This really ticks me off. Hasbro really screwed the pooch by releasing retail death in Greedo, Hammerhead and Walrusman in the first wave. Wave 2 minus Wuher is where these sets would have started to shine. There are a couple of e-tailers, Brians Toys being one of them where you can order them still. Expect to pay a hefty price for them though. This is a line which makes perfect sense for the fan club or an on-line exclusive for an e-tailer.
I was hoping too that it would continue and we would get a Hem Dazon, Myo, Feltipern, Dice etc etc etc
:'( You and your crappy decisions suck sometimes Hasbro Direct!
-
This sucks!! I guess I better get a new Credit Card so I can order these things.
-
I bet Brian will be laughing all the way to the bank. Whats the deal with the $7 dollar price difference between two figures? And $2 HANDLING!?
I guess price gouging wasn't enough for him.
-
I can see the $20 price for these (he does have to import them at his cost and they did retail at around $12 IIRC) but charging $8 on top of that isn't right. Buyer beware I guess and it is up to you how much you want to pay. The alternative is to wait and hope that someone picks them up for '04.
-
This both sucks and blows at the same time as I really wanted Kitik. I'm holding out for a possible US release, so I won't be buying from an e-tailer. Retail on the originals was $10, IIRC, Scott, but $20 is really not that bad considering the exclustivity of the item. Anything higher, I wouldn't even consider.
-
Not good, not good at all. Walmart here had the first wave on sale for $2.
I really want them but not like this.
Not a good call at all. :'(
-
Yes, this is very irritating indeed. I was very much looking forward to getting these three sets. Hasbro has disappointed us all again. Way to go Hasbro! Thanks a lot.
-
I'd love to know which moron at Hasbro decided to release re-hases in the first wave, and then decide to throw in the better figures in the second... Common sense says that if Wave 1 has terrible sales, then the store (Wal-Mart, in this case), won't take Wave 2. How could anyone expect sales to be good when the wave has nothing but easy-to-find rehashes in it???
Now folks who 'need' the Praying Mantis are going to have to resort to paying scalper prices.

This wasn't really news. It's been reported here: http://www.thejawa.com/index.php?page=showcomments&id=1692 (http://www.thejawa.com/index.php?page=showcomments&id=1692) in March, and more recently here: http://www.thejawa.com/index.php?page=showmonth&m=04&y=2003 (http://www.thejawa.com/index.php?page=showmonth&m=04&y=2003), and it's this news story:
"Cantina Scene Update
Some of you might recall my earlier article on the second wave of Cantina Scenes. If not, check it out here.
I've been following up on this story with another Hasbro source. They have stated emphatically that wave 2 of the Cantina sets were never officially confirmed by Hasbro, and they are not scheduled for the 2003 toy line.
Nick | April 1st, 2003 "

