Re: Last Vintage Collection Wave of 2012 Online Only

BBTS has sold out and "restocked" a couple of times. I got my order in early through them.

The figures are also available for individual preorder at the moment from Amazon.com at around $12.99 so there's some limited opportunity to army-build if that interests people.

Does this mean Hasbro will no longer continuing the vintage line up to 2013-2014 and longer?

Boo, I was hoping to find Ahsoka and Obi-Wan (CW fatigues) at retail.

I agree. I wasn't expecting this wave to be an online only wave.

Re: Last Vintage Collection Wave of 2012 Online Only

Now how the slag am I supposed to get these? Without them coming to retail we won't see them on sale during the holidays and there's no way I can afford all the ones I want going the online route.

What the hell Hasbro, WTH, we still haven't even seen the Nom Anor cases yet at Retail and now you're letting us know that for some odd reason nobody wants to take a chance on these and stock them?

Hasbro, I don't know why, I don't understand how, but you are slowly running your business into the ground with all these stupid distribution issues.

I don't think any of us were. I really want the Royal Guard and Old Republic Trooper.

Re: Last Vintage Collection Wave of 2012 Online Only

So, then will this be the absolute last vintage wave. No more for 2013 and beyond?

Is the line over or not after this current wave?

Re: Last Vintage Collection Wave of 2012 Online Only

I'm sure we will hear more news this weekend from Celebration 6 on the Vintage lines for 2013 forward.

An assortment becoming an online exclusive might not be a good omen. Thats what happened to the comic packs when they got cancelled.

What part of "last wave" is throwing you? Build a droid is coming back.
