Well, they've hit ePay.  We're about a week away from our first CA retail sightings:

Sounds like a presell - see the description again:


This figure will ship in June but I have been receiving my shipments earlier. If I receive it earlier, you will as well. You will not be dissappointed and will not find a more MOMC figure on Ebay! Feel free to ask any/all questions!

This wave can just wait. VOTC, TRU Exclusives, Target Exclusives and H&V in the same month is way too much. End of May would be fine with me.

In about a month that moron could of picked up a dozen of them for that price.  That picture is a stock photo fora presell.  The buyer is going to be pretty pissed when that fig ships about the time these are on shelves and all his friends have already gotten one for $6.

Holy geez.  That is amazing.  $91 for a figure that's going to be shipped to him in June?  I really wonder who these people are that have $91 to blow on what might be a pegwarmer.  Sometimes I dither over whether or not to pick up a figure for $7, and I make a very nice annual salary.  Whew, talk about throwing money away.  The ******* could have gone to entertainment earth and ordered the entire case of 12 figures for that.

Sometimes when I see auctions like this I really think it's collectors with bogus ePay screennames out to foil scalper's auctions to get even with them.  However, in this case it's a totally legitimate buyer, with a sound history, who has been buying baseball cards for very reasonable prices

Yup, you're right.  Normally I'm quite astute, but I didn't notice that.  Must have been the 3 days of food poisoning.

On the Chinese Star Wars site, a few guys posted pictures of the Tatooine wave. I checked Ebay and some stores have them in stock.

Those are stock photos that Hasbro produces, as far as I know they're nothing we haven't seen before.

Umm...Well, farther down in the thread one user has pics of them loose...at least, the Sandtrooper and it looks like they reused the VOTC body, not the Commtech! Oh yeah! I just hope this is what we get...

another in-hand auction


Well, someone will be wasting their money on these when they could find them all at retail for around $60 (eventually).

Yeah, I love this wave also but I think I will wait for my case from EE on this one. I just do not have the time to hunt until July.

We have known about this for a while now, haven't we?
