Odd.

Amazon is indeed not coming up with any results. All DorkSide posted was a screenshot that conveniently leaves out the top part where the address bar would be.
Odd indeed.

If/when these hit I will get one. Amazon did have the previous Retaliation sneak peak 4 pack and Renegades 4 pack. These will sell like hotcakes.

_________________

Yeah, if it's legit, I will most definitely get one.


If it's legit.

I will definitely buy this as well. I bought the other 4-packs too. I wish that Renegades 4-pack would go on sale for $20 again. I'm kicking myself for only buying 1 at the time. Perhaps next Christmas it will do so again.

Guess I can put my Nunchuck and Slice customs on hold.

Anybody got a link to this posting on Hisstank?

Lord, please let this be a real thing we should be getting!



Nunchuk, hell yes. Hopefully he's peasoup green and black with tiger stripes like Ninja Force.

Slice, double hell yes. Sure, I made one but I want an official modern update of him! Star pattern deco and all.

really curious what this Roadblock will be like. personally I would go nuts to see battle-kata RB with darker skin and painted in v1 '84 or v2 '86 colors. or even better, something new an innovative instead of a tribute maybe.

This is the only pack on amazon. It's not that.

If that is a real set, I'm almost certainly getting it.

I suppose there is precedent for something like this happening, back in the DTC days when Amazon revealed the names of all four waves of single pack figures early. Maybe it is coming but was revealed too early by accident?

Apparently the page is only accessible by amazon sellers. Very intriguing, I would dig some good accurate versions of slice and nunchuk, but who knows what this would look like, probably movie version roadblock, cc, some parts combination with or without the right colors for the other two. The two kamakuras that were released were pretty far from the original look. Nunchuk does not need combat boots, the vintage is more like storm shadow hall of hero/5 pack leg wraps. Renegades storm shadow lower arms would probably be the closest. I could dig that. And for slice, I could probably live with renegades storm shadow in all red, but there would be a number of things not quite accurate. The lower arms are more like a cobra soldiers (with molded on dagger etc), and the lower legs are like leather tie on guards. I would hope they do the same paint scheme as the vintage on both of them.

Found this on teh Google. It looks legit, but not a lot of detail there.

No price listed yet but this is definitely a must buy for me. NINJAS!! yeah, I'm there. I'm assuming $40. I wonder what the ETA release is.

I'll have to find someone willing to ship it to me from the States... but that is so bought!
