I have only found ROC figures at 2 of the 3 places i have looked and it is apparent to me that breaker is the major peg warmer. Anyone else seen different? Also who is the rarest?

The one store I went to had lots of Covergirl.
IF, and I stress IF she does turn out to be a pegwarmer, I'll give a one word reason: hair. This may be the only time I've seen a figure with hair that I feel is so badly done.

Agreed, but it is fun to pretend, fun to speculate.

I know it's only been a few days but between Target and TRU I've found everything that has been released so far no problems at all. If I had to guess I'd say Baroness is the most sought after at this time.

I'm amazed that anyone thinks these will do well until the movie hits. Kids have no exposure to these characters at all, so it will be entirely adult driven until the movie starts playing. Then if (a BIG if) kids like it, these will fly off the pegs. Adults alone will never be able to gobble up the amount of this product that is out there.
This is the same mistake that was made with the recent Star Trek release. It was produced in numbers to satisfy a massive kid demand, only no kids wanted it. Playmates and retailers overestimated demand. It will be interesting to see if ROC suffers the same fate.

Breaker and RoadBlock, is usally what I end up looking at. I did the rounds this morning and most everything was gone. I have 2 Toys R US and 4 Targets relatively close, all 3 Wal Marts still have nothing. I did find Baroness and 4 Ice Vipers this morning but without the other contents of those appropriate cases..so I dont know.
Finally got a chance to look at Ripcord this morning, its a prety nice figure. The visor on the helmet flips up and the armor is great. Reminds me of like tactical space marine armor or something. |

"AHH we're crashing, AHH were on a deserted planet" boring. Playmates must have though Trekkies would buy everything up, but they learned the last time. |
