It's not "ideal," per say, but it's an example of things that can get him looking closer to the original ARAH figure.

Bigger question is - "will Retro SE v2 come with Timber?" And if not, does that affect your opinion of such an offering?

You mean like they did in the two-part "Captives of Cobra" episode, which ended very badly for Cobra when they went for Gung Ho's family.

In terms of much cheaper, generic options they could go with:
Ground crewman
Mechanic
Dark Blue Techno-Viper
Female gunner

I'd prefer without, because I want the card size and look to be the same as the other Retros and I don't see how they can include Timber without making a lot of sacrifices to the presentation. I'm fatigued on pet and deluxe priced figures too. I'd be in for one either way since I haven't picked up a proper v2 yet, but +Timber would mean I'd only be buying one to open and not a second to put on the wall.

This may have been asked/answered before but does anyone know when the OAMCC will go up on Pulse?

I have been hearing August the 5th being thrown around.

Unrelated to anything.. but I have always called Road Pigs weapon a Cinder Block on a stick.. and I always will. It's sort of just the generic term for any block shaped like that I think (I know there are technical differences).

In Texas we call every soda Coke (except Dr. Pepper). We know every soda is not in fact a Coke but everyone knows what it means when we say that. I think of cinder blocks the exact same way. It's a catch all for that shape of block.

That's not verified info by the way.. just the most common rumor other than "We don't really know". I'd probably just keep an eye on the threads until he hits.

I think Chuckles was a full week past SDCC.. so it stand to reason it'd be the same..

*** edit - I stand corrected... following post indicated it was less than a week after all****

Last year it was the Thursday after SDCC week, so that would be 8/1 this year. You'll basically have to keep an eye on it from Wednesday on, unless Hasbro says otherwise.
