Title: As expected... PEGWARMERS!
Post by: JediMAC on October 9, 2003, 02:04 AM
Well, we're several weeks into the new single carded Clone Wars figures, and as many of us suspected, and greatly feared, these things are now hanging in MASS ABUNDANCE, everywhere!   >:(  What really sucks about this, is that they are indeed sitting on the same pegs that would otherwise be allocated to the Saga figures, which seem to have been disappearing or getting pulled from the shelves to make room for the "new" line.

That was my biggest fear with CW.  I wasn't so upset that they made it into a line perse, but I was going to be VERY upset if they took up the retail space that the Saga figures belong in.  Here in SoCal, that seems to be what's happening all over, in all the different stores.  There are CW Anakins, Yodas, and even ARC Troopers now hanging 10 deep, across 6 or more pegs.  It's absolutely DISGUSTING.

Can't Hasbro or the store orderers curtail their supply of a line of this nature in the beginning, to test the market and even see if it's going to sell first, before completely flooding it?  This is like April '99 and '02 all over again, except with just 3 figures this time.  Granted the ARC Trooper has been doing a bit better than Ani and Yoda the first few weeks, but even that seems to be over now.  The ships are everywhere now too.   :-\

And as you all know, as long as these things are still clogging the pegs, a lot of the new Saga product is NOT going to get put out in many of your favorite stores...  I just don't know how they're going to move these, since the Yoda and Ani sales are apparently already done.  Perhaps the debut of the actual cartoon next month will help.  I pray it does, 'cause there's some more stinkers (Mace, Obi) coming in round 2.

I really hope this entire line is cleared out before that animated CW line hits early next year, or there's going to be some SERIOUS problems getting any new Saga product on the shelves.  What a shame.  Very sad indeed...

So, how bad has it gotten in your areas?  If it's not bad yet, my guess is that it will be very soon...  Cross your fingers!

So far, CW figures aren't in mass abundance here.  I've only seen Droid Launchers for the most part (They're more than enough to clog pegs themselves) really.  

I've only seen 2 clone 3-packs (both yellow) and 2 Yodas and one of ARC and Anakin, so I'm hoping Pittsburgh is going to be spared this deluge of crap.

And crap it is!

At least Anakin is, and the Droid Launcher I feel Hasbro is OBLIGATED to take back at their own cost because THEY came up with that craptastic toy and decided to reship it (Not Hasbro's fault about distribution my @$$!)

The basic figures have come and gone at most stores here though so far.  And I'll nab ARC troopers left and right I've decided, but honestly what use is that Anakin or the Yoda?

I like Yoda even, honestly I do.  It's "unique" and while I'd love a NEW ESB Yoda, I can stomach "The Ugly" Yoda (From The good the bad and the ugly...  Get it?  Oh shut up!), he's gonna warm pegs.  It's inevitable.

I think the villain chick may do well, and honestly I think Durge may do better though I think he's an abomination of a character.  The neutral posed Jedi have the "Custom" factor to them, but that Anakin just bites the big one.  

We'll have to see, but if your area's any indication Matt, I'm fearing what my area (Always about a month or more behind) may be in store for here soon. :(

Yeah, I was even counting those above, just the basic single carded stuff so far.  But if you want to discuss the Destroyer Droid Launchers too, well then hell - those things have been 10 deep since day 1 of their release over 2 months ago.  THOSE are the reason that none of us can find the damned Clonetrooper 3-packs!!!  >:(  They're going to have to clearance those things out for about $1.99, otherwise they ain't gonna move.  Same situation I just discussed above - these things are clogging the shelves, so there's no room for any more Deluxe CW, which aside from the DD Launchers, are much more popular than the standard CW line, due to their obvious cross over potential with the regular movies and Saga line.

Pretty sure I recall hearing that the case breakdowns on these CW Deluxe assortments was yet another in the long line of major Hasbro gaffes, with the DDLs getting more than their fair share of the box allotment, leaving the far more popular Clones (and even Droids) 3-packs in the dust!

