Man Super7 finally killed it with a wave.   

While wave 1 was cool, especially the Twins in suits, the rest of the wave was kind of "expected" choices that really weren't anything too new.   Just mostly characters we already have in different looks we never had as figures.

This time around we get 2 of the same (Serpentor and Duke), but then they throw in 2 never before made figures, and both of them are large O-ring figures!!!

I also like the look of Serpentor.  I think he is different enough to warrant a purchase.   However Ramar and the Fatal Fluffy are instant buys when I can find them.   I love how both of them turned out.  The looks are spot on and they will go great with my other O-ring figs even though most of them are not really Sunbow looks but rather toy looks.   

Great work this time Super7.  Also it looks like they are the regular O-ring price and not inflated due to their size.

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.

Where abouts are you located?

I'm in Ottawa and I haven't seen figure swapping in a while.   Of course it doesn't help that there isn't much to see on shelves to begin with.   TRU is the only place with more than one or two figures on the pegs.  Walmart is hit or miss.  Some local ones have nothing, and others have a couple here and there but nothing really desirable.   Gamestop is okay, but that is probably because they aren't quite as clueless as Walmart.

As for Classified itself, I am almost all caught up on releases (outside of a couple older ones I still haven't acquired).   Just need to pick up Alpine and then I am done until the SAW Viper wave starts showing up.   Recently got Road Pig and man-o-man is he a great figure.  I know there are complaints about his body shape and stomach tatoo, but I think they did a great job with him.   I can see him either way with, or without, the tatoo, but I think his more football lineman body type over huge bodybuilder type is a better look for him.

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.

happy new year!
