[QUOTE="bosk70, post: 507983, member: 5890"] And why is the selection here so lame? It takes months, if not a year to get some of the figures that were supposed to be in the first or second wave. Maybe Hasbro just can’t be arsed with Star Wars anymore in the UK? Sorry if this is an old moan and has been covered before.[/quote] I think that I have read that Hasdro are aware of their poor distribution and have put new things in place to elevate the lack of product available here. I believe that they have set up Hasbro UK to ensure we see figures at the same time “ish” as the USA. If you look at sites such as Star Avtion Figures and Dark Side Toys they have all the latest stuff. I know its not a bricks and mortar place, but it’s the latest toys. As for price, we have always been shafted on prices when you compare to the US, and not only on toys! I doubt that is ever going to change! Pounds for dollars is the old saying...[/quote] I remember back in the middle 90's when the first of the new figures came out and we were all eager to hover them up as it had been so many years since we had seen any decent toy lines, there was a Hasbro uk and a uk web site from memory , where you could read about new products and leave feedback and get offers like the few mail aways they offered at the time, later on Mace Windu etc , that UK sales enthusiasm from Hasbro did not last long though and there was the same problems of missing figures in the line . Remember the Princes Leia, first wave not available so paid over the odd from dealers then loads available a few months later. :lol: Sold most of my modern now but still kept my fav bits and will buy the odd item that i like the look of but only at the bargain prices when about, the toys are just not worth anywhere near the top prices Hasbro ask at first release , some of the prices now a days are laughable :) [/QUOTE]
