JTA Has A Wave 2 (3rd wave 2012) Preview

The good dudes over at Jedi Temple Archives have announced that wave 2 (3rd wave of 2012) has hit the Philippines meaning it won’t be too long before it starts showing up on US shores.  They even have a preview pic of the wave carded, so head on over to check it out.

This news is personally bitter sweet to me.  Between left over wave 1 Phantom Menace figures and a glut of AOTC wave returns from the $5 sales at discount stores, my local Target stores don’t have a lot of peg room for the only 5 new figures in this case.  Plus the moronic case assortment carries forward seven totally unnecessary wave 1 figures which will only further gum up the retail pipeline.

Hasbro, honestly did you learn NOTHING from 2011?  Start up your Q&A’s again so you can be held accountable for this.  Would combing wave 1.5 and 2 into a single case assortment so we could have 10 new figures to 2 carry forwards have made too much sense?  This really is pathetic on your part.  STOP STICKING STORES WITH MORE INVENTORY THEY CAN’T SELL THROUGH ALREADY JUST SO THEY CAN GET 5 FIGURES THAT WILL SELL OUT IN UNDER THE FIRST 30 MINUTES OF BEING PLACED ON THE PEGS.
