Quality is impressive, but they're way too small! Those are literally made for "1/6" Japanese school girls.

You have to be careful with them. They aren't as sturdy as Marauders or factory provided guns. They are constructed of thin ABS and the connection points around the grips are particularly thin. I've broken several.

No, they scale well. It's true they are made primarily for Little Armory gun girls but the weapons themselves are a little oversized for them. You're good there.

Yeah, this made me laugh.

Agree scale is bang on, I will try to take some photos of the trooper and AK and road block with M240G.

Thanks, that's a bit reassuring.

I'm going to remain skeptical. I've had wave 1 on preorder from BBTS for almost a year at this point. And the only development has been they switched me from the originals to the repaints. I also have had infantry preorders set on multiple different websites for a long time now, and still nothing. So personally I am going to ignore everyone else receiving their orders, because so far order fulfillment seems to be almost entirely random.

I haven't gotten any Infantry orders cancelled but all of them have been pushed back.

I actually saw Classified figures in brick-and-mortar today! After going to every Walmart, Walgreens, and Target and seeing zilch... I stopped at the final GameStop. They had one Gung Ho and one Cobra Commander.

Hey, a win is a win. Just seeing something in the wild felt like an achievement. Of course, I didn't need either of them.

I don't understand anyone complaining about not being able to find the regular retail figures.

Why, cause you can't walk into a Toys R Us like it's 1997 and hope to see it on the shelf?

If you really want these figures, and don't wanna pay anything over retail, it can be done. You just need to look around online.

I'm not saying the figures are there forever...it's still "you snooze, you lose." But if you're getting in on the ground floor, like we all did a year ago, there's no reason you shouldn't have been able to have the whole collection now, with the exception of Cobra Island.

I live in Japan, and I got Snake Eyes, Destro, Cobra Commander, and Artic Storm Shadow all for $19.99 plus shipping off amazon.com. I was diligent and checked often and when they were up, I grabbed them.

Zartan is just barely trickling out. Be patient. He'll probably hit all the online retailers at once and then you'll have to cancel several orders.

It'll probably be close to summer before I get Zartan, just cause of international shipping. Of course I want it NOW, but that's life. It'll be just as awesome when it finally arrives.
