Wave 8 at Maple Grove WM at midnight. Before finding them there I stopped at Riverdale and Brooklyn Park and they did not have them. BP still had everything on truck.

Anything left at Maple Grove from Wave 8, or did you get the last ones?

[spiderpumpkin]

I bought a full set and an extra Python Officer. They had 3 cases of w8 and one of w7. The w7 were glossy silver cardbacks. I saw glossy and dull silver Major Bludd cardbacks. They don't last long at MG WM but they may have some left.

I would try Brooklyn Park in the morning since they hadn't unloaded there truck as of midnight. I'm not sure why that is but they didn't have any pallets of product on the floor like usual and the truck was sitting out front of the store. I would imagine they will have them in the morning because when MG has them they usually do too.

The Python Officer is awesome. They finally fixed the crotch/hip articulation so the figure can sit and pose more properly. Also, they enlarged the Cobra sigil on the chest and now that looks a lot better. I really really hope they take these new changes and finally release the red sigil Cobra Soldier in mass because that's what I've been waiting for since the 5-Pack came out last August.

The Arctic Snake Eyes is very cool and looks awesome with all the cool accessories. However, the back of his hood interferes with the backpack fitting properly in the backpack hole.

Major Bludd is very cool and well designed. I can't tell he's Zartan with a new head and paint job. The only problem with this figure are the missle in the backpack which are removable. They keep falling off the backpack. I ended up flipping the backpack 180 degrees so they have gravity holding them in. Very frustratiing like the Viper goggles.

The Baroness is cool. Holds her gun well and stands well.

Roadblock is cool accept for the tiny Charles Barkley head. He holds his weapon very well.

TF Flint is cool but his hands are very rubbery and he has a hell of time holding his gun with both hands or even one handed sometimes.

I haven't opened the w8 Cobra Commander v1 but he looks improved. He's a darker blue, his sigil is larger and his crotch/hip articulation/diaper may have been adjusted a little.

I saw both a super glossy silver Major Bludd card and a dull silver card. Also, they had a case of w7 with glossy silver Viper cardback and HISS Driver cardback. I bought those 2 and didn't notice this until I got home. I'm not sure if the rest of w7 in that case had the super glossy silver cardbacks but I bet they did. So if anyone needs those type cardbacks you may want to keep an eye out. I actually like the new white lettering and border a lot better because they can keep it consitent and not have different shades of silver.

Thanks for the sighting Spider! I actually went out last night and found everything still there except for your Python Troopers.

So if anybody sees extra Pythons, I'm looking to acquire 1 or 2.

Sucks about the different Bludd cardbacks. Mine's silver, and I'm sure that one will be rare. Too bad I opened him.

I'm personally very disappointed in Bludd. No removable helmet, lame facial sculpt, and his robot arm is a full hand shorter than his regular one.

You're right about CC. His waist is fixed so he can sit. But they only changed it subtley, which I appreciate. My Baroness waist is fixed also - a major improvement!

What the deuce! I stopped by the maple grove yesterday at about 5pm and saw bare pegs, what a waste of gas. Some other guy came looking through with a disappointed look. >.<

Man, I went out to the usual areas I go to and found nothing. All I really want is a TF Flint and Roadblock really as I already got ahold of a Major Bludd online.

[protoxero]

Apple Valley WalMart had waves 7 and 8 today. I grabbed one Baroness, Flint, Snakes and the Python Patrol guy. No Bludd to be seen. Either somebody got them before I did, in which case I hope it was one of you guys or Arctic Ackbar from JD, or the store didn't put them out yet.

Any wave 8 left after you got your stuff?

Like, specifically, the Python guy?
