Yes Major Bludd, Wild Bill, Torpedo, & Rock N Roll are after wave 5. I can say for certain after Hasbro announced wave 5 that Wal-Mart has disclosed wave 6 or 7 already. I have seen the Wal-Mart computer personally thanks to my friend who works there. More information about Extreme Mayday is here.... http://firefly05.proboards39.com/ind...ead=1136935992 I actually have a custom in progress of her.

It wouldn't matter to me if the 25th logo is on or not.
I will say that with the 25th line it has sparked a new life in my Joe collecting. Almost to the point of it feeling like the 80's again....oh wait I'm still stuck in the 80's |

Due to the success of the launch, after the 25th line/moniker is ended, they'll be considering opening their perspective to other characters. What you've heard and what I've heard pretty much seem to be similar & corresponding, though not exact with details. But I think we're in agreement with the overall jist of Hasbro's intent. Bottom line is the 25th line is a success, and because of this success this frees-up Hasbro to venture off into untreaded waters, with respect to never produced characters. -Peter |

If that is true it would not surprise me this next wave will hit right after christmas, and the cg, snow job wave will hit during the holidays. Are there any of you out there that have any info on this topic?
i'd look for wave 5/2008 wave 1either right before or shortly after the new year: that one consists of: 65356928936 Blade Destro 65356928932 Snow Job 65356928934 Flash 65356928935 Snake Eyes Black 65356928931 Crimson Guard then there was the report of the following being in the Wal-Mart computer at the same time as the first hints of wave 5, which is probably a fair assessment of wave6/08 wave2: 65356929251 Armor CC 65356929253 Torpedo 65356929254 Major Bludd 65356929252 Rock N Roll 65356929255 Wild Bill and the more recently discovered: HISS Driver - didn't get the item # Viper - WM item # 798520 Spirit - WM item # 798527 Tiger Force Flint - didn't get the item # this most likely takes us up until summer ~ i'm inclined to believe the WM computer, it was generally accurate to about 8 months out in my Transformer collecting, which is about what we see here... i'd guess you'll see 5 or 6 waves in '08 before they shift over to movie stuff ~ unless the strike pushes back the movie, then i'd look for lots of repaints

Exactly. Unfortunately, we all have to come to the eventual realization that the line is going to fade out when the movie items start appearing. There's no reason to believe that Hasbro is going to want to take away from the revenue that the movie line will make by having multiple Joe items competing against one another on the open market (look at Transformers). |
