I should have wave 4 next week, as I just got my shipment notification. Looking forward to adding Lifeline, Sci-Fi and Airtight to my Joes!

Hey, CS, when did you hit "ship"? I'm debating on shipping my POL from BBTS but I am waiting on a Transformer (part of the new Devastator) but I don't want to ship it and it arrive after I've left town for two weeks.

I hit "ship" yesterday between 5:30-6pm. I was surprised at how fast I got my shipment notification as I just got my wave 3 order in 2 days ago and it took 2-3 days for them to actually ship it once I hit "ship" on it.

Hmm... I may go ahead and ship. They'll get in the other Constructicon probably in the next week or 2 and the 7-packs, so I can ship them so they'll be in when I get back in town in January.

Like you, sometimes I hit "ship" and they take for-damn-ever to ship the thing. I just don't want a box sitting on my doorsteps for 2 weeks with nobody around.

I know exactly what you mean. I don't like having my orders sitting on the porch for a day, much less possibly 2 weeks. My order should be here by next Wednesday.

Not sure if I'm the only one that has a problem with this, but the pockets/pouches on Lifeline's bug me. It looks like they're on a strip that's glued to the top part of the torso, leaving the bottom pocket/pouch suspended in front of the lower part of the torso. I'm going to cut the strip off between the pouches and glue them on individually.

I went ahead and pushed the ship button. Watch, mine will arrive the night of the day I fly out of town :rolleyes:

Hey, I'll just be happy to get Lifeline! You're already plotting mods! :D

Actually, that does bug me too. I have to see how bad it is in person first, then I'll take Xacto or paint to 'im.

Well it's safe to say the Target I go to won't get anything new. They had put out a case of POC wave 2 this week. Guess it was hidden. Wal mart did have another Techno Viper and the stupid Renegades Troopers.

I'll be more than happy to help clear your pegs of any and all of those "stupid" Renegades Troopers MB. :D

They probably won't move but anything is possible. I was surprised that they even had the new wave. The pegs are pretty empty too. Maybe they will restock soon too.

i'm hoping my one lone Walmart that actually carries Joes will restock soon...they had the new SS, so i know they got the new stuff at one point....whether they will get more is something different though

Hell, you should have gotten the SS. It's pretty damn cool and I don't like ninjas. The accessories really make it.

so what new figures are on the shelves other than Ripcord, Scarlett, Tunnel-Rat, Techno-Viper, Cobra Trooper, and Storm Shadow?

That's pretty much it. But with BBTS shipping wave 4 now, the stores that sell through pretty well, should be getting Lifeline, Sci-Fi, Airtight, Zombie Viper, and Law & Order before the new year.

While those that don't will be staring at goddamn Duke and CC figures until the movie line forces a restock.

If I find one for Rattler/Conquest clearance prices I'll get it for the figure at least. Just sell off the plane.

For the $7 I paid on the planes before I'd get one. That's less than a single carded figure at Target.

oh i did pick him up right quick...he's a very nice figure...yes, another dumb a$$ ninja, but for nostalgic purposes, hes an amazing SS...like you said, even if just for the gear...

Has anyone's Target put more Sky Strikers out? I saw a new case at the one I go to.

every one i go to still has them...ever since they first came out, Target has had them consistently on shelves...

Eh, I'm not trying to buy one at any price.

this ^...though if they were free i'd take them...i've got nephews

I know, alot of Firefly, Cobra Commander and Renegades SE clogging pegs. I'd like to fill a hand basket of them and hide it somewhere so they would put some news one out and maybe nab another Stalker and SB.

I'm glad Renegades Duke is warming. I snapped the neck ball off of mine doing mods so I'm gonna need another. :(

If you ever need Stalker let me know Rick. It has been sitting since the wave hit.

Really? Sitting? Damn I found two and bought both. Never seen another again here. I'm talking 5 Targets and a couple TRU's.

Cool, if I don't see one in the next week I'll probably hit you up

Well what happened is is that I took a lot of the plastic out of the back of the neck to get more "look up" action and then tried to force a Blowtorch head on there and snapped off the upper neck ball. It's not a loss as the lower will still work with normal heads. Duke's is of the super recessed type.


I wouldn't mind back screws as not all torsos crack the same. I know the ST ones really don't like to crack clean.

I have destroyed two Torso this way... It's BS Way did they have to put so much glue on them. I may dare and try to crack a 30th troopers...

I see Hasbro is making money off of the tears of customizers.
