I heard, from a VERY reliable source, that the release date has been pushed back because of problems with the factory and they want to make sure the paint apps are the way they should be before they are released...so we don't end up with another paint job like Faith. Personally, I hate that they are pushed back, but this reason makes it better with me. I'd rather have them a few weeks later with good paint apps then on time with crap paint apps. That date on their web site has been 8/29 for a few weeks now, I noticed it quite a while ago...I just didn't want to start another riot I agree... I'd rather the figures be delayed so we can get better quality. I'm still worried about the variants since we don't know who is getting them, or how those will be handled.

Delays from DST do not necessarily mean the quality is being adressed. Atleast not always in a good way.

That is true that the quality might not improve, but lets just hope that this time it actually does. I also hope that as soon as these are released DST lets us know what is going on with the remaining Deluxe Willow Variants as well as having an announcement for the next Deluxe Line.

Ok, I'm avid collector of the Buffy/Angel action figures and frequent these boards a lot, just usually don't have anything worth contributing from a posting standpoint. However, I do know people on the boards like to see the stuff that's coming out. Well, I was fortunate enough yesterday to attend the 5th annual Slayathon (awesome event). DST is very much a supporter of the event and the Make-a-Wish foundation and often bring special items to auction off. Sooooo.....I was fortunate enough to be the winning bidder on the soon to be released Deluxe Kennedy action figure. We were told that the majority of figures are still enroute on the boat and we should get them by the end of the month.
In the meantime, I do have a couple of pictures I'd love to share of the figure in it's blister package, but right now I'm still trying to figure out how to add pictures to this post. If someone could help with that, it would be appreciated.

In order to post pictures you need to upload them to either ImageShack, PhotoBucket or TinyPic, then copy the image code or the thumbnail code and post it here.

Lior Knight, Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'll try this for one image and if it works then, I'll post the other.

Going to try this again with the back of the package in case anyone is interested. I may have to experiment a bit. Hope everyone can click on the image and see them full size where they look much better. If nothing else, this does prove that the figures exist and will soon be on the way.

This wait is annoying. I'm really excited to get some new characters! These will be the first new ones since Dawn I think, and that seems like it was a long long time ago. Hopefully BCC does a free shipping deal when these come out.

Hopefully BCC does a free shipping deal when these come out. Wait a second... I thought the BCC was a preorder only idea? I never joined, always thought about it, just never got around to it. I'm still not sure exactly how they work, even after asking questions about them every now and then.

I'm still not sure exactly how they work, even after asking questions about them every now and then. They do offer lower prices for preorders and they then sell them as in stock items. They have tons of sales with the BCC, usually Free Shipping, Free Figures and % off sales with certain holidays. They also sell figures by the sets for a cheaper price than anywhere that I have seen. They usually have customizer lots as well for sale.

Alright, thanks for clearing that up. I got the wrong idea about the BCC, that it was a preorder-only store... meaning once a line came out, you couldn't buy those things from the BCC, but instead from the T&S store. I don't know why I thought that! Now to decide... if I get the membership now, what do I want? The Watcher set doesn't look so appealing to me, maybe I'll take the gift certificate... One more question. Does the BCC offer a set of all four basic Willow Deluxe series figures? Willow, WW Willow, Kendra, and Kennedy? That's something I'm aiming for, though I'm pushing my luck and waiting to the last minute here

Yep, they still have the set of 4 on pre-order for $48. Not too shabby of a deal once you add in free figures and free shipping.
