$70 for 4 figures? Yikes.

I'd like to get a Night Viper.. but not at those prices.

Is this Lady Jaye the same as the one released before?

Blind Master and Jinx would be neat, but again, nothing I need for $17.50 a pop.

BBTS is becoming more and more of a scalper site.

On some things..

But they're selling the case of 12 for $114.99, which is LESS than the $9.99 MSRP (not by much, but still).

They just see the (very real) market for people who only want the 'new, good' figures and price it accordingly.

For the "Wave 3.5" set.. almost all the figures are good for something, so I'd rather order the whole wave and save some money. It's $114.99 for the whole set, or $149.88 if you pre-ordered all the figured individually.

Anyone know if Mouse's forearms have shown up on another figure. Nothing in w.3 has them and I need a set somethin' fierce.

He does, he does. Put them on Prof. X.


There has to be some good rolled sleeve arms besides Mouse, dammit.

Unfortunately, Mouse is the only figure out right now, that uses those forearms. I wish they were on single carded figure, or that Mouse. Heck, It would be ideal to have a figure that uses the Ultimate Duke body, just with the Mouse forearms, to have the option of rolled-up sleeves.

They need to redo every figure (except the ones that shouldnt have had them to begin with, like Flint) that had the awful looking Duke suicide wrist forearms with the Mouse forearms...

I keep waiting on them to make an "Ultimate ARAH" Duke, to go with SE, CC and Storm Shadow. As many damned Dukes as they make and will continue to make, we still haven't gotten a really great ARAH version. The original 25th one is atrocious now.

Instead of that wack-ass w.1 Storm Shadow showing up again in w.4 they should have done a carded Mouse.


Unique parts should NEVER be in a lame 3-pack. NEVER.

The only thing unique on Mouse, now, is his head sculpt. The rest is (or will be shortly) available on a card somewhere.

I was under the impression that they were the same lower arms used on Colton. Looking now, I realize they are the same as Footloose...but the Colton ones are still usefull.

I'm worried that the Flint is using the same parts as Mouse. That neck looks suspiciously similar. I hated how the scarf thing made the torso basically unusable.

It looks like the Duke is different thankfully:



Would be a bummer.. anyone have pics of ultimate flint w/out the vest?

I can't wait to get a hold of these bad boys. some custom vests and packs will look mighty nice on these guys when I have them sitting in the new bbi black hawk I plan to get.

Right after stores get rid of that peg warming w.1 garbage.

So never. Prepare to do battle for them in the aisles of Ross and TJ Maxx.

Dunno, I think he'll get bought like crazy by people hoping to duplicate the success of Renegades SS. CC, on the other hand, I expect to peg warm.

That's my expectation too for the same reasoning...which I also think will apply to CC...RB however, I think has been saturated since Retaliation started and will collect dust...unless the wave is like the Bruce wave and gets stocked once and then quickly replaced by wave one indefinitely...

Yeah I dunno, with 1 per case hopefully nothing becomes a ridiculous shelf warmer.

I think CC, Kwinn, SE and SS are the least desirable. They're really "one and done" figures. The others seem like people may want mutables.

Yeah, but I see the formers being scalper food...the ones they scoop up mutables of just to unload at double or triple the price because no one can find them because the scalpers scooped them all up!...d!cks!

If you see him, pick him up...he'd likely be good trade fodder...good civilian fodder really...plus, doesn't he have some pretty sweet arms?

Colton's, I think.

I think in time some folks are gonna regret passing/getting rid of Kwinn, especially customizers.
