He said the Hiss tank was 'damaged' and they put it on the truck 2 be sent back. Another kid said they sold in 2 sum 1 else. Not sure who 2 believe, but from your story it looks like they sold it 2 that guy. So you screwed me Mynamehere.... :( lol

Oops sorry then! I was just trying to be helpful. Yeah they probably sold it to someone else. I picked it up and looked at it very briefly, I didn't notice any damage. That's funny they said they sent it back cuz it was damaged. I've seen items damaged or missing parts and they still have it out on the shelves for sale but with a sticker and a slightly lower price.

Why the heck why would they sell it to someone else if they pulled it off the shelf to hold for a customer? Maybe the other guy told them he was the one who called and asked for the hold.

Checked TRU tons of Docs and Shipwrecks didn't buy anything. No bravos anywhere for the TRU in Warwick.

I dunno what happened, but supposedly they're gonna hold the next 1 that comes in 4 me, Im not holding my breath. Its early, Ill find 1 eventually anyway, so its not a big deal. Was gonna grab 1 at Small Joes till I saw the price, $35 plus shipping...ugh, no thanks.

They had them as late as 12:30 according to mynamehere. I'm sure they'll get them again as long as they keep selling. The case only has 1 of each so if they only get 1 case, then they're gone.

I put both of them together last night and put the stickers on. I really like both of them a lot...more than I initially thought upon seeing the first photos. The Snow Cat is pure nostalgia with an upgrade. White out is cool, too. He's got a new head sculpt.

Enzo, if you're having problems with his hood pull the goggles down a little more and make sure the fur on the hood faces forward. That did the trick for me. I don't care for the "updated" Hiss Tank driver. It just comes across as "OK, here's the new Hiss we designed boss." "Wow, awesome! Where is the driver?" "Oh shit...(runs off to FrankenJoe a figure). Here he is." I mean, I understand it needs to be Hiss Tank driver, but...they could have done much better than that.

Either way, I would highly recommend getting both if you can / are at all interested. I was on the fence and I'm really happy with both. Good hunting and don't be afraid to let me know if you're looking for something. I'll keep an eye and give updates like I always have. I'm hoping figures show up in the next couple of weeks. If I find a whole set at retail, then I'll cancel my preorder at BBTS.

[SteelCity86]

I hear ya Fast Draw. I have a pre-order 4 both waves at BBTS as well. I noticed yesterday though that SmalJoes has single figs listed as 7/10 and sets for 8/15. But BBTS has everything listed as August. They even have some of the new vehicles and BBTS doesnt. Whats up with that? I would hate to have 2 wait an extra month because I chose BBTS. Although I wouldnt be buying them seperate anyways, so it really doesnt matter. $20 4 C Commander?!?!?!? WTF?!?!? Why?!??! And $35 4 the Hiss, no thanks.

As far as the vehicles I dont have a Hiss tank (Damn u myname!!!! lol, I swear, thats the last 1 ) but I did grab the Wolf Hound. I agree, awesome. Nostalgia factor alone is a 10, but the vehicle rocks either way. I think the new line has done an awesome job with all the Arctic stuff. Ice Dagger is prob.my fav vehicle from this line (the Rhino and the Hummer are both tight 2 tho) and the they've done a nice job giving us some good arctic figs, Ice Viper, Arctic SE etc.

Hiss tankl does look cool though. Ill know more when I get my hands on 1. Saw 1 on Amazon 4 $60 2day?!?!? ouch, lol

SmallJoes will have all of the singles and Resolute on the 18th supposedly.

The online stores get their stock at different times just like retail. SmallJoes and other online stores charge more for the rarer/hotter items in hopes to drive people towards the full sets. Otherwise, they get stuck with all the lesser items and won't be able to sell them all. It sucks, but it's reality if they want to stay in business. They're not Walmart/Target where toys are a loss-leader (they make their money on people buying other items when they are buying the toys).

[atomsmasher]

Walmart near Aldrich had one Captain America 1930, one Namor, A few Luke Cages, Green Goblins and two Thors for those still looking.

[Squibbles]

Stopped in target - they had several of the target exclusives series with the storm shadow cycle and snake armor. I did not see any joe or bots on clearance, Also needed to stop in family dollar, no new joes but sadly had the the new avatar star stuff. Mechsuits and the figs themselves were both 5 dollars. Both were ones in warwick. I can only see this as a sign that we will not see the resolute series at family dollar.

[SteelCity86]

I stoppd into the Warwick Target 2night for suttin else.Decided to look in the toy aisle. What a waste land. Empty pegs everywhere. Did grab a couple Snake Armor's for 7 a pop though. Aug. 1st cant come soon enough 4 Target.

[Squibbles]

Cool Glad to see someone get some, 7 dollars is a pretty good deal. They must have just clearanced them. Yeah I agree about the toy departments. I am pretty sad every where I go and visit a toy department, usually a mess and never have anything that I am looking for. But I still look for the love or obsession of the game, lol.
