Topic: Black 3 and 3/4" Wave I

[dax415]

Walmart and Target are only putting out one, maybe two full pegs of these figures.....the other pegs are all the crappy figures.  Is it like that else where?

I've only seen the craptastic, but they have plenty of space with one peg for the black series.

Picked up Black Series #05 Yavin Ceremony Luke Skywalker. Despite the lack of ankle articulation he is a great figure. They did use the same exact parts/mold for the arms, jacket, and legs. The torso, hands, and head are new. And the holster and blaster are new as well. One more thing the medal around his neck is new or different than the previous one also. The seller for this figure to me is the head sculpt. It appears to be totally new. I think it would look good on any ESB Luke figure.

Been noticing the padme figures are the first to go....everything else is easy to come by in this wave.

Still nothing here, pegs labeled for them but nothing on them.

i had heard about the problems with bubble seperation with this wave but found a terrible scene full of crushed bubbles at my closest walmart last week   The entire display of black series 3 3/4 figures was crushed in some form or another but Padme here was the worst for wear. I had to take a shot. Do you think these will fly off the shelves like this, or go on clearance if, that is, they can make it to the clearance isle without falling off the card.

Wow, that is awful. Maybe I am glad vintage went on hiatus for a bit as seeing vintage cards like this would make me blow a gasket. Thanks for the image Clint.

Saw one lonely TBS Anakin on the pegs today at Wal-Mart.

The card was in great shape though, no bubble droopage.

Kinda wish I had gotten it now.

Strangely enough the main store at the base I live on in Okinawa actually had wave one of the 3.75 as well as the other "kid" line and, while it doesn't really matter (because of where I am), to echo Zedhatch there is very little peg space going to the 3.75 black series but quite a bit going to the "kid friendly" line. No 6 inch figures here and while I haven't seen any damaged packaging I have noticed the glue issue both with the ones I got for myself as well as one of the ones I picked up for my son...not sure what that's all about but it does seem pretty common.

While I was on my six inch hunt today I tried tracking down a few figures for some buds and saw some horrible cards and bubbles. They were literally just falling off the cards. I saw at toysrus that they were either taping them on with scotch tape or even using a stapler. I sure hope Hasbro addresses this for wave two!

Finally spotted the 3 3/4 black series here in Japan, at Kyoto Camera's hobby section! Pricey at about $18 a pop, but I had to get a biker scout!

Pretty cool seeing your pegs Laojax. I like the model sets there in the upper left too. Too bad they put the price stickers on the bubbles! Hopefully the bubbles stay on the cards better than they have been here in the states!
