Also more on the topic of the last waves of 2007, and moving FU...
From swCollector.com
"ANSWER: The Force Unleashed figures will be moved out to Spring 2008 and will not come out this calendar year. As a result we are arranging our waves so there is continuous flow of new figures through the holidays and Spring 2008. It's too early to tell whether they will have the 30th Anniversary line look, but they will probably not have coins as they are likely to come after we have completed the 60 basic figure coins."
Let's set the table like this:
Wave 8 was to be the Jango/Padme "AOTC" wave
Wave 9 was to be the Force Unleashed wave
Original conjecture was that we were moving from a wave release schedule that looked like:
1-7,9,8
to:
1-7,8,9 - moving FU back to later in order to move them closer to the release of the game.
Now we get confirmation that it's all the way to SPRING 2008, so now we have a BIG gap from the 30AC waves 1-8 to FU in Spring 2008.
The answer, as always, is very vague -
"We are rearranging our waves" which waves? - Just 8 & 9 as they mentioned before? Something from 2008? A re-paint/re-hash wave?
Then there's the comment about coins -
"...they are likely to come after we have completed the 60 basic figure coins."
They - FU, or They, the waves you're rearranging?
If they means FU, then there's nine more figures coming with coins in the late 2007/early 2008 time frame.
It's also worth noting that there was a question about a 2007 "continuation" re-paint/re-hash wave, and a vague answer about it being "hazy."
So about the only thing that's clear right now is that without FU there are only 53 figures for the coin series this year.
Lots of ways this can unfold, I'm interested to see how people's perception of the end of 2007 have changed since this answer.
Lots to learn at the upcoming cons!
