Re: Star Wars Black Series discussion
I called every store in the area and none had any stock. Interesting that employees are getting them...

Re: Star Wars Black Series discussion
Yeah I'm done with exclusives regardless of how this turns out. Chasing these things isn't worth it and clearly preorders don't mean a damn when they can fill store orders but not people who preordered a month ago. I get that the shipment was damaged but this is just dumb.

Where did you hear the shipment was damaged?

Re: Star Wars Black Series discussion
I'm not even upset at this point about how this has played out...you just gotta laugh at the whole thing and feel sad knowing how much nerd rage TRU is getting right now...it's probably pretty bad

If that is the case, I'm worried about Echo being cancelled now.

Re: Star Wars Black Series discussion
They could avoid some of the nerd rage if they were more transparent when issues like this happen, instead of letting rumours swirl in message groups, and sending cancellation emails that offer no explanations.
TRU still hasn't figured out that a sizeable number of their customers are neurotic middle-aged dudes with nothing better to do with their time.

Re: Star Wars Black Series discussion
Some reported Anakin cancelled, Some reported Hawk Cancelled, Some reported Obi Wan Cancelled, not one Echo yet. I'm worried it will be soon. Echo was basically my most wanted, I hate to see it get cancelled.

Re: Star Wars Black Series discussion
Like I said earlier communication is key. I'm not raging, but I am disappointed in the whole situation and toward Hasbro themselves. They keep making these Clone Wars figures exclusive chases, yet they'll reissue a bunch of Rogue One figures at regular retail that peg warmed last time around and you can still buy for $5 at some stores. It's just a sick joke at this point.
