Time and Space Toys: Darla PALz Offer

[CMK1887]

Buffy PALz Chase Darla Offer:

This Fall, Palisades Toys introduces the first ever "block style" figures based on the Buffyverse. The figures, called PALz, feature a set of six mini-figures and customizing accessories. Along with those six comes a limited edition chase figure of Darla featuring a completely different paint scheme. The chase Darla block figure comes packaged with Vampire face exposed and features a red and black schoolgirl uniform. Standard Darla shows human face and has blue uniform. This figure will be limited to one per case of 24 standard figures and thus be in extremely short supply. Chase Darla will not be available for pre-sale, but instead be given away with purchases of $50 or more of gift certificates. To qualify for your free Darla, purchase $50 or more of gift certificates and include the coupon "FREEDARA" in the "COMMENTS" section (there is no "coupon" field for Gift Certificate checkout) when checking out. You will then be emailed your gift certificate for which you may use at any time to pay for future orders including "Pre-orders".

I don't know. I'm still debating whether I will or not. I've never bought block figures before but am obviously a big fan of Buffy. I'm a fan of the X-Files as well, so I'm also trying to decide if I want those figures....

From the general reaction I've seen, though, I don't think these things are good sellers, unfortunately...

edit:
I'm definitely not taking them up on this offer, though, if that's what you meant...

Speaking from my standpoint (I don't know what anyone else thinks, really): First, I'm not going to buy something like this without having seen pictures of the actual manufactured product. The 6" figures are different for me because I've seen lots of them before, so if I see a sketch or a photoshopping of a new paint scheme or what have you I know at least generally what to expect, and I can say Yeah, I totally want this, I'm gonna run do a preorder. But I've never seen block figures before this, so I'm not going to order based on a computer simulation. An extension of that is: having not seen the real product, I don't know how many I want. I know I want Giles, but I might pass on the rest, and ordering individuals all willy-nilly will jack up my shipping costs.

Second, I don't know where they'll be available. I've seen a couple places selling case preorders, but I know I don't want a case, and I would definitely rather go buy these in a real store to avoid paying shipping on them. Only no one's seemed to know if they're going to be in a regular store or not. And I feel obnoxious asking again, since I already have a couple times.
