Anya and Tara Release Date (Now in DST store)

[JusticeDemon]

It's my pleasure to announce that the US Anya/Tara action figure cases will be IN STORES on THIS Wednesday (10/20).

Cases containing 4 x Season 5 Anya, 3 x New Moon Rising Tara, and 1 x Hush Tara will be delivered to comic stores and online retailers on Wednesday.

The exclusive figures in this assortment (Hell's Bells Anya, Once More With Feeling Anya, Anyanka, and Fear Itself Anya) will be shipping at a later date. It was DST's original intent to ship ALL of the Anya/Tara figures at once, but after realizing the magnitude of the port congestion in Long Beach, CA we decided it was in everyone's interests to ship the core figures first. It is very difficult to estimate when the exclusive figures will be shipping, but we will certainly keep everyone updated when we learn more.

International cases have been shipped to our international distributors, so those cases should also be arriving soon. Unfortunatley, a more definitive timeframe is unavailable.

Any questions can be sent to [e-mail]. Questions or concerns about pre-orders should be addressed to your online retailer.

Yay, this is great, finally. I pre-ordered these in July, so i can't wait. ;D

[Immortal]

OMG! Thank you sooo much JD for posting this! This really made my day! I can't wait! ;D

[dhoffryn]

I'm happy that S5 anya, NMR and hush Tara are finally on their way, hope the UK release date isn't too far behind the U.S.

At first I was a bit annoyed that we would have to wait for the exclusives, considering the standard ones were being delayed so they could be shipped alltogether

But I would prefer to get them in drips and drabs, makes waiting for the postman more exciting.

PRAISE JESUS, there on the way, God speed

Does this mean that Suncoast/Musicland stores will be receiving their cases at the same time? I know that they are different from comic shops, but I was hoping you knew when they'll be receiving their cases.

Thanks for the update, JD.

[The Second Evil]

OMG! I hope they come in time for Oct 29, Uk stores!! Thanks Justice Demon!

It means their distribution center will receive them on Wednesday. It may take longer for them to get them out to all of their stores, but that all depends on Musicland.

Yah!!! Thanks for the info JD, Finally thay will arrive, Yah !!

[DanMan]

MAC always used to ship the exclusives a few months after the normal figures, so this is no big deal in my mind. To finally have an Anya figure after so many years... series 4 was so long ago... and now I just have to make it through till Wednesday!

[IdoDoodle]

YAY! Thanks JD!




;D

[Alyrenee]

Huzzah! I am glad they aren't waiting. Staggering them is easier on everyone's bank account anyways (I prefer a staggered release myself...keeps things more exciting anyways...something to look forward to).

I guess i need to organize a shelf and get some space ready for them!

[Insanity]

Does this mean that Tower Records is getting them wensday? Or will they get them when they get OMWF Anya?

[JusticeDemon]

Tower will get their cases of regular Anya, Tara, and Hush Tara delivered to them on Wednesday. The exclusives will follow as soon as they show up from the factory. Tower will have to deliver their cases from their warehouse to each store... don't know how long that will take.

glad they'll be here soon

Just a little information from those who ordered their figures from Cinequest or The Toy Depot:

Greetings,

And, at last, they are coming in!
The long-awaited Tara/Anya wave of figures (Season 5 Anya, “New Moon Rising” Tara and the one-to-a-case “Hush” Tara) are slated to arrive in our warehouse next week. We will begin shipping them to those who ordered as soon as they arrive! Thank you to those who preordered for your patience and trust! We’ll hold up our end and ship the figures out as quickly as possible! If you’ve changed addresses since your preorder and have not let us know yet, please email us at [e-mail] and we’ll make the change.

Hell’s Bells Anya Orders
DST has announced that the Anya exclusives that were originally to ship with the regular wave will be coming in mid to late November. Though we sold them together and planned to ship together (charging for one shipment), we decided this week that we would bear the cost of shipping out the Anya/Tara regular figures separately so that our customers who also ordered the Hell's Bells Anya would receive them the same time as everyone else. This means that, if you ordered it together with Tara and Anya figures, your Hell’s Bells Anyas will ship later separately, at our expense. Consider it CineQuest.com’s Halloween treat! If you ordered the Bunny Anya or the Willow/Tara Set exclusives, your Hell’s Bells Anya will ship out with those figures as they should arrive about the same time.

Toy Depot Customers
We will begin charging your credit cards for your preorders this weekend to ensure that everything clears by the time the figures arrive next week. Those who pay by check or money order, please send payment to:

The Toy Depot
c/o CineQuest.com
Attn: Preorders
12 Sycamore Avenue
Salem, NH 03079

The totals will be the same as the original invoices you received when you preordered.

Thanks again to all who preordered the Anya and Tara figures!

AH I am so happy! We've been waiting forever!

[Ebola]

Finally! I was getting tired of waiting.

[abcfan]

This is so cool! I was hoping for a release like that as it doesn't break the bank. Now Ic an get the base figures myself and get people to buy me the exclusoves for X-Mas. Yay!

[Neo Phoenix]

Great news
I pre-ordered "Hush" Tara from SciFiGenre.com back in July & have my fingers crossed that she'll arrive in their warehouse next week.

i have to apologize for my city everyone. but you know that keeping business booming for the drug trade is a bit more important than action figures. well to some people, not me. god i don't know if i can wait a whole 2 days!!!
