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 customerservice@diamondselecttoys.com. Questions or concerns about pre-orders should be addressed to your online retailer.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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. James
