We are focusing on The Hobbit line now while the movies are active, but do have rights to LOTR, may have a little something in our back pocket for the future  ;)

Can we officially dub the late-2013 line the "Abracadabra Vader" cardback? 

(Abra-abra-cadabra...  he's gonna reach out and grab ya! :P)

i like that.

or

Abra-cadabra... the year Hasbro saw my money disappear!

3.) Is there any chance we will see a return of the comic packs in the near future?  These seem to be selling well in the Marvel Universe line and there are some great new characters to be made from some of the great Dark Horse material and other sources in recent years.


i would be shocked if this happens. it works for MU because they just reuse the same mold all day, everyday.

But hey it works for MO - and I love it!   ;D

Well, The Bridge Direct never got back with me on my email through their page so I found my first email I sent them a long time ago (when we found out about wave 2 getting a "summer" release) - and I emailed that email back with my new set of questions. 

my email to them again was:

Hello, I want to start off and say thank you for the awesome Hobbit line your company has created - I love these toys! With that said I just wanted to see if I could possibly ask you if there is any info you can share on the future of this line. The last collectors heard was that the next wave/series will have a "summer" release, is this still the plan? Also, will you be at Toy Fair in one month and will there be any/all of these figures from the "summer" wave to show off then?

Finally, any update to whether or not you will start giving the figures peg holes on the bottoms of their feet?

Thanks again and keep up the great work!

within minutes they responded:

Hi Justin,
Thank you for contacting us here at the Bridge. we appreciate  your support of the line.we will release more information about upcoming product in the next month or so. Also, please stay tuned to our Facebook page for more details!
 
Thank you,


Customer Service

So, they didn't really address anything, other than it sounds like we will find out stuff in a month, but kinda odd that they didnt even say if they would be at Toy Fair.  I am guessing they will be though given the time frame.

Why do I get the feeling these will eventually be half price?

I would say that is a gamble for sure, 50/50.  Who knows how many were made?  Even hardcore collectors might not be too excited about adding this old granny to their collection.  It certainly took quite a while for me to just say screw it and order one.

I saw those too at TRU. They were mixed with the older blue box design. Still no figures. Target is down to a single battle droid in vintage and they still refuse to stock!

It looks to me like Target is about ready to do a planogram reset.  If you Target operates like mine they won't stock anything new until the actual reset happens in an effort to sell down then crap rotting on the pegs that isn't set for clearance.  My Target has just went through and removed all of the pegs on the top row and squeezed everything down from 4 pegs to 3.

bleh....  just ordered one of these...  can't believe on top of the crazy high price there is a handling charge...

anyway - I clicked the link from JD.com and said I heard about their site from jd.com, so hopefully that is worth something   ;D

Just got back from TRU and they had 3 of Big Red and 2 Falconers. I had $15 TRU reward buck to blow (they expire after today) and I was on the fence about Big Red anyway, so needless to say Big Red is now at home and opened and on display.

Big Red upc: 634482514801

I still want the series 7 City Hunter but he was gone.  I am sure I will see him soon enough

I would think that they would/should be showing stuff off at Toy Fair.  "Strike while the iron is hot," for the movie anyways, if you will.  With the next wave having a "summer" release (they should probably try and get this out earlier), I would hope they would want to be showing off something at Toy Fair.

You know, what?  I am going to go and email them and ask if they will be at Toy Fair and if they will have some of the next wave to show off.  They were pretty responsive the last time I emailed them.

<insert time me writing an email>

maybe I will send them follow up questions if they send me a decent response.

if any of you would like to contact them to ask other questions (perhaps about why certain characters were/were not released), here is where to go to contact them:  http://www.thebridgedirect.com/contact.php