When recently as two weeks ago Galactic Hunter was saying they still are on tap...I'd say it is news. They still made a production run and they are still selling them just not domestically but you can get them from e-tailers...that is the news
-
Well, in a fit of panic and impatience, I bit the proverbial bullet today, and ordered 2 sets of these three Wave 2 Cantina figures from Amok Time. The 2 sets (6 figures in total) ran me a grand total of $113.98 with $10 shipping, which comes out to exactly $19 a figure. That SUCKS, but it's the best price I've seen on them yet. But as a good buddy recently suggested to me, C.Y.A.! ;)
I'm sure these will eventually trickle out to some additional outlets (probably just e-tailers) for a cheaper price, but for once, it just wasn't worth the risk to me. I'll eventually pick up a third set of them as well, but I'll be more patient on that one and score those for a much better price eventually, I'm sure...
Here's where I ordered mine: Amok Time's Wave 2 Cantina Sets (http://amoktime.com/detail.asp?product_id=sw285)
Here's the link to the ones at Brian's Toys, which are priced just a tad higher (scroll down past the $200 Silver Boba Fett :o :P): BT's Cantina Sets (http://www.brianstoys.com/acatalog/Saga.html)
So who else is planning on picking this second wave up? You going to bite the expensive e-tailer bullet, or exercise some appropriate patience and hope to score them for a more reasonable price somewhere down the line...?
I can't even begin to explain how disappointed I am that the Cantina line will most likely end now. A couple curved pieces for the end of the bar (the "U" portion), and the distillery for the bar's interior, along with 3 more fresh choices for Aliens... Oh, what a thing of beauty it would've been! This really seemed like a sure fire thing, but Hasbro somehow still goofed it all up... >:(
By OCB:
This is a line which makes perfect sense for the Fan Club...
Exactly what I just posted in another thread Scott! I think it would be a perfect product pickup for the Fan Club! Hopefully Vic will consider it, if he hasn't already... ;)
-
Wow, cool tip there Matt. I still stnad by my earlier sentiment that these would make awesome Fan Club exclusives. I am not sure what volume Hasbro demands for exclusives though which may be a problem. For the right pieces (HEM DAZON, TONNIKA SISTERS, MYO etc) the amount may not matter. Two or three of these a year with perhaps booths and table sections would be all too sweet!
-
Hasbro makes me so mad. They could have really done something special with these sets, and screwed it up by rehashing pegwarmers with the first wave. There's no excuse for such blind stupidity!
Hopefully the fan club will indeed pick these up. Oh how this Wookie hopes.
:P
-
Now that they have the molds for the new Evazan and Kitik Keedkak, I say throw them on a blister card! What a waste!
Most collectors have Wuher, so no big loss there. I never liked the first wave anyhow, I couldn't bring myself to buy 3 figures I already have.
But Kitik! I don't think we've seen the last of her...
-
Do we have any clue where these will be distributed? Non-US I understand, but is Canada still a different country? I know the first three cleared at Walmart, but they did sell a ton initially, so no worse than many other items. Or am I just living in a fantasy world? 8)
-
I am planning to bite the bullet, but I haven't yet. I'm moving in 2 weeks, so I can't order anything until I have a permanent residence. I personally can't believe Hasbro's screwup either, other than it fits their pattern, historically speaking. I'm sure I saw either at Brian's toys or Entertainment Earth that one of the 3 figures in the 2nd wave was less than the other two. If my memory isn't failing, it was Kitak Keed'Kak that was cheaper!!! I'm pretty sure it was Brian's Toys, known for ripping off people. Why would the only new figure be $6 or so cheaper? .... I just checked, for C-9 Wuher & Evazan is $21.99 ($20.99 for C-7/8) and Kitak is $14.99 for the C-9 ($13.99 for C-7/8). I would think they would do it the other way around.
-
Is Brian's Toys the only ones selling these right now?
Or is someone else taking pre-orders for possibly cheaper?
I'm pondering plunking the cash down just so I'm sure I get them...
Sucks though, because I was planning on buying at least 2 of each figure for customizing. This was the best wave for customs that they had coming out...
Way to go Hasbro, you screwed the collecting community once again! :) If that's your business plan, you're doing a rock solid job.
-
Check some of Matt's previous posts Jesse :-*
-
R2DToys are going to be carrying these as well.
-
too lazy to look at the sites, but hopw much are they?
-
I have a set on Pre-Order from Amok Time Toys for $51.99.
-
I have a set on Pre-Order from Amok Time Toys for $51.99.
When do they say they'll be able to fulfill your pre-order? I heard later in the year around November or so.
-
I'm confused. Is the 2nd wave going to be available at retail or just these online places or what? I only want Kitik and that's it. Are the etailers actually going to get these? I don't want to plunk down $60 and have the etailer say "Sorry, these have been discontinued. You'll get your money back from us in 11 years from now...maybe...if you are lucky that is."
Last I heard was Hasbro was not going to realease them or they were to be delayed indefinitely. Then shortly afterward GalaticHunter said they were still coming and fairly soon. Is we is or is we isn't gonna have a chance to get em or what?
-
Alright. Let's see - lots of questions here...
Obviously we can never say for sure on anything that Hasbro does or doesn't do, but at the current time, all indications point to these Wave 2 sets not showing up domestically (and that probably includes Canada too). They're probably just going to be in Asia and with several online e-tailers for the time being. From everything we've heard, these won't be hitting the retail stores at all.
BUT, things often change - sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse (like with the Shuttle and the Sandcrawler respectively). Hasbro's an unpredictable bunch. It just doesn't make sense that these things may never see the light of day at a North American retail chain sometime in the future. And if I had to place a bet, I think that somehow, someway, they'll eventually find their way over here to a more affordable outlet - possibly even the Fan Club. But there's just no telling... :-\
Bottom line is that you're assuming a risk if you don't bite the bullet and snag them right now from an e-tailer (like Amok Time or Brian's). But at the same time, those of us who aren't willing to accept this risk and have placed our pre-orders already, might wind up disappointed when someone else gets them for significantly cheaper later on. So it's really up to you folks to decide what you want to do. I for one, said the hell with it and pre-ordered two complete sets from Amok Time for $114 shipped. Good chance I'll find out later on that I overspent here, but oh well! I'll wait to snag a third set later on from someone else for cheaper, since these will just be extras and I won't be too pissed off if I miss out on them.
I guess it really boils down to these more expensive e-tailer pre-orders being like "buying insurance". I'm paying a little more now, to insure myself against missing out on these in the future. Obviously, a lot of times paying insurance just turns out to be a waste of money and you never really need/use it. But you just know that when you finally decide to pass on paying the insurance, it's going to be that one damned time that you really need it. BTW, I've never placed an online pre-order for anything before until I did so with these just a couple days ago...
I'm sure some more e-tailers will follow suit and get some of these as well, but for the time being it looks like Amok Time and Brian's Toys are the only two offering them. Little cheaper if you're getting the complete wave to go with Amok Time, but if you just want the new Kitik alien, then Brian's is the best route to go. And I agree with you Pat, that it's quite odd that the Kitik is the cheapest of the 3 at Brians Toys, considering she'll be the one that's in greatest demand, for sure (since she's the only new one)!
Here's the Amok Time pre-order page (http://amoktime.com/detail.asp?product_id=sw285), where they're $52 for all three. My total shipping was $10 for 2 sets (6 figures), so it's probably less for only one set. Their site lists the TENTATIVE date as some time in May, though that most likely won't be happening. Don't recall if my order confirmation e-mail from them said anything to the contrary. Doesn't even look like buying them individually at Amok Time is even an option at this point.
And scroll down this page at Brian's Toys (http://www.brianstoys.com/acatalog/Saga.html) for the Cantina pre-orders. Looks like they're only sold individually at Brian's, and you generally will pay $8 for shipping and handling on your entire order. No ETA at all listed at Brian's. The Wuher and Evazan figures here will run you $21-22 each, while the Kitik Keed'kak is only $14-15 (not too bad). This is probably your best choice Brian, and any other fellow Kitik only orderers!
Good luck everybody, whatever path you decide to take. And we'll definitely bring you any further news on the situation as it develops! 8)
-
Thanks a bunch JediMAC. I'm just going to preorder from Brian's Toys.
-
One more question. Does Amok Time charge your credit card upfront for a pre order or what?
-
The website says no. They updated what JediMac said regarding the availability date and with that update is an indicatation saying they don't charge until they are shipping. Cool stuff and I may have to make an order. I just wish I knew when so I could predict when the charge would be made. I've got so much stuff on preorder, that if it all comes at the same time, my card could max out :o
-
Everything is a pre-order these days, isn't it? :P
-
I'm not too disappointed about these not showing up- I thought the first wave was a good idea until I bought a couple and saw how much they didn't sell. Personally, I buy for nostalgia of the films, and I didn't know there was a praying mantis in the cantina until I saw a photo a couple years ago! So, if I didn't see it on screen, I don't really need to buy it. I also prefer the cleaner Wuher over the dirtier one, and I think Evazan needs a new carded and sculpted version.
-
i hate preorders, i never order anything till i know its really there.
but those prices are ridiculous.
-
In order to keep my collecting costs down I do not collect deluxe figures in general. I won't pay an inflated price for these, unless I can work out a trade for them.
-
I thought that I heard that production of these are just pushed back and not cancelled, just like the Sandcrawler
-
They were made, they are sitting somewhere and e-tailers are selling them...when they get them and if and when a retailer picks them up remains to be seen
-

