Newest wave of renegades/30th

[Rick]

Screws would be nice. Alot of glue is good though as a toy. These figs are pretty durable when compared to 21rst and bbi plastic. Connections can tend to crack just tryng to articulate a joint for the first time with those.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Of course I clicked to ship my POL on Friday from BBTS and they still haven't processed that order. Hey Cloud, check your shipping number. Eddie said his shipping notification he got last week hasn't budged.

 

[Cloud Strife]

Mine shows it departed Eagan, MN at 9:12 pm last Friday, but hasn't updated since. A buddy of mine says that his hasn't even been uploaded into UPS even though BBTS gave him a Tracking #. You gotta love the holiday season...

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Yeah, it's a clusterfuck. I should've waited... Grr. Of course, they got in #4 of the new 3rd party Devastator today, too. Guess he'll have to arrive when I ship the Joe 7-packs. Sigh.

 

[fogger1138]

Mine should be arriving today.

Well, mine was updated late last night. Looks like they're here in TN now. Should be here tomorrow.

That's the way it goes. I've had that happen a few times to me w/BBTS; press "Ship My Loot" and then I get a notification of another pre-order arriving... I've felt your pain.

Mine should be arriving today.

Take some pics, dude!

 

[Charade]

Yeah, it's a clusterfuck. I should've waited... Grr. Of course, they got in #4 of the new 3rd party Devastator today, too. Guess he'll have to arrive when I ship the Joe 7-packs. Sigh.

I feel your pain as that's happened to me a couple times, too.

It's tough to be patient, but I'm keeping my Wave 4 in my PoL for now...I haven't even had time to open and play with most of my Wave 3 figures yet. Stormy's still in his plastic prison. Techno-Viper is the only one who's broken free so far.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Well, I just got my "shipping" notification from BBTS. Meaning a label has been created, nothing's on a truck or anything yet. Hopefully it'll arrive before I leave for two weeks. I'm not so antsy to simply get them, but I figured if I shipped them on the 10th, they'd be here within 12 damn days (when I have to leave).

It's cutting it close now, and I'd almost rather them just hang on to it till I'm back from Christmas. Of course, they won't do that, soo....

I've got both Waves 3 and 4 arriving at the same time. I was hoping to have some time to open them before I left for out of town, because I figured I'd have the 7-packs to open when I got back from our trip.

 

[Cloud Strife]

If they created the shipping label today, it should be picked up by UPS this evening. That gives you 7 working days for it to get there. You should be good, as long as there isn't any weather delays.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Fingers crossed, because 7 working days may be too late.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

My wave 4 figs should be here today!

A guy that works at the local comic book shop bought 100 cases of wave 4... I don't know if he was yanking my chain or what, but that's what he said. He then, claimed that he already had 97 of those cases sold...

Sure he did. Sounds more like he bought 3 cases and you need to go in that store with hip waders.

Got my order confirmation on Lifeline, L&O and a Scarlett today. If it goes well I may get a few more L&O from Kokomo. Better shipping prices of all of them and ok market prices on the figures. It honestly costs me less than driving since I have to go so damn far.

 

[Cloud Strife]

Haha... My thoughts exactly, MB.

Well, I got my figs in today and they're frickin' sweet!

Something that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere else is that Lifeline's RESCUE does NOT continue under his knee pad. Not sure why they didn't put the rest of the "U" and "E" on his leg.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

that sucks about LLs "RESC"...

got my set today...i may unload the L&O...not 100%...might just wait for the (hopefully) inevitable ARAH repaint

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

Let me know about that Law & Order if you don't want it G.I. ARAH.

 

[Cloud Strife]

Yeah, I don't think MR is going to be happy about the missing UE on Lifeline. I'm not. I can understand that they didn't put it on the kneepad, but they could've at least put it underneath. Whatever. It's still an awesome fig.

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

Meh, he's getting a RIT dye when I get him.

 

[Cloud Strife]

I'm thinking about doing an OD Green LL. The tricky part is going to be getting the RESCUE in Green Drab and keeping the lines sharp.

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

The letters may just pop. Not sure if the dye will make it different since it's a different color.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Yeah, I don't think MR is going to be happy about the missing UE on Lifeline. I'm not. I can understand that they didn't put it on the kneepad, but they could've at least put it underneath. Whatever. It's still an awesome fig.

Fuck no I'm not gonna be happy... Sonofabitch! I hand-cut vinyl lettering for the custom I did, so I guess I can add the "UE", but that's just sloppy on their part.

 

[Cloud Strife]

It is lazy on their part not to add the U & E. Actually, they give us part of the U and the tail-end of the E... Not sure why they couldn't give us both letters in their entirety.

 

[K-Tiger]

FYE for those going the RIT route, dying will NOT cover the tampoed letters, merely alter their color. I imagine they'll turn out to be a light tint of ACU green.

You'll need to strip them off first.

 

[Dr Syn]

Okay, from Wave 3. Scarlett has to be the best damn female figure they've ever made.

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

Actually, that's what I was hoping would happen.

 

[K-Tiger]

Well, go forth and dye.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Let me know about that Law & Order if you don't want it G.I. ARAH.

will do...i'm gonna open him and check him out...see how i feel about him, if he grows on me...

if not, i'll send him your way..

as for LLs missing letters, i'm gonna see if i have some dry rub that matches his font

 

[darthdre758]

Quick quick review.

Nice sculpt. Great paint. I may try painting one to look more real world zombie-ish.

I haven't put the tendrils on him yet, or his mask. They could have packaged him as is, and I would have bought many.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

its figs like that ^ that make me HATE Hasbro fro dropping the ball on so many others

 

[K-Tiger]

Sorry, they can't all be candy-cane themed turds.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

lol, yeah, i'm pretty bummed about it

the knocked Sci-Fi outta the park, thats for sure...what a sweet freaking figure...

though, the cables that attach to his things in the pockets on his thighs, run to, and connect to, his boots?....um, why?

 

[Dr Syn]

Sock warmers.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

hmmm, that actually sounds kinda nice

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

this pic ticks me off...

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

Well it's better than looking at a picture of him as a club figure or a haul from ROSS.

 

[Dr Syn]

Ugh, the cut his alt helmet and parachute?

 

[Goldbug]

Ugh, the cut his alt helmet and parachute?

I really wanted those accessories.

I did find the whole wave at Walmart today.

I might have Stormshadow & Techno-Viper for trade.

 

[K-Tiger]

Ugh, the cut his alt helmet and parachute?

They changed the torso, too. Once they did that the parachute was pointless as it wouldn't fit.


It's a shame. The figure shown at con was awesome.

 

[darthdre758]

As far as I can tell between the Con pics, and the GeneralsJoes pics, the torso didn't change at all.

 

[K-Tiger]

And so you're right. I could have sworn it had been changed.
