12" lotr line on hold

[superdoug]

They just said it's on hold in the chat


at least they didn't say it's dead

who would have thought it would be frodo and sam that stalled the line

 

[pixletwin]

can we see the exact transcript?

I thought the two hobbits were very well done - I'm surprised they didn't sell better myself.

Another thread on this topic. This alone should tell sideshow that there are enough fans who want to finish this line through.

 

[bagelsncheesey]

not really a transcript. all he said was 12" is on hold, PF's and Dios are doing well.

 

[Kuzeh]

"On Hold" means "Not Dead, until those Hobbits and Gandalfs are out the Warehouse"....

 

[Ninersphan]

The ONLY good thing about this news is , It means I'll be spending less money. Sorry SS, but Dio's and PF's are either too expensive or too big for some of us to collect. Until more 1/6 product is relaesed, this line is dead for me.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Don't they always say "on hold" -- like with Bond -- which is SS speak for "Dead"?

 

[creature4000]

in other words.... DEAD.

The ES on the Hobbits was way too high! All there attention is going to go to PF's now. So the 12" line will never continue! bummer!

 

[pixletwin]

We'll see. Maybe this time On Hold really means Oh Hold. If you look its not like they have a ton of back stock. The only open orders are for the hobbits. Everything else is sold out.

That really doesn't fit the MO for a failed line.

 

[Kuzeh]

Maybe Sideshow should start a new line of "Not" zombies called "On Hold"??

 

[creature4000]

Name one line they went back to after moving on???????

 

[Vader AL]

GREAT line and all I'm missing is Gandalf and I'll get him soon....sad day...sad say indeed.

 

[Natrix]

Don't they always say "on hold" -- like with Bond -- which is SS speak for "Dead"?

...or like Buffy...or Angel...or X-Files...

 

[pixletwin]

Name one line they went back to after moving on???????

None. Hence where I said "Maybe this time..."

 

[Wor-Gar]

Name one line they went back to after moving on???????

Exactly.

I think they did the Bond Legacy line after 2 years of nothing. And that was really just a redess on the old figures.

So in a year or two we might see this Gandalf redone as Gandalf the White.

 

[galactiboy]

On Hold... where great lines go to die.

Hard to say if anyone thing was a line killer, figures in general were great. But a few flubs and less interest than other lines is probably the likely causes.

Guess its time to add LOTR to the image

 

[Wor-Gar]

I GOT to get SAMWISE now!

Anything to help clear out the stock.

Maybe after The Hobbit comes out this line will pick back up?
