Zarana is Wave 5. Wave 4 is just hitting now from reports on GeneralsJoes.com. Wave 5 is on TRU.com but they are limited to 4 per order which sucks. I'm just going to bite the bullet and pay ebay prices to get a full set. If I can armybuild later great but I don't want to miss out on these. Removing the code really screwed the market as people are charging more since they are truly blind bagged now and you can't return the unwanted ones after opening them.
Yes, Wave 4 is OUT!! But still no codes.
I agree, not having codes is a very stupid move by Hasbro, here 's why;
First, they are Hasbro, of course the choice was stupid!
Second, they will be HARDER to find because most people that find a case will buy the whole thing to be sure to get the whole set.
Third, not everyone has the "gift" of feeling the bags. These will have to open every bag they get until they have their set, leading to extras and the set they DO have will all be loose.
I bought a case for $$, leaving the store with none for anyone else that went in that day. With all the other waves, I'd get one of each plus whatever extras I wanted to open and that was it! Done! Now I gotta either try feeling every bag or open a bunch.
Which brings me to point four; most/all the Kreos on the secondary market will be loose, leading to increased value (or maybe decreased?) value of a mint in bag figure. And as Mysterious Stranger said, if want to be sure to get the one you want, you gotta pay extra.
Thanks, Hasbro, for making it even harder to collect.....you big dummies.....
