Got mine from AE about a weeks ago. I trust you at least have an update if not the figure itself by now…

I haven’t received mine either ( deluxe) . Not a peep
they tell me they go out in order and mine will be one of the last as ordered April of 22 and they are getting small batches . I didn’t think they sold out until the beginning of this year but If that’s any help if ur still waiting if you haven’t received it yet from AE.

I got my deluxe from Timewalker last week, everything was fine but I made sure to use heat on the elbows to get them working.
I'm glad I decided to pull the sleeves off to inspect the arms, as one of my lower arms was twisted and I probably would have snapped it if I kept trying to force the elbow joint the way I was.
Hmm, nothing yet. I ordered the regular

My local guy here in Toronto area Canada tells me they won't have it for another two weeks. Really frustrating as it seems i get my stuff now 1-2 full months after Sideshow direct customers get their stuff.....local dealers used to get their stock right away.
I just hate ordering direct from Sideshow as I pay neraly an extra $100-$130 in extra for shipping and border duties/fees....on top of the price of the figure.

It's the same here in Europe.
I just got notification that my Chrome Mando should be in stock in two weeks. No word on Ahsoka yet, or even Mando Luke, who I have ordered with a different seller.
I could order directly from Hong Kong or Sideshow, but shipping and importduties make the figures about € 100 to € 150 more expensive than buying locally and that's not worth it for me. So I have to have patience...

Mine just shipped from Hong Kong too. Seems the final production batch is now done, so everyone is finally getting theirs.
Amazing how long after initial release production batches are these days ! Crazy !

Not a chance. And boy, did they ever overdo it on the little piece of brown leather on the figure’s neck.
Not sure if her arms can do this don't want to change my pose to try
Get yours? Mine arrived on Wednesday from AE, pretty great figure.

Yessir! I think I had mine for at least a week prior to your original post about not having heard anything on her from AE as of that time.
She's really awesome! I'll take the single jointed arms in exchange for all the musculature detail in the silicone body, etc. It's pretty easy to get Ahsoka in a natural and believable fighting stance with straight arms on her sabers.

You're a Wizard, DJ! I'm convinced of it! No one else could just casually announce that they installed LEDs in a non-LED saber set!
I'll be changing my delivery address at Sideshow to yours so that you can perform all the DJ magic on mine prior to me getting them home...
Seems like a reasonable model to me.
Howdy. Great work on the lightsaber mods!
I am working on the same thing for Ahsoka and have a few questions if you don’t mind. Did you split the hilts open (down the mold seam to place and hide the LED or just place the LED in from the top?
Also, I plan on using very small gauge wire to the LED. Considering drilling tiny holes in the saber sides for the wires to pass through and then hide them under the clothes to the power source. Do you mind telling me how you hid the wires? I can’t see them at all, and you do seem to be able to pose the sabers in any direction.
Hope you don’t mind me picking your brains on this. Thanks.
No I just drilled partway down the hilt and into the side, inserted the SMD and had the wire coming out the side. For wire I just use thin 30 guage wrapping wire which goes up her arm. Here's a couple pics which kinda show that.
You'll also need to sand the white paint off the blades so the light will feed through a bit better.
And these are the smds I used
