MisterPL Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I like the packaging. That should stand out nicely at retail, which is important especially since it's going to hit shelves in that null zone between the film's theatrical debut and its home video release.

bilbofett Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Yay! Viper comes with 2 heads. Really looking forward to these sets. Screw you legal wranglings, movie Cap is fightin' him some ninjas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Just picked up a set plus one (had to have an extra Viper!) at the comic shop and I'm the envy of at least two co-workers. The simple, black & white branding really makes the package pop on the pegs. Looking forward to Series 54 so I can make another movie Viper.

Onyx_6 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Does anyone have the regular LCS case break down? I got a call from my LCS saying that they had these in, but that they did not receive the variant. :worried: I let them know what the assortment should include, asking which packs yhey had gotten, but heard nothing back. I can't make it there until tomorrow to find out for myself. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Should be 4-4-3-1, with Yukio as the variant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) See, I wasn't sure if it would be like ASM, with a 4-4-2-2 ratio. Thanks, Zach! And IM3, for that matter. Edited September 5, 2013 by Onyx_6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Check to see if your store is selling the variant on eBay. That happened to me a few series back and I stopped buying locally for a bit until the owner figured out it was better to keep me as a customer who bought entire waves. (He's still swimming in leftover TWD Series 2.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Ouch! That's steep. Mine are $8.99 but I get a 10% discount. I'm spoiled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freaqualizer Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 My LCBS doesn't jack up the cost of the variant pack as long as I buy the whole set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valo487 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I tried to order these today, but they were out of stock at Luke's and BBTS. This seems unusual, is there a reason for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Luke posted in his Toy Store thread, there was a mix-up during production, and there weren't any Custom Cases created, so as of right now Urban Yukio is one per case. Luke said his Diamond rep said they are working on a solution. Luke pulled his full sets from the store (guessing BBTS did too) until there is a solution.

Onyx_6 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Okay, show if hands: who thinks Urban Yukio will show up at TRU? She is the character I probably wanted most from this wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Okay, show if hands: who thinks Urban Yukio will show up at TRU? She is the character I probably wanted most from this wave. I'm sorry she's turned out to be rarer than planned, but there is absolutely no reason for Urban Yukio to show up at TRU. We didn't accidentally put her in TRU's cases or anything, she was simply underproduced in error. We're working on a resolution, but in the meantime there may be some Yukio/Hand Ninja shortages. Sorry, guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I am thinking that this Yukio is the pack my LCS claims to have not gotten at all in their case(s). I will find out tomorrow, I guess. And truly curious, Zach, what solution options are there? FA Angel comes to mind.... :worried: I could imagine for Luke and BBTS it might be feasible to get extra packs of just Yukio to fulfill the custom case orders, right?

I forgot your shop said they got NO Yukios. That's just strange. Keep me posted. Not sure what the solution will be. Luckily, Yukio doesn't complete a box set, and I think Luke said he had enough to fill the set orders. But we want our customers and their customers to be happy.

luke314pi Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I just head from my Diamond rep that DST is making a special run of Urban Yukio / Hand Ninja for retailers, and they will ship in early October. This is a huge relief for us, and I am very happy that DST was able to sort it out so quickly. I have the full sets of 8 and custom cases up for preorder again, with an October ship date.
