[QUOTE="Joe, post: 383207, member: 440"] Overstock figures that never made it out of their shippers definitely make up a huge portion of the available carded figures out there that's for sure. Generally speaking though the earlier stuff (12 backs through to ESB) usually made it out to the toy sections of the shops that stocked them, some places didn't actually use "pegs" and opted instead for basket shelves that held figures without having to punch the punch (lol). Definitely true to say that there is far more overstock from the ROTJ/POTF period, especially in Europe. So many figures were produced it was unreal. One final thing is that in 85/86 and probably later there were several wholesaler type companies that specialised in buying toys from companies that were going bust or that had overstock because interest wasn't there. They would sell them cheap and buy them even cheaper just so that companies didn't have to dispose of things and would get *something* back from the cost of production. [/QUOTE]
