Did Hasbro say that the waves themselves are themed? I know that each figure/vehicle will be theme-specific, but I wasn't under the impression that all figures in a given wave would all represent one theme (especially considering that ROC wave 5 has characters from each of the different themes). Of course, it would make sense that if you're going to have Arctic figures that you should sell them all during the winter!

Hasbro announced at the con that the Rip Attack vehicles are zip cord vehicles. The pics from the con show the zip cords with the vehicles.

I'm pretty sure, but not positive, that the waves are not themed. I could be wrong, or wasn't paying enough attention at the presentation, but I don't think they mentioned anything about the waves themselves being themed, just that the figures would generally fall into the four themes.

EDIT: Looking at the pics again, it looks like at least the first two waves of 2010 will be primarily themed, with some others mixed in. Mainly wave 1 is arctic (with at least one Jungle figure in there) and wave 2 appears to be mainly Jungle theme (with at least on arctic figure).
