I got 2 Red Ninjas.

Some of the more common fiction troop builders like Cobra Troopers/Officers, BATS, and Vipers I will go with 3-5, some of the more 2nd tier troopers like Red Ninjas, Alley Vipers, ect, I will go with 2-3.

I definately prefer a classic look to my Joe's, but the Red Ninjas and that Amazon Storm Shadow both look pretty awesome.

 

I got three. Though one is staying in the box and the other is going to a friend, so I guess really only one, haha.

 

Three. Waiting on Alley Vipers and Cobra Troopers to drop in order to determine how much debt I’m gonna go into  

 

Anyone think that Chang-Chi would be a good base for Quick Kick?

 

I am more waiting for the Cobra Soldier. I hope we get an officer as well.

 

Thanks for the heads up, pre-ordered SS before Amazon sold out.

 

Possibly, but Hasbro typically doesn't share molds between lines that often.

 

I can't even think of an example outside of some accessories. Was there ever any character molds that shared toylines in recent history?

 

I thought about it but I think it’s too big.

 

Absolutely

 

Ok, another good suggestion for army building! I’ll take a similar approach to yours.

^Odd listing that I just received an email from BBTS for?

 

They’ve had those in stock for years. BBTS is probably hoping for some mistaken orders lol.

 

Finally got around to ordering all the new figures. I passed on dark blue CC and went for two of the Regals on Pulse. I really, really don’t care for the standard color scheme, the light blue looks great. It’s not often I say this but I like the more toyetic, bright colors. I can’t help but think the Red Ninja Vipers would look so much better if they were super bright red in the way Regal CC is super bright baby blue. Even Duke and the 1st wave has the colors pop. Gung-Ho is a little to too one-note. I wish something as a little more fun there.

 

It is actually a smart sales initiative, several collectors out there will feel some motivation to buy the 3.75 version of the new Destro.

 

So this is what I've preordered so far

2 Exclusive Snake Eyes (in hand)
Wave 1 - Duke, Scarlett, Roadblock, Destro and Snake Eyes
Wave 2 - Gung-Ho, Cobra Commander, Red Ninja
2 more Red Ninja
Regal Cobra Commander
PD Destro
Amazon Storm Shadow

Also got Action Force Sgt Slaughter, Steel Brigade and both weapon packs

 

Another Regal fan... I ordered a Slaughter. I debated doubling-up but I think they’ll do another since they have him might as well hit another version. Gotta hand it to Bobby getting Slaughter is quite a slap in the face to Hasbro. Those Valaverse figures are really growing on me. Resistance is failing.

 

I like getting different variants so if they drop another one I'll pick him up as well. Consider getting the weapon packs, they got a gold AK that would go great with PD Destro.

 

Slaughter is my most anticipated figure. He looks great.

 

Ugh, this is why I hate odd numbered case packs. 2 each would've been preferred.

I haven't ordered any yet, maybe Arctic Storm Shadow later this year. The rest I'll wait to find in-store.
