Black Series 6" Holiday Repaint Figures

[Dave]

Did any of these end up showing up anywhere???  Are we going to get Christmas repaints for Valentines Day?

[Matt_Fury]

Let's not give the Hasbro team any ideas.

Did any of these end up showing up anywhere???  Are we going to get Christmas repaints for Valentines Day?

I was wondering the same thing.  Haven't seen any sign of people finding them at retail or even preorders.  I thought maybe I misunderstood and they were planned for next Christmas...

I thought maybe I misunderstood and they were planned for next Christmas...

These were definitely planned for this Christmas, but the shipping fiasco screwed them getting these into the USA before Christmas. 

Jayson says some of these have started to hit Hasbro warehouses stateside now (and some have turned up at some of those scalper shops that "find" things early from contacts at the ports), so it'll be interesting to see what they do.  Are Target/Amazon/Walmart going to want a new Christmas item now?  Will they try a "Christmas in July" type thing for con season on Pulse this summer?  Are they willing to just sit on the product so it's ready for next November?

No one really knows, especially since Hasbro never even officially announced/revealed them in the first place.

[Dave]

I guess that is the challenge with seasonal themed items. 

If a case of regular Bo-Katan figure is 8 weeks late it doesn't really matter, but I'm sure the retailers don't want Christmas stuff in February.

I was a “pass” a year ago and am now a “hard pass”.

[Nicklab]

What’s with the Clone Trooper?  Is the color a tribute to Mr Hanky, the Christmas Poo???

[Muftak]

He's a Gingerbread Man...

[McMetal]

I feel like the Clone Deco is a pretty close match to the Geonosis color scheme, so may be worth getting a few of him.

[Jeff]

Was it ever actually In Stock? As much as people complain about these things I would be irritated if it really sold out that fast.

[Jeff]

Yes, it was.  Not sure if it "sold out" or if someone realized it wasn't supposed to be active yet...

edit:
It is now after 1pm ET (when it was supposed to go live) and it is still showing out of stock.

Its surprising to me that these holiday repaints keep getting made, year after year.  I thought they were marginally cute at first, but now it just seems overdone, greedy, and lame.  (Sorry to those that will buy these year in an year out and love them - not just for completism)
