This is so not cool, where is the next wave?! I am jonesing for the next batch and I have enough Skull Jacks to take over a small african island nation. Tell me about it, every time we got a truck in I used to climb all over the pallets looking for new SW or an old case of MOTU that just made it's way out of the warehouse. Now I just have eyes for that purple stripe and the word Xevoz ;D

I usually find myself getting into a action figure line after a few assortments (late!). Then I would have plenty of catching up to do. At times I wish I had stumbled into Xevoz at the second wave...because they are so freakin cool, and I have so much of the first wave, and I can't wait for the second wave to come out. That way, I wouldn't have gotten hooked until both waves were plentiful. I guess it's just the wait though that is making me feel this way.

[glow=green,2,300]Yes, it's been said April is the arrival date for series 2. I myself don't think they'll start showing up to middle to the end of the month. I always think like this because it keeps me going crazy with anticipation. They won't get to where I live until May in all likelyhood. We always seem to run several weeks behind the big cities.[/glow]

Based on the way the TRU warehouse works I'd put my money on second or third week of April. They just take forever to get new stuff out of the warehouse for some reason Either way I'm very tempted to empty the pegs at my store and return them to another to make sure we get new stuf in

[glow=blue,2,300]Hopefully the line is doing very well by TRU standards. I know it has moved better than a lot of the other stuff on the action figures aisle here in our store but they may expect even more from it since it is an exclusive to TRU at this time. Can you shed any light on that, CJK?[/glow]

Shed any light on how well it's doing or how well TRU expects it to do? As for how well it's doing I would say it's about average. Stink Blasters are actually the hot item right now. We can't keep those on the pegs where as Xevoz seems to linger a bit longer. Really I think it just needs some more advertisement to get the kids interested. It's already worked to a certain extent as I posted before but there definetly needs to be more. As for how well TRU expects the line to do, they're definetly giving it a chance and seem to be expecting a lot. A few days ago we got in 6 cases of the Value Packs so somewhere someone is expecting a lot of interest. Between Wednesday and today we sold around 10 booster packs, a Sledge Trooper and a Hyperfury. Not one of the Value packs disappeared

[glow=blue,2,300]Dang, they should send us some value packs. My TRU isn't even selling any of them or the deluxe figures at all. I sure hope this line doesn't end prematurely.[/glow]

it better not end prematurely... i don't even own any yet! i know it sounds crazy, but i haven't had a chance to run up to TRU lately and the last time i was there, i wasn't too interested. but from what i remember, my TRU had basics and advanced.. maybe the 2packs as well, but don't quote me on that

[glow=purple,2,300]It's too bad you were not interested when TRU had all the buy 1 get 1 free or get a booster free with $20 in Xevoz purchases. Those promotions were awesome![/glow]
