Hasbro 6" Black Series Star Wars line

[chewblacca]

Boba's gone now, but if you get the rest of wave 2, or wave 1 use code SAVE25.

Just bought the complete series 2 at hasbrotoyshop.com. Got free shipping and 25 percent off. Got all 4 for $63.00!

Thanks for the heads up! I just scored all 4 as well for $64. Thank you!

Damnit i missed it again
Edit... Those were supposed to be all caps, because I'm annoyed!

I got an e-mail from Diamond stating that they were canceling all there orders for 6" Black as it had been massively allocated.

This is probably just Diamond in the UK luckily i got stock coming in from a different supplier. Hasbro UK are terrrible to deal with we get hardly any choice over here and lots of lines we can't get.

I'm not happy about series 3 Black 6" price increase though,Hasbro are raising the price on all next years Star Wars figures.The real kicker is that Han who is in wave 2 will be in wave 3 but will cost more.

You'll have to help me. What does "massively allocated" mean? Are you a retailer?

Yes mate i am, stores are not getting there full orders of 6" black series 2 from Hasbro UK. Hasbro UK realy only care about Toys R Us in the UK.

Diamond UK are a Hasbro sub-distributor to comic book and specialty stores so they are getting even less, which is why they have canceled all of there preorders.

I can't believe they're putting the price up. I passed despite intial interest because of the price point. No way I would pay 25 quid for one. Hell! Sideshow Luke was only 29 quid when I started

A really nice Black Series 6" Sandrooper as present from a good friend - I weathered it a bit more, and painted the white joints black as they should have been:

Now just to get the Black Series Stormtrooper

That's really strange, the only place I've seen these are Forbidden Planet. I even checked Toys R Us before buying Luke at FP since in my experience, FP tends to be a few pounds more expensive than other stores. But there's nothing from the Black Series at the Toys R Us near me, in Southampton.

Amazon have Sandtroopers for $10 and Greedo for $12.

I managed to grab a 6" Luke X-Wing a couple of months back from Liverpool TRU. There was one Luke and one R2 left. I firmly believe the staff snatch all the good stuff up and bang them on Ebay before they even touch the shelves.

You're welcome. I had 2 and ordered another 2. Too good to pass up at that price.

 

[steveo]

WOW - and Luke is $8.99 w/free shipping at Amazon.

I worked at a Toys R Us in the US for a few months, and maybe it's different here, but the employees there couldn't tell their asses from their faces, let alone what figures are considered "good".

Apologies if this has already been posted, but has anyone seen this article? At the bottom, they talk about how future figures for the line may have been leaked. https://www.collector-actionfigures...ck-series-6-inch-rumors-and-official-reveals/

The article claims the next several figures will be:

SW 6″ EP 4 CHEWBACCA
SW 6″ TIE PILOT
SW 6″ EP 5 C-3P0
SW 6″ EP II CLONE TROOPER
SW 6″ EP 5 DARTH VADER
SW 6″ EP 6 LUKE JEDI
SW 6″ JAWAS
SW 6″ SANDTROOPERS (Multiple Listings)
SW BLACK SERIES 6INCH DELUXE AST (?)
SW BLACK SERIES 6INCH JABBA THE HUTT
SW BLACK SERIES 6INCH SPEEDER BIKE

I realize the article was posted a month ago, but I browsed this thread for a bit and didn't see it posted here.

I don't understand why Hasbro keeps having these stupid case ratios… why don't they just put enough of each figure on each box?
I went to Target and there's no sign of Fett, yet plenty of Greedos, Leias and Even Han… What's the problem with everyone that wants one can get one?

This strategy is going to kill the line, since stores are starting to sell the other figures for half the price or even less…

 

[kirklondon]

There's only 4 figs per case. What other ratio can they put out 4 new figs? Now repacking Han over Boba for the next wave = dumb.

 

[Matt S]

Yeah, Hasbro needs to get their distribution figured out, cause I see a lot of wave 1 still, and zero wave 2. If they finally blow out wave 1, yet have a million wave 2 hans, no way Wave 3 is gonna hit in many areas
