the wave 5 cp's have been hitting my area hard in the last 2 day's,but what i find alarming is that there are tons of black head destros,i have seen at least 4 of them,only saw 2 gold head,i think this is going to turn out to be a not so rare figure after all, seems like alot of hype,what have you guys seen?

if its not gold it is a variant.


I have been keeping count in my area. I have seen 32 gold and 1 black

I have only seen gold heads, and I have seen around 10 of them. No black yet. Can you hook me up with one?

When the Wave 5 Packs first started appearing here, I'd see two of everything but no Black Mask Destro at all. Now all I ever see are the Tripwire/CC and Falcon/Nemesis sets with no Destro/IGs at all. I am still looking to pick one of the Black Mask sets up. Not because I care about the worth of the variant. I want to have an extra IG and the black mask will look cool opened.

I'd be willing to buy one of those black head Destro's if you see any more (and dont mind shipping it to me, obviously I'd pay whatever costs are involved)

I have a feeling this isn't really a rare variant, but the scalpers and those who live off our need are busy making it one.

I've seen one black destro out of about 4 cases around these parts. Everything else was gold!

If they're shipping in equal numbers per case, how can they be rare variants?

My guess is collectors and scalpers are grabbing the black heads asap because of the current inflated value of an "omg rare" figure.

out of two cases, it was as the ratio has been stated before by myself and others; seen 3 golds and 1 black.

I have seen one but then again I have been beat to other stores where I have found remains of W5 comic packs. I dont think is that serious right now. Maybe in about 2 months.

Give it time you guys, it will be rare when it stops shipping after this month. I am going to buy as many as i can find. And trade or sell all them loose or momc to whoever needs them around x mas time.

I OPEN MINE UP, AND THIS COMIC PACK IS BY FAR THE BEST. BOTH FIGS ARE AWESOME. THE BLACK HEADED DESTRO IS A 9 OUT OF 10, AND IRON GRENADIER IS A 10 OUT 10.

I AM GOING TO NEED 9 MORE OF THIS TROOP BUILDER, FOR MY DESTRO ESCORT.

I think w5 cp's has been pumping out Harder than the previous waves. and Blk Headed Destro is pretty rare.

the ratio is 1/4 for the black head destro.

im tellin you guy's,they are everywhere here in pittsburgh,i say the bat is much more of a rare figure than the black head destro,i have only seen 3 bats in 2 months and 4 or 5 black head destros in 2 days!!!

I started seeing wv 5 cp about 2 weeks ago now and since then I have only found 3 Black Head destro, everything else has been Gold head destro/IG. I hit anywhere from 3-7 stores a day and see new cases of the wv5 cp put out but as stated above, they are almost always gold head destros..

Well I'm sure you could make a few tankers happy by picking them up. if you are still able to find them!

bats for destros anyone????

I haven't ever seen a BAT, a Snow Serpent, or a Black Masked Destro, and I go shopping at least once a day, five days a week. With the huge amount of W5 comic packs I've seen, I have to believe that BMD is no more rare than a BAT is. It's just that everyone is buying these particular figures up to raise prices. I swear they're almost like oil company CEOs.

my job inables me to travel a bit,so i am able to hit at least 4 to 5 stores a day(for the most part),and as far as my corner of the world is concearned,bmd is a much easier score than the bat,those bats are ghosts on the pegs....

Gotcha. Its rarity still seems vastly over hyped. Good luck to all those trying to get one.

agreed

at least till the next shipment, then I think it will be 0/4

the black head is supposed to only be in the first production run. they stated as much at the JoeCon. I haven't even seen wave 5 yet.

I have an extra BAT and Snow Serpent MOC if someone was interested in making a trade for an IG/Black Destro...probably not, but I figured I'd throw that out there.

sounds good...I've been looking, but haven't seen any signs of wave 5 CPs in RI/southeastern MA. The IG/Black Destro variant pack is the only one I'm interested in either. Especially if Falcon and Tripwire end up as singles as rumored.

Me too!!

And today found my first BHD! By like 5 seconds i would've missed out on him since some other guy got to the joes and went through all the CPs only to see him in my cart.

so the black head destro is hard to find. wow, today i went to wal-mart and found a shite load of them along with the rest, but i pick up hawk and some others, i don't see nothing to a black head destro,

dcooper

I think the black headed destro is rare. I found mine at tru as soon as they opened. I went in and looked at it and i thought it had to be a mistake because i had never seen one before. Pulled it off and saw falcon/enforcer, cc/tripwire, and the gold destro/ig. Picked them up in one swoop. It seems like they are everywhere else but where we live. Why not pick them up and hook up the fellow tankers? I have extras of alot of joes, so if you are looking for some let me know.

I can vouch for that. I got my hands on them today, and there were 2 blacks and 1 gold that I saw. If they're shipping 4:1, then it's not really a variant. Variants are supposed to be rare - not just slightly less. I still haven't seen a BAT or a Snow Serpent anywhere. And I'm pretty miffed over it. I'd gladly trade a black head Destro for one of each.

Maybe the Gold head is the Variant...........

Just a thought.........

35 + $ is out of my grasp.

I wonder if this is going to be one of those regional things. I've seen one black head Destro (which I bought) and then numerous golds down here.