They'll never learn, I tell ya'...   ::)

This sucks. I really want the CW Saesee Tiin and Kit Fisto. I hope these overstocks don't make that wave impossible to find.  :-\

Post by: Mainland05 on October 9, 2003, 10:56 AM
Yeah, i agree.  CW is a major pegwarmer.  But hopefully when the Wave 2 gets released things will start to get good.  But i think they need to make more room at the stores for SW figures, it is a #1 collector, and they should fricken know that by know.  Make a bigger section for SW. NOW!!!
Title: Re: As expected... PEGWARMERS!
Post by: Nicklab on October 9, 2003, 01:08 PM
We're just finally getting better than average stocking levels on the Clone Wars line in the NY metro area.  It remains to be seen if the basic figures will be pegwarmers.  As for the army builder sets, they definitely made too many of the Destroyer Droid launchers.  That is definitely a pegwarmer.
Title: Re: As expected... PEGWARMERS!
Post by: Scott on October 9, 2003, 01:12 PM
I'll say that Yoda and ARC seem to be selling fairly well here (haven't been out shopping for a while) but Anakin is clogging the pegs worse than Malikili...and that is bad

Our only hope is that the kiddos buy into this whole stupid idea when the cartoon actually debuts in a month.  

And it gets worse...the Colman styled Animated figures are also coming to a store near you.

Thank the Maker for e-tailers (unless Hasbro screws them!)
Title: Re: As expected... PEGWARMERS!
Post by: Mainland05 on October 9, 2003, 01:54 PM
yea, when are the animated style figures coming out!
Title: Re: As expected... PEGWARMERS!
Post by: SilverZ on October 9, 2003, 09:07 PM
It may be a bit too early to tell. In fact, when you remember that the next assortment has absolutely NO refresh of Wave 1, and all figures are 4 per case, we're in for a good experiment into the actual sell-thru of this line. It will be easy to tell who has moved stock, ordered fresh cases, and what is really leftover.

It may turn out very different than the CW Deluxe stuff, which shipped those god-forsaken DD Launchers through 2 assortments. Its interesting to me that the Droid Army pack, which I thought was a sure-fire PW, actually seems to move, even if not at the rate of the Clone pack.

I see your point Matt -- I have the exact same fear, and probably ranted about the line a ton in the past and its risks, but it doesn't have me worried too much at the moment. Its actually nice to see new product on the shelves in fair quantity. I say give it a little time.

When Wave 2 starts to hit and clog shelves, I'll start my rants. :)

I have seen a lot of Anakin's and Yoda's sitting on the pegs, but I haven't seen many ARC Troopers sitting on the pegs.  In the last couple weeks I have purchased a total of 23 ARC Troopers... 21 one them are loose in my display of figures.  See a picture of them here (http://www.chrisrhoads.com/starwars/collection/clonewars/126_2657.jpg).

Looks like you are doing the army building theing w/ the Arc... Though from what I gather (haven't read the books or comics yet) but I thought there was at the most four Arc's in existance...

I assume though you're just going your on route on those... which is ok.
Just wondering...
Title: Re: As expected... PEGWARMERS!
Post by: CHEWIE on October 9, 2003, 11:53 PM
Ugh... I knew this would happen.  The real problem in my opinion was only releasing 3 figures in the first assortment... it would have been much better if they had done something like this for the first wave, which has 12 figures per case:

ARC Trooper X3
Yoda X3
Anakin X3
Assaj Ventress X3

Or, even better yet:

ARC Trooper X4
Yoda X3
Anakin X2
Assaj Ventress X2
Red Battle Droid X1 (Clone Wars packaging)

 :P

Post by: Mainland05 on October 10, 2003, 10:56 AM
Nice I, like that: But i was wondering what i think would be pretty cool, is if they would make a whole case of 1x each figure, at the end of the Clone Wars line, and just have 2x Battle Droids like this:

1x ARC Trooper
1x Yoda
1x Anakin Skywalker
1x Asajj Ventress
1x Durge
1x Obi-Wan Kenobi
1x Mace Windu
1x Saesee Tiin
1x Kit Fisto
1x Super Articulated Clone Trooper
2x Battle Droid (Red) (Clone Wars Packaging)

that would be awesome.!

I thought I read somewhere there were hundreds of an ARC Trooper army, and they were all personally trained by Jango Fett (before his death).  Since ARC Troopers are EU for the time being, I'm just buidling it as big as possible.  A lot of people have given the ARC trooper a lot of crap, but I really like them a lot!
Title: Re: As expected... PEGWARMERS!
Post by: Mainland05 on October 10, 2003, 12:55 PM
I agree with you Chris, the ARC Trooper is pretty awesome, i think it is over all the best Clone Trooper figure ever made.
Title: Re: As expected... PEGWARMERS!
Post by: Jimmy on October 10, 2003, 01:17 PM
I thought I read somewhere there were hundreds of an ARC Trooper army, and they were all personally trained by Jango Fett (before his death).  

