Supposedly, these "variants" are the running change like the fixed 25th Stalker and both black Timber SEs. If that's true, then Croc Mustard and the regular BT are going to be the rarer ones...supposedly.

I don't know how the cases are gonna break down yet for these variants. I'm hoping that like the MU figures, Variant will be plentiful and possibly in the same case. If that is the case I may have some extras, they'll be open to you all first of course. I'm sure bbts will also have some before its over. For two and half times the retail.
Sideshow stuff is nice but my troop building mentality would have me spending waaaaay too much on Vipers. I'm good with the four inch stuff... They are pretty though. This is precisely why I do NOT buy any of the Sideshow troop types, and stick only to individual characters. You know you want Hawk and Stalker, Hicks. You know it.

If I see any of the variants, I'll snag them for whoever needs em. Just make sure to post here when you get them. I'm not particularly interested with either the originals or the repaints, but I'll have whatever BT and CM BBTS sends me.

Its actually Beachhead and Dusty from the Sideshow collection... and the Black Cobra Commander. But no, I've gotta start saving money now.
However these variants play out, I hope to see plenty of them. |

So here's a quick overview of my morning:
- My Mission Brazil stuff showed up. - I was about 10 minutes away from a domination victory in a game of Civilization Revolution that I'd had on for about 2 hours when the game crashed. Last save was about an hour prior. - Opened MB and found that Claymore was missing his flashlight. - Got a job offer from a place I interviewed at last week. It was a lowball offer to begin with. Then I find out that insurance etc will run me 450% more than what I'm paying now, for a net loss on income. Not my most favoritest day ever. |

Update:
Further proof that I'm underpaid: When I stuck to my guns with my asking price, they came back a few hours later and gave it to me. I haven't started a new job in over 10 years. This should be interesting. |

Congrats on the new job and the pay rate.
I managed to find the newest MU battle packs this morning after work. I'm really impressed with the Frost Giant in package, I hope I remain so after taking him out later on. I also got in my Mission Brazil Box set yesterday and looked them over after work. I've gotta say that I'm a little underwhelmed with Leatherneck and Wet-suit. I mean, they're good but the gear leaves them with danty arm poses. Plus the right forearms on both pop out way too easy. And Leathernecks backpack hole his vest doesn't line up with the one on his back... Anyway, minor issues and I'm still glad to own them. Oh, and my one Tele-Viper's comm pack is missing the hole for the wire antenna. Also, got my confirmation today of the Club sending me a carded Dial-Tone to replace the purchased second bagged one I ordered. |

Thanks, and congrats on lucking out with the DT. I'm glad I don't collect MOC... I'd be seething right now at the way the whole thing was handled.
I haven't really had a chance to check the figures closely, but I did notice the arm issue. I'm guessing that cutting out a little of the vest under the arms would give a bit more freedom of movement. |
