A representative told JediDefender.com "We would love to continue to support the Forged Figure line and we will continue to support the line through Spring of 2007. Unfortunately there was not enough demand for this figure line which has resulted in a lack of retail support for the figures by our retail partners. My advice, buy them now because they will not be around for long." (January 12, 2007). Although the Cylon Centurion was produced, to date no retailers have received the figures. However, two figures, possibly misappropriated, reached private hands via an ebay auction based in the United States in early 2007, and several more from ebay auctions based in Hong Kong followed.