And then I stumbled across this old post from Vic (http://www.galactichunter.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=Saga&Number=22064&Forum=All_Forums&Words=814&Match=Username&Searchpage=0&Limit=25&Old=allposts&Main=18708&Search=true#Post22064) (of the Fan Club) over at GH from about 5 months ago:
--------------------
But, let me tell you... If I ran the e-commerce store, I would seek to stock the inverse of the retail outlets. If you can find it in stores, it wouldn't be in the Jawa Trader. Instead, I'd seek to carry exclusives, foreign items that never made it to the US, and sets of cool things that were never sold as sets before. My focus would be on making collecting easier.
-Vic Wertz,
Director, Product Development,
The Official Star Wars Fan Club.
--------------------
Very interesting... So at least Vic is already on the same wave length with us here. I like that! Just a question of if/when Paizo will ever be able to consolidate the e-commerce site with the Fan Club that it's now running (since they're still separately owned entities at this point).
So... Don't know if that gives any of you a glimmer of hope on these Cantina sets here, but I thought I should point it out! Here's to hoping... 8)
-
These are going to end up like the Eopie, unless Hasbro convinces someone to take them on. Since they're all sitting in a warehouse somewhere, I doubt my hopes that Hasbro would just release them individually on a card will come true anytime soon. :(
-
I preordered a set through Amoktime yesterday. I called in, since I was making an order for me and two friends. I was hoping to get something of a quantity discount. However, they weren't able to do that.
The guy at Amoktime told me that they've gotten a small shipment of Cantina wave 2 so far. However, their current order has been pushed back numerous times. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they're going to be able to fill the order.
-
I realize I got raped big time on shipping but lookee what I just bought on eBay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3135775538&category=2476&rd=1
Might mean they are still coming to etailers (fingers crossed)
-
Feh, shipping overseas costs a bundle. Sending three figs to Japan costs me $21. It's probably fairly accurate. At least you have one. I'm dawdling along thinking about it.
-
I realize I got raped big time on shipping but lookee what I just bought on eBay...
Damn Scott, $34 for a C-7 Kitik Keed'kak figure?!? :o You crazy?! Geez, you could've gotten one for only $22 from Brian's Toys...
The boy has no patience... ::) :-*
-
I was going to order from Brian's Toys and then thought better of it which will screw me in the long run I'm sure. I just can't give in to them. If I never get this figure so be it.
-

