(Now I await the inevitable complaints of "no pictures = not true"...)
They should be coming!
Justin dawg99: cool were getting hit with stuff hard now ladyhump: I look foward to finding these locally in about 2 months. Unless the glut of previous packs sell down. Haven't seen Wave 5 more than twice in a 70 mile radius. Syn3sthesia: Ah yes crappy comic packs...I dont want those I need my W10 Fix!!! artiepants: wow, i still haven't seen w.5 @ retail... Greyryder: I'd really like to get that Wild Bill/Scrap Iron pack, but the only store I have close remains clogged with Scarface/Siegie packs.... ceraurus: Excellent! Thanks for the info!

Person is located in Kentucky. Not the West Coast, but that area does often get stuff early.
I'm really looking forward to these comic packs...I like that they're using them to get us some key characters that were missing.

Seriously, we get stuff within 2-4 weeks after it's sighted by somebody here on the 'Tank, so maybe it'll be different this time. MTN: I really can't wait to get my hands on the beachhead and mainframe pack. That one just looks sweet. Agent-GHQ: Even without pics to back up a claim, its good to hear that its in retail (select location). Of course you knew this was comin!! lol GARRETT82: Hey i saw these tonight at my local walmart. I didn't even know there were suposed to come out yet. i was suprised considering i live in a very small town in Indiana. I didn't have the money to pick any up but hopefully they will still be there friday. umanumanamo: I'm down for a Beachhead pack... don't really need Mainframe, so I'll trade him off. VIPER 48: Thanks for the heads up. I should have my wave 6 comics this week... Shin Densetsu: I can't wait til we see reviews, these sets look great, I've been looking forward to the weaponry and accessories included with the Snake Eyes pack for months! I like what Hasbro did with Beachhead's new head sculpt, and Scrap Iron is way better than the vintage one with the huge head. sithewok: Sadly enough, I haven't seen comic packs at retail other than wave 1 (target) and wave 2 (I believe- with scarface and cg fred at wal-mart). The stores around me are still so overstocked with them that I can only hope to order online for comic packs. The closest target has about 12 scarlett wave 1 packs and has never gotten another case in as far as I can tell. qwe: Just got back and found all three, 
Snake Eyes & Hard Master 
Beachhead & Mainframe 
Scrap Iron & Wild Bil 
I can put up loose picks if people are dying to see something, but I have to wait for the wife to get home so we can play together.
Happy Joetober Everyone.

More stuff for me to hunt down, even though I have these pre-ordered.
Now we need a Zarana or FireWall or both for MainFrame. xFlintx: These are some good packs, and I can't wait until they are in my hands. I might be in the minority, but I can't wait to get that blue Wild Bill | All times are GMT -4. The time now is 07:01 PM. | |
