Ok, not really a lets count thread, but im wondering?
How many of you guys are still buying these figures? For what ever reason, either custom base, kitbash base, fodder, troop building, or just hadnt got them yet. I still pickup all the black troopers I find when im looking for the green shipwrecks. Im kitbash troop building the green shipwrecks, troop built the heck out of the blue and black troopers. And have several of all the rest because they fueled my addiction between waves 1 and 3.5. why couldnt hasbro have put waves 3.5 and 4 retaliation out there on the market like this?

I just picked up another black trooper, 1 duke and another wave 1 storm shadow about 20 min ago. I have several of each. New DG stores keep popping up in my area and every time they have a full set of wave 1 or 2. I alway buy the dukes and black cobra troopers and green ships when I see them.

I buy any Cobra Officers and Dukes I see of either wave (I troop build the Dukes as generic troopers). I also buy the black CC because I turn them into Shadow Guards (I have 26 right now).
That being said, I haven't bought any for a long while. If the stores in my area have anything at all, it is the wave 1 Shipwreck and both wave Snake Eyes. I think their supplies in their warehouse have dried up. |

We don't have Dollar Generals out in SoCal.
I would like to get 2-3 more T'Gin-zu and at least one green Shipwreck.

I buy every Duke and Trooper I see. They were so hard to find in the beginning, so I always feel I have to buy them just because I searched so hard when they first started showing up. It's a personal thing now... lol
I now have 24 green Dukes, 26 black Troopers, 20 grey Dukes, and 28 blue Troopers. You can't throw a rock without hitting a DG where I live, so it's easy to find them. They haven't gotten any more in stock in about a month now though, so the well may be dry. When they do get new stock in, it is usually one or two figures thrown in with other product stock in those large grey plastic containers that odds and ends come in. Also, with nothing else around me other than a Walmart and a few grocery stores, DG Joes are my only chance at anything new in the wild.

I'd love to get them, but they aren't available in Canada. :(
