I am still baffled as to why Hasbro has a street date for these figures. In a recent Q&A, they were asked why there was this long gap between figures, and their answer was that they make a certain number of figures each year, and that they try to get the figures out as fast as they can, and that is why some waves seem to come out practically on top of each other (e.g., Fall, 2009). And once they have shipped all of that year's figures, there may be a gap before the next year's figures are ready to go.
But here is a case in which they are purposefully not putting the figures out as fast as they can, leaving retailers with dwindling stock and few sales. And there is a legion of collectors waiting to get their hands on this stuff, with itchy wallets in their pockets. Why would Hasbro refrain from sending these to retail as soon as possible??

"DO NOT OPEN before August 6th"
Eerily looks like the EU case sticker.

Most likely he is talking about the UK TRU and not the US, several folks from there have been reporting their finds, the Vintage line is already flowing there.
Exactly. Check out his other posts. He's in the UK.AaylaSecurasMan said:nagauthier said:chewie1 said:saw thm in toys r us today looked amazing picked up dengar and boba now i relly wan cloud ca and piolit plus snowspeeder

Sure it doesnt hurt.
But what does, is calling someone BS when it most likely isnt.

Don’t want to jim-in here, but in all honesty he kind of did have reason. The guy who posted is relatively new, hasn’t posted much, didn’t offer a location of find, and had an oddly worded post (no offense to the guy or anything). Given that there aren’t many reports of finds, and people are eagerly awaiting the first reports from the first people to find these figures, then there is definitely the opportunity for someone to ‘fool’ some people around here. So he had good reason to question the guy’s legitimacy. Obviously the guy was telling the truth, however questioning the find with no evidence, or location was certainly justified. But anyway carry on...![]()
