I don't think they have ever sold Xevoz in the UK.

This started out really happy and every one was having a good time, and then it became a vast black hole of dread, doom, and hostess snack cakes.

There's been so much activity on this board today that I'm having trouble keeping up. Yeah, you should probably quit your day job, especially when someone drops a rumor like that...

Is Karl Rove working for Hasbro now?
"We'll fake it's death. That will generate huge clearences and giant buzz about Xevoz. Then, when everyone think's there's no saving the line, we yank it out of the jaws of oblivion! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"

YOu guys officially suck.
I was DONE with Xevoz. I got the two TS/SP sets from gurzil in the mail today and now they say there will be more. I think I'm STILL done with them. Unless I SEE more wave in stores, I'm not buying anymore.
Of course, knowing my luck, Waves 4,5, and 6 will start showing up at the Target down the street again.

I wouldn't bet on it. I'm not sure any major retailer is willing to jump on these toys so quickly again. Just a month ago I bought near $500 worth of these toys for a benjy. Target took most of that right on the chin.

Hi again everyone. I forgot to put in my post that I DID mention toy fair and *as far as he knew* he said that xevoz should be at toy fair. I made it a point to ask him about this, and he did tell me that any news on future waves would be revealed at toy fair. Now, I know a lot of you out there are still feeling very paranoid about this info, don't worry-I am too- mostly because I dunno if hasbro's late shipments have caused many retailers to not order any more waves, thus making it harder to get the line out. The best thing to do in that case is to tell retailers what you want. On the other hand, a lot of collectors buy multiples of figures and they sell easily. (Being that they are the perfect army builder and customizable creation) In fact, since I found wave 3 in wal-mart a coule of months ago, the only place I know that hasn't sold out completely is Geoffrey (The TRU multi-department store) which keeps restocking wave 1 only. We know that these are selling pretty well, especially when you take into account the poor advertising (or should I say lack of advertising) that these have (not) received. Perhaps that is also why retailers haven't ordered them, especially with all the big media-connected toys coming out this year (Star Wars, Batman, Fantastic Four, Harry Potter, etc., etc. etc.) And as much as I love these properties, I would much rather have a RS vs FD, HG, FP, IT, and a Mech Shell than the whole collection of action figures from any one of these liscenses. And that, I think is the best thing about Xevoz. There are no limits, no boundaries to what you can do, create, and imagine with these things. I mean, with a darth vader figure, it's always gonna be darth vader, but with just one xevoz figure you can make any character you please, and with more figures, you can make more diverse and different characters. This is why they sit at the top of my collection, sitting in front of my window, where the sun can shine down on them (which looks really cool on the translucent figs). But alas, I'm rambling again. I guess the point is this: We've finally got a little bit of good news, so keep your chins up. But we won't know anyhting for sure until toyfair. So get some sleep, do whatever, and we'll all just have to wait patiently until the weekend with our fingers crossed.

Cool, I'm still not thinking this is likely but I am at least a little more interested in seeing what is going on at toy fair this year. Good or bad at least we'll be tuned in. Thanks AL!

Hmm....I'm less skeptical...this would be great...but I'm still fat and happy knowing I'll have at least 1 wave 4 set soon.

Ok, first off GG doesn't work for Hasbro. Here are two things to remember about Toy Fair First off Hasbro told us that they will not be showing the entire product line, just highlights. So there may be no Xevoz there, and then a miniscule chance they come back, but their appearance or lack there of at Toy Fair is not an indication in itself. Secondly, I can't tell you how many cool things I've seen at Toy Fair that never make it. So even if there was Xevoz at Toy Fair, that too is not an in-stone indication they'll be sold in stores. We will talk with a rep and get whatever news we can. We'll take whatever pics we can, and go from there. Mr. Stinkhead