Not sure t be honest... but a few people I know that read the comics said that most that were hinted at were I think four.
Which I can believe since on the card back it mentions...

"Only a select number of ARC Troopers were bred and trained..."

But hey it's all good in how you want to do things...

As for him being the coolest CW fig... I'd say he is for now... but there is only three out (not counting Clones or deluxe).

I think that once the others hit it'll be a toss up between Asajj or Kit...
Title: Re: As expected... PEGWARMERS!
Post by: Muftak on October 11, 2003, 07:25 AM
I think a part of the strategy in releasing these figures was to intentionally make them pegwarmers. As someone mentioned above, this is the only case shipping these three figures, and the line is gonna be around through Christmas. Theoretically, Hasbro wants kids to be able to buy Anakins and Yodas (while collectors keep buying ARCs) all through the holidays. If so, the stores have gotta stock up now while they're available thorugh Hasbro.

It only follows logically, then, that Wave 2 will hit in slightly smaller numbers (since some Wave 1 will still be out there) and Wave 3 will be even smaller...but by that time the entire line ought to be available on the shelves at the same time, in more or less the same quantity.

If Hasbro refuses to ship figures at 1 per case (which I think is the best stategy, but what do I know?) then I like the "four of three" waves as long as there is no spillover to later cases. Most of POTJ shipped like that, and they cleaned up well (Until the Bespin Guard wave reshipped with Training Obi and Shmi.)

Title: Clone Wars OVERSTOCK!!
Post by: Mainland05 on October 14, 2003, 02:04 PM
Wal-Marts in California, are getting in tons of the Wave 2 Clone Wars figures, they are too being overstocked.
I went to about 3 different Wal-Marts and they had about 2 ARC Troopers, 2 Yodas, 1 Anakin, and about 7 Asajj Ventress, and 10 Obi-Wan, Durge, Mace Windu, there are too many of these Clone Wars figures hanging around.  And there were absoluetly no SAGA figures there at all, just CLone Wars.  I HATE IT!!!!!!!
Title: Re: Clone Wars OVERSTOCK!!
Post by: dustrho on October 14, 2003, 08:05 PM
I'll have to check out the local stores so I can find those new figures.  Haven't seen them in stores quite yet.  Thanks for the update.
Title: Re: Clone Wars OVERSTOCK!!
Post by: Boba Binks on October 14, 2003, 08:05 PM
Here in Indy Wal-Marts & Targets have a hell of a lot of Clone Wars Yoda, Anakin, and ARC Trooper. I have not seen the second wave of the figures yet. I hope to find them soon... if the stores can sell all the ones on the  pegs.
Title: Re: Clone Wars OVERSTOCK!!
Post by: CHEWIE on October 15, 2003, 12:49 AM
Whoa!  The second wave is out?  I'm actually kinda interested in the second wave of figures, particularly Assaj Ventress and Durge.  I think this wave might do alright at retail as compared to the first wave.  

Besides, as least the second wave has 4 figures in it, not 3.  So there are slightly less of each figure to go around.

 :P

Make that 3 assortments!!!!


I found a full case of the one with Durge w/speeder bike in it...here's the breakdown:

2 Durge w/bike
2 Clones w/Speeder Bike
1 Jedi 3-pack
1 Droid Launcher

and ZERO Clone 3-packs >:( >:( >:(
Title: Re: Clone Wars OVERSTOCK!!
Post by: Mainland05 on October 15, 2003, 11:15 AM
Yea, i agree.  But i just think the problem, is that we have to wait until they release another wave and then all those old pegwarmers will disappear.  But the only problem is with Wal-Mart is they have all the Clone Wars, but not one SAGA figure.  I hate it!!!!
Title: Re: Clone Wars OVERSTOCK!!
Post by: max_one on October 15, 2003, 06:42 PM
it's about time that this second wave is hitting the shelves. i've been looking all over for Asajj not realizing how they were being shipped. so now i can stop freaking out on employees that don't know anything!!
Title: Re: Clone Wars OVERSTOCK!!
Post by: Dressel Rebel on October 15, 2003, 10:16 PM
I just got back from Target and there were so many Rambo Yodas and Anakins, that if they marked them all down to $1 I think it would still take 6 months to get rid of them all.

