Was touring the local comic and hobby shops today. They all had these figures this time (I had to do some arm twisting to get a couple of them to carry the Kirk/Klingon sets), priced from $25.00 to 30.00 a piece (ouch!---Kirk and Klingon were priced at $19.99 when that wave came out!!). Still, everybody said they were selling like crazy. The Andorian was outpacing Spock at most stores, except one local hobby shop that seems to draw kids of all ages (as opposed to some of the comic shops that only seem to draw creepy 30 somethings). they said Spock was already sold out, and he couldnt wait for his second shipment to arrive.Again,kids and teens were the big buyers at this store....the owner thought this might have something to do with Twisted Mego theater (or is it Twisted Toyfare Theater now?).....I think its because they can see there is way more play appeal in a Mego style figure, than the lifeless Art Asylum stuff.
Seems this wave is selling as well as the last...at least here in Calgary.
