I cleaned up pretty well this weekend, went to 4 Walmarts and a TRU and bought:

• 2x Keyan Farlander (revenge of the jedi card)
• 1x Admiral Ackbar (revenge of the jedi card)
• 1x Jedi outfit Luke (revenge of the jedi card)

• 2x TF Cyberverse Guzzle
• 1x TF Cyberverse Flak

• 2x Spiderman Stretch Strike Venom

• 2x new "variant body" Steel Brigade (uses Snake Eyes/Stalker parts and accessories have less detail)
• 2x regular Steel Brigade
• 1x Stalker (for parts)
• 1x Blueshirt Trooper
• 2x Viper

I saw about 6 Hazard Vipers and loads of IGs, Renegades, Vamps and Black Dragons everywhere. This is the first time I've ever passed on Hazards, but with 20+ already, it's time to be reasonable. No sign of the Crimson Hiss anywhere at retail yet either.

Typically that is a good sign that they will make their way eastbound to New England. The only unlikely factor that I see stopping them from showing up is whether or not they will arrive too late and interfere with the movie stuff's release, but that will probably not happen since tere's a good 6-7 months before we'll see any of that merchandise in stores.

Do you know where the Crimson Hiss has been spotted out west?

Also, if you're looking for one of those new Steel Brigade "variants" that I mentioned, check Walmarts. A revision case of 30th stuff has been released, because there are fresh Stalkers and Steel Brigades showing up with the rest of the cobra troopers and renegades stuff (those 2 weren't a part of wave 2). There seems to be about 1 or maybe 2 variant SBs per case.Not as good as the original Shock Trooper parts IMO, but still an interesting variation. Also, for those looking for more variations, I recently learned that the more recent versions of Renegades Firefly comes with much darker weapons than the earlier release. Haven't verified this myself yet but I may look into it.

Do you just mean the regular SB? Damn- I would have hooked you up if I knew you needed one! Did you find the variant yet as well? Pretty cool running change on a great figure.
