    I'm missing something. what's the reference here? I'm a big MASK fan, but I don't have the figure yet.

    WTF, $9.89?! So they tease us with that $4.99 BS then jack it up even higher than it was previously?

    Prices on toys have been going down lately. Transformers is where I'm noticing it, and some other toy lines in the store. That just doesn't make any sense....

    At least the wave 7 comic packs are showing up in my area. I got Rock 'N Roll & Deep Six and Iron Grenadier & Viper today but just missed Cobra "Fred VII" Commander & Gung-Ho plus the two wave 6 carry overs Beachhead & Dataframe (Mainframe) and Hard Master & Snake Eyes.

    I was going to say, I know that the spectrum was trakker's helmet, but I thought it came with one. like I said, I don't have the figure yet. how much different is this custom?

    not much of one. Matt Trakker DOES come with a helmet, but it's not considered "spectrum" in the Bio. no mention of it at all, the helmet was a LOOSE reference to the original mask toy,but needed alot of work. im using the animation model.

    the only work i've done to it is the yellow putty so far, and chiseled out the visor to give it more depth.

    Has anybody found the final Mass Device DVD pack at retail? Nothing but the first 2 sets in SoCal.

    I want to build the damn thing so Cobra can rule the world.

    I've seen some reports of sets 3, 4, and 5 at retail, even a few in Georgia. Sadly I haven't seen anything past the first 2 at retail. Looks like online is the best bet right now.