Call it hedging my bet ala 4-LOHS, if BT's does actually get them then I'm out $12 if not well then Matt good luck getting one for less than $34 :-*
-
This is really a tragedy. They should've released these first, and not even bothered with Greedo, Hammerhead, Walrus Man.
Did they really expect them to be big sellers?
-
Honestly, if you don't have the Momaw Nadon yet, I suggest nabbing it. It's a good figure, and quite superior to the first. When you put the 2 together (Old and Saga Catina set) in the Cantina, they make a neat, and different duo.
The Greedo's different enough too, that it, the POTF2, and Commtech ones all look "unique" together...
The Ponda's not a notch lower either, but he's the weakest of the 3. His legs are "odd", to say t he least. :(
I agree though, the 2nd set would sell better than the first, hands down... I'd buy 2 of each if they were available, just for the customizing parts I could cast off all 3 figures. Evazan and Wuher were vast improvements on their previous figures IMO.
-
Everything is a pre-order these days, isn't it? :P
Internet ordered, anyhow.
Try collecting solely by visiting retail stores, that ought to be enough to kill your interest in the hobby for a long time to come. I'm pretty sure most collectors utilize the internet in some way, shape, or form to round out their collections now, if not obtain the majority of new wave figures.
:D
-
Kitik came yesterday and she is oh so sweet! I am going to wait on opening her for a while because the package seems to be some sort of prototype since there is a sticker on the front instead of a card.
The figure looks very, very nice and it is a shame these may never see a release >:(
-
There is a set of three up on eBay right now. Rumors right now say these may not see the light of day until 2005. I am glad I got Kitik when I did!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2476&item=3144095187
-
I can wait till 2005 (Though I'd love em sooner) for these, I think they're very great looking figures. All 3 are vast improvements (Or completely new) so these are definitely gonna sell when they get released.
From what I hear about how far along they got it'd be highly unlikely that they dont' see production someday so the higher prices on Ebay are enough of a deterant for me to wait it out... I'm gonna hold off, but I really want a Zorak figure like NOW!
Evazan and Wuher would be nice too though because they're really spiffy looking compared to their previous figures. Good retooling too if you ask me.
-
Okay, I'm probably showing my ignorance here (and I haven't watched ANH closely in forever), but in the cantina, does the bar have barstools? I don't ever remember seeing barstools. Just curious, since as much as I like the Cantina Wave sets, it just doesn't seem movie accurate to me.... not that Hasbro really worries about that.
-
Nope, the ANH Cantina had no barstools. Ironically, the cantina in the Holiday Special DID though. Go figure... The stools can be removed if you don't mind a little work. Or you can reverse the bar and the stools would be on the inside of the bar instead of the outside, but then in Wuher's way I guess.
Popping them off doesn't take much effort though.
-
I am sure there is a thread on this someplace. I am too lazy to look it up right now. Ummm, forgive me if there was ever an answer to this question. Is Kitik coming in 2004 as cantina scene or is this entire wave on hold still? I can't remember the answer.
-
On hold indefinitely...until Wal MArt or KB decides to take the bait they sit. The big unknown is how many actual sets were made of these figures. Some were and the rumor is that they are sitting in a wearhouse in Asia.
I do have a set which i paid $35 plus shipping for and I sure am happy I did :-*
-
how do some people get these if they arent released yet?
-
Asain eBayers...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2476&item=3143184767
-
Thanks OCB. I thought it was something like that but then rumors start flying and could not keep it straight. I even was going to preorder from Brian's Toys but then thought better of it. Hopefully someone will bite on them or the Fan Club even.
-
but how do asian ebayers get them?
-
Connections at the workshops or the wearhouse they were stored at...in most cases though it is through the Hasbro (and the place it contracts with) toy workshops
-
I want these figures to come out too and I, too am also wondering when they are going to hit. Hopefully in 04, maybe part of a TRU Cantina 4 pack.
-
I want Kitik pretty darn bad... I guess that the bidding wars with the Wookie are about to begin!
You know the first wave wouldn't have done so poorly if they had instead used all new characters...
:P
-

