New pics, but so far everything looks the same as they did at the con.
Personally, I want to see what other comic-three-packs we can expect past the Dreadnoks, and Scarlett/Breaker/Holo CC.
-
I am more interested to see what product is after this. This was the last assortment planned to be released until the so called "hiatus" was announced. Considering Sigma Six is only about a month away from airing, it hope the 3 3/4 guys are not completely thrown on the back burner.

Those are all nice figures...I like them better and better every wave.
I hope they keep it up...I would hate for these to come and and then have the axe fall.................

Speaking of wave 2 DTC, GIJOEHQ has pre orders up for wave 2 right now. I was going to wait to place my order as I'm still waiting for all the wave 1 stuff I bought, but after thinking about it for the night I placed an order. I think the best deal right now is one of everything for $150.00 (USD). Seems like a lot up front but I know in the long run I'm going to order at least one of everything and since he only had 5 sets left I made my order. He's down to 4 sets now so I thought I'd give you all a heads up.
When I get my wave 1 stuff I'll probably order a bit more then, just to have some army builders and MOC figures.
Also, I got the email saying the Night Watch sets I ordered from them are in the mail so early September should be a good time for mail for me.

I am waiting for my previous pre-orders to arrive before dropping any more coin.

No wave one here either...but HQ says there on the way soon!
I preordered my wave 2 but am sending a money order...which will go out in two weeks!
I am not getting any vehicles...they look good but collecting is alot easier when you only buy the figures...besides where do I put all my vintage 82 to 86 vehisles let alone any figures!!!
Any one getting multiples of the army builders? I got several Crimson Guards but the others do not look go enough for me to get any more than one each loose and mint on card!
That leads me to the question whos getting a set mint on card of these...??? I am getting one loose and one mint on card of each.....I might regret it like when i did the same for Joe vs. Cobra and Spy Troops...but will see!!!

are the Dreadnok/Scarlett comics packs available now/very near future? I'm thinning out my collection a bit so I'm wondering if I should trade off my Buzzer/Ripper/Scarlett figs just yet.
Do the comic pack Dreadnoks come with their original weapons?

Any word on the rest of the DTC wave 1 stuff?

Nothing here yet. I heard a rumour that Hasbro shipped all of its online store orders first before shipping the other online store's inventory ie HQ( the collectors' club got theirs first they were top of the list). The first time I didn't go through them for the new waves and look still waiting. It's not fair to people like Curtis who help out and sell to us in Canada.
-
Good to hear about the orders. I wasn't losing patience with Curtis as this was Hasbro's doing. I had a really good hunch Hasbro was going to do something stupid like this.
But I wasn't going to drop any more coin on pre-orders in the short term as I am getting sick of seeing gas, gas, gas, on my credit card bill each month. I just want to lower the bill for a while. And spending money in which I don't get anything for a couple months doesn't help.

Sweet! Does this mean Loop will get his loose comic-pack Tunnel Rat soon?
If so, I'll be dropping some mo' dough on that Bats pack and ROCC!

I was thinking the same but yet smalljoes as already had 2 orders come in for the wave 1 stuff. I have no inside information on this at all but I get the feeling that Hasbro might be holding back the HQ just because of the pre-orders, but that is just my opinion.
Sort of reminds me of when I use to work in a comic shop about 12 years ago. There were 2 major comic distributors and the place I worked at Titans of Tomorrow (ToT) was having problems with both. The one place I think didn't like fact my boss was late on paying for some of his orders, so we were on credit hold or something like that and that is totally ToT's fault, but the other place had a long time standing relationship with another comic shop that was also downtown Kitchener and the owner of that store had asked the distributor to hold back our orders by a day or two. This was when comics were huge in the 90's, around the death of Superman time so having the comics before the other store by a few days made a big difference, especially when the stores were only a few blocks from each other.
The other store is still there I think but ToT went under 12 years ago. Funny thing, the comic part died so I suggested we start selling vintage Star Wars and other toys and that kept the store running for at least another 6 months.

yep loop t rat ships soon!
and the only thing hasbro told me is they waited till the night watch came in before sending out my order. i dont think the wait next time will be like this
and remember smalljoes is further up the food chain than i am as far hasbro acct goes...so it makes sense they got some of the first bites
