Anyone know where to get the Precision backpack or the Standard Issue backpack?

Precision comes with Omega (I think that's his name - the black and gray version of the Carbide buck).

Dunno about standard issue though.

EDIT: Looks like a loot chest item:

Thanks! I just hadn't gotten around to opening Omega. I will have to exchange some of the extras I don't want for a Standard issue in store.

I do not play the game, but I really like the line. I really like the designs, they are colorful, well constructed, and interesting. I really want Peely, the nutcracker, and the ginger bread people. But I do think that they are too expensive. Especially the larger sets. I understand that the sets come with a bunch of building materials, but I do not need those. The figures are already expensive at $12.99 a figure, but the $20.00 ones are ridiculously high. Seven more dollars for what amounts to $.50 more plastic with the back bling, umbrella, and building materials. And the loot chests are $4 too high. And the large llama piñata at $80 is crazy. Saying all of that I really want it, and think the clock tower is cool. I also don't like that the coolest figures, like the Rabbit Raider, are in high price sets. I have used Amazon points and sales in brick and mortar to get the entire first wave, and all the individually carded figures in the second wave. I am waiting for the Christmas rush and hoping that there are sales on Amazon and at Target and Walmart so that I can get the second wave sets, llamas, ATK and the quad at better prices. I like that these figures are easily available in stores, but due to the high prices, I have had to be patient in getting them. It is killing me, I hate being patient. I do see that the first wave is peg warming. Do you all think that these will ultimately end up at discount stores? So short of it is that I love this line, I will buy all of them, just not at full price.

Get your ass to GameStop today, mate. Shit's on sale at $5 for every pricepoint.

And no, $12.99 for a BFS-quality action figure with an accessory and figurestand is *not* too much for 2019 MSRP. The other stuff depends entirely on how much you value the accessories added in with the figures; but the basic figures are a great value at their basic price - especially coming from a fanbase that pays $15 for MTF customizing bucks of 3 different molds.

WHAT!!! I had not heard about this sale. So the $40 sets are only $5? And I have a telephone meeting that is starting in 15 min that will last most of the day. Curse words!!

I have accepted that $12.99 is the current going rate for articulated action figures. I just think the $20 figures are too high, and I do not have much use for the building materials. The kids have been using them to make energizer cubes for their Transformers (we have been watching G1 Transformers on Tubi). I have bought BFS, Chicken Fried Toys, Zombie Lab figures, but the high price was due to the limited run. These are mass produced figures that should not have a high licensing fee (unlike Star Wars). There are a lot of unique parts to make and that costs money. Maybe the boutique figure companies have allowed mass market toymakers to raise their prices because they have demonstrated that we are willing to pay a lot for little plastic men.

Thanks everyone here for updating the thread on the new available figures/vehicles/sets.

i also don't play the game but dig the creativity of the line.

Buying the 4" Fortnite figures helps with my plastic addiction to the scale ;)

I've got most the stuff at retail except a few which I'll get with sales in the next few months but I have to say I really like this line. I do also play the game and while I'm no expert by any means it is fun. I mostly play it to help my kids unlock the different skins, gliders, etc... so they can enjoy it more. The figures though are nicely done, just with some of the ball joints weren't so tight as I feel like i'm breaking the figure the first time I move and ankle or elbow. I will say this though, they've gotten better since the first wave.