:P
my thoughts exactly. But hey I bought a set of the first wave. I think they just made too many of them.
-
I still need to pick up one of these sets... >:( I just do not want to pay such high prices. Maybe soon I will find a set for a good price.
-
I've had a pre-order sitting with one of the e-tailers for many months now for a couple sets of Wave 2 of these cantina figures - for about $18 each, I believe. No word on it as of yet. I'm not going to pay anything more than that on them, though I'm pretty sure they'll eventually be picked up by someone (probably Target or KB) as an exclusive, and distributed sometime later next year. I'd definitely try to hold off on paying too much for them right now if you can. That's my hunch.
But the Kitik figure is definitely at the tops of everyone's 'wants' lists right now, for obvious reasons... Hopefully all will eventually be rewarded for their patience (except for Scott, that is)... :-*
-
Yeah, I'm personally holding off on these for a wide-spread distribution, just because I'm stubborn. It's very unlikely that these would NEVER be released at this point. Someone's bound to pick them up.
-
Holy Crap! Look at the BIN on this auction! :o
Cantina Wave 2 Star Wars Figures Carded (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3152846002&category=2476)
-
Thats fricken nuts !! I used to look at their site for prototypes but I felt they were a little pricy on those but that BIN is just plain crazy if someone pays it.
-
Watch though somone will buy it for that much.
-
Just to be curious, I bid on it (since it was at $9.99 at the time and not at the reserved amount), but since I can't afford to pay an outrageous price, I only bid it to $27. I'm sure the reserve is at least $80. The Buy it Now price doesn't have to be the reserve, does it?
-
I wouldn't buy these on ePay. The only reason they're difficult to get is because WalMart bailed on them. Seriously, be patient and there's a possibility that they might show up at either Target, KayBee, or even through the Star Wars Fan Club ( those are all strongly rumored, nothing definite).
-
I agree that the 1st round of Cantina Packs would have flown off the pegs like they were on fire if new aliens like Hem Dazon, Kitik, and Myo were included instead of Momaw for a 2nd time, Ponda for a 3rd time, and Greedo for a 3rd time. Unfortunately, members of retail management are not Star Wars collectors and could not have known that the 2nd Wave of Cantina sets would have sold much much better than that 1st round of crap.
Kitik has to be released somehow now that it's prototyped and everything. It might just be slapped onto a SAGA card.
-
If Kitik gets released, I'll be happy. I'd like a Evazan that isn't doing the splits, but it really isn't that important to me. Wuher was good enough the first time; no need to slap an ugly paint job on him. Of course, they did remove the glass from his hand, so that's an improvement.
-
Been awhile on that auction I posted with a reserve of $500. Well the reserve was met from a buyer in Japan. :o Feedback have been posted to both partys!
Speaking of auctions, heres another one:

