    He's one of the best ones they have IMO. Not as loose.
    He even has that super tiny mouth reciever. Wont stay on well though, I glued mine. If I lost it, it'll be gone forever

    The $2 singles were some of the best repaints in the Valor vs. Venom line. I think I have 5 of the Tele-Vipers.

    As for the 25th Anniversary singles I think they will be easier to find as time goes on but with wave 2 fast approaching wave 1 figures like Flint and Cobra Officer could be some of the rarest in the line unless they are put into future waves and wave revisions. It could be worse, this could be Valor vs. Venom wave 6 all over again.

    Just imagine how many you will have when you buy all those Hawk and Scarlett comic packs for customs. I still think you should make some Joe and Cobra female troopers out of them. That is if you are still thinking of using Hawk for the body of the rest of the original 13 like you said over at Hisstank.com.

    damn, 4 scarletts? if you're looking to unload some of them (doubtful, i know), i'd be interested. her and snake-eyes are the only ones i want from the 5-pack but i dont want to pay ebay prices...wish they'd release them carded as well (without repainting them)..

    I have managed to find them all at stores, but scarcely. I found Flint about 3 times. The first two, the gap in his arms was pretty bad, then the third seemed good so I got it, but it still shows a little.

    I have all of them and I bought most of them from TRU. I found a few extra cobra officers at WM.

    Well I never planned to do all of the 13, my comment was that if people wanted to make them Hawk is going to be an excellent shortcut.

    One I’m keeping as is and I have plans for the other 3. But you can go the other way, buy the 5 pack and sell the 3 you don’t want.

    Anybody else having a hard time finding the carded figures at retail?

    I asked a Target employee and he said something about the distributor and problems and then he sort of rambled from there.

    Apparently, Florida is the spot to be. My friend went on vacation there and he found pegs full of them.

    I bought my first one today! Only one they had left at Wal-Mart, carded Snake Eyes.

    He looks so gorgeous on the card...I'm conflicted as to whether or not I should open him :(
