That's not going to happen. Personally, the nostalgia makes me like the white but a ninja trying to hide wearing white is kinda ridiculous. The problem is the accessories that come with storm shadow are awesome. Kinai, throwing stars, nunchuks, etc.

Well no, b/c re-releasing figures straight up isn't part of their strategy, what with it killing the OMFG HTF RARE! secondary market, and risking future peg warmers.

Well, it looks like there are only wave 4 restocks at walgreens. No more renegades storm shadow. Well, this kinda confirms what I've been worried about since I'm finding the same thing. I'm officially F**king pissed off. TRU and target are getting wave 4 in around the country. I've tried trading but people only want such one sided trades (there $7 figure for a $50 box set) and never want to trade for an item that has also increased in value similarly. I can't believe I've got to order this wave for 84.99 plus shipping and then liquidate everything but the techno viper.

I don't understand how you can want one when you had them, traded 2 and gave 1 of them away? I'll eventually get one I'm sure, but it's been more difficult than any figure I've tried to get before in 5 years of collecting.

For me it's a lot less about the figure, than it is about helping people out. I just love doing that. I know how hard and expensive it was for me, when I first started collecting in a big way back in 06'. If I had the connections I have now, I would've saved THOUSANDS of dollars. So when people help me out that don't know me from any stranger walking on the street, I can't help but find ways to reciprocate. Even if it's indirectly. Toy karma always has a way of working back around to you.

I totally appreciate helping other people out and I do not trade locally at inflated values. When I first met you I felt bad hearing how much you'd paid to get you collection since you didn't know about the tank. I'm usually trading retail value for retail value, figure for a figure. Most of my trades are mutually beneficial and both parties get what they're looking for. I have also traded items that were my last but only when I knew I'd be able to replace them. I've got to give you credit for the generosity that you've demonstrated. It's hard to believe you've had three and now have none!

Off subject here but the kennesaw ross has no new joes, but i saw 2 1:18 sized Sub Zeros for mortal kombat. Not a big fan, but thats interesting.
I'm glad the ATL Tank community is scalper free. I've been able to help people and get what i want from you all. Thanks.
