So I have 2 roadblocks, 1 from the 3 pack set and 1 from wave 1. But both have been disappointing to say the least. Should I get the ultimate wave 1 and use it to display with my other retaliation figures.
On a similar note, if I have the previous wave Flint and Firefly, is it fair to skip them in the Ult. wave?

I am keeping my Ult Roadblock. I'm not much of a movie figure collector, but this one is nice.
The Ult Firefly comes with the Hiss mini-drone and that's the only reason I'm getting him, probably sell off the figure. The Ult Flint has a cool parachute, again, that's the only reason I'm getting him too, skipped all previous movie versions of him.

Ultimate wave is more screen accurate. Wave 1 is crap.

The Battle Kata Roadblock is a good figure in case you can't get your hands on the Ultimate version.
For Ultimate Flint, it depends on your purpose for him---do you intend to use him as the default version or a different character? If you want to use him as the default, you probably need the beret from wave 1 as well and probably should get him. If not, you can use him for easy custom fodder or sell/trade him. For Ultimate Firefly, you can safely skip him unless you want to sell/trade him. The 3-pack version is much better. |

You know, someone CAN, y'know, have a display of "movie centric" without compromising your love/appreciation of the Classic stuff either. As to the OP's question: The Battle Kata (wave 2) figure is good, but but given the choice I'd get the Ultimate version and simply swap the head with the wave 1 figure. Ultimate hit so much right only to be bogged by wacky QC at the finish line. I would also say that both Flint and Firefly are vast improvements (either in deco, accessories, film accuracy or all of the above) over their prior figures, and worth getting if you're a fan of film with the desire for a dedicated display.

Let us get all the figs we want 1st...err...I mean review the product for you. Yeah I wasn't very keen on the initial waves either. I did like the special ops RB, that came with the dojo 3 pack. Aside fom the dojo 3 pack, I only picked up alley viper. Wave 3.5 though looks stellar. |

I'm getting Ultimate Roadblock but he will not be my Roadblock. He's The Rock, joining the Joes like The Sarge did before him.
