More of a squad builder myself so about 6 to 12 figures of one type is about as far as I ever go with things. Still it's always fun to see other people's army be it a really cool new figure or some odd ball figure other people would not have army built with.

Ha ha, I mean I did buy enough of the internet packs to get a squad of 12 red semi-clear BATs so BATs are just addictive.

After some disapoints with the last wave of figures I bet wave 9 is going to bring back the excitement for some of us again. Oy, lets just hope they BAT like they Blue Shirted so I can build a BAT squad without e-Bay prices or having to buy more than one full wave 9 case to get them.

Rather than create a new post, thought I'd dig this one up again -

I >>>can't WAIT<<< for these upcoming weeks!!!!

It's like friggin christmas - and I think it's even more exciting because we're actually seeing new product on Canadian store shelves this time around instead of the lame Big Ben/Snow Job 2-packs from years gone by!

I can't wait to see pics of new product from the Joe Convention next week!!!! I see it starts on the 25th but I hope we dont have to wait until next weekend for leaked pics!

I can't wait til the West Coasters start reporting in that they've found 2k8 wave 5 (wave 9)

I can't wait for the end of June when they estimate 2k8 wave 5 (wave 9) to hit all retail shelves

I can't wait for SDCC in July - well ok, I can...compared to the other stuff

I've never been this excited to be a fan!

Yeah it is pretty exciting.

The next couple of weeks will bring us info (since Hasbro's main answer to the recent Q & A was: It'll be revealed at the 2008 JoeCon...) and we're soon getting a new wave (which I think will be premiered at the con, neh?)

You know, I was thinking about getting one of these BATs when it came out. Now I wonder if I'll be able to find any!

I hope that the owner doesn't live in an area prone to earthquakes...

I'm confused, if you have the ability to get them, why do you have to hide them from the wife?

I had 60 blueshirts, and my wife was down with it, then she saw the BBTS preorder thing, she was not down with it.

Its hard to explain to the wife that I would be putting back those figure, when I found them in stores, lol.

Still, I second the notion on getting loads of bats, I want around a dozen, that'll be enough to keep me happy and luckily I'm at a point where I can pay scalpers to hunt them for me,

Now, if I want 200 of them, wow, I think you're right, go to the factory,
