Very much so.  I can't really afford to buy anything, lately...  I'm going to have to be VERY picky if and when the next wave hits.  I think a lot of people are in the same boat

I think that's directly related to the high MSRP, in correlation with the economic situation

That could very well be.  Even if you look at something as popular as Transformers the product lines at higher price points don't seem to be moving that well.

I think the high price point is also a "subtle" message to retailers from the customers.  We have a dollar that is below 80 cents for the first time in 3 years.  We have had parity (basically) for almost a year.  We, especially in the collector community, aren't going to just fall in line with 30% or more price differences anymore.  Unless the dollar really tanks we just won't buy.

I just wish we would get the DVD packs on the East Coast, I haven't seen a thing.

Got a package from a buddy of mine.  I bought a Rock N Roll figure from him, and he even threw in a RAM for free!
Needless to say, I'm no longer going to be waiting for the RAM/Trubble Bubble wave! ;D

I have to admit the case assortment on the vehicles is very strange. I could understand a 1 of each of the 4 vehicles per case, but I think it is 1xVamp, 1xRam/TroubleBubble then 2 of the other ones for a total of 6.
Does anyone know the case breakdown for sure?

The original US assortment for Wave 1 was 1 of each of the four sets.  Then when they came out with Bilingual packaging it seems like they went to 2x HISS & 2x Armadillo Vs Air Chariot for whatever reason.
