Crypt Curse, Tomb Wraith, Storm Wing & wv 3 soon..

...to be found at THE IMAGINATION STATION!

Good News! James from The Imagination Station said they have been cleared from Hasbro to buy a large number of wave 3 and wave 2 items in the near future! They will sell ALL of them for very close MSRP (yes, this includes rares like Storm Wing, Crypt Curse, and Tomb Wraith)!

So people here really don't have to pay 5 or 6 times the actual retail price from scalpers disguised as online at toy stores selling their wave 3 rares direct via ebay instead of making them available at a descent price in their stores. Y'know those unscruplous dealers who claim they just found 2 or 3 rares in the back from cancelled orders, but they never seem to run out of stock for Ebay auctions?

James is a great guy to deal with. He offers the absolute best in customer service and cares about the shape of our corner of the action figure hobby because he's also a fan of xevoz himself. He's not out to make a quick buck by bleeding Xevoz fans of all their cash and won't charge $6.40 for shipping a single booster. I other words, the shipping is what they pay so you don't get robbed yet again.

The toll free number to TIS is 1 (888) 305 - 2301 ask for James. He will do anything he can to help and is a fan himself. I have done 4 or 5 multiple figure orders with them and have never been dissappointed or had my wallet drained.

If you have already grossly overpaid for these toys via scalpers and inflated bidding on ebay then all I can say is patience is a virtue. Learn from your mistakes and don't be so foolish with your money in the future.

This is great news indeed! I was considering going for broke and just forking over the extra cash for CC and TW on ebay (tax refund present to myself) but this is much better. I'm glad I gave James my info for the Wave 3 figs. Did he mention how long this would take?

Between this and Secter's upcoming news things here are looking pretty good for Xevoz fans!

[Squishee Slinger]

Good for you! I'm glad you didn't overspend on ebay like a lot of people are doing these days. James told us they were going to order a lot of wave 3 and 2 yesterday so I assuming it will be paid for by TIS soon and then Hasbro will then fill and ship the order. I'm not sure how long it will take to come in. Imagine 4-6 weeks would seem to be reasonable amount of time. Of course, TISJames will keep us updated in the toy forum. It's certainly better than paying $60 for a storm wing & tomb wraith combo on some scalper site or on Epay.

Hopefully TIS will be able to get in wave 3 this time, and Hasbro won't send him wave 2 just so they can unload it all. It sounds like James will, but you never know with Hasbro.[/b]

[Squishee Slinger]

Well it sounds like their sales rep have made them assurances that they will get the exact figures they order this time with specific product codes for each wave. Seems like some people may have spent a little time putting a bug in their ear about the product switcheroos and they have changed their approach. So I think it's better to wait and see rather than than pay $30-$36 plus $6.40 shipping off ebay.

[Secter]

Yup, just saying it could happen. I too doubt it will considering what we have heard, but ya never know with ol Hasbro.[/b]

[Squishee Slinger]

Yeah, they could pull the old flim flam on TIS again, but I'm going to have some faith and believe they are dealing straight up this time since they have actually implemented a new coded ordering system for these toys. I'm pretty sure others have recently gotten new releases from Hasbro of wave 3 too. That is unless a couple of tomb wraiths and storm wings in a box can now multiply as quickly as a pair of horny rabbits.

[Heyyou]

He PM'ed me too, with the news! Excellent!

Edit:
Just placed my order. I also asked about Wave 4, still no definitive plans, however, james said if Hasbro does release the figs, they have a large quantity ordered, so there may be enough for everyone.

Lets hear it for James! I really appreciate the fact he is willing to join us here and keep us informed and well stocked with figs.

[coldbirth]

Is this still happening?

Also, does James ship to Canada?

[Quiller-Bee]

Unfortunately, no.

[coldbirth]

That sucks.

[Grayfox]

Not sure who your reply was meant to Quiller, but TIS do ship to Canada. At least James told so when I pre-ordered wave 4 back in October.

On a side note, where in Canada are you Colbirth?

[Quiller-Bee]

Whoops, I guess I coulda been a little clearer. What I meant was that TIS won't be getting any more Wave 3 after all.

[triskela]

Great news! Many thanks for the heads up.

With a few spares of some sets I just might get into modding some of these things. I couldn't do it with what I had access to as is, but with extras on the way I will be able to spare some parts for modding. But I 'll wait to have the spare sets in hand first I think - I'm careful that way.
