    Oh god, I just figured it out----the "glowing" bits on Scarlett and Roadblock---Hasbro is STILL using up their supply of "Allspark blue" paint!

    (I honestly think Duke and Roadblock should switch greens----Roadblock's should be deeper and more intense, and Duke's more faded). Duke is overall, oversaturated. He should be tan and olive, not yellow and green...

    Preordered all 3 + the ML Leader figure from the game verse wave. I was hoping the Star Wars ESB Carded wave would drop but I guess not.

    Anyway, Duke looks way better in the promo pics. The real disappointment of the wave is Ma-deuce.

    What a waste of time and such a piss poor excuse of a major brand relaunch presentation. Hasbro needs to fire the joe marketing team. Ghostbusters was treated with higher regard, and the brand that made the company, made collecting toys a hobby was treated like shit.

    Its worth it. I was able to grab a couple of Spengler wands. They will be 4-$500 in a year or, two.


    Is Jazwares not doing anything?

    Preorders of Duke, Scarlett and Roadblock are LIVE at Walmart and Amazon.

    Knowing is half the battle!

    I don't know anything about GI Joe but Scarlet is the probably the most enticing figure of all the things you can preorder currently. To me anyway. Legends is a busy until mid-year, and nothing for Star Wars either.

    BBTS, if you say June, you better damn well mean June and not next week, I've pre-ordered a considerable number of Hasbro products which always hit way before I'm prepared.

    Time to start saving up for these, hope tax season is generous for me this year, it'd be nice to have half the funds deposited before the end of March.

    So no Destro reveal huh? Wonder if they changed their wave 1 lineup or since these aren't out until June if they just aren't ready to show him off?

    I'm really liking the look of the new figures. When do you think that Destro will be revealed? He was listed to be in the first wave, so I think it has to be sometime soon. I mean, this line rolls out in June.

    I have a feeling I will like the Cobras they have coming. It looks like at least they got the colors on the Cobras right from the artwork.

    I preordered Duke and Scarlett, but I can't do that V2 Roadblock. I never liked the V2 Roadblock anyway, ever since 1986 when I was a kid. lol... Literally the LAST 25th figure I got, like only fairly recently super cheap off ebay. He has a semi permanent place in the back of the HAVOC.

    I'll wait for the non exclusive Snake Eyes. and keep my hopes up for the reveal of the Cobras.
