Mir wäre es lieber diese Figuren in einem Laden zu bekommen, da ich kein Heo Pass habe und kein Bock habe über ebay zu kaufen.

Naja - erstmal sind das sehr gute Nachrichten dass diese Figuren hier her kommen. HEO ist ein Großhändler - mein Spielzeugladen in den Schönhauser Arkaden bestellt dort. Dh ich (oder Du oder sonst wer) muss einfach bei seinem örtlichen Spielwarenhändler checken ob die diese Line bestellen können. Ggf kann man ja auch ein komplettes Case bestellen ...
Übrigens: ich finde die Figuren sehen recht gut aus. Bin gespannt ob die voluminöse Box mit ein paar Euro mehr zu Buche schlägt ...

Habe leider hier keinen Spielzeugladen mehr außer Mytoys und Spielemax, die alten Spielzeugläden gibt es hier schon lange nicht mehr

Welche Intention hat Hasbro denn mit dieser Linie? Ist die wirklich für den Sammler gedacht? Wenn ja, stellt sich die Frage warum die erste Wave nur aus Charakteren besteht die, lt. Hasbro selbst, zu den beliebtesten bei Kindern gehören. Sammler brauchen davon nichts. Vor allem nicht den Vader in dieser Form. Wäre es mit dieser Serie nicht angebracht wirklich den Sammlermarkt zu bedienen und obskure Figuren, oder Kostümvarianten zu veröffentlichen? Warum wieder das Aufwärmen von alten Figuren die noch nicht einmal begehrt sind? Ich finde die Entscheidung bislang sehr fragwürdig. Sollte dann tatsächlich noch ein Premium-Preis abgerufen werden darf Hasbro gerne auf seinen Produkten sitzen bleiben.
Ein Grund warum ich garnicht erst in die Versuchung komme, diese EXKLUSIVEN WALMART (nur USA) zu unvernünftigen Preisen zu bestellen
Also wenn Hasbro es schaffen würde, diese BS 3 3/4" hier in Deutschland in die Läden zu bekommen, wäre ich für gut bemalte Figuren bereit bis zu 15€ zu Zahlen aber ich bestelle nicht aus dem Ausland für das doppelte oder dreifache, wenn ich dann eine Wundertüte erwarten darf.
"Tu es oder tu es nicht. Es gibt kein Versuchen,,.
Für Alfred tut es mir wirklich leid mit der Leia: viel Geld ausgegeben und dann sowas, das ist bitter! Zu TAC und Legacy Zeiten konnte man noch guten Gewissens im Internet ordern, da waren die Figuren noch nicht so verpfuscht. Ich habe momentan mit der "kleinen" Black Series sowieso schon ziemlich abgeschlossen: Die TFA Imperialen habe ich mir schon in 6inch zugelegt und deshalb will ich sie in 3 3/4 inch gar nicht mehr.
