Light FX figures

@Calysto I had the same thought when they showed them off. I haven't bought Kylo Ren yet for that reason.

Just hoping LightFX Kylo Ren does not turn into another Glow Buzz. It was so obvious that he was going to be released, there is even a missing slot in the DS version (assuming it is for Glow Buzz, but definitely room for one more unreleased character). The base is so obvious that it is a LightFX that it will be disappointing if they "forget" to make him.

@perrythemonkey maybe the ds space was for the crystal mickey that got delayed?

Glow buzz is a different issue as they couldn't find the right paint/material to make it safe I believe. But with kylo they already can make light fx

I'm not so naive to think nothing is planned; of course it is. Marketing plans when to release things well in advance.

@BionicKoalaBoy, I just also think what they said about the initial Light FX delay was true, and if they ever do release Maul/Ahsoka, the same will be true. Your point about ILM is irrelevant. We all know the tech to make a light up figure exists. It's simple electronics. The base has existed since 1.0, and I honestly don't think they had Light FX figures planned back with 1.0, nor did they have them ready for the DI 3.0 release, which I'm sure you guessed it, was a planned release date created by marketing.

I don't wear rose-tinted glasses, but I've been, and still am sometimes, on the side the actually has to either do marketing or work with them while I'm developing products to know that there are legitimate issues from creatives, marketing, what investors want, and trying to hit optimal release dates (like a movie release or holiday, or end of a fiscal calendar, the list goes on).

But I don't believe the Light FX were all delayed as a marketing ploy. That's all I was saying. Of course marketing is very much planned. But not every plan was the ideal marketing plan.

For anyone in the UK looking the light fx, a lot have gone on offer. Game selling 2 for £18 (kanan and darth). Argos is 2 for £17 but they only have 1 so you'll need to buy something else for that price

I wonder if Rey would be one of the new light fx figures?

That would be cool @Boomer!

Finally got all the light FX figures for UK. Found Obi Wan at Sainsbury's for £9.99.
