I am deeply upset.
For a split second I considered actually getting three copies but even then I wouldn't be guaranteed to get them all.
I also want both of those themes as well. Why they gotta do this to me?
Those stands are the cutest freaking thing like??? Wtf, okay, so yeah now I am jumping on the disappointed in the pin train. Though these could be available in some other way to us...maybe. Hopefully.
I'm envisioning these coming over as pre-order bonuses and me not getting the Aqua one. o_o
DO YOU KNOW HOW MY HEART WOULD BE CRUSHED?!
Damn, Japan is always getting all the good stuff, man. Hopefully there's a bigger collector's edition for 2.8 at some point in the future, so we can maybe have some cooler stuff like this included. Hoping we get a repeat of the 2.5 scenario where there's the free pin version and then the more expensive collector's edition.

Gosh, these looks so nice. I hope we might get them someday too.
I like how diverse Nomura can be with his art. Capable of doing really sharp and detailed works, and the other hand these more cute, simpler ones.
I wonder what song they'll choose to go along with that theme. Also its nice to hear that a digital version of the game will be available
why is this japan only, seriously i want to cry right now and i am not kidding. i want the theme. :C
Anybody know what that symbol is on the silver PS4 pic thats second from the right?

It's Guilt from the games Chi/Unchained!
That BBS acrylic...
That's King Mickey in his iconic Kingdom Key D pose from the end of KH1. That never happened in BBS.
I see you, Nomura
No Foreteller/Chirithy stand, I am disappoint.

It didn't happen in BBS, but it might happen in 0.2!

I adore both DDD ones but I feel the same. There should have definitely been one to rep Back Cover.
Sorry, but I need all the stands. Please make them available in Europe. Thanks.
:c
EDIT: This actually makes me upset over the pin. We got this while Japan got that.
Thank youu
In regards to having just the pin, there's still a chance they'll add more. Japan started with just the keychain for the limited edition. Now there's preorder bonuses. Translation, "don't complain until we know for sure". But anyway, I like the stands. Really like the silver theme
.... Why can't we have Aqua Q_Q
I want all the things. Not getting the sweet black theme with a physical preorder would be semi-depressing though.
Seems pretty unanimous that this is a better preorder bonus than the pin.

Ah, Thank you for clearing that up for me :biggrin:
They look awesome! I would think it'd be easy share the PS4 theme with everyone, but whatever. Here's to hoping on that. Anyway, I'd love to have some posters for those acrylic images. Hard to choose which artwork I like best. It's a tie between Aqua and Sora sleeping.

Actually, the Disney pin has a lot of value to it. It's considered a collectors item for Disneyland. The fact that Kingdom Hearts is associated with it is an honour in its own right.
Hopefully, this isn't Japan exclusive. We may get this as part of the Deluxe or Collector's edition of 2.8.

i never said it hasn't got any value to it. I just don't collect any of them, so now I am disappointed with what Japan's preorder is and what ours is
it okay i guess i mean the stand is cool but not impress enought me to get jealous
Fair enough
I'm starting to feel like Sora strolling into or away from The Mysterious Tower is going to be the ending to 0.2, or something.
Or a secret ending.
Anyway, these are all really awesome and I need one. Give me the TVA one, please. -throws money at screen, in a hopeless dream-
I kind of wish that there was a Chi one, though--but I feel like Square probably realizes that the average KH fan couldn't care less about that story, unfortunately. But I needs me some Ava, even if on one else does.
But that's just a minor nitpick. I'm actually really blown away by these, actually!:D
ALSO, I'M JUST SO FREAKIN' GLAD THAT SQUARE ENIX JUST DID BBS MERCH (even if it does end up being just for Japan), AND OF AQUA!!!!! Maybe they're finally listening to us about this, after these six long years since BbS' release. LOL.
Look, I love me some Kingdom Hearts pins and I do very much want the one included in the limited edition, but good lord I NEED those acrylic figures and themes! I really hope Square does some kind of collectors edition for us on the western side of the pond. I would even be willing to double dip and get both the Japanese and American editions just so I could get everything lol! (okay, like, maybe not seeing that is a ton of money and I have to save up for other things and what not but its still VERY tempting)

^ The last time we saw Sora in a new game, he was in his KH2 clothes
Filed under more nice things all non-Japan countries won't get.
And 1 of 3 would not be sufficient anyways. ;A;

that what i mean but why is stand differnt then hmmm?
Because it's just representing Dream Drop Distance.
I need all of those but even if I preordered three japanese versions I couldn't even be certain of getting all of them (not that I'd get three japanese versions BUT STILL).
AHHHHHHHHH

I'd advise you to keep a close eye on ebay (and similar sites) because coming across these items can happen even if only in limited amounts. I've seen weirder things exchanging owners there. :D

Everyone loves Ava, everyone loves the cinnamon rolls. Am I the only one that wants Ephemera to mistake Kairi for Ava? Amusing the Dandelion Trio meets with everyone else?

That should totally happen.

As a Disney pin collector who has all of the current KH Disney pins, even I'll admit I prefer those acrylic stands over the pin we are getting. I love pins, but this particular pin just looks poor quality, especially when compared to what KH pins are out there.
That being said, once I see how these stands look in real life, I'll wait with baited breath on eBay. Given these will be mass produced initially, I'll bet buying 1 on eBay will be cheaper than importing another game in hopes of getting 0.2, since, that's the only one that really matters.
The Kairi Ava mistaking thing is another reason I don't want the rebirth theory to be true. We already have enough possibilities for such situations.
And yeah I guess ebay is an option to get all of those but who would actually sell them >:

Casual fans who have no real attachment to these stands. I mean, if you have no real use for them, can make money off of them, and give them to a home of someone who will really treasure them, I don't see a downside. :)

Good luck with that, in Japan Yahoo Auctions is still where all this private stuff is sold, ebay never really took off there, and this platform is not very International-friendly to say the least.

I will probably be searching eBay for them myself when the game releases, but I think we will get much better results on Yahoo Japan Auctions for sure. Sellers on eBay tend to triple the price to take advantage of western fans and there isn't as much stock. YJA doesn't ship worldwide, but the prices are much better on there and you can use a forwarding service like Samurai Buyer to get the items you want.

Thanks, I'll definitely look into Yahoo Auctions as well, but I've had no problems with eBay thus far amassing my KH collection.
