Just dumped my Flint preorders and added some extra Dukes. Don't want to get stuck with those Mouse torso's if that's the case.
GI JOE Super Wave 3 pre-orders up
- Thread starter Slaymaker
- Start date
I got a pre-order from Kokomo...104.99 plus 10.55 shipping...not too shabby.
Definitely want a few Kwinn figures for fodder. A while back I pre-ordered 5 ultimate Dukes from Dorkside...figured they would be hard to come by and they are great for customs.

Yeah the shorts are a cool thing to have from that figure. Wish the gun he came with was redone, or at least the same as the new roadblock.
I want five of the cobra combat ninja but the pre-order is sold out on bbts. I might have to wait for general release especially as I don't have a need for all of the figures in the complete pack but want all the figures (id want 2flint, 2RB, 2FF, 2Kwinn, 5Cobra combat & 5-10 dukes) at the same time.
I don't know why but that figure just doesn't do anything for me (Combat Ninja). I think maybe the coloring? Got kind of tired of the Shock Trooper/Steel Brigade kneepads too maybe.
Everything is back in stock for pre-order at BBTS!!!!!*
*now at more fan-friendly, higher prices!

I get where you're coming from but I like a small group of Cobra. I dont like the blue on the Cobra para troopers but still had to pick up 5-7 lol
Yeah, I think when I first saw them today, Duke was $9.99, the Combat Ninja was $10.99. Now it's $14.99 for all the popular figures!
Though it's making the unpopular ones like FF, Flint and Roadblock nosedive in price!

Yeah, well not sure what I'll keep, but went a little overboard in preparation.
3 cases, 10 dukes, 5 roadblocks.

I might drop a case, depends how well the other figures will be for trade fodder etc. No need for Budo's or multiple CC's, Kwins, etc.
They can stick to this wave all summer if they wish. 3 troop builders and several singles that I'd love to have!
Hopefully with all the advance notice about this wave, they hopefully make plenty to ship to stores and keep in stock (and for filler waves).
If we start to see these figures (Other than Budo and Kwinn) pegwarming, we know the brand is dead!

Yeah that's true, I don't think Budo or Kwinn will be especially popular either though. Big with hardcore Joe nerds but that's about it.
MAYBE the samurai outfit will help, but I don't think so.

I'm sure we'll have a bunch of people swapping once these get shipped.
It's really nice that the wave has a good mix of things that appeal to different collectors. You have the Cobra Army builders (Crimson Guard, Data-Viper, Combat Ninja), Joe Army Builders (Duke, Flint, Roadblock kinda), Ninja lovers (Budo, SE, SS) and ARAHfags (Cobra Commander, Kwinn) and then there is also Firefly, cause, well just cause.
Yeah, they had them at least a month ago if not longer...
My guess on peg warmers will be RB, SE and FF
I will likely have an extra of both CC and SS (not yours, Medd!) if you wanna trade for Duke or Roadblock.
Man, fuck all of youse with hundreds to spend on little plastic men.
I'm jealous and I hate all of you.

You should see what I spend on not so little plastic robots.

I've backed way off buying these damn things...I had a pile of loot when the PoC and 30th figs were coming in that went almost 8 months before I decided to ship it...almost $700 worth of figs showed up in a big ass box. And I knew I had a problem.
I am buying one case of these, a few extra Dukes and a couple extra of Kwinn and that's it for me. I don't even really want the Crimson Guard so he'll be up for trade.

Oh gawd I know!...those third party figures are insane...$100 a pop is getting ridiculous!
