Where are all of the A-Wings?

[Darkross]

I have scoured this Wal-Mart and that Wal-Mart...and even that Wal-Mart...and I can't find them anywhere. Are they out or did I miss them altogether? I got a BMF Falcon (seeing them everywhere), the B-Wing and some figs...however no A-Wings at all in sight. I thought they were coming out on July 26th? Nope...at least not at any of the Wal-Marts I've been to...in 5 different cities.

Also...does anyone have the UPC code or DPCI # on this item? I have the SKU...however I was told by a Wal-Mart employee that the UPC or DPCI # would be more useful, since they can't search on SKU#. What the ? I have always relied on SKU# in the past...so why not now?

They got delayed till November or something like that.

Yeah, that's what I heard too (that the A-wing was delayed).

I was ticked off when I saw it appear on E-bay a few weeks ago, not once, but twice by two different sellers listed as 'in hand to ship' or something like that.

My thought was "WTF?"

[Blue2th]

They were probably sellers from Hog Kong or China.

TRU in the UK had them 26th July, but they were all gone last time I was there.

Yeah I was after the A-Wing Pilot and someone was going to sell me it until, he went and tried to get an A-Wing, he was told by someone Nov release date, at the earliest - now saying that Hasbro could release it next week - there scheduling is all shot this year.

Even though it was close to 1 AM, the instant I read this I jumped in my car and drove 10 miles to the nearest Super Wal-Mart to see if they were stocking these. No luck of course, but that just goes to show how much I'm looking forward to this new A-Wing.

Some will say, "It's just another A-Wing, what's the big deal?" But it's not just another A-Wing release. It's the first truly film accurate paint job for the vehicle and, most importantly, it's the very first time that we are getting a proper Arvel Crynyd figure with the correct A-Wing Pilot helmet.

For someone who's been a fan of Green Leader from my very first viewing of ROTJ in the 80s, this is a very big deal. Yes, even bigger than the BMF Falcon and the AT-TE in my mind.

I know what you mean BigB. I've been collecting since about 1986 (just before the ROTJ stuff disappeared) and for one reason or another I never got my hands on an A-Wing. It's the only on screen fighter vehcile from the OT that I'm missing and the fact that it comes with our second film accurate A-Wing pilot (first with the propper helmet!) makes it just that much more of a plus.

I too am looking forward to getting the new A-Wing and pilot. I have the original POTF A-Wing from '97 and the repaint EU A-Wing as well. at one point i had the original Droids line A-Wing with Pilot in mint condition but it got lost along with most of my Kenner stuff when i was growing up.
