So has lookinglasself. Heh, you guys are quite the team, eh?

Also, if the pegs are full of Waves 1-3, there's a good chance there might be a few cases of newer stuff in the back.

I've seen the remnants of the stuff you guys have picked through.. glad I got everything I need.

Sounds like we're all set then, so the rest of Wilmington can get their's : )

I still have not seen anything wave 8 related, and I've only seen a portion of wave 7.

My quick review of Wave 8

T.F. Flint - This has replaced the previous Flint as my "go to" Flint. The head has been reduced in size and the arms make this figure a 9.5 in my book. Hopefully, we'll get this Flint in his original colors later on.

Baroness - I know it's the same body with a different head and improved hips, but the head sculpt makes this one really a decent version. I know some people don't like the blue / yellow suit, but I'm a fan of the comic and I remember the early issues where this was her outfit. The green glasses actually look good. I added a little paint to the lips and right now this is my default Baroness.

Snake Eyes - The last version that we've got was awesome and this one follows in those tracks. Sure it's an enviroment limited figure, but he looks cool as hell. Since this is the same body as the Snow Serpent that's gonna be a really nice figure.

Roadblock - Why are his legs bow legged? The tiny head really shows up against the vest. The half attempted paint job on the arms make it look bad. The hands I can get over due to the use of the open hand to hold the ammo belt, and the vest colors don't look that bad...However, did we really need this version?

Major Bludd - I thought that he'd be half-way decent out of the package, but that doesn't help. Hasbro really dropped the ball on this one. The open mouth facial expression, non-moving arm, and the the Zartan legs just ruin it. On mine the lower legs don't match the upper legs so the two tone brown just really stands out. I'll be doing a custom as soon as I can find another HISS driver and the Wave 4 comic packs.

Are the heads from both versions interchangable I assume?


The wife found some wave 8 for me today at Wilm Target.

Yeah they do, This is what I had planned to do but once I saw the new head on the old body it just didn't look right. So I have one display with Blue Baroness and the other with Black

Target in Mooresville was loaded with wave 8. I picked up another Road Block (this one to open for my Joe fireteam), my first Major Bludd and Python Patrol Cobra and there were still 2 of each on the shelf, plus there were a couple of each Flint, Baroness, Roadblock and Arctic Snake Eyes.

Plus several Jetpack Dukes, Hiss Drivers, Spirits, limp-wristed Vipers. Pretty much all waves 7 and 8. No new comic 2 packs.

This was about 8-8:30pm Thursday night, close to closing time.

I also got a Target Exclusive Marvel Legends Hulk, it's pretty sweet.

I had to go from Raleigh to Charlotte and back for business. Found a ton of wave 8 at the University (North Charlotte) Target and WalMart. Found Wave 4 comics (all 3) at the Target in Kernersville. There was at least two of each when I left. (This trip was made on 6/5.)
