This weekend I found Wv 1 at some local Targets as well as the TRU exclusives. I had been pretty excited dating back to Joecon in 2009, but again, I've learned not to get too excited till the product is in my hands.
While I didn't find them all, I did manage to get Beach Head, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Snow Job, Duke, Alley Viper and TRU Spirit & Quick Kick. After almost 2 years, I can say without hesitation that these figures are indeed living up to the hype and expectations that began at Joecon. Beach Head is simply an amazing figure between the sculpt and accessories. The same can basically be said for all the other figures as well, with the exception of maybe Storm Shadow. Spirit is easily the second best behind BH in my opinion. Hasbro has really nailed it and I truly hope they continue this trend of realistic sculpts and accessories. Please vote yes or no and if you haven't found them yet note that as well. I;m really curious to see what the general consensus is. |

I'm pretty impressed with the limited amount i've seen/acquired.
BH looks great, even if i didn't care for his weapons compliment. |

Only interested in the Alley Viper so I bought it. I wish they had left his head alone and kept the modern area head he came with. Wouldn't know about the rest.

I love the line.
My only complaint is the lack of inventory for this line at all the major retailers. I pre-ordered 2 sets of wave 1 from BBTS and I am glad I did. I went out hunting yesterday during the "official release date" of the line and found nothing. I hit three TRU's, 2 Targets, 1 Wal-Mart, and 1 Meijer. POC was nowhere. I really did not need any Figures (aside from maybe a few more Alley Vipers). However I was hoping to find the Vehicles and or Mech Suits. NADA Oh well, I guess they will hit sooner or later.

I have all of wave 1 and I can honestly say that I'm really impressed with the what hasbro has brought to the table with this new line. The detail on the figures is great, the amount of accessories is another plus and I love the lack of a rocket launcher with each figure. My only complaint is that these things are flying off the shelves in my neighborhood. Granted most places are only getting 1 case of 12 at a time. I went to a local tru and had to pretty much fight for te only cc av and firefly on the pegs. Maybe if I give the roc stuff some time to dissappear, it'll be easier to score some more av's.

It's just more of the same to me. 25th, ME, HOH, ROC, POC, it's all the same to me. The same characters constantly rehashed while others (like Sci-Fi) are completely ignored.
I'll never get hyped over a Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow Cobra Commander or Destro figure. I already have those characters in my collection. I'm done with them. |
