Let’s be real here. It will be 2 Firefly, 2 Vipers, and 2 CI Roadblock.

I don't understand why they put that huge flak jacket on Firefly. I understand he's a demolitions expert, but he's supposed to be setting the bombs, not diffusing them.
You think it would be difficult to climb, hang, crawl, or get in unseen places with that jacket on. If he does make a mistake his and the ordinance goes off before it's supposed to, how is that jacket going to save his leg from being blown off? I think the jacket makes him too bulky in the wrong areas, and makes him too far removed from the V1 look. I'll pass on him. |

I should be more enthusiastic about this line and scale, having been a big proponent of the whole thing early on. I think I now have an idea what's off about everything, and its not the uniform designs or colors.
I think the figure sculpts lean a bit too wide and chunky, made we worse by the bulk of the add on. Vala's stuff also has this problem. I was envisioning more slim bodies closer to Star Wars Black Series. Slimmer builds would also allow for slimmer add-ons or less build out on the overall profile of the figure. As a result, and much to my surprise, I think the 3.75 post 2010 figure builds are better looking than the upscale line. |

I am going to have a positive mindset that I will be able to order 2 vipers and 1 firefly at 5pm and I am setting everything up for success.

5 to 1 is a bad ratio. That means you get everything, or maybe a viper. One case per customer when some of these targets are limiting one figure per customer, while only getting in a single case at a time.
Let's be honest, the only way these are on the shelves is if they ship 4 cases at a time, because the scalpers are generally broke people looking to make a quick buck and can't afford to buy $400 worth of figures at once. |

I understand that everything has already been set to contract, but still disappointed to see more troopers limited to Target. I feel like the exclusivity is pushing more people away from the line than driving towards it.
That being said I was really happy with Zartan (even included the colour change!) and I will take what troopers I can get. Would have loved to see the rolled-up sleeves on the Viper but overall they look great too. I'd love to eventually see some deluxe animal/handler pairs like Raptor/Croc Master, or maybe a vehicle/driver combo like the Stinger. I have so many hopes for this line! Good luck in the trenches in 30 min! |

If these exclusives go live at 5PM we might actually have a shot. Most bots only work when they have the link set up beforehand. There will be a small window before they can get their bots setup, so if you're try - go fast!
