Waiting on that Super Skrull Illuminati?

I shot off the following email to WizKids asking about my Super Skrull Illuminati figure - the Buy it by the Brick figure for Secret Invasion (if you're on this site you probably didn't need that explained!).

Wizkids -

I was wondering what the status is with the Secret Invasion buy it buy the brick figure. I know that the SSI figure was being reprinted and both I and a coworker have not received our figures.

I've received the last few buy it buy the bricks within a few weeks and I was getting concerned that this figure was not being sent out, etc.

Thank you for your assistance!

Bill

Their reply was:

Hi Bill,

Unfortunately there will be no reorder of this figures due to circumstances beyond our control. I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

Thanks!

So I guess they were closing up shop a while back because around late August they were telling people that they would have the figure reprinted.

SI was by no means my favorite set and the SSI figure would have been cool to have , yet kind of unplayable. I don't think there are any playable BitB figures and aside from the Dark Beast. I think the BitB figures are really more collectible than playable - hence World's Finest. I do want my Clown Prince though - but that's only 'cause I think he'll be fun to play even though he'll probably give my opponents at least 300 points thanks to his 'KO' ability.
