Hasbro appreciation thread.

Are there any other vendors besides Entertainment Earth and BBTS that sell figures by the case?

It doesn't look like BBTS is going to be able to fill my preorder for the wave 4.5 case and I don't know if the figures are still easily available in stores any more.

These are nice, didn't know they existed. They just coming out or did I miss the train and they are long gone?

 

[Darth Waller]

I believe that's just coming out.

Nice. Will be picking up all of them, but that cape on Lando looks dreadful. I'll replace it with the POTJ version. Weequay and Fi-Ek Sirch are the highlights for me.

 

[jedibear]

Yeah, I'm not digging that cape on Lando either...it's mainly the huge strip of fabric that's at the neck...very sloppy.

Weequay looks great (in fact, all of the Jabba denizens of the past few years have been excellent...makes me wonder when/if Sideshow's gonna take a crack at them...I'd love a Weequay)...

The Luke looks pretty good, the Fi-Ek Sirch (Nitko Jedi) looks pretty cool.

All of the cardbacks are looking really sharp too...

One glaring omission in this collection so far...where's Episode One in the "Vintage" style?

They were supposed to be the first wave of 2011, but due to the announcement of TPM hitting theaters again next year, they bumped the wave to the first wave of next year now. Really sucks, I was looking forward to the supposedly new S.A. Darth Maul.

I think wave 4 has just hit USA??
Am looking out for wave 5 now here in Aus.

Wave 5 actually hit just before Wave 4 here in the states.

 

[big guy]

Impressed with both the Fett`s and a few of the others.

 

[Glennfett]

wave 6 looks to be another solid wave

 

[unsung hero]

Weequay is on ebay already.

So what's the deal with 2010 star wars vehicles, I wanted to get a snow speeder to go with my AT-AT I have and was waiting for it to show up locally in Australia but never saw it. Now all the online stores are either sold out or friggin expensive! Is more stock coming out or is that it?

 

[obi_dave_kenobi]

I decided to get the Target exclusive snow speeder with my At At and its nowhere to be found. I hope they are still shipping these out to the stores.

 

[Macross-Junkie]

Sorry guys, but I think the Snowspeeder was a holiday exclusive, just like the vintage action figure multi-packs...

I never did find those. Stupid Target!

 

[niennumb1]

I saw the Snowspeeder 2 days ago at Target. Didn't know it was supposed to be a holiday exclusive.

Also... I am having a hard time appreciating Hasbro right now. The stores have been nothing, but a dryspell of Vintage Collection! Got a few of the ROTJ wave and then haven't seen anything for weeks! plenty of ESB still out though.

C'mon! What is the deal??? I'm really frustrated with this line and ROTJ is my fav of the ones coming out. It shouldn't be that hard finding these things!

Is the ROTJ wave supposed to be hitting hard soon? Plus some of these stores lack a decent amount of pegs to even facilitate the vintage line, yet there's tons for the legacy collection. Grrr!!!!

 

[Badvermin]

Really? My store had a ton and put the multipacks on clearance.

 

[Macross-Junkie]

Really? My store had a ton and put the multipacks on clearance.

As far as I know, My Target, and any of the other Targets within a 50 mile radius never got the multi-packs in. If they did, they apparently didn't get many, and they sold quick.

Hell, Target even had an add for the multi-packs on Black Friday, and I never saw them when I was there... So I either have to speculate that they didn't even get them in, or some scalper scum beat me to them... Sometimes I hate being a collector!
