#1 | | 32 Oh-Zee Killah Join Date: Mar 2006 Posts: 583 Location: Southern IL | 25th Anniversary G.I. Joe I've already got the first wave of these guys and I'm waiting for the next ones. I had to get mine online due to scarcity around here, so, which online store is the best to purchase these from? I preordered the next two waves from BBTS but I'll probably get another set of each and if I can't get them instore I'll be doing more online shopping. I thought Hasbro was supposed to have them on their site but they only had the 5-packs and then they sold out.
Also, the ones that aren't going to be packed with future waves like Flint, do you think those will be skyrocketing in price? I mean, the carded figures aren't that easy to find around here as it is so imagine collectors who jump into the line during wave 2/3 and are looking to get ones that were only shipped 1 per case and are no longer shipping.
I'm glad they are selling as well I just wish stores would order more so I could get the satisfaction of seeing them on the pegs, and then in my hands. |

News Credits: 5 | I'm going with BBTS since they are so hard to find in stores. Hopefully Hasbro will increase production and stores will stock more. Until then my best bet is probably online. Although I have seen everyone in stores that was only at a K-Mart. I got both versions of Snake Eyes there, I wasn't sure which one I would get from my BBTS order and I wanted the gray one but got the black because it looked cool. I went back a few days later and got the Cobra Officer I passed up, a figure I have not seen since.
As for Flint it is possible that we could see a comic pack version with gloves, I hope anyway. It is also possible that Flint could be released in a wave revision of wave 2 or 3. I doubt Flint will only have one version. Still it could be worth something later on.  Gone but never forgotten. Farewell Transformers: Animated. |

I think BBTS is probably the best way to go for online ordering, though. This awesome sig created by Poho! |

I've seen lots of the box sets but the carded guys are a little harder to find. I did find the Snake-Eyes variant which is cool because I usually never find stuff like that.  I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together. |

I loves me that packaging  |
