Star Wars Rebels is now past its second aired episode, but still no basic figures or mission series sets to be found! Well, according to Amazon.com they are officially delayed. JTA reader Mike R. has information directly from Amazon, so click through for his full report!

Right after I emailed you when I noticed the change in release date on the the Rebels figures Amazon pages, I did in fact get an email update regarding the change in release date for all of my Rebels figure pre-orders direct from Amazon.

The email stated that the new arrival/ship date is November 25th.

What the heck is going on?

It now seems the distribution issue with the Rebels figures has spread to etail as well.

Mike's initial email:

Although items do occasionally temporarily go out of stock on Amazon, the listing for the Star Wars Rebels Zeb and Stormtrooper figure two pack now says "Currently Unavailable".  Same for the Boba Fett and Stormtrooper set.

My pre-order is still showing as valid so possibly they just sold out whatever stock they will be getting for this first round....

But what's really curious is the Artoo and C3PO Rebels Mission set now has a pushed back release date of late November....?  It originally had an October 23rd release date.

My pre-order still says release date on October 23rd and has an October ship and arrival date as well.  Not sure if that will now be changing as the ship date gets closer...

We shall see.  I've seen my orders ship date change or cancel altogether through Amazon so only time will tell.

But is this just more bad news on Rebels figure distribution ?
