|

There might be a mojor difficulty in getting any SW sets at TRU from their first shipment. It is a common problem with SW toys in general, especialy the 4" figures.

What a shock! S@H in the US indicated that on normal items they receive a very small percentage of the actual sets produced, however on Star Wars sets they did increase their initial "orders" and since have increased them even more.
