glad I was done till wave 3....

Wow. Just wow. The stupidity is running rampant all over the greed at Hasbro. Shelves at major retailing have been bare for months, so instead of putting out product and pushing The Brand...they're content to once again have nothing on the shelves. And they wonder why sales are down. No push, no toys, alienation of fans and piss poor communications. Truly they deserve the Hasblo.

I don't know the process, so I don't know if those ex-30th 5 POA drivers can also be made with the usual articulation we've been getting.

Some of you may already know this, but originally, there was to be an additional wave of 30th figures, sometimes known as the "lost walmart wave", due to them temporarily appearing in Walmart's system several months ago. I believe the wave was to include at least the following characters:

Data-Viper (current status: cancelled indefinitely)
Kwinn (current status: undecided/TBA, possibly a con exclusive)
Flint: (retooled/repainted into Slaughter's Marauders Falcon)
Night Viper: (scheduled for Retaliation wave 5, now delayed)
Crimson Guard: (scheduled for Retaliation wave 5, now delayed)

These are figures that have the tooling made and that fans would love to have. If I were Hasbro, I'd try to get at least some of these out ASAP. Probably won't happen but it would be cool.

Can anyone that is going to JoeCon help me out? I just want the individual characters from the Con set (you keep or sell the troopers)?

Do you think the non-attendee sets will sellout?

Hey guys,

I'm looking to complete a set for myself of Dark Knight Rises Movie Masters. It looks like Alfred & a couple others may be tough to find. Since a lot of us make regular rounds anyone interested in helping out, send me a PM & we can exchange numbers. When you're out and about and see something, you can get in touch and I can let you know if I still need it. On my end I'll reimburse you the price you paid and offer a troop builder modern Joe for your help. Could be a Renegades Cobra trooper MOC, Steel Brigade MOC if I still have at the time, loose complete Alley Viper, loose complete Cobra Viper, etc. Not looking to pay you extra cash or anything or have you go out of your way. Phones will be necessary as I don't want you to buy it without the go ahead and also without having you pick your bonus from what I have at the time. Also have some common 25th stuff MOC like Roadblock, Storm Shadow, & more. This set is for me and I only need one of each. I have Batman already and am going back to a Target to get Bane on Sunday where they let me open the case, but wouldn't sell. Alfred wasn't in that case. So... Please get in touch! I've done a trade with Airtight so he can vouch for me, for those of you who don't know me.

I'll also consider straight out trades for more premium Joe stuff like Skystriker, Spirit Iron Knife, etc., but some things I have on Ebay. I have more stuff, but let's exchange info and get to that point and work out a fair deal. Easiest is to reimburse cash plus a fig with a $8-$10 value.

I think you probably have a better chance of buying a non-attendee set and selling the troopers on ebay. You'll probably make a good chunk of the money back. And I know ShadowNinja is looking for some more of those heavy weapons(?) IG figures.

Haha I actually feel the same way, my wallet is thanking me as we speak. Call me crazy, but I honestly think Joes could afford a little haitus to get their shit together and back on track. It's the "phoenix" effect, people would probably appreciate it so much more too when it reappeared. I have so many beautiful figures that I truly enjoy, and I'd rather take a little break than get spoonfed this cheap flimsy unarticulated garbage that seems to be coming down the pipeline. I know not everyone feels the same way, and of course, I'm also of the mind that sometimes getting some joes can be better than getting no joes at all, so it all depends how you look at it.

What concerns me is if the Retaliation waves (1 and maybe 2) released now will be it for those waves and when the toys begin to ship again in winter will we only see stuff from wave 2 or 3 onwards since they are more film accurate?

Do we buy now and wait or do we wait for it to hit full force?
