I just got my pre-order message from BigBadToystore. They are apparently in stock and ready to ship!

Ordered Wave 1 Combat Heroes, plus Wave 1.5 Universe Robot Heroes for 42 bucks shipped with the FALL20 code! They all have an expected ship date of 10/27, so I hope they all come at the same time. That'll be a happy, happy day.
The only thing that bugs me is not getting to pick paint apps.
If I get any that are awful, I'll rebuy at Wal-Mart and swap 'em out for nicer ones, then return the crap apps.

I got my BBTS confirmation email today. I am really looking forward to the later part of this week. That way I can get to check these out once they get here.

Geeze 7.99 for 2-Packs, what has the world come to? Yeah I was seriously under impressed with that move...    I put some in my cart just to see if the FALL20 code worked and it was spiffy... $4 a figure for 2 inches of plastic... wow that's sucky |

Basic economics. Remember when Hasbro said prices were going up 20% across the board? Yeah, it happens. After the lead paint scare last year, increased shipping costs and increased cost of raw materials, prices are going up. Plus, I think this is more of a collectors line than SHS, so Hasbro will charge more. Plus, they got burned horribly by Indiana Jones and are trying to avoid that again.

Not enough sell-through?

How did they get burned on Indiana Jones? Not enough sell-through? The 3.75 figure line has not done as well as they hoped and will likely die at the end of the year even though they had plans for 09 waves. Imagine the same holds true for the AH line as well. |
