My Target had a bunch of wave 1&2 yesterday. I'm seriously considering just buying a case of wave 4 so I only have to hunt for Storm Shadow.

Wave 4 is hitting now, too. Crazy.

If you're going to order online Homer, I would just order a set of each. SS only comes in the wave 3 case and there is only one of him. He's going to be the hardest to find I think. Even some of the wave 4 figures only come 1 in a case (Lifeline, Sci-Fi, Law, and Airtight).

Wave 2 (mostly with some wave 1) clogging the pegs and not-so-good case assortments for waves 3 and 4 results in a tough retail situation as far as finding these new figures.

Just found out my wave 4 case is already at ups in shrewsbury even though delivery isn't set for Wednesday(list as early from original thursday). Now just need to see if I can just pick it up on lunch tomorrow versus missing the delivery. Hell, it'd save them gas and time.

You know anywhere with a good price for the sets? BBTS would be $114 plus shipping for them. At that price I think I'd still be better off with a case of wave 4 as long as I could get Storm Shadow for less than $29.

Homer did you check the collectors club's store? They sell the waves when they come out. Smalljoes would have them but their prices are usually the same as BBTS. I haven't used them, but a lot of people are buying from Kokomo toys.

BEAM · 12-13-2011, 11:25 AM

Kokomo and smalljoes both seem to be sold out of the cases. BBTS raised thier price of Wave 4 5-figure case by $10. Not sure if the price of the full 12 figure case was increased.

Renegades Storm Shadow is going to be HTF.

Do you have to be a club member to use the club store?

homer_sapien · 12-13-2011, 11:33 AM

Nevermind. HTS had wave 4 cases back in stock so I bought it there with the 20% off and free shipping code. Cost me $70 after tax was added.

Fast_Draw · 12-13-2011, 11:38 AM

Not too bad. I got my wave 3 set from SmallJoes for $49.99 and I have the wave 5 set on order for $44.99. If you can get SS for under $30, then you'll make out better. You get an extra ZV and SB, too.

mike000 · 12-13-2011, 12:03 PM

I was looking for SS on ebay for you. Not many up there. They are all around the $24 range, all are carded. There was one guy who had a make an offer option, but not sure you'd get it for under $20.
