SNAKE armor for the win. Televiper is also excellent.
Breaker is good, the divers are great.

Cover Girl - OK, Flint - OK I agree not much of a retro look.
Darkon and Slice & Dice are also OK.

The AWE Striker is flawed,  it is the front tires, makes it look too much like a Toy and not a real world vehicle.  It also appears to be a little to short length wise.

I could see 3rd party move in.  I think this is just a toe in the water product.

I also get the impression that Hasbro Canada will become a thing of the past.

Dial-Tone, SAW Viper, wave has begun to show up for Pre-order on a consistent basis on Amazon.  Haven't seen the three new Retro Cardback figures on Amazon yet.

General Joe Talk / Hasbro Rumours

I have been hearing rumblings through the grape vine that Hasbro isn't in a good place financially.  They have changed they way suppliers can place orders, basically cash up front of pre-orders.  I have heard from two reliable sources that if you are placing pre-orders on any upcoming waves go with a place like amazon, that doesn't ask for cash up front as the waves might not be fulfilled.

This totally sucks, but based on the recent public news from Hasbro about financial losses, mixed earning reports, and layoffs it isn't really shocking to hear.
Also why are they licensing all of their product to other companies?  Short term gain and quick revenue?

Agreed on Road-Pig!!  I am in Halton Hills and the last two walmart visits had the 60th Anniversary Sniper and ParaTrooper both swapped for other crap figures.    The person at the return counter must be blind, or does give a crap (I assume the later).  Best part was the box of the Sniper was beat up and damaged, but was still full price!

So I haven't seen any figure swapping at Toysrus recently, probably because they changed their return policy on action figures.  Sadly Walmart is no the home of this scum.   Power Ranger figures and discount Marvel Legends are what are being stuffed into Classified window boxes.

I haven't picked up anything yet.  Halo jumper and Sniper are probably the only two that I didn't grab when they came out.

This is good news!  Glad he is putting out content again.

Hopefully the Amazon/Walmart/Toysrus of Canada don't see this as an opportunity to increase their price buy a dollar or two.
