I'm starting to wonder if the cases were missing Baroness and HISS Driver or whether someone has hoarded them from all Ottawa area Wal-Marts.

As an aside, are these even showing up at TRU? Zellers?

Someone must of beat you to them as the set I picked up for Ed has the Baroness.

I liked the Copperhead/shipwreck comic it even featured the piranha attack boat.  The comic was a little light hearted at times but entertaining none the less. 

I saw two wave 7 snake eyes at my local TRU last week that was all.

Raptor, for the Viper's goggles a drop of crazy-glue  on the back of his helmet will keep the bugger from popping off.  We didn't need the goggles in '86 and we dont really need it in '08.

As for the hands, yeah it sucks - Vipers do one cool gun pointing pose and that's about it :(

I picked up the Copperhead/Shipwreck comic pack from the local comic shop(down town St. Catharines) today and I think to date it's my favorate two pack--love the Copperhead figure and Shippy looks cool in the white buttondown.

I stand corrected.  The Firefly/Stormshadow is my favorite to date.  Cool figures(lots of goodies for each figure) and a great comic--Larry Hama even delves into Firefly's past when a secret is revealed.

The Viper's head looks like a bucket if you take the goggles off.  And considering I am paying 9 bucks for this figure, I shouldn't have to glue them on or worry about how the figure will stand up properly on the stand or hold a gun. Hence, the Viper is at the top of the list of epic phail.

I saw some of these at the Ottawa walmart near me. The other one close by had nothing. The one by me had a mix of wave 7 and 8. Unfortunitly I was only able to snag up a viper, major bludd and the parka snakeeyes. Now they only have one extra major bludd and a viper. Only saw one baroness and no v 3 snakeeyes or duke, spirit or hiss drivers. : (
hope they get more or that they restock often. Also my bro saw one figure from the canadian waves that had silver border on it all the rest here have a white border and no longer shinny foil front.  Is this the same everywhere in Ontario?

Yes, it's same.  The lastest wave (2008 - wave 3 or 25th line wave 6 ) all had the white lettering, including the filler Viper pack for this wave.

Has anyone seen the newest 3 comic packs here in Canada? The wave that has Copperhead/Shipwreck, Firefly/Storm Shadow, and Duke/Red Star in it.
