I saw this Thursday, there's a few gaps in their guide, but it covers most everything.
Do like the ad with the MASS Device displayed. On that note, the MASS Device showed full vials.

Yeah they will be releasing 2 more figures that come with a vial. What gaps did you see though? I didn't really look over it real good but glanced at it.

I wish they wouldn't do guides for figures until the entire series is finished .... cause that just means that they are going to do another one later ........

I found mine at my local book store but you can check places like Barnes and Nobles, Hastings, Waldenbooks, or whatever magazine/book stores you have in your area.

I honestly can't remember, I just flipped through the pages at a book store. I think there were a few of the more debatable variants not listed. Wave 1 Cobra Commanders darker blue hood and the Black SDCC CC weren't listed if I remember correctly.

I just picked one up today at Barnes & Noble. It's in the craft/hobby section, you won't miss the Snake Eyes on the cover. It does show the W1 darker hood & names it, & while it shows the blue & black SDCC CC's it doesn't mention them other than the patch on the blue.
It's 5.95 US for those that are interested. The price guide itself only goes up to Wave 6 of the 25th figs.

I didn't see a picture of the Conquest, although they have the Rattler pictured. They also didn't mention the third Zartan card variant. Is the Snake Eyes on the cover the one that's coming in the DVD pack?
I have had some bad recent experiences with Lee's Toy Review which are covered in another thread here but the problem was resolved and I hope that the remainder of my two year subscription goes without issue. You can find the magazine in most major book stores, a la Waldenbooks, Borders, Barnes and Noble, etc., as was mentioned here.

So there you go, I guess I overlooked them, I thought it only mentioned the painted buckle variant for some reason. Either way, while interesting, its nothing that's not thoroughly covered by the 25th check list here.

I drove out to the mall today to visit Borders Books. They said they do not carry it. I'll find it.

Yeah that is the Snake Eyes from the next wave of DVD packs.

Thanks for the heads up. I picked #190 up from Borders today; pretty nice spread. Mine has a picture of Storm Shadow on the cover though. Anyway, thanks again.

If you could pick me up one I'd be very happy. I'm sure there's a B&N around here somewhere but not sure where. (Lutz, New Tampa, NPR, Carrollwood)?

Thanks for posting this. I pick up the occasional Lee's, especially when the Joes are featured on the cover or inside.
Gotta love their website too, as it says "Issue #182 in Newsstands Now!"
