Friday sweet!

I keep a MOC Collection of all single carded releases because I love the retro packaging so ordering the 6 American-cards from eBay wasn't out of the picture for me - I just got tired of waiting on my online retailer to get them in.

Canadian-carded Joes is what I open up for my loose collection (for some Bazooka and BAT good-ness!!!).  So I'm looking forward to picking the shelves clean of wave 9 this Friday!  Have the day off too so I might just hit up a few Wal*Marts and TRU around my area.

Thanks for the heads-up Mike!

I was making a joke.  :-

"Murphy's Law" - since you bought them on ebay, you just "KNOW" you're gonna find them by Friday, or Thursday, Sunday, (pick a day).

I have no clue when they'll be out here... but I know whenever I bought something on ebay, and it's "current", I usually find it in a few days. ;-)   :lol:

What....Wave 9 is coming out this Friday!!!  SWEET!!  :shifty:

Based on when the press photo were released I'd guess we won't see them until August...but what do I know?

I was in northern PA and found two wave nine figs.
BBQ, and Bazooka.

BBQ is great (even though I never really cared for the original figure)
Bazooka is really good, however he is larger than the other 25thA figures - the same about 1/4
 taller than the other figures including RoadBlock.

As he should be :)

No more depiction of some out-of-shape balding ex-jock security guard.  The 25th line has done justice to the character - if you're carrying a big honkin' bazooka then you should be built like a brick wall.  I'm loving that he's bigger in stature than Roadblock and Destro!

why must you tease me! :o

Because it's fun?

Lol. Let's just say this. If I were a betting man, my money would be on Wave 9 being at Canadian retail well before the month is out.  Or something  :shifty:
