This is terrible news.
I wonder if eliminating the 6 inch line from the get go would have helped prolong the other line's life?

The only company I've found in recent years, to take any kind of risk and be innovative in playset development,was Zizzle with the "Pirates of the Carribean" line!
God, I miss that line. It really reinvigorated my interest in this scale.
(I was lucky enough to get the super-rare, impossible to find Beckett figure.)
Back on topic, every time I'm at a store, I check to see if wave 2 has hit. My targets are getting low on stock, so I suppose that's a good sign.

I have a feeling at eventually production methods will advance to the point where figures will be so inexpensive to produce, they they'll be able to supply EVERY character. If the technology was some more advanced form of the 3d printing/CNC machining we have now, you could easily do a one-off, or on an order-by-order basis. Have a main line of figs that appear in the stores, then on the back, advertise the HUNDREDS of other figures you can order custom.

What can we expect for the future of the 3 3/4" line of figures? Something as expansive as the Hasbro Star Wars lines in this scale?

That QMX is a picture of an abnormally wonky model. Their production models wont look like that.

There's really no excuse for the PM ship looking so bad.
That saucer is just all kinds of wrong, from it's upward slope to its mushy profile.
I really want a good representation of this ship. Love the design.

On another board, someone mentioned the 3 3/4" figs being $4 a piece at Wal Mart. I went down to mine with no such luck: still the normal 6.47.

The ad says nothing of the dates of this sale.
Does it start on this sunday and run through the week?

I heard it a while back that Corgi was going to try to distribute in the US, then Corgi had some issues themselves so who knows. I would be seriously tempted to pick these up. The character selection is just awesome and obviosly much better than Neca's lineup. I really hope something happens.
Agreed. I've been drooling over these things forever. I buy the NECA because it's what I can get, but these are so much more my scale.

I heard a rumor that U.S. distribution is in negotiation for the popco figures.
Can anyone confirm or deny this?

I got over it by not buying them.
No idea why they included them in the first line.

That's a very interesting idea. I wonder what the logistics would be to get something like that started. Seems only logical in a market of figures that is increasingly niche.

So I've determined that which stores break the street date is entirely random.
Of 2 Targets ... one put out a few figs, the other nada.
Of 2 Walmarts ... nothing.
And yet K Mart puts out almost everything.

I think that may be the case.
My TRU put the toys out, but nada everywhere else. Nothing at 2 Walmarts, 3 targets, and 1 Kmart.
I'm figuring they'll be waiting for sunday, so my wife and I decided to make a day of it. Get up early, go out for breakfast, then hit up Walmart and wipe 'em clean!

After playing with the phaser for a few hours, I'm having trouble getting the red nozzle to rest pointing directly forward. I may take it apart to see what it happening.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Went to my TRU, and they had all the figures ... except for the 3 & 2/4 scale! GAH.
So I picked myself up a phaser and called it a day. PSHEW PSHEW! This thing is fun.
