Just in case anyone didn't see it on FB, MightyApe has some of the more recent TBS6 in stock at the time of writing.

Just wondering about the latest wave of BLACK SERIES 6" - (the one with Revan) - are we likely to see more of these hitting shelves or could the moment be gone?

I know stocks do get replenished (hell, even Phasma became much easier to come by in the end) - but there are waves that seem to be understocked (Like the Ahsoka/Luke/Kanan) and some that don't ever appear to see the light of day (Hux/Atsy)

Keen to know if there's any 'inside' knowledge on how distribution works in this part of the world?

Cheers!

I don't know about distribution, but I found TBS Kanan, Krennic and Luke at my local Warehouse here in the backwater of Hawera. I haven't been paying attention to toy news so I didn't know they were coming.

It is really hit and miss. My locals in Wellington had TONS of the Jango/Han/FlameTrooper/FN-2187/Phasma wave and then heaps of the Kanan/Luke/Ashoka but then hardly any Krennic/C-3PO/Scarif Trooper. Then randomly when the Revan wave was due to be stocked almost every store restocked with Rey/Kylo/Finn/Chewbacca/FO Stormtrooper first wave from The Force Awakens so just really random.

My suggestion is if you see then in person or online just buy them. I know Mighty Ape has most the Revan wave in stock now!

The word from the inside is that the 6" 40th Anniversary figs (including the Darth Vader pack) will be available at The Warehouse from mid-April. :)

I hope that doesn't mean that we're skipping the Baze/Chirrut wave of Black Series. Hopefully the 40th series sells well enough at the initial wave that we'll get the later waves with Jawa and Death Squad Commander.

Up in Auckland this week after 4 weeks overseas and staying out Albany way so popped into Albany Westfield farmers and scored the entire reven wave of 6inch figures! First time I had seen this wave at retail as they didn't seem to make it to Wellington.

They also had about 5 at-act vehicles at $450. Even with 25% off far to pricey for me but my hope is now farmers are getting them they will be cleared out at a upcoming you sale!
