>>7176703I thought Europe gets all its figures from a distributor called HEO who seems pretty good.
Cancelled and skipped waves were more common last decade with the 3 inchers but the only big problems that I remember since Disney took over were the 40th R5-D4 and Revan/Sabine wave.
Might be that NL doesn't get waves reliably because Germany and UK are bigger markets to them. I think it was just a couple thousand figures that HEO imports of each product for the entirety of Europe and it seems to me that UK is the number 1 priority. I remember when Revan/Sabine wave came out that they said Germany didn't order enough for the wave to be shipped here at all so german sites imported the stuff from the UK and US ending up with the customer paying the regular price of 35€ per figure.
I quite like the way collecting works here. Gamorrean was 40€ if you preordered early enough and didn't waste time. They only cancelled a tiny portion of the preorders compared to the US.
Jeditemplearchives.com always posts examples of actionfiguren24 and their overpriced exclusives but you really just need to get those from
blackseries.de even if the guy seems malicious I find that he is just stupid.
Though the release times get on my nerves a bit. Leia is a march release despite coming out in the states now. Dengar is january release despite coming out in the US in october/november. They always start wasting time when the movies aren't coming out. I wonder when Zuckuss is meant to appear in Europe let alone the US when he was an August release.
