Shoot!!! We needed those 5 to complete the gold figures, (and Redwing II). Now we will have to wait longer to get them. I hope this line has enough steam to do that. Who am I kidding, of course it will have enough steam. Hasbro is leaving 4" ME figures to these small companies now. I don't need to buy Joe's anymore I guess.

Well crud, I wish they wouldn't have got my hopes up with that line about BBTS picking up extras if they thought they'd sell. Since from that statement, it sounds like that didn't happen here. Well, I will keep holding out hope until I see BBTS send cancelation notices for those guys!

While it might not be perfect but maybe a head pack with the last remaining gold figure heads that didn?t make it along with a gold troop builder basic figure. You could get the head pack and then the basic trooper and make the ones who didn?t make it . Or fans of the Gold could troop build a gold trooper.

Yeah. You may be right... maybe BBTS had a trigger. Like, you sell a certain amount and we will get it to 500...but these last few didn't get there. I just really want the classic guys. Since that IS Eagle Force. I mean, I bought a few of the parody figures because they amuse me. But to me they're kind of a separate thing....

As long as we can still buy them individually. Please no “exclusive” gold figures, forcing me to buy a full wave of figures I otherwise don’t want. Last time that happened, I left “Not Tracker” at the check out line.

Damn...!
We were SO close to getting the classic team except for Turk and Goldie. I'm never gonna see those guys up on a shelf during my lifetime. After claiming that BBTS may cover some of the near misses, this is the part that worries me about that quickie final message: "...but that doesn't mean it's over for some of those characters." Just "some" characters, not all five. Which means that someone isn't likely to ever see production over the next decade. For the record, I personally shot four of the gold figures up to the following numbers: Big Bro: 381 Tygre: 335 Kayo: 375 Zapper: 365 And I preordered one Redwing II, bringing him to 334. I think that one final, five figure wave courtesy of BBTS would have made us old timers VERY happy. (Ditto for EF Returns/Redwing Legacy fans.) But I knew that we were screwed the moment all those homage figures started pouring in. Whatever.

Just "some" characters, not all five. Which means that someone isn't likely to ever see production over the next decade. And in fact, if we look at the updated Eagle Force 40th page, it now has the five figures (Big Bro, Kayo, Redwing II, Tygre, Zapper) listed under the banner "Future figures in 2022". |
