    Pre order went up around 6am, as of about 8 they were listed as sold out. Is it possible there's something else going on, or could he have gone that fast?

    I really hope Warpath doesn't become one of those impossible to find figures...

    It won't be impossible, although since it's apparently the last new Generations figure for a while, it might be a little scarcer than some others.

    Anyone who makes a genuine effort to get one, should be able to source one somewhere.

    bbts has him for 24.99 preorder. It seems even the retailers are expecting him to be scarce.

    To be honest? I think not. Although if you had ordered with him you would have gotten warpath by now, so I guess "getting it early" was part of the price.

    Personally, I ordered it from BBTS at 17.99 (or whatever the initial price was).


    But I think, as of this moment and how it is running out of stock everywhere, it might not have been such a bad price though.


    The member didn't advertise the group buy (only stated it on his FB), but I did link his group buy a few times.

    Thanks for that heads up - last I checked BBTS, the pre-order was sold out. Pre-order is back up, so I went ahead and jumped on it.

    I think actually getting the case is worth it. Especially for those that don't have TC, WJ, Kup, and those in need of another Scourge.

    Yeah, ugh - but I figure it's worth the time and aggravation I won't spend driving around trying to find him at retail. I already have WJ, TC, and Kup so ... what the hell, right?

    I gave in and pre ordered. It is the only figure I need from RTS (other then Windcharger) and Generations.

    Plus someone made a good point about saving money on gas looking for the darn thing and gas prices are approaching $4 a gallon.

    I heard that. Gas is probably going to pass $4, so paying a little more online makes me and my V8 engine happy.
