    Thanks man! I think that’s just a little too small for my Pomeranian, unfortunately…lol. Now, if my wife ever agrees to getting a cat, it would make the most ridiculous cat bed ever.

    Yeah I totally fell to FOMO with that deadline. I ordered from BBTS but ultimately had to cancel and lose the deposit. I just couldn’t find the space…

    Just a quick reminder:

    The code PRETERNIA (among others) gets you 10% off and free Super Saver shipping at Entertainment Earth.

    Unfortunately, the Thundertank CAN'T be shipped via Super Saver shipping but the 10% off still applies.

    CURRENTLY, that works out to about $25 more than BBTS.

    But if they knocked so much as $30 off the price on EE (and EE frequently goes deep with Super7 discounts) then EE would become cheaper.

    Personally, I don't have the space and the price is out of my range. IF EE starts slashing the price though, I might be tempted to make the space.

    Anyone care to comment on this Wily Kit versus the older mold?

    we knew that they would retool her, but it looks like they started from scratch instead. The mold looks all new.

    Wilykit/Wikykat were the 2 Mattel releases that needed the least amount of updates in my opinion, as they were already pinless. Nice to see super7 continue to go above and beyond.

    yeah, he’s badass. And he includes his helmeted head as well:

    I don’t want the expression on the helmeted head.

    There's no indication that this an S7 exclusive, right?

    I think hachiman, the driller, and willa are the only other non-tcats I'm going to get. The rest of the berserkers and the lunataks never did anything for me design-wise.

    Oh, and the Berbils, too ;)

    It becomes relevant and useful the moment you sit him on a toilet!

    they officially titled it “wave 8” (unlike the invisible tygra, ghost Jaga, gitd mumm-ra, and the reptilians wave), so it’ll be available from all online retailers.

    The one new change is that s7 is currently offering 15% off if you buy the whole wave. Been a while since we got wave discounts, which are sorely needed imho.

    edit: just heard that the other retailers will put TC wave 8 up at 3pm EST.

    yeah, that grin is terrible. I’ll probably still display him in his helmet, though.

    They know that once the Kit-Kat are released most will be done with the line. Trying to offer some incentive.
