I can confirm it showed on the website as available to ship this morning around 4am EDT. I had it in my cart but got error messages on check out 3 times in a row. Then it reverted to being unavailable again before I could successfully complete the transaction.

Like I said though, I am not a Pulse Premium Member and they sold me 2 of the Cantina 4 packs at 1:20 yesterday. There was something wrong.

I see that some people were able to order the limit of 10 packs. I guess I can understand how the pack sold out in 20 minutes then. Army builders gonna army build...

Sold Out!

Okay. I appreciate replies. I still don't know if I get it. Here's the scenario that runs through my mind...

Hasbro debuts a $17 TVC action figure today for delivery in the summer. EE puts it up for presale, and presells out. The figure arrives in July now with a 150% tariff added on, so it becomes a $42 purchase. (I know in reality it is a tariff on the wholesale price and not MSRP, but go with me for simplicity's sake.) EE allows me to cancel that preorder, and in fact all preorder customers cancel due to the incredible price jump. Does EE get stuck with all that inventory at that cost? Can they cancel and stick Hasbro with the costs and inventory? Can Hasbro refuse the tariff and choose not to unload the ship?

Is all of this unprecedented and just unknown at this point?

1x ANH Vehicle   (still holding out hope this is the Z001/ Ubrikkian Speeder to sit outside the HasLab Cantina)

Jayson has confirmed elsewhere that this vehicle is NOT tied to the Return to Tatooine campaign. Wild speculation has centered around a Y-Wing or Vader's TIE.

I will go into a little more detail than Rob did but he's 100% correct in everything he says. The story is interesting once all the pieces get put together.

The unofficial mythology here is all about the rivalry between Krahn and Smith. Smith built Smith Lord Creations, Krahn expressed interest in being SLC's American distributor through The Fans Strike Back, but before anything happened there, Smith decided he was done with the business and offered to sell it outright to Krahn. Krahn accepted happily.

Krahn began cranking out SLC product through TFSB. He began preselling Banthas and "the 13." At the same time, Smith had second thoughts or misgivings about selling his company and started a new one doing the same thing called Stan Solo. He went back to his old Chinese factory contacts to do this, and so both Stan Solo and SLC figures were made at the same factory.

Krahn did not appreciate this very direct competition from the guy who had sold the company to him. Smith alleges Krahn leaked shipping information to authorities about "bootleg toys" to get Smith's product seized when imported to England. If that was his strategy it backfired horribly on him because soon after a shipment of SLC Stormtroopers was seized by American customs. Krahn blamed the Chinese factory and tried to force them to replace the seized figures, but the factory refused. As the argument escalated, the factory simply stopped responding and ceased working with both SLC and Stan Solo( which accounts for why Smith stopped making astromech droid variations at that time, he lost access to all of his mold inventory.)

Smith picked up by moving on to a new factory and producing new figures and new molds, starting over for essentially the third time. He continues to thrive in his niche.

Krahn was hurting because the seized Stormtroopers were allegedly a presell that he could not fulfill until he found a new factory, made new molds, and got them produced again. This is where it looks like money started going from one thing to cover another ( though that could have been going on the whole time with him.) The worst result was he didn't have established contacts in China and when he did get back into production it was with inferior quality. The Slave Leia figure he put out is all the example you need for this.

As SLC had lost the money invested in the molds for the "13" when they lost the original factory (who, lo and behold, did in fact at least partially produce the whole run of 13 figures) it then became a problem of Krahn never having the ability to catch up enough financially to get that process started again. Losing the original factory also cost SLC the ability to make the Bantha for all the same reasons.

In the end the most damning part of the process was that, as it started to unravel, Krahn repeatedly lied and tried to spin his way out of issues with customers. He was never able to catch up with what he'd spent and lost, his reputation tanked, and TFSB and SLC effectively disappeared.
