You cleaned me out of 25th blueshirts! I'm actually glad they went to a good home. Now I've got an army of 30th blue shirts =). Funny how those extra pistols and silencers came in handy with the Steel Brigade running change. Now if they can come out with extra knives with a figure I'll be set. I think the Resolute sets come with knives but don't know if they're the same size. I'm hopeful we'll see the resolute sets soon.

Wave 03 is in stock with 9 cases and 8 sets of 6 on bbts for 84.99 and 54.99 respectively. The same wave "9" is on entertainment earth for 84.99 in stock but I'm unable to see how many cases they have in stock. Pick your poison if you want renegades Storm Shadow.
Better to pay bbts 54.99 for the one figure and five extras than go on ebay and pay 40 for just one! I'm going to pass if you can believe it. The opportunity is right in front of me and I refuse to buy renegades inspired figures. Hopefully someone on here is interested and can take advantage. I'm not posting this to the main forum since the wrong people would most likely take advantage. If anyone has been wanting Renegades Scarlett, Ripcord, Tunnel Rat and cobra Trooper figs and doesn't need the storm shadow, let me know ;).

I'm actually pretty much resigned to the fact that I'm never going to find Storm Shadow. I'm fine with it, to be honest, as I was getting so pissed-off going out looking for him and being continually disappointed I've just thought ''screw it'' and I'm a lot happier.
Of course, if I spot him anywhere (yeah, right) I'll buy him but I'm not going to bust a gut trying to find him, especially as there's other stuff (such as the Ross vehicles/PoC figures) I'm more likely to find.

If you can stomach buying all the extra junk, the full cases are still in stock IOK. You gotta pay shipping but there's no tax. If you just want the one figure, I found a guy selling the Renegades Storm Shadow for $30 shipped. Let me know if you want his info.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Makes sense to me too, I live by the same philosophy and passed on the set of 6 myself! Paying anything more than retail is impermissible in my book. The funny thing is toys are the only thing I DO pay retail for. Everything else I buy or need I scrutinize, looking for sales or using coupons.
And as far as $30 goes, it's probably the best price I've seen of late. It's not like these guys picked these up five years ago and they're so rare they gained value. I tried bidding recently on ebay hoping for a reasonable price and all of them went north to $40. I'm thinking when retaliation figs hit and people get their fix on with red and black versions, the white will come down in price.

Oh, while I am thinking about it, I am going up to Chattanooga for the "Con Nooga" convention; I go every year, and have a blast. When I get back, I'll probably pick up that Lifeline at my Kroger if no ones bought him yet, and bring him to Joelanta for tradesies, if anybody's interested.

Glad I'm not the only one who's not utterly obsessed with spending a fortune on my collection.
The other thing is, I find I'm more inclined to want a figure when I don't have ''A'' version of him/her, if that makes sense. Much as I'd like the TRU PoC Spirit Iron Knife, I have ''him'' as part of the Slaughter's Marauders pack, so I'm not so concerned now. I know that sounds odd but it's kind of logical - to me, at least.
