    So quick question. Does anyone know where I could order a full set of the random single sets? Since my Wal-Mart seems to be kicking them off the shelves getting them online might be the only way i can get them and BBTS doesn't have anythung beyond wave 1.

    I WANT MY WAVE 3 FIGS, DARN IT!!!

    Not sure if they'll go the douche route and up the price anytime soon.

    Could everyone say their code # on the back of their Arcade Renegades pack and what they got? Mine was 91551 and it was pack 5.

    Thanks guys, I do appreciate it, but I heard very shifty things from Toywiz. Do you guys trust them?
    .
    Well, just in case. Any place that got Wave 2's in with the possibility of wave 3?

    I've bought from them several times through their Amazon and the actual site. For the most part they are fine, never had any issue with them. The main thing I've encountered is pricing and shipping. They can be a tad slow on shipping from when you actually pay to when they actually ship. Pricing can be rather insane. As far as pre-orders go sometimes they don't up it right away other times they sell x and then jack the price up steadily the more are sold.

    Normally I'd say screw and say wait for EE but for fucks sake they didn't even carry the series 2 blind figs. So if you know you want them get them now while the price is at standard msrp.

    If you miss the pre-order window, then prices will jump to $100 (but that's juts a guess as they did that with series 2).

    I ordered wave 2 from them and got it just fine. I will say that they always have a 5% discount running so check for coupons. They can overprice (sometimes exorbitantly so) but when they're at retail, it's fine.

    So I opened three packs from amazon. Got packs 5 6 and 7

    Can confirm the pack of all arcade figures. Found nothing on the pack that clued me in on the contents.

    2nd edit. Basically I got the 3rd best scenario it seems
    3 packs bought. A full set for me. A full set to trade/sell. Plus the 8 arcade figures you can see and 8 oldies

    Obviously best case scenario would be 3 pack 777. But whatever I'm happy.

    Thats the release date, but depending on where you live don't count on seeing them in stores that very day. As I posted several weeks ago, Series 2 was on April 1st and they were showing up that week in some states. However for me in Oregon, I never saw any in retail till memorial day weekend, practically 2 months after. They may start showing up on amazon so start checking that, thats how I was lucky and snagged a few 5 and 8 packs that way.

    Soon as I figure out asking price, you bet. Anything else you're looking for that I can check inventory or track down and slip in to make shipping worthwhile?

    At like $99 bucks (10% sales tax added) for three packs with only sixteen to show for it, you better believe I'm gonna look for opportunities to recover my costs! :)

    I’d like to get the rest of the Arcade Renegades, (I need The Fizz, Papa Clicks, Wrist Banned, and Pixelfin), but I already have all of Series one and two, so I’m only really looking for the Bakery Bytes and Lawn League at this point.

    If the Lawn League group-buy goes off, I expect plenty of leftovers there, though I'll be surprised if they add up to a full set.
