So if this CC is a chase variant, why is it available in all cases?

What will the retail prices of these figures be? I thought about pre-ordering a case of 8, which will break down to about $8 a piece, but if I can find them for $1 or so less at WM, then I'm all about that.

It's plausible this case will be short dealt to the retailers like walmart and target like wave 10 with the clear wraith was. Like 1 case out of 5 or 20 or whatever that gets sent to retail will have the chase figure. I am speculating on that but it is a possibility since 90% of those who ordered wave 10 from BBTS of the 25th/ME line did indeed get a clear wraith where the ones that hit retail were mostly the regular ones. Either way I did not take a chance and pre-ordred the case of 8

for someone like me , who did not collect any roc stuff, except the pp snakes, and city strike snake eyes. this poc stuff is a lot better looking than roc. for i got my orders in for firefly, snake eyes , cobra commander , alley viper , and beachead. for my moc collection that is. it is the card art that has me sold , plus the figs are bad ass. to bad ass to go with my 25th collection. which is a good thing or i would be broke. the only thing i see buying that will go good with my 25th loose collection is about a squad of 10 alley vipers , 3 cobra rages, and 2 snow cats . after i paint them all white like the original snow cat.
side note i work at wal-mart so getting these will be easy to find !!!!!!!! Last edited by verzeihen; 04-30-2010 at 10:05 PM.. |

If you can find them. The Alley Viper at 1 per case is going to insure a suitable feeding frenzy. I still can't believe we're getting two Beach Head and one the hottest army-builder.

Unless he isn't carried over into future assortments (or those carryovers have him on a basic "GI Joe" rather than "Cobra" cardback) I really don't think Cobra Commander will be that hard to get. I'm also not seeing a pressing reason to preorder: $65 (and shipping!) for a set of 8? Ridiculous, especially when you consider the MSRP has dropped to $5.99. And being the first wave of a Hasbro toyline, these will be plentiful come August resets. Getting them a few weeks early is not worth the extra $2-3 per figure...before shipping.

Ordered the set of 8. As much as I love the hunt, I need to get CC without the headache...
