Collectors of Hasbro’s Star Wars toy lines got a sneak peek of what new characters, vehicles, exclusives and more are coming soon to a toy shelf near you! The update includes a preview of the expanding series of Fighter Pods as well as the return of the “Build a Droid” pack-in promotion for 2013, allowing collectors to piece together droids from unique parts included with each action figure. The final slide in the presentation also reveals Hasbro’s 2012 San Diego Comic-Con International exclusive!

I’ll be surprised if I ever see these in my area. Distribution is poor where I am and seriously needs fixing. All I see are Movie Heroes Wave 1, Phantom Menace Vintage and Fighter Pods and they are going nowhere. Never saw Darth Malgus or any of those other cool figures in the series. Hasbro botched 2012.
Thanks for the photos – maybe I’ll start printing those out and pasting them into a scrap book instead?
Julian I hear ya… Samething where I live, sadly I’m not sure where all the new figs are going but they’re not here in upstate NY. Going to NYC this coming week maybe I’ll have luck there. Did find Bastila, Ponda Boba and Hoth rebel the last time I went!
i never found any of the 2012 waves in my area either except for the Phantom Menace. i’ll end up buying boxes online and selling the ones i don’t want.
It’s been the same at every place i’ve looked in Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. lame
I have only seen 1 new figure in stores since the new lines released in January, the Clone Wars Boss figure. No new vintage waves have come in since the Phantom Menace wave with Quinlan Vos in it. I live near 3 Walmarts, a ToysRus, and 2 Targets and check them regularly. I have been collecting figures since the Kenner days and have never seen distribution this poor, and pricing this ridiculous. From 2007-2009, I probably bought about 100 figures a year. Since the Vintage line was brought back, due to the availability decline and price hikes, that number has dropped to around 25 a year. Hasbro is really screwing themselves over.
I wish that Hasbro will make more Force FX Lightsaber models. Those are the best lightsabers that Hasbro makes for the Star Wars brand.
I really hope that Darth Maul Returns Battle pack isn’t distributed poorly and isn’t a sell out… A fully armored Savage…Hmh insta-sell out !
I agree, I wan’t darth maul and the nightsister in the pack. Only thing that will suck is if savage dosn’t have his double bladed lightsaber which looks like thats the case cause every pic i seen of that battle pack and the supposed lose figure of savage on ebay.. they all didn’t have the double bladed lightsaber.
I couldn’t find any new waves in the stores either except the common ones so i said the heck with it and started ordring my waves from brians toys.. you might pay a wee bit extra but thats nothing compaird to what you would soend on gas going from store to store looking for these things. I do how ever still go out and search for exclusives like at target, walmart, toy’s r us and k-mart.
