I recall the day I saw a HISS tank driver hanging on the peg at a local Target and decided to not get him since I already had two on order on the way to my house for the two HISS tanks I bought.
I wasn't planning on getting anymore of these guys until Major Bludd came out and the customs using the HISS driver torso started to come out. Now when I want to get one more to make my own better custom version of Major Bludd, he's nowhere to be seen. >_< Since then I've seen all of Wave 8 multiple times and Vipers abound, but no HISS drivers. Man... You read of how people make such cool custom (and better) versions of some characters in the custom gallery on here and then when you want to make them yourself, you can't find the figures needed to make them. It's the same thing with Steeler... A lot of people are making him with the Wild Bill/Ace torso, yet no I can't find either of those figures either. Ugh. I'm just voicing my annoyance at myself for passing up on these figures when I saw them on shelves due to already having them in my collection and not thinking of customs to use them for really now. I'm sure though I'm not the only one with issues like this though. Heck, the only way I got my Wave 4 comic packs was online as I've not seen them anywhere around here once. |

youre doing better than me......ive never seen any of that wave, much less the HISS driver at retail.
i have a driver in dallas my friend picked up for me, and i own one i won in an auction that included the 25th driver and a complete '83 HISS. but that whole wave seems to have skipped my area totally. |

Maybe it is regional in its scarcity. I found a peg of GI Joes at my local Hastings. It only had three Joes on it...all HISS Drivers. Then I went over to K-Mart and found another HISS Driver. So I picked up 4 in all this past weekend, to give me a total of 11. I'm saving them for when my HISS tanks come in.
Wild Bill, on the other hand, seems quite scarce.

It seems like Wave 8 unloaded and no more Wave 7 figs are left around here. I hope they ship more Wave 7.

I'm sure the hiss driver will be inserted into some future revision. It seems like everything else has at some point.

I just realized that I want more of these too. I already have 180. Maybe 5 more what do you think? Just kidding. I had 4 but traded 2 now I have 2. The Bludd custom does look cool.

Yeah, Wave 7 was pretty much DOA around these parts. Saw bits and pieces of it (basically Duke, Spirit, and Viper) over a couple weeks, but now Wave 8 is everywhere and I don't envision full cases of Wave 7 recurring. Hell, I don't even know if BBTS is ever going to fill my preorder.

I've seen the same basic situation happen with Star Wars last year when multiple assortments shipped at roughly the same time: A future assortment ended up getting out first because warehouses don't FIFO (first in, first out) on toys. Wave 5 07 hit my area around August, and it wasn't until October we started to see wave 4 07 cases hit locally.
