Postby **The 998th LC** » Fri Mar 13, 2015 12:14 pm

I wonder where the 100 piece will be available :-k

Postby **MaxGoof** » Fri Mar 13, 2015 12:15 pm

ONE HUNDRED?! Wow!! That's a mighty small edition size!!

Postby **homietrav** » Fri Mar 13, 2015 12:18 pm

I like the smaller editions, even if im not able to get one.
They both look really cool!

Postby **funkystark** » Fri Mar 13, 2015 12:19 pm

ofcourse one of the few Star Pieces I actually wanted has to be limited to 100... dammit.

Postby **TheJobaFett** » Fri Mar 13, 2015 12:20 pm

See this, this is my sad face. Why SW, why must you have one of the lowest non-bagged edition size yet??

Isn't that Pyro Astro Boy and Gold Kappa from NYCC?

Fixed

Ordered that glitter!
It's beautiful

Ummm... Is anyone else wary of the fact that the Glitter Trooper is a LE 100, and EE will allow you to put over 100 of it into your basket...?

Postby **Jango_Fresh** » Fri Mar 13, 2015 12:33 pm

I am happy to see a low LE even if my order gets cancelled

Postby **funkystark** » Fri Mar 13, 2015 12:34 pm

Crap EE won't let me add it to my cart

Postby **MaxGoof** » Fri Mar 13, 2015 12:39 pm

Sold Out on EE now. I ordered one at 12:14, but didn't get a confirmation E-Mail. I smell a cancellation... =-/

I wonder if the 100 glitter are like chases? It would make it a 1000 piece edition with a 1 in 10 ratio...Just reminds me of how the ponies come/look

Luckily snagged our Glitter version in time!

Did you get a confirmation E-Mail or order number? My order went through and has an Internet Order Number, but still says "Processing" and I got neither.

Postby **sh3l8y** » Fri Mar 13, 2015 12:54 pm

Mines still processing
Ordered at 12:03
But it usually isn't instant

I don't think they'll cancell orders
They usually pull it from the website before it oversells

Postby **a99kitten** » Fri Mar 13, 2015 12:56 pm

Grabbed the Glitter version with an email timestamp of 9:30am - hope no problems with order!

Yes, we received an email with order #.

I hope to win this one really cool.

Anyone who "thinks" they got one of the 100 LE .. should "rethink" it .. lol

Not trying to be a Debbie Downer .. but here's something to think about ..

These are limited to 2pcs. per retailer. My order was to them inside 5 minutes, and they don't send out confirmation emails until at least 2pm my time. Sometimes I don't get a confirmation email until Monday. Good thing I know people .. lol

Postby **AbelBeja** » Fri Mar 13, 2015 1:13 pm

I'm liking the original Siege Clone Trooper more than the glitter variant.

So you mean even if we received confirmation emails, that doesn't mean anything/will be cancelled?

I wouldn't count on that confirmation email on an order of an item that wasn't even confirmed that they got any.
Just saying ..

I hope everyone gets one .. but just helping people realize what the true odds are.

Postby **MaxGoof** » Fri Mar 13, 2015 1:18 pm

Even if these are limited to 2 pieces per retailer for normal retailers, EE is one of the biggest Funko supporters and carries more Funko exclusives than almost any US retailer (with Hot Topic being the exception). It's not impossible that EE may have gotten like 10 pieces, is it?

Well, here is hoping for the best! Good luck all!

Postby **glowfunkofreak** » Fri Mar 13, 2015 1:21 pm

Sucks for me since I collect all the Glitter ones .. so if my order goes through I only have one for my customers.

Maybe I can cut it in half .. or in thirds .. quarters ? lol

Postby **BigM** » Fri Mar 13, 2015 1:42 pm

I actually prefer the regular one too.

Postby **eastWOLF** » Fri Mar 13, 2015 1:49 pm

Glad I don't like glitter variants, but the regular looks great!

Postby **ColdSummer** » Fri Mar 13, 2015 2:01 pm

Soooo, will any other stores be getting these soon?

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Fri Mar 13, 2015 2:13 pm

They don't appear to be exclusives so others should get them as well.

Learned about them in a WWII history class I took a couple semesters back, some amazing Americans indeed!

Been looking for another idea for a Hikari custom, and I think I found one

My order was placed at 12:23 Pacific.

Postby **funkystark** » Fri Mar 13, 2015 4:04 pm

I was there at 12:26 makes sense, thanks for the reply..

Anytime. I hope you're able to obtain one too. I'm sure you're well aware, but eBay stores might also put them up too. Not flippers but actual stores. Lighting Vader was selling at retail after I missed him at EE.

I've got my radar going lol

I'm checking everywhere I can think of

Really p*** that these sold out when I know that the majority of them will end up on ebay or being resold for higher prices. Was hoping to get 1 of each SW hikari, so far not looking so great.

I know one glitter Siege trooper that won't be going to eBay

I also find it funny that the first trooper Hikari they released is the same style as a wobbler they couldn't get approval for and only 4 were made

Postby **bobbleboy** » Fri Mar 13, 2015 5:02 pm

Balls. Haven't been able to find the glitter.

Welp...at least I have the wobbler. SW5
