It really makes you wonder what the hell is going on with these people.  I haven't received everything from them that I have paid for, but I have received some of it.  I imagine there is going to be tremendous backlash after that post.  Sure, I bet some people will call the factory out of curiosity, but I don't think that will do anything.  I'm also quite skeptical about a factory in Texas.  I didn't think that was really a thing anymore for this type of manufacturing.  I figured all this stuff was overseas.  There is reason that comments are turned off on the FB post.

As for people getting their money back, that may be possible depending on the method of ordering and if SLC are willing to give refunds.  Quite some time ago I preordered a self published book.  It was supposed to be one of those complete Star Wars line toy books that detailed everything.  It went on forever.  Excuse after excuse about delays, adding new stuff, etc.  It was only around $70 at the time so I just let it roll.  After probably close to a decade total and no updates for years, I started hunting down the guy.  Finally got ahold of him via email, and did get a refund through paypal.  Now, I doubt it will be as easy in this case.  I can almost guarantee I will get my Stan Solo Bantha from the second batch order he put up recently before seeing this one or any of the other wave of 13 figures from SLC.  I would still inquire with paypal and or credit card company to see if anything can be done at this point. It looks like all the on-line battles over making repro stuff is justified after this post from SLC.  It boggles the mind that their approach is "screw it, you do it.  You want it?  You get an answer from them".

I will be quite happy if they stop making these as well.  The Vader was one thing, it actually had roots in vintage Kenner.  The X-wing Luke was a bit much.  That was an "original" figure for the retro line and shouldn't have had a prototype version.  Same for the Mando figure.

I have been seeing several FB posts about a UK company getting these figures and people receiving them.  I'm wondering when they will finally show up at Target.

Pulse has them at the $11.99 price point as well.  Got my Indy from them this week and just dumped my EE preorder and switched to Pulse.  I never thought I would see figure prices going down.

The individual preorder thing is kind of a pain.  I can understand not ordering in stock items with preorder items, but multiple preorder items shouldn't be an issue.  I guess it is a matter of stuff coming in at different times.  The shipping isn't cheap from the UK so getting several items individually adds up.  I guess the hard part is not knowing if the items will show up in the US.  I would think they would, but I could see at least the RFT selling out since I think it would be pretty popular.

As for the baby Bantha, I think it will fit in nicely with the large version.  $39 isn't a bad price based on the prices of the other figures.

I'm surprised as well, but they haven't listed anything yet besides the one Indy figure they had.  EE has the rest of the wave for $14.99 a figure.

Hasbro is doing weird stuff as well.  I order the wave in one order.  They order total was $11.99 x 6 plus shipping.  Got individual charge notices for each figure.  Have six different credit card charges, all for different values.  Somehow they split the shipping between the six at different rates.  They sent a shipping notice for only the Emperor and show the other five shipping May 1.  Really strange way to go about this.  They have always charged once and shipped a whole wave in the past.

Stan Solo's UK site has the Rebel Fleet Trooper up for preorder.