Hmmmm...should I turn this around for 10x what I bought it for ??? ;)
-
Yes. You should. Nice pieces and all but yes.
I think they'll still show up so why not turn a hefty profit (look honey a new car seat for the baby and a signature MR Vader saber too) and become available to you again.
-
I agree with Brent. If they do come out in time, Hell whatta score! ;)
Just hope they do release this set. :-\

I have a loose set already which I had scooped up for $35 I believe, that too was a score

Does anyone think it is even remotely possible that Hasbro did all this work and that these figures won't ever see the light of day? I regret now not buying them on ebay when they were cheaper, but I still can't believe that at some point in time in whatever the current packaging is, that these figures will get released. Am I crazy? No wait.... strike that... does it even seem possible that these won't get produced?
-
Sold for $150!
-
Damm, that was fast since I posted it! :o

Since no one replied to my questions and I'm just interested in opinions cuz I know that no one knows for sure, I thought I would re-post this. Stan, could you find out if Jimmy knows anything? It would be crazy not to release these next year when everything else is so OT heavy.

I will email him later, someone eles ask if I could find out about cantina wave that he share early in his post-Still have not heard on that request asof yet!!!!!
-
Yeah I would think at least Kitik would be released in some form somewhere down the line, she makes the most sense and is a decent figure overall
-
I take it everyone's pre-orders got canceled. Has anyone tracked these down after the fact? Does anyone consider this like the Eopie, or items that just never officially made it to retail?
-
Darth_Anton, you realize you replied to a 2 year old post... right? They did release these as a 3 pack.... can't remember if it was during OTC or what now.
-
I think Anton's post was meant to bump and see if anyone got the individually carded ones.
I thought either Scott or JediMAC did... Someone did.
They'd be up there in rarity I would think... Carded rarity anyway. They were clearanced at K-Mart but sold steadily well at first.
I'm not a carded guy so I'm sure I don't consider these like the Eopie... If I were a die-hard carded completist though, I would be SOL on these ones. I don't think their paint differences were big though if there were any at all, so I'm glad they got released in OTC packaging to K-Mart of all freaking places. Plus it was great to get them at a store that actually is abundant in my area and close for once... :) It's hell having to drive 45 minutes just to get to one Target.
-
I new what I was doing obi-dad. ;) Yeah, I was specifically refering to the individualy carded sets. I have the K-Mart pack, but in having a carded collection, I am bi-curious about non-official releases and somewhere in the back of my brain, think about trying to pick them up.
Same goes for the non-released set of Saga cups. :P

I prefer the potf2 Wuher than this version
These counters would be asembled in a bigger cantina diorama than the cardstock one
