Maybe it has been brought up already but why didn't they just put the retaliation ultimate SS out instead of the renegades/50th version? That figure is closer to the retro version. Anybody have access to the joe team and ask them?
Now on another note, We really need 100 post saying my what and what shipped today at 11?

Typical Walmart.
My first SS ordered first thing July 17th is back-ordered, probably to-be-cancelled. The one I ordered Oct 1st when I decided I wanted a loose and MOC of each just shipped out via FedEx. My wave 1 tally so far: 2 HISS - Delivered 2 AWEs ordered together - 1 Shipped today, 1 Delayed 2 SS - 1 Back-Ordered, 1 Shipped today 2 SE - 1 Dec 7, 1 Delayed 2 Baroness - 1 Jan 12, 1 Oct 7 (expect a delay email on this one) It helps to see what's happening with everyone's orders. |

MY suspicion is that the first wave was a "quick turnaround" and used immediately available assets, where as they had some development time for wave 2. All of the wave 1 figures saw a release from 2014 to now, and largely unchanged. Retaliation Ultimate Storm Shadow was released in 2013. It's also possible that the tooling is bundled with movie stuff and got "mixed up" in however these are stored.

Just got an email pushing my AWE Striker (which shipped today, apparently) and SS to 10/20. The saga continues.

I got an email saying my Awe Striker will be here on Thursday and another email that my Storm Shadow is backordered. Snake Eyes will apparently be shipped Dec 1.

I don't remember seeing this mentioned earlier but the pins on the HISS Tank turret that control the tilt seem to have been thickened compared to the older versions. I don't own any others besides the Retro at this time for comparison, but it seemed that way when going off of memory if anyone is able to verify this.

Nobody has "access" to the GI Joe product team outside of those Pulse livestreams, and I'm not sure that is the sort of question they'll address anytime soon.
MY suspicion is that the first wave was a "quick turnaround" and used immediately available assets, where as they had some development time for wave 2. All of the wave 1 figures saw a release from 2014 to now, and largely unchanged. Retaliation Ultimate Storm Shadow was released in 2013. It's also possible that the tooling is bundled with movie stuff and got "mixed up" in however these are stored. I'm sure we will see a good mix of Storm Shadows and Snake Eyes next year as we get closer to the movie's release. Now may be a good time for the Hasbro team to figure out what styles work in the 4" line as opposed to just copying the 6" line in a smaller scale. Jason |

Got my Hiss and Awe Striker here in the UK this morning, ordered them through a local comic shop (I also got my wave 1 figures there but they arrived weeks ago)
