I was lucky enought the get the Tiger Claw with Leatherneck. I gave him Benchpress' backpack and now he's ready to stand in as my 25th Leatherneck. I wanted the Dusty and Desert Rockslide, but was only able to trade for one or the other, but not both. :( oh well, happy that I got Leatherneck.

I am interested in the Polar Sharc as well. Should you decide to eBay it - please keep me in mind when you post the auction so I may put a bid in for it.

So far, I've only been able to score the Volcano Viper from WS toys, but I've always been curious if they have access to this forbidden gold. I mean, I don't know this business like you guys do, but I'm very willing to pay bucks for a case of those alphas!
And some target packs... And some original mail away CCs...I really like those HISS drones!

I have mine and was happy to pay for them. That, however, would not stop me from buying ones I saw at a Ross, Marshalls or TJ Maxx if that were to ever occur. I've talked to other tankers and collectors about discount retailers. Most of us agree, its a crap shoot. If you see it there, get it. Don't wait or you'll be back in the same position as before.

Yeah blame Walmart, TRU and Target (and any other domestic retailer) for not ordering these, but all in all it was Habsro's fault at first for talking up the intial wavs like it was going to be a toy boom of massive proportions like transformers that lead to the over ordering of the product waves. These are toys, the retailers don't know jack nor care when it comes to it and rely heavily on thier toy distributors' (like Hasbro) purported consumer testing (which Hasbro said they don't a lot of since they dont spend a lot of their budget on market research on it once in a Q/A) as to what they need to order or what will be top sellers. They ordered way too much and set prices way to high for to long and the stuff rot on the shelf due to tthe lackluster movies performance at generating those new kid toy buyers.
I don't think retailers will ever get these supply/demand probelms worked out, along with hasbro's horrid package assortments so more cancellations of this type are inevitable which sux especially with all the cool stuff that can come from POC and then Renegades. |

I don't blame anyone from buying these online from China. There is no guarantees any of us will ever see these vehicles. And for a completest, ebay is offering a unique opportunity to have some really cool in box items to spotlight in the collection.
