isn’t a new practice for them. As to why, I think it’s because they’re generous with holding your orders so if you hang on to a few things to ship in relative bulk, they have to figure out how to tetris everything as effectively as possible. That’s impossible to know until they actually get everything packed and ready.
If anyone has an extra Anakin Reissue or Frieza 2nd form for sale, please let me know since my AE preorder never went through apparently.
Any update if Bandai will release the Mando version of the speederbikes or at least re-release the original version?
If possible, I’m voting for a rerelease of the New Hope Chewbacca. It’s the only original cast figure I don’t have and the aftermarket for that one is MURDEROUS.
Wasn’t there at some point something about the height of the new SHF Fett to be different? Anyways, mine should be on the way.
Early promo shots had the new one oddly positioned so it looked significantly taller; then the official measurements came out and it was the same height Bandai just whiffed on the early photo and caused panic
There’s a bunch I would put in for but I expect a bunch of bull shit that’s usually cheap to win. I’m personally hoping for ANH Chewbacca. I passed at the time and regret it.
I got one on ebay a few days ago for $80 shipped. Its about ~$50 retail in Japan so local sellers are doing about that plus $20-30 shipping costs.
