Re: Star Wars Black Series discussion
It took me a while to decide if I wanted to collect this line when it first started up. Once I hopped on board, I was able to still track down all of wave 1 & 2 and the Jabba/Speeder deluxes at local Walmarts, with a couple grabbed for cheap on Amazon as well. By then I was caught up again and went back to the pre-order case route for the rest of the orange phase and all of the blue phase. With skipping a couple bad case assortments, and a little swap help from my supplier, I was able to get all releases with only 1 unwanted double. Hasbro has done a mostly good job with case assortments in this scale so far (to my complete amazement). If only they could solve their blasted distribution issues.
I am not sure how much I will be able to rely on case pre-orders going forward however. I made a pledge to myself to not collect anything from the Sequels. If they start releasing mixed waves of PT/OT along with ST characters, I will probably have to try my luck at mass retail, or possibly overpriced single pre-orders. Best case would be to team up with a collector who only wants ST figures though!
