Cheer's for the heads-up mate, I'd given up on the EU sites ever getting this figure back in stock
Amazon is weird. Ordered two yesterday, said would be here next month, arrived this morning! Nicely packed, great figure other than the backpack needing a little bit of sticky tack to stay put
Dang! Do you live right next to the distribution center that these are shipping out of? LOL!
Your results may vary, but I found on one of the two I got putting his feet in hot water for 90 seconds gave him better flexibility for standing
Why does amazon uk insist on making this very hard to get?
Yeah amazon I am going to manage to order in the 5 minute order window you randomly put up each day.
I think maybe they haven't got their full shipment ye and so are releasing it like that.

I got a bunch of these and I cant move myself to open a single box up lol I love how amazon has them sealed in their card board boxes.
The ebay prices from German or Austrian sellers for this figure are beyond good and evil. So I decided: I buy it for retail or pass on it.
I never thought I'd get this one for retail since I missed Amazon's initial pre-order window in early November, but about two weeks ago I haphazardly placed a pre-order. The figure was supposed to be shipped mid January, got delivered yesterday!

Yeah the german eBay prices go from 55€ to 65€ upwards!! Ridiculous!!! But just like Cell I placed an order on Amazon a couple of days ago when it was available there again for retail price and was pleasantly surprised when it arrived the other day !!! Super nice figure…

That's sucks. I got fed up waiting on my Amazon US order which I ordered in November to ship, so cancelled it and picked it up from Amazon DE and got a shipping notice for it this morning. Buying an action figure really shouldn't be this hard!
A second one just came today . Arrived in its shipping box, just as the first one.
As of right now they seem to be readily available at German Amazon:
Price is reasonable for a basic figure.

Are you in Europe?
Yeah, in Ireland. Amazon UK and DE were sold out for months, so I tried my luck with Amazon US, but the shipping date kept being put back again and again. Saw the post by Sooper Trooper about Amazon DE shipping and stuck in a pre-order and boom, credit card gets charged and shipping email drops.
Arrive today in Spain from amazon.es in protective cardboard box

Had my Artillery Trooper cancelled on Tuesday. The same day they were stating it would "arrive by 10pm" right up until 6pm. Went to check the status at dinner and the whole order was gone from my account, wiped right out. I checked my e-mails and sure enough, cancelled due to no stock available.
But seriously...why keep telling me its still coming right up to the day, and even hours before its to be delivered? I feel more pissed off now than if they had just cancelled in November or early December.

Saw of of these on amazon.ca for $79.00. Yeah, don't want it that bad LOL.
A bit confused as to how a third party can sell pre-orders fulfilled by Amazon for an Amazon exclusive:

"The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural."
So Amazon is up to their stupid shady **** again. Some (myself included) had their orders cancelled at the last second just 6 weeks ago, some still have their original orders from Fall outstanding. Well, Amazon looks to have sided with profits over customer loyalty and re-listed the item with a tweaked model number and a 70% price hike keeping the item in line with what their 3rd party sellers are asking instead of Hasbro's MSRP.
Original listing:
$26.49
ASIN-B08T6JCZC4
Model Name: BL HAIKU
Item model number-F2883
New Amazon (Sold & Shipped By Amazon):
$45.22
ASIN-B08SQQX72Y
About this item: SW BL HAIKU
Item model number-F28835S0
All they did was added a "5S0" to the model number to designate a new product and changed the ASIN/URL. They will not admit it is the same product and they will not honor any cancelled orders from a few weeks back. They are standing firm that there is no stock available in the warehouse to fulfill the original orders.

Yeah, that is shady. And strange that their system even allows it to happen. I have an order outstanding for two of them that I placed back in November. Hope they sort this out and start fulfilling orders.
So turns out my order was cancelled today as well.
This situation is really strange. I just don’t understand how their system could allow cases of toys from Hasbro to end up for sale under a different listing in the Tools & Home Improvement section.

Got 1 for $33 just now from Amazon though their warehouse deals.
I did the same… and it arrived yesterday.
So paid 25% more to get one with damaged packaging. Hmmm.
I plan to open him anyways but yeah I see your point.

Anyone want to trade a Jeda Patrol Stormtrooper for an Artillery Trooper??
Mine arrived with a shipping sticker just stuck on the figure's box! Dunno WTF Amazon are playing at lately.
Happy to hear someone got some type of resolution. I spent 35mins bounced between 3 Amazon agents and was firmly denied. I still don't think they ever really understood what I was trying to explain to them involving the issue.
Even with the promise from the previous customer service representative that I would be reimbursed the difference once it was delivered they didn't want to do it. Only after escalating the ticket to a supervisor was I given reimbursement, now let's see if it actually shows up on my account.
You would think it being listed under its product code name “SW BL Haiku” and having a Tools & Home Improvement breadcrumb link would be a sign to them that something was not right. Not to mention the price being 70% higher than MSRP and all the unfulfilled cancelled orders on the original listing!

I was able to talk to a CSR and while they would not honor my previously cancelled order, they did say that they would honor the price of the original order. Now, back in December when they cancelled my order, I complained that resellers had THEIR Amazon exclusive on THEIR site for an inflated amount, but they couldn't do anything about it because they weren't "sold and shipped" by Amazon. At the time they told me that if it were to come back in as sold and shipped by Amazon, they would honor that price. So, I had to place the order at $45.22, but they will refund me the difference once it is delivered (I have to call back).
My 2 Artillery Troopers came. There was an inspection sticker on both but it was easy to peel off. Though there is a barcode lane on the bottom of the box. I could do a trade.

What I mean is my Artillery trooper for your Jedha Patrol Trooper.
My figure arrived from Amazon.ca today. Box in perfect condition as it shipped in the sleeve inside another box.
Here is the one that arrived yesterday. Really happy with it.
Pauldron is the same mold as the original one from way back that was used on the first series Sandtrooper. It works well. Here's a comparison shot with the pauldron on another RO Stormtrooper.

Sure a great trooper base!
