Funny how Neo Vipers are Army Builders and they are they are everywhere. I know part of it has to do with kiddies getting the movie figures but lets be honest, if these were Viper or BATS done in movie colours then we would have bought them up when they were $5.00 at Walmart or 2 for $10.00 at TRU.

Neo Vipers are just odd looking and I don't care to have more then one of them. For me it's the head on them that ruins the character.

I bought about 9 Vipers when they were on sale - for either army building or future consideration.

I picked up four of the Neo-Vipers on the half price sale. They're pretty good soldiers. People are too hard on them. Actually they remind me of Centobites from Hellraiser.

I want to like the Neo Vipers but I cant, I bought one to put in my "presents to kids box" and mainly just to fill out the even number for the sale.  The only Neo Viper I like are the upcoming Crimson ones to make a pair of Cobra La Royal Guards.  I like the elite vipers though, bought 2 of them.

TRU Kitchener has restocked with these waves again.  The pegs are jammed full of these figures, and at full price they likely aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

Cambridge Wal~Mart restocked this morning with a few more cases of these same two waves.  It may be a bit early yet to be worrying about this, but the chances of us missing some of the future waves are starting to look pretty high.  Between Wal~Mart, TRU, and Zellers (and to lesser extent Sears), there's just way too much of the first waves sitting out there.

Gah! I hate it when they do that to us. I wish there was a way we could find out the production numbers of the first waves.

I hope its not going to be one of those things where we get a billion of the first wave and nothing new for the next 6 months.

walmart prices on regular figures is now $5, it is not a sale sticker over the old price, that is the new tag.

Good.  That should have been the price from the start.

I wonder if they will up the price again if they sell out of the current waves and get the new ones.  Now we need those vehicles to go down in price too.  There are a lot of Night Ravens out there.
