Yoda's News reported the following a few days ago:
Our Bothan Spy reports in today with some new information about the large scale Unleashed figures. The latest news they are getting is that the 3 we have seen many times already will be the last wave until 2007 (and possibly the last wave period), and they also heard that this set of three will be exclusive (for now at least) to Wal-Mart Stores. More news as we get it!
I seriously hope that either their Bothans are completely wrong about it being the end of the Unleashed line.
Boy, I really hopy the spies are wrong about this too. If this is the case, Hasbro really seems to be toying with us. First we hear the line is done, then we are relieved when we're told its "coming back" in 2006. Then we hear "Fall 06", then it is moved up to "Spinrg 06", and now maybe just one (exclusive) wave (of mostly rehashed figures) and that's it? I definitely hope that isn't the case. This is a great line, which seems to target collectors mainly, and there is more than enough life left in it. I mean, we still haven't even seen all the "versions" of the main characters (Luke, Han, Leia, Lando, R2, 3PO, etc.) not to mention the troopers we could see (Biker Scout, Hoth Snowtrooper, etc.), bounty hunters, and much more. A lot of different characters left to help the line continue for awhile yet.
