Worst news ever!
Bl**dy H*ll! I've just read that Hasbro will NOT be making any new Ultras anymore! Rebelscum: Have you stopped the Titanium Series Ultra line completely? If you have, may I ask why? I think fans would be more interested in larger capital ships, like about the same scale as the Ultra wave. Ships like the Venator-class Star Destroyer and the Invisible Hand would sell easy. And possibly unreleased ships like the action fleet Death Star and Star Destroyer? This is very frustrating news for me. I've grown to love and collect these die-casts and they died by market sales. Hasbro really blows. My opinion of why these line failed was how Hasbro package the consignments for each lot of wave. And this was more so to their Slave1 and Snowspeeder sets. For every 1 Snowspeeder, they packed 3 Slave1s. How in heavens name can the retail market push that many Slave1s to consumers? Thats why in ALL retail (OG,METRO,TuysRus,Seiyu) you can find Slave1s still warming the shelves unsold. The other ULTRAs are seldom seen because their ratio factor in consignments are reasonably match to SW collector's expectations. Man ... I was really looking forward to an ULTRA Star Destroyer or even Jedi Starfighter. But thats life .. it goes on. Labels: Rants |
