Hasbro Star Wars The Black Series Announcement
Share
Good afternoon everyone,
With the new Black Series figures going on sale, I am sadly announcing that I will NOT be ordering any future Black Series action figures at this time.
These first 5 months have taught me that my years and years of Star Wars collecting fandom did not give me the pulse of the current collector as I had thought. Between the website and local toy shows, I just haven't moved as much as I thought I would. They would make more sense if and when I get to open a physical store. Too many action figure collectors like "the hunt" and the economy has many more just waiting for sales.
As some of you know, I go through EE Distribution. Items costs are high on Hasbro figures through EE and I cannot compete with big box store sales. I'll continue to look for a new distribution opportunity and maybe it will make sense again to bring Black Series, along with other Hasbro lines I have been skittish to add, back into the fold in the future.
Again, this announcement is for action figures only. I will continue to offer items that make sense, such as new Helmets and select Lightsabers.
Once I can move through my current stock, I will look at opportunities to find local lots on Black Series to add items to our From the Collection category.
I am still waiting on our cases of the Starkiller, Baylan, Shin wave and also Glavis Mando and Cad Bane. So those of you who have ordered any of those do not need to worry.