Anyone think the value packs spoiled us silly?

I'm afraid it's only going to get worse as this line continues.   :-\
Title: Re: As expected... PEGWARMERS!
Post by: Brian on October 28, 2003, 12:09 PM
I'm becoming more concerned with this after shopping for figs this weekend.  At the Target we go to (the only store around with new SW stuff), they had an abundance of figures...but almost all CW.  There were six "regular" Saga figures (repack Leia, Maul, Han, Wat Tambor, Yoda w/Chian, and Aayla Secura).  Other than that there was probably about 25-30 of the Yoda/Anakin/ARC Clone Wars wave.  Now, I can see the ARCs getting picked up (there was the fewest of these), but the Yodas and Anakins I don't think so.  I'm starting to get concerned that this will (as others have said) hurt our chances of getting new product in 2004.

Post by: Valtar on October 28, 2003, 12:30 PM
Only thing that seems to be hanging on the peg here in Baton Rouge LA. are the Anakin Skywalker figures but if things go as they have in the past the pegs will be full of Mace... God forbid Mace never sells here.  
Title: Re: As expected... PEGWARMERS!
Post by: Dressel Rebel on November 2, 2003, 11:23 AM
Targets in MA have been great for a few months, but now they're not so hot unless you're in the market for ARC Troopers, Rambo Yoda, or CW Anakin.  It's not surprising when you consider that most of us already scored these with a nifty FREE clone trooper at Wal Mart.  I'm pretty sure these three are going to need to be marked down to $2 or less to even have a shot at being sold now.  I, for one, just threw these in my custom fodder box and displayed the free clones that came with them.  But even if it were not for that, I doubt I'd have picked these up at suggested retail price.  Maybe just the ARC.
Title: Re: As expected... PEGWARMERS!
Post by: Darth Broem on November 5, 2003, 10:16 AM
Well the only place that has CW stuff hanging on the pegs is my Target.  HOWEVER, they have actually sold fairly well.  About 2 weeks ago they were full of Yodas, Anakins, and ARC Troopers.  Now there are only about 5 Anakins, 4 Yodas, and 1 badly damaged ARC Trooper packaging remaining.  The vehicles are another story but they are not any worse than film vehicles laying around.  

Wal-Mart has stayed away from getting CW in my area.  They only had the initial value packs and those are long gone.  Toys R Us just has the Launchers in my area and that's it for CW for them.  They had 3 packs for maybe a week and they are all gone.  I have not been to K-B in the past 2 weeks.    
Title: Re: As expected... PEGWARMERS!
Post by: Brian on November 11, 2003, 04:51 PM
Well, I'm surprised.  The last time I went shopping (and I think I posted here), I was worried because the pegs at our closest Target were jammed full of the Wave 1 Clone Wars figures.  Now, my wife and I went shopping this past weekend again (two weeks later), and almost all of those figures were gone, there was only a handful left.  Granted, there were basically no "regular" saga figures on the pegs (except for two repackaged Jangos), but I guess I was just surprised to see Anakin and Yoda (not as much the ARC) selling as well as they have.  Maybe the cartoon is generating more interest, and since the 'toon figures aren't out yet, people are settling for these instead.  Who knows, but I still just hope there isn't a glut around the time the Saga Theme waves start hitting.  I don't want to miss out on those, and Target has been the only place around here with much new for a long time.
Title: Re: As expected... PEGWARMERS!
Post by: JediMAC on April 8, 2004, 04:37 AM
Though my original post here was in reference to the regular CW line, it now (and has for a while) also applies to the Animated line too.  We've got PILES of the animated figures at every local Target, at least 50 or more at every one of 'em - along with ZERO regular Saga figures.   >:(

I'd say that about 90% of the pegwarming CW figures are Dooku and Durge, but there's still the occasional Clonetroopers and Yodas to be found here and there.  Surprisingly though, Wave 1 has pretty much completely dried up!  I don't know if they really sold out, 'cause it seemed like they were pegwarming just as badly only a month or two ago.  I wonder if they were all shipped back, or what?  They sure never went on clearance...

Regardless, I have to wonder if all this Clone Wars pegwarming crap that we've had over the past several months is the root of the problem for the Target stores passing on the regular Saga line for the most part, as I had feared long ago.

