Wave 11 already?

J_Man · **Posted:** Fri Oct 31, 2008 12:12 am

KB got in stock today 2 cases of wave 11. I was surprised. It's marked as wave 7 - 08 so I was thinking "wave 7". I figured it would be old figures until I opened the case. I have these on order so I mean I didn't need to get any, but nobody bought any. Even after I kept pointing them out to people I thought would be interested. I figure they'll sell over the weekend, but if they don't something is seriously wrong with people around here or they just are not thinking of KB as a place to check new items.

I have a KayBee up the street and don't check it. The prices are just too high for me when I can guarantee what I want to get by preordering and save a little money too.

And yeah I got the notice from BBTS that my Wave 11 AND 12 are in stock ready to ship. Definitely wasn't expecting them this soon and my wallet is hurting as I have the Farscape con next weekend. Wonder if the bloodbank is open...

BBTS says they have shipped my wave 12, woot!

Yeah, my wave 12 is in, too, but I'm leaving it in the pile o' loot until my wave 11 internet exclusive case shows up. I just paid for a major shipment of comic packs, Wave 10 and more exclusive 7-packs last week.

Waves 11 & 12 hit Asian stores last week. They should be shipping from online stores right about now as well.

the KBs around here have the same pegwarmers as all the other stores at like $3 more per figure.

My wave 11 shipped. Wave 12 looks like a huge pass however. Really nothing too exciting in that one, that I'd want an entire case or set.

Yeah you hit the nail on the head about KB not being a place people look to for new stuff.

And yeah it's overpriced, people probably figure that they can get them cheaper in a week or two. But suddenly Hasbro has been way off on distribution to different chains/stores.

I know I should be paying closer attention, but -- which of these Waves is the Matt Trakker figure in? :-D

He's up for pre-order on HTS.

With KB Tpys price hike, unless they have a Wraith, i won't buy from there to much, SW figs are now $9.99 each, youch ! I do like their sales buy 2 get one free or buy 2 for such and such price, other than that KB's has to do something about the price hike.

Yeah, I got the notice that my wave 11 and 12 were in as well with BBTS. Just in time to receive right after getting wave 6 comic packs, the extreme environment packs, waves 2 and 3 on the vehicles, wave 10 and wave 2 DVD packs. I told my wife and she naturally responded with "More toys!? You should just open your own store." She gives me crap but really she is cool with it. I'm glad because even I think this is crazy. But the problem I can't wait to get them later. I have everything on pre-order because I know half of this stuff is never going to be seen at retail. Wave 1 of DVD and vehicles is filling the shelves. They won't put new stuff out until the old stuff is gone. And the single packs are just insane to collect at retail. Pre-order all the way on those.

Yeah in addition to seeing them show up in store I got the BBTS notice too. So my case is on the way. I assume my wave 12 will be too since it shows to be in stock. I didn't get a notice on those yet.

Thanks, but I'd rather find him in the stores when he comes out if at all possible. I'm picky about paint jobs, which is why I try to avoid mail order whenever possible (not just HTS). I assume he's not in either Wave 11 or 12 as such?

He's in Wave 11 with the Eels.

Wave 11 already?
