What happens to cancelled figures that don't make it into discount stores? I know they have to have thousands of figures that got cancelled sitting in a warehouse some where. Especially that night force Falcon. I can't imagine they destroy them. I've seen him on a card and I wouldn't think they'd unpackage some of these figures to put them in a box set. And we all know Falcon wasn't sent to a discount store. I want that figure so bad, I even contacted hasbro hoping for a miracle that they'd send one to me! (wishful thinking) seems like too much money wasted for a figure that would make a lot of money. Sorry for the rant. I'm just courious. If anyone knows the whereabouts of a secret cancelled Joe warehouse, I have bolt cutters. Tankers unite!

What did Hasbro say to you when you asked for the figure?

the couple of carded NF Falcons that snuck out were not 2 of 2000, they were probably 2 of 5 that were made and carded for production samples. basically, NF Falcon never made it to the stage of mass production.

Hum...i thought that if something gets cancelled, it's simply not produced.
Some NF Falcon made it, and that's all. I don't think they produce a ton of toys then say "oh forget it".

As we have seen, the products that do get made and then canceled end up in discount chains.

They did with the Target deluxe sets and Sand Serpent that ended up at ROSS stores recently. Those were fully produced and then they said oh, forget it. Then, they stored them in a big warehouse until a buyer from ROSS came along and found them sitting there collecting dust.
