Stop shipping The Saga Collection

[General_Grievous]

Enough is enough, Hasbro. At every store I go to, I constantly see pegs full of Saga Collection figures where 30th Anniversary figures should be. And they're replenished with more Saga Collection figures each time I go in there. We're halfway into 2007. The Saga Collection line was supposed to have ended on January 1st. I know that you kept shipping out cases over the next few months not only because 30th Wave 1 was delayed, but also so fans could catch up on figures they missed in 2006. That was very kind of you, but you can stop shipping them now. Everyone's caught up. We're all waiting for more 30th Anniversary Collection figures that aren't being put out because the figures from last year are still on the pegs. This is a reason why many of us have not seen the 30th Anniversary Collection on pegs very often. If you can distribute the new cases instead of the old Saga Collection cases, I have a feeling this problem would diminish.

bad news, GG. the DCPI's and SKU's for Saga Legends are the same as those for TSC. they may stop shipping TSC soon but the pegs for those will be replaced by Saga Legends.

Saga Legends are the 30th Anniversary versions of the "Heroes and Villains"/"Greatest Hits", right? That won't be so bad, as there are some figures in that line I may pick up.

yes. you probably want all the army builders, right? :D

[Kidhuman]

About all people want are the army builders, hell I can still get you shocktroopers from last years line

I agree!!! The TAC waves aren't hitting the stores very well 'cos all there is on the pegs are SAGA!!!! Someone on another site told me to stop complaining about this. Why should I? We're almost 6 months into the new year and we've barely got the first two waves in any sort of respectable distribution!! WTF???!!!

[General_Grievous]

Nah, I just want a few like the repainted Death Star Droid, Naboo Soldier, and the new Rodian.

Oh I think I just figured it out... Seriously.

Since many places that celebrate Anniversarys take the whole year to do it, Hasbro will take until May of next year to push out all of the TAC figs. Thereby stretching out the line. After that if we are lucky is when we'll see the Force Unleashed and TV show lines.

Serious, we're only up to wave 3 in some areas and onnly wv 2 in most others. It's June in two days. Hasbro literally has 11 months to put out the rest of TAC. So its will be a wave a month from here on. One month may be TAC while another is Legends.

If this turns out being the case, I'll actually be grateful for it. I sure as heck don't want them cramming in several waves at the end of the year. That would spell disaster for many of us. Not enough money around the holidays as well as the fear of the "last few waves" being scarce.


So if Hasbro comes out and says this is the plan, are you cool with it? I am.

No, because I want them to put out as many figures as possible before the line ends.

I'd rather have dreams of 2008 being a year of Yarna, the Lars family, cantina aliens, denziens of Jabba's Palace than still looking for the stuff we know was supposed to be out THIS YEAR.

At CIV they said they hope to have the rest of the 30th Anniversary line out by December.

They do that, and they pretty much ensure that it is the last year. They know how much to saturate, how much loss on peg warmers (or projected) they can take.

Then they should stop shipping Vaders.

(zing!)
