The folks over at
Han's Hideout originally asked this question:
Just to clear up some confusion, can you confirm the order of the waves next year? We’re pretty sure 2009 (or maybe late 2008) starts with the 8 figures from ANH, then comes the 6-figure ESB themed Wave 2, followed by the 6-figure RotJ themed Wave 3? Is that right?While Hasbro did send a reply (click the link above to see what it was), today they shared a more detailed reply to everyone.
To clarify, the 2009 basic figure order looks like this:
Spring consists of -
EpIV (8 figures)
EpV (6 figures)
EpII (6 figures)
EpVI (8 figures)
Fall will see four waves:
EpIV (8 figures)
EpI (6 figures)
EpIII (6 figures)
EpV (6 figures)
for a total of 54 figures.
A 9th wave, the EU wave (6 figures), has slipped to be on-shelf right now around late Dec/early Jan so we are not counting that in the 2009 count, unless we are able to bring that one back in.
Got it? Good!
