Never been too interested in these. If they were more like the Hallmark Star Wars ornaments (full-figurine, some with light and sound) then I'd probably get them.

Uh oh.... Idea... Chase Tara Chase Ornament? Uh oh is right. I'm not an ornament collector, but I really hope they don't do this to you guys.

When it's "up in the air'' it makes me a bit nervous. They made the Lorne figure, as we all saw, but that one has about a 1% chance of being made. Apparantly it was offered up to retailers as an exclusive but the catch was you had to order 10,000. Unfortunately no one would do that (there were only 5,000 DWW's made and you can still find them pretty easily). Soooo....last I heard was that he wouldn't be made because of that. Stinks but I just bought the Lorne custom from Flobbster so I'm all set. DST doesn't release the number production number of its figures, so where did you get those numbers? Sounds like you have some inside info to share. Are you friends with a retailer or something?

I'd say acquaintances not necessarily friends. Cinequest is located in Salem NH. I live in NH. When I began placing orders with them I asked if I could pick them up since I lived local, this way I save on shipping. They agreed. I helped negotiate their UPS contract as a consultant so he occasionally gives me updates and stuff like that.

I don't doubt your sources, but I don't think that info is current any more. The "make 10,000 Lornes" arrangement was most likely worked out while MAC was in it's death-throws and the future looked bleak as all hell. Things are different now, thanks to DST, Cinequest, and Time and Space Toys. Last I heard, odds for Lorne were much better than 1%.

I truly hope you're right and as an administrator with contacts I wouldn't be surprised if you were. I was told this information maybe a week or so ago. It was offered up by DST not Moore. Moore was already long gone out of the picture. Hey, the way I see it is that hopefully us Buffy fans will buy enough figures to keep this line going and it'll be inevitable that we all get the figures we want.

We'll have to wait and see the lineup for Angel Series III to be sure, but the only real options as I see them are Fred/Gunn/Wesley/Lorne. Two for Series III and two for series IV. I suppose Angel/Harmony/Cordelia/Doyle/etc are also in the running, but I think Fred/Gunn/Wesley/Lorne are just begging to be made to round out the AI crew first.

Well its gotta be Wes and Lorne next since theyre already "made"(theyre redoing them a bunch but still) Then I would imagine Fred/Illyria next(since its been said that she was scanned) and prolly Gunn since(if I remember correctly) there was some news of him being one of the others scanned. But we cant get to far into the future, we havnt seen ANY SPIKES and 2 DARLAS!!!
