I opened the box, opened 1 case and leaving the other sealed for a bit.

Pretty awesome wave. I think I'm gonna open Storm Shadow first

Night Viper was back in stock for all of a few minutes, this is starting to borderline absurd.

I am frustrated...I had 2 in my cart and when I went to check out they were out of stock. I have given up getting one for me, I just want to get 2 for my boys. I had a easier time getting SDCC Slaughter then that damn NV.

Same thing happened here I had one in the cart, and then as I checked out it went out of stock again!

Definitely a kick in the nuts.

Well, they just cancelled a duplicate order of mine (at my request), so a few more should be making their way to the site shortly.

The new CG, except for his arms, head and vest, is awkward as hell. Not that the original 25th was any better with his weird skinny-legs and giant holster-loops, but they didn't exactly knock it out of the ballpark like the difference between the 25th Viper and Blueshirt.

did you by some chance cancell 3 night vipers? I refreshed for the first time in a hour and saw NV was back in stock. I was able to snag 3.

Nice, I was too slow

I nearly sh*t my pants when I had a payment problem. It seems I havent ordered from HTS since I got my new card. I entered the wrong security code. 4 other times I had 1 or 2 in my cart for them to sell out when I tried to order them.

I only want 3 NVs, and then I can cancel my BBTS preorder for that $70 "wave" of 4, because I don't actually want Jinx or Blind Master, and I ordered the LJ that I was never able to find in the wild off HTS already, so that'll save me money and keep me from buying unwanted crap. The last thing I need is more figures to just sit in my closet.

hi all!

as you probably know,hasbro, after roc fiasco, doesnt release gi joe in europe...
so, I have to buy online my figs...
I am interested in troop building (4 or 5x) crimson guard, combat ninja trooper and ultimate duke and 2x flints.

I dont want to pay 15$ for a single fig and I ve already preordered from dorksidetoys, which is the only store I found with normal single fig prices.

Its totally fine if someone could preorder for me from hasbrotoyshop. Unfortunately, hasbrotoyshop doesnt offer international shipping...

so, if someone could help, it would be greatly appreciated! of course, I will pay the whole shipping cost to Germany and a helpers fee.

thanks!

Some of them are called ultimate edition, why? I might pick a couple up but just want a little more info

That's a hasbro thing.

The fans dubbed the POC SE the "ultimate SE" because it was the perfect version and we didn't ever need one again.

Hasbro started to tag any figure they could "Ultimate" now hoping to trick us. That's my IMO anyway :wave:

Yeah, the "Ultimate" thing is bullshit marketing. The only ones that I could consider "Ultimate" ARAH would be the SE, SS and CC from this wave. The Duke, RB and Flint may be "Ultimate" in Retaliation movie terms, but they're far from Ultimate. That Duke is pretty awesome, though, considering he's damn near a perfect modern trooper troop-builder since he has that fantastic alternate noggin.

I have to give BBTS props.. that was the best packaged box I've ever gotten!

Everything arrived safe as can be, ton's of packing bubbles, and the figs were stacked nicely.

Now to get around to doing something with all these..

The Duke figure's articulation kinda sucks, will need some work, without the vest it's a little better.

I agree on the 'ultimate' thing. They more or less took what we (as a community) were calling the POC Snake Eyes and just slapped it on everything. Ultimate Firefly? I don't think so. That figure is terrible. Ultimate Snake Eyes (this waves version). No thanks. Someone get him a sandwich.

On a side note. Are there other heads that fit well on that Duke body, MR? Three pack Beachhead? Joe Trooper head (mohawk vers), and other decent looking ones...

No problem!

If you haven't already, add it in your B/S/T thread so I know exactly what you want and need. Otherwise I will forget and get the wrong figs.