Whatchya' think?  How bad are the CW pegwarmers in your area?
Title: Re: As expected... PEGWARMERS!
Post by: Mikey D on April 8, 2004, 07:09 AM
Yep, animated CW are pegwarming - mostly Mace, Obi Wan from wave 1 and Dooku and Durge from 2.  Yoda and Clonetrooper are almost non existant.  I only saw the CT once and the Yoda a few times - although once I got them all, I stopped looking.
Title: Re: As expected... PEGWARMERS!
Post by: Playgirl on April 8, 2004, 12:32 PM
This was the case for me too until about a week ago. Animated figures took up about 10 pegs, about 10 figures deep.  Luckily, this wasnt in the way of the saga, but saga was dry anyway.  Now target has gotten some new saga in finally, have to say im pretty excited.
Title: Re: As expected... PEGWARMERS!
Post by: Jesse James on April 10, 2004, 12:04 AM
I think it's REALLY itneresting that the regular CW line didn't pegwarm for long.  They never even saw a sale before they were cleared from shelves here, and Wave 2 and 3 were both pretty scarce, though Wave 3 was much more abundant than 2...  Save the SA Clone who of course came and went like the wind.

Wave 2 I never saw in its entirety actually though.  Never got a basic Durge for his secondary weapons I wanted.  :(  Saw ONE Assajj thankfully and nabbed her.  Among the best of the series (Obi, ARC, Sae See, and SA Clone of course are the others I'd label as "great", as well as the Deluxe Durge).  

I was impressed, and I could stand a second series of figures and vehicles personally.

I'd take a:

-Soft goods "pilot" Assajj
-Dooku
-Gen. Grevious
-Shistavanean Wolfman Jedi
-Shaggy Jedi
-Ki-Adi Mundi
-New Mace (done more to the Cartoons duds)
-New Anakin (done more to the toon duds with removable shirt and cloak)
-SA ARC Trooper with holster, soft goods, and small blaster.
-SA Clone with shoulder RPG, and standard rifle
-Red Battledroid (with bendable knees as well as the rest of the articulation).
-Republic Trooper (just something I'd dig).
-Clone Pilot (using SA body).
-Super Battle Droid (with pivoting right arm added to the Saga sculpt).
-IG-Droid with Swoop and Lance.
-General Obi-Wan Kenobi.
-Yoda (done in Clone Wars garb).
-Padme (Snow gear)
-Capt. Typho (Snow Gear)
-Mine Droid
-Retooled Spider Droid

And for vehicles I'd take:

-Clone Starfighter with SA CLone Pilot Pack-in.
-Assajj's Fan Fighter with Pilot Assajj
-SA Clone with Speederbike (retool the bike to be smaller and sturdier, and the trooper's hip joints so he can ride it but still be useful off it)
-Obi-Wan with bike.
-Geonosian Fighter with Droid Pilot.

A long list, but this series was just that good...  I'd take some new things from it for sure.

The "regular" Clone Wars line is all but gone around here, and has been for awhile, except for a few vehicles here and there.  The basic figures have been gone for quite some time though.  However, I'll agree with many others, the Animated Clone Wars figures are clogging up the Targets like mad around here.  I haven't ever seen a Clonetrooper here (thanks Matt!), and have only seen Yoda on a couple of occasions.  The worst pegwarming offenders around here have been Durge, Dooku, Ventress, and Mace.

Great list, Jesse!

I'd also like some more non-animated Clone Wars figures. I think this was the most under-utilized line of figures we've ever seen. We really should have gotten more army builders with less main characters.

-SA Clone with Speederbike (retool the bike to be smaller and sturdier, and the trooper's hip joints so he can ride it but still be useful off it)
-Obi-Wan with bike.
-Geonosian Fighter with Droid Pilot.

A long list, but this series was just that good...  I'd take some new things from it for sure.

Great list, Jesse!

I'd also like some more non-animated Clone Wars figures. I think this was the most under-utilized line of figures we've ever seen. We really should have gotten more army builders with less main characters.

Great list!

Although I am going to add in :

Shaak Ti
Aayla Secura
Darth Sidious

well, since that wasnt an animated list, we dont need aayla secura.  i guess you could argue that we dotn need shaak ti either, but her figure was really bad so it would be ok if we got another better one.
