Here's some info for ya from todays 'Question Mark' column from Rebelscum.com www.rebelscum.com/article.asp?i=93263(Q): Do you know if there is going to be any Attacktix tournaments anytime soon or Star Wars conventions or parties or anything anytime soon? (A): Hasbro will have something at Comic Con, but there's been no word on individual tournaments outside the conventions. I'd give the line a chance to catch on, hopefully at one point leagues will start to form and at that time we'll see more tournament play. I'm sure Hasbro will do whatever they can to get the ball rolling though, hang in there (Q): Lastly Attacktix. I love them!!! I have a great time battling my 8-year-old son with SW figures. I wanted to know when series II is coming out and are there any plans to continue the line. I hear a lot of collectors aren't into Attacktix and this can dampen any hope to see future figures like a Qui-Gon, an episode IV Obi, or my dream…a redeemed Anakin that can over power the Emperor! (A): I hear ya, my kids and I have had great fun with the Attacktix line. As far as I know, no plans for a third series have been made public, but I'm sure they're in place. Series 2 will be on display at Comic Con next month, and probably in stores soon after that. Not sure where you're at, but all the Attacktix pegs in my area are short on stock, from what I see the line has sold, and is selling pretty well. If the numbers are good, I'm sure we'll see plenty more from this line, including many of the figures you mentioned.

That's good news about the selling numbers, and the possibility of a third wave.

SFX: when they say 'comic con' I'm assuming they mean San Diego?

Yea, I think it is San Diego. But I'm holding out hope that they will have something at the Wizard Worlds. At least we'll get some new Series 2 info from the Comic Con!!

Indeed; hopefully, we can smuggle some people from the boards on here to snap some pics for a sticky thread. Any takers?

I was told that they won't. Wizard shows are also losing attendance

I was told that they won't. Wizard shows are also losing attendance Actually, they're not. From wizarduniverse.com: Continuing the positive momentum and growth of its convention business, Wizard Conventions, the country’s foremost authority on everything related to comic books, gaming, anime, toys, collectibles and pop-culture, announced today that its Wizard World Philadelphia pop culture extravaganza attracted 27,000 attendees during its fourth annual visit to the Pennsylvania Convention Center, marking a five percent increase from the previous year.
