Is the Starkiller set shipping now or is it a preorder?

It's not listed as preorder on Pulse right now (the other stuff revealed all is). 

Baylan and Shin look awesome. Those are the only two reveals I needed to be happy. More would be great, but that's good enough for me today. Love 'em.

I'm still struggling a bit with the color choices on some Ahsoka figures. Just like how I think they really overdid the brighter elements of Marrock's costume, I think they went the opposite for Baylan and his costume looks way darker for the figure than it was in the show.

I'll buy this one, and when they do a better one with a cloak, I'll buy that damn one too.

The CAN Archive reveals are cool. I never owned X-Wing Luke, so if it gets a good headscan I'll grab him. And I'm a sucker for more Stormtroopers. Having another Bo Katan out makes me think I'll be able to find one of them at a pretty good discount.
My son has all of my Vaders, so I'm definitely in the market for a new Vader. But at this point I'm not fussy about which film/show he's based on, I just want him to have butterfly joints and vertical wrist hinges, and I'm (currently) willing to wait for that to happen rather than jump on whatever Hasbro tosses in stores next.

I definitely pre ordered Baylan and Shin.  I love both of these characters.  Thats crazy if those Archive figures of X-Wing Luke, Stormtrooper, Bo Katan, and ANH Vader are only being released at Non US retailers.  I mean, it's no big deal, as I do have all of them. But I'm sure they would sell here in the US just as well.

I just want an HK-47 in Black Series.

Plus what happened to that pipeline Phantom Menance Padme from forever ago?

Probably in the same wave as Ki Adi? heh.

@ru1977 I'd buy all the prequel figures, I don't get why Hasbro drags their feet.

All the Jedi and Padmes would be instant buys from me, other than Knights of the Old Republic my interest in Star Wars is the lowest it has ever been.

I don't either. There's a lot of seemingly no-brainer figures they could do. Even repaints, like the clones or something. And I know they DO some but there could be a lot more, and army builders just seem like evergreen releases.

Somewhat related but have they ever done any kitbashes in Black Series?

She, Ki-Adi, and Padawan Anakin are no doubt in the same wave together. And they seem to have jumped aboard a Purrgil and flown to a different galaxy.

hasbro usually has a few pieces for sale/shipping right away for pulse members, then after they go thru all of that inventory, the rest is pre order. it was the same last year...

Baylan and Shin are wanted and very cool. Gotta say though . . . pipeline was a bummer. Still waiting on Cantina aliens, Jabba’s palace denizens, Shadows of the Empire, Dark Forces, and, oh, I don’t know, frigging Boba Fett from Book of Boba Fett for crying out loud???

Of the recent Boba Fett looks neither TVC or BS have all looks covered. TVC is missing the Tython reclaimed armor look and BS is missing TBoBF look. Both are baffling. TVC is an easy repaint of their Morak/Throne Room figure. TBoBF is of the headline character. So odd to not have that yet but Cad Bane and BK are both on the way. Heck, a Cob Vanth variant came out before the main character!

I definitely hear that, but I went ahead and ordered the Figuarts one when Amiami had a sale running. Hasbro can sit and spin on the BOBF figure as far as I'm concerned now. And I'd prefer they do.

Anybody know if I can snag Teebo anywhere for retail? Finally got Paploo and Wicket and now I need him.

Also need an R2… anybody know of the best one to get? Hopefully still retail? 

The new Return of the Jedi R2 is the hands down best (non-import) R2 out there. Check back a few pages for my rundown of it. You should still be able to preorder it from Amazon or BBTS. There's also the exact same R2 being released in Mandalorian packaging coming out. Both of them should be hitting stores in the next month or two, so you won't be getting him right away.
