Well, BBTS has them listed as coming in sometime this month, but then again, that's just when Hasbro told them to expect them. I've seen items BBTS expected one month end up several months late. Make of that what you will.

Personally, I don't really expect them until late february at the earliest, more likely March.

I hate to be the "guy who knew a guy who knew a guy" but we're pretty lucky in SW Ohio as far as a tight knit group and the system's made most people happy soon after the "word's dropped on the 'net." If it makes everyone happy, I still don't have them either... :(

FOUND a case of them this morning on the way to work at a local Walmart. Shot a quick pic in the front seat of the car.

Now I can't wait to get home tonight!

Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

Wow... Considering what I heard what happened going down to look for them, that was a REAL crappy trip, man :( Any battle damage or cool scars?

I actually really like the Snake Eyes and storm shadow set. Those versions are unique enough for me to not feel like a sucker for rebuying them.

Plus, the Storm Shadow is just freaking amazing!

Found in CR, IA also. Haven't cracked them open yet, but I gotta say, just on quick perusal, The bodys look pretty good, but I'm a bit disappointed with the heads. They all seem either small, or not very much like the originals. Maybe when I crack them open, I'll change my mind.
