[glow=blue,2,300]I think your best bet is to pre-order Storm Wing from EE, that way when they get more in stock you'll know for sure you're getting one.[/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]Ice, that's your opinion. I'll be very happy to have my figures in hand in a week or so. If you want to wait until they show up at retail in a few weeks or months from now then great for you. I enjoy having the waves in hand and early. It's well worth a few extras bucks initially for me from the pleasure it gives playing with these awesome toys. In the long haul I'll probably save money on all the gas and wasted time trying to track down all these toys buy buying them this way.

Re: Secter's experience with SW at Entertainment Earth - the exact same thing just happened to me when I tried to order the HD/RS 2-pack, only way more quickly. Sometime between placing the item in my cart and confirming the order (with no pauses inbetween) the status changed from "in stock" to "out of stock - arriving soon".
Interesting.
Not a big deal, though, as they claim that orders can be cancelled up until the point that they actually ship. Just wish I had some vague idea what "arriving soon" meant - a day? a week? three months?

[glow=red,2,300]Storm Wing IS one per case. They probably only found a few extras. [/glow] [glow=black,2,300] Man, this is EXACTLY one of the reasons I stopped collecting Star Wars figures from Hasbro. They would short pack a specific figure (always seemed to be the one everyone was after, how convenient?) then collectors would buy all of em en mass and you would never find the figure again... except on Ebay or the ocassional internet store where the price was jacked up through the ceiling. That was one of the things that I loved so much when I first started getting Xevoz, I could find all of wave 1 pretty much anywhere, and there were numerous places with wave 2 figures. Now I hope that Storm Wing is more plentiful in upcoming shipments, otherwise this could really kill the line for me and others possibly.
I decided to go ahead and place an order for storm wing at EE like whahappen suggested, that way I can get them if they do come in. I hope they just recieve more shipments soon though.
As for wave 4 being released now, I hope this is like wave 3, and they are just releasing one set for now and the rest in a few months. I am just recovering from the rest of my wave 3 purchases and don't want to buy all of wave 4. Not to mention wave 3 has not even been out a week and we have no info on wave 5 other then three possible names. I don't wanna see these waves being released on top of each other. To me, I would rather wait a few months for wave 4, it builds up the anticipation  [/glow] |

impaiten...obsessed, neither one is healthy Please hold off on your condemning other people's collecting habits. This is starting to wear very thin and seems like it borders on an unhealthy obsession. Secter - I'm almost positive Storm Wing will see higher numbers in refresher cases. He was just caught in the numbers in the initial wave 3 release because Hasbro wanted to refresh wave two at the same time they released the new stuff. Quitting because he's a little more of a chase right now would be something I think you and any other person who decided to drop collecting would regret later. As far as wave 4 coming out sooner than Oct., well I'm cool with that if it happens. It's a bit of a bash on the wallet, but look at it this way. I might also usher in the appearence of Attacknid in time for Christmas stocking stuffers. ~SS~ |

Im sorry SS. The reason as to my rude behavior is I am unable to order any of Wave 3 for I am leaving next week for vacation and choose not to take the risk of my Xevoz being stolen from my porch while I am not home.

[glow=red,2,300]I can understand that then, Ice. Please next time, talk to us about those kinds of issues instead of labeling people who buy online when toys debut as stupid and impatient, okay?

I feel like such a 10-year old for doing that.  |

Good Stuff to Go still has Preda Crawler/Cryo Katana in stock. I just ordered one from them. Too bad they didn't have any other Wave 3 stuff.  |

Make that "they DON'T have the CK/PC in stock." I got an email from GSTG.net yesterday saying, "Oops! We don't have it!"  |
