Just snagged this guy from the Balls*Mart clearance toy isle. He is quite awesome. Though it would weigh him down too much for urban fighting, I wish he had a way to carry all the awesome gear he comes way. Either way, I was glad to snag him. I need to get a bunch more. Who else found something awesome recently?

I actually found this guy yesterday while out to lunch. Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw him sitting right there at the front of a peg of Joes. I thought the exclusives were long since sold out since they were part of wave 1, iirc. I only got back into Joes when wave 3 was starting to come out, so I'm glad I got the chance to pick this guy up.

Found like, 4 of those guys yesterday at Wal-Mart. Totally glad to, since I was kinda up in the air about getting into Joes.

Boy, was I wrong. Buttload of awesome accessories, and very good joints and standing ability on his own.

The exclusives were released at the same time as wave 1 but they're not actually part of any wave as case assortments consisted of only the two exclusive figures. Toys R Us has some strange distribution so they could still have pallets of them in their distribution centers.

Yeah, Shockies are just superb. In case you haven't noticed, the right wrist has a vertical rotation joint (and the left has an obvious horizontal joint, of course). Wave 3 Snake Eyes has that vert. joint too, on both his wrists. I had that figure for like a month before I discovered that, haha.

Helps so much in holding weapons naturally, love it.

>>2315777
Ahh, gotcha, no wonder Quick Kick was placed on the peg in front of a bunch of wave 3 stuff. Still feel pretty lucky to find it!

I love Quick Kick. Pick up Spirit Iron Knife if you find it, too.

A lot of the TRU exclusives were good. The Firefly from way back during ROC wave 1 was amazing, too.

I found 9, yes 9, Shock Troopers on the pegs at Walmart the other day. I saw at least 10 of them at various places (Target, TRU) in the month before that. I thought I'd never see a single one, now they're all over the place.

Fucking great figure.

Now that you mention 'em... haha, got 'em both from soldiers in the BST. No filecards which is a minor bummer, but bought them at the very definition of "bro price". Superb figures, absolutely love them.

Fucking nice! Hell, at $3 I would have even bought an Arctic Destro.

Oh, sweet! I heard that Firefly is pretty rare. I was lucky enough to find it at retail.

You're not missing much with the filecards, since they're not exactly Larry Hama quality.

Heh, yeah, that's just my OCD talking. I never actually DO anything with all the filecards/boxes I save (there are more than a few I haven't even read), I guess I just like knowing that I have them, haha.

He's a Range Viper, comes with the deluxe Twin Gun Terror, definitely a nice looking figure. Really like the slightly metallic green paint used for the shoulder armor and stuff. The helmet is awesome.

And the helmet is removable! His other accessories are his pistol (in the front holster) and an M-60 (with no ammo belt, bleh).

he wasn't rare, people were just lazy about buying him until well after the fact.

He was sort of rare in brick-and-mortar stores in a lot of regions. Wave 2 hit right after wave 1 and because of the glut of Arctic Destros / Dustys most stores didn't stock the wave 2 revision assortment w/wave 1 figures that was meant to help compensate for the quick release of the second wave.

oh wait, nevermind. I thought it was PoC Firefly. But Toys R Us exclusive RoC Firefly was one of the harder ones to get ahold of because it was popular.

Not rare at all.

He was uncommon, but if you came in frequently, you'd find him at least once a week or more.
