Yeah, I just got my BBTS process notification. I'll probably wait on the other wave processing before I ship my POL, though. Although I am aching for something "new".
I'll be on the lookout if I swing by Target, but I'm not busting my balls to track anything down.

shocker!
i'll be waiting for the other wave too...and that Bbi LAV...though, if i see any Hawks or Cobra troopers i might snag them
I'll build my Steel Brigade troops from what I can find in-store. Same with the Cobra troopers. The BBTS troop-builder prices are simply prohibitive. I love the new one, but I also was absolutely fine with the old one, too. I've bought every blue shirt with the black mask that I've seen (and some of those silly red-masked ones... Tamiya black and clear coat does wonders in making them consistent!). The new one is an improvement, but will still fit in just fine with the old ones. Not like it'll make them obsolete.
I've always wanted an army of blueshirts, so here's my childhood wish fulfilled as a man-child.
I'll get maybe 3-5 Steel Brigades if I can find them. Same with the Rock-Viper, although I'm hoping that Slayer makes a head for that guy. The new one looks fine, but I'm an ARAH fanatic. I want to make a few, one with the 'stached head, and the rest without a stache. I'll buy whatever I can find of the blueshirt, but the Viper is alright. I probably won't troop build him, or that B.A.T.
I love the B.A.T., and it's one of my favorite 25th figures... but dammit, enough is enough. I'm getting one because I got the full case set, but otherwise, I wouldn't even want it.

i do love that about the new troopers and Vipers, they'll still look good with their old counterparts AND the new PoC stuff...if i see any i'll snag them all, if not, no biggie...same goes for the Rock Viper...i havent pre-ordered any...if i see him i'll get one...if not, again, no biggie...he needs the head off that RoC glider Ace...
that BAT can suck a big fat cock

aaaaw, he's not that bad, just missing something in the execution but clearly that figure slot should have been Sneak-Peak (through your window) or Psyche-Out... okay not really.
his lower legs really are the low point...the RoC Wild Bill that came with the Dragon Hawk has some good lowers IMO...though not ARAH accurate...

lower legs… ARAH accurate… gah, drunken head hurt by slavish devotion…. to ARAH…*PASSES OUT*
ya those legs rock and a 1,000x better then the ace lowers. i have 2 of them now as i got that choper for 10bucks and the other off ebay for 3bucks.
got a Crazy legs yesterday, gonna definately look at replacing the legs, repainting and getting a different helmet
Congrats, man. I rushed my ass home yesterday as fast as possible to hit up a lead from the local sightings thread over at HT, and I was too late. The CL I was hoping to get for my dio was long gone. I should have known better since it took 4 hours from me seeing the post until the end of the day, but I was trying to be optimistic. That'll show me!
Check your PMs, I dunno if you're getting notifications via e-mail for PMs. You have to turn that feature on, it's not defaulted to that.
Right now, I'm at work and haven't had much of a chance to look at them. I was thinking of doing reviews for the site.
I may open Crazy legs now though...

...and I did.
In hand, he's not that bad of a figure. Sure, I could think of a dozen other sets of legs he could have had, but I'll do that on my own now.
I'm in the minority when it comes to the alternate Zartan head. I like it. I think it works well here. The card art is what looks stupid.
Hasbro strikes again though. They give him a sidearm, but no holster for it. Irks the shit out of me when they do that. The Firefly gun isn't needed. It's too 'old timey' of a weapon for this line...though they have given their fair share of figures older weapons recently. The other rifle, the one that came with the Pic Commando initially, is just as rubbery now as it was then...if not more. Stupid.
On of the first figures I can remember that has decent, realistic weathering. Eh. I like him. Of course, I'll give him some new legs.
