18 Figure Case Cancellation Rumor Only True From A Certain Point Of View

The rumor of the 18 figure case assortment getting cancelled is true from only a certain point of view. As we had alluded to in previous posts, Hasbro is moving towards a "solid" case assortment approach. In order to make this as successful as possible, Hasbro has indeed cancelled all orders for vendors who chose the 18 individual figure case assortment (1 per each figure) option. That being said, vendors who ordered the 18 different solid figure case assortments did not have them cancelled (i.e. all 18 figures are STILL coming). It looks more and more like Hasbro is going to stretch out this originally-intended 18 figure wave into three (3) six figure wave assortments instead. And by wave assortments we really mean wave groupings since they will be solid case packs. That is the latest as of this moment. But the way changes are coming in left and right, expect a few more revisions along the way.

Here are all 18 figures in case you need a refresh.
