    For no explainable reason, this picture is inspiring me to get five of them and pose them like the Ginyu force. The hard part will be getting more than one, haha!

    Nah, I haven't seen Red Ninjas or Gung-Ho at retail either. Three Cobra Commanders from time to time, but neither of the other two figures from the wave.

    I've seen exactly one w1 Duke and RB at retail on a single occasion. So, no, you're not alone in not seeing a Red Ninja. I would be happy to see ANYTHING.

    I haven’t seen any Wave 2 in the wild. Only my Gung-Ho which arrived from Amazon.

    So my 40th Boba deft has been scheduled to arrive this Saturday. Just checked and it still hasn’t shipped. I think we all know what that means.

    On the other hand, I just realized that my Cobra Commander shipped and will be here Saturday. I’ll take the win!

    It means it will probably ship today. My 40th Fett was delivered last Saturday and was shipped Friday.

    those who are getting the red ninja from Amazon are these old orders or from 3rd party? I havent seen him there yet for retail and I dont think i want to pay a markup yet as the wave hasn't really been released wide spread yet. This one wasn't target exclusive so I am hoping it will be much easier to find, even being short packed in the case.

    I ordered only one from Amazon when it first went up (should have ordered more but oh well) and it has shown up already. I wouldn't pay the mark-up if I were you because a) I guarantee you that Red Ninja will be repacked/repainted at some point in a later wave and b) most of those Amazon listings have next year as the release date, eluding to either a restock or pure cases.

    I ordered mine when it was available for pre-order. The date of availability was pushed back.

    Just got Cobra Commander today from CMDStore and just realized that he doesn't have a holster for his gun unlike the Snake Supreme version going on sale before Pulsecon. That's a bit disappointing, but I still prefer this color scheme so I guess it's not a terribly big deal. Just feels odd looking at the pics of Snake Supreme it appears to be attached to the belt, but I guess maybe it's a separate piece made for that version? Shame, but again not enough of an issue to make me get that version instead when I've already got this one. Overall I really like him... the figure just has so much personality... especially with the pointing finger and "rage hand". :lol  Only complaint is that the sculpt of the torso really limits the ab crunch to the point of being worthless. I don't really care honestly as CC never struck me as someone who needed to be put in a bunch of dynamic poses though. I can't look at this figure on my shelf with Destro and Baroness and not hear Chris Latta's voice in my head. :lol
