Got mine this week, very next day stumbled upon an almost full case of Wave 3/4 on the shelf at TRU (have been to SO many Walmarts, Targets, TRUs with no luck.) Still no Renegades SS though..
I'll try to get a full review up in the near future, but for now just a couple pics.

So TRU is finally getting wave 3 & 4 in? Maybe they'll get more cases in than Walmart's usual 1 at a time BS?

Did you buy the one that is unassembled or assembled? I have looked at this playset for a long time, but the warnings about the unassembled set scared me from making the purchase. What is the quality? Would it hold up to a little kid playing with it?
(I know you will cover most of that in your review, but it would be great to know.)

Where did you get this? Is it original or a repro?

Missile base is a reproduction made out of plastic instead of the original cardboard by D&J Toys: D&J TOYS
It feels pretty solid, but it is glued together and looks like it has areas that were built-up/filled with epoxy to blend everything together. The image is glued on to the plastic backing and has some sort of laminate or coating over it, but probably could be made to peel with rough play, so in general I would probably not recommend it for younger kids. I had thought about buying the unassembled one myself, but especially after having the finished product in hand, I wouldn't recommend bothering. I don't think the $20 extra would be worth the effort to do it yourself.

Yes, was a case of wave 3/4 at the TRU on Ridge Rd in Greece. Previously found the leftovers (Scarlet, TR & Ripcord) of a case at the Walmart in Henrietta.
Kinda suprised the figure sighting is getting more attention than the Cobra Base though..
