First wave and by the time a lot of people caught on about the 24th anniversary, the wave was on wave 2 or 3.
Heck, I bypassed wave 1 because I figured I could get them easily because Snake Eyes and Stalker were clogging the pegs. But notice SE and Flint really jack up in price and when I went back to the stores...those figures clogging the pegs were all gone. So, I snoozed and lost. But ended getting them on eBay...around New Year's for about $12-16 each. Same thing with Star Wars, Marvel Legends, Transformers and everything. I usually don't pick things up until something awesome comes in a later wave and then I try to get the earlier waves months later.

Makes sense, didn't Flint, Stormshadow and Snake Eyes get moved into Wave 3, just as CC did for Wave 5?

That and if they did, didn't see them on the pegs. Many saw SS, CC and SE and passed on those. Everyone complained how they kept warming the pegs but now everyone is complaining that they're not out on pegs. Funny how things cycle.
