Just came across these pics on the Tamashii Nations UK FB page (which isn't that exciting - they barely stock anywhere, get things far later than they initially say and are horrifically overpriced :lol). I'm guessing these are the "US exclusive" parts?

Flames again. How original :rolleyes
Seems like an awful lot to add to the figure though, makes me wonder if it'll drive the price up considerably.

I don't have any flames so actually would like those... But they don't really fit with him IMO.

But I sure as hell hope it doesn't drive up the price.

I'm not opposed to another set of differently-hued flames if they come with the figure honestly.

Look, I'll buy the flames off of anyone who doesn't want theirs. I need a properly colored set.

Mmmm, flames

Strange is $85 via Bluefin. :/

I know the flame are big and all but still that's kind of more than I was hoping for when I saw they were bringing him over. Just need to remind myself those are definitely factored in.

Reminds me a lot of how Iron Man Mk. 6 is only available with a Hall of Armor piece, making him super expensive. Granted that I'd want more, but because of the price I still haven't preordered. Makes me wonder if part of the deal they finally have requires accessories like these.

Cost in the end through a middleman and shipping (since I'll be using Amazon Prime at least) would probably be about the same so I'm still going to get him, but the option for cheaper without the flames would have been nice.

Edit: Oh. Apparently I did my mental math at a pretty outdated exchange rate. At current, this really is stupidly expensive.

Exchange rate could go either way at this point and it's not out for a few months. Really comes down to which risk you're willing to take.

Looks like Padme is going to be a Web Exclusive, her page is up with official photos:

Yeah that doesn't look like Natalie Portman one single bit.

The Dark Knight Batman will be released in June. I’m not a huge fan of the Nolan movies but I consider getting this one, mostly because of the cape. The sooner Tamashii uses cloth capes like this more the better.

I really hope they make a new Darth Vader figure with that sort of cloth material in the future.
