Just looked at the pre-order pages and then closed them without buying.
I think I'm done. It's a shame that Hasbro's bean counters don't realize that this line has the potential to be as strong as Star Wars TVC if they took the same approach: invest the money and make definitive versions. I'll just be content with what I already have. (Shrug) I'm going to put my expendable income towards a nice vacation home for my extended family to enjoy.

Everyone calls a shotgun a boomstick, too, right?

Edit - I’ve deleted my sarcastic rant as it won’t change anything.

That's a great Duke CC. Exactly what the mustache should have done.

...line is officially dead with wave 4. I'm thinking WM will up their orders on w3 based on sales of w1 and we, and kill Ghostbusters for the shelf space. So shelves will be overloaded with overpacked Duke and cc for years, w4 will end up at Ross or Tues morn...

BOOMSTICK ya'll! Hey, mods, change my username to "Ray Boom-Boomstick Mancini" please. Thanks! ;)
You know, I'm trying to keep in mind that for folks who weren't collecting during the 25th and etc these are probably decent releases, but for me...well, for me, there's just no reason to buy them. That goes for Snake Eyes, Stormy, Baroness and Destro too. I can bullshit myself into buying the last two for their paint differences, but that doesn't apply to the others, and certainly not to this wave. The not-really-retro cards don't justify it either. Not at $13 per. I think it's time for me to outgrow the dubious "thrill of the hunt" and the compulsion for things "new" (even when they aren't). It's time to enjoy what I got, make an MTF custom or three to finalize things, wrap it up in a bow and call it a day. All good things and all that. At the very least, it's time to be even more picky about any new Joe stuff I buy. Classified was an easy pass for me because I hate that scale, but to not be excited about "new" 1:18 Joe toys is just a sad fucking deal.

...and w4 will have one superstellar figure that no one will be able to find, maybe flint, 50th build in traditional (but more vivid colors).
I felt like w3 would have a major wtf bombshell that no one in their right mind would have predicted... |

Have they said or hinted there will be a wave 4?
