I posted it here. Of course, as I pointed out, who really knows...this could be a clerical error.

It's not dead ... it's undead. It has no soul.

I think this is a mistake. Last code before the prices says: (FEB101682) which to me can be read as:
February 2010 the 1682 might be a stacking code or something else.

Eh what does it matter? Its wasn't a good game when they were demoing at Gen-con last year. And it won't be a good game when if it ever comes out in any year.

That's the right way to read it, but it's how they handle all resolicitations. If something gets put back in Previews, they use the original code/date of the first solicitation so as not to confuse store owners (thought it does tend to confuse us customers).

I wonder if UDE is pissed with us for hijacking the MSS facebook web page.

Yes, they usually use the same code as the original solicitation.

This could be fishing by The Upper Deck Company (do they not use UDE anymore?) to see what kind of demand there is.

There is no (or little) cost to offer products for solicitation in Previews because they don't have to deliver product even if stores order it.

Considering they are not at GenCon this year and Crypto is, things don't bode well for UD. No NBA, no MLB, no NFL, no YGO, no WoW and most importantly... no Vs... Thomas will not save them.

Dude - what are you talking about?! UDE has a plan with Thomas:

UDE Press Release
 
In future releases of Thomas & Friends trading cards, Upper Deck will launch additional products including stand-up trading cards and sticker trading cards based on the popular preschool property* which is celebrating its 65th anniversary this year. The second Thomas & Friends trading card release from Upper Deck is scheduled to hit the market in November 2010.
If it works even 1/2 as well as their 10 year plan with Vs., little kids won't be disappointed by UDE until mid-August at the earliest.

Also, this:

UDE Press Release
 
“The distinctive engine characters of Thomas & Friends lend themselves perfectly to trading cards, and Upper Deck is the perfect partner to launch this new line,” said Gabriela Arenas, Vice President, U.S. Consumer Products – Thomas Division, HIT Entertainment.
UDE is the perfect partner because, like trains, there are better ways to get around, they're usually late, they break down all the time, and neither one knows how to market a superhero card game.
