So I've now pre-ordered waves 5, 6, and 7 from Newforce.
Having never done this before - I'm wondering what % of their orders get canceled?
Am I in good shape to expect these or should I be making back up plans and filling my gas tank up for more fruitless Star Wars runs?
From the email Rick sent out today:
hello all...
Just a note, we have added wave 6 and wave 7 to our presell catalog (the last 2 items). We have also added more wave 5 for preorder.
To give all an update, so far this year we have been very encouraged by Hasbro's allocation of product to us. Below is the % of our initial orders (if over 100%, it is extra product ordered for in stock sales).
Wave 1-90%
wave 2-100%
wave 2.5-100%
wave 3-120%
Vintage-105%
So, if this trend continues, we are hopeful to continue to be able to supply everyone with 100% of their preorders! As folks know, preorders are not a guarantee, but this year they are looking good!.
We also have minimal wave 3 cases left in stock, ready for immediate shipment. And, for a limited time, any order for a wave 3 case (did not apply to preorders, only new orders) with receive a free Vader and Coin set!.
Thanks
