Considering that the original information concerning confirmation of Wave 4 08 came from gijoeclub.com, I'm pretty sure that BBTS felt confident in posting the Wave 8 listings. They didn't jump the gun at all. In fact, it was several days after the news officially broke before they made their listing, if I remember correctly.
That said, with all the complaining that's been floating around this board [and I'm sure several others] about Bludd's lack of original parts, there is a [slim] chance that Hasbro is once again reworking the figure to meet expectations. I kinda doubt it... but stranger things have happened. The substitution of Spirit may just be a place holder should Bludd be incomplete by the time production needs to begin. One thing that bugs me is that Roadblock and Destro seem cursed to never have double jointed knees. Last edited by Hicks_Royel; 01-31-2008 at 12:19 AM.. |

If Spirit does indeed replace Bludd in this wave then I think it's more than likely that Hasbro might be "tweaking & tinkering" with Bludd's body. Wave 5 (or wave 9 by some people's count) shouldn't hit stores until June or July which would give Hasbro a bit more time to come up with a more accurate Bludd. But who knows!!

But unlike you, I like to also set traps...hence the use of pre-orders. True hunters eat often and as a true hunter there is no way I'm coming home empty handed! |
