wow, those figures look really good, esp. the boba. did you order a case from EE. very impresive. how much did the case cost? it seems better to order than to hit the store almost everyday.

Gambit,
The case cost $88 shipped from D&S Toys. I pre-ordered it a few months ago (pre-sold out now). It is definitely cheaper than hitting the stores - I'm pretty much done with that game except for the occasional stop when a Target/Walmart/TRU has an exclusive I'm looking for. I ordered the rest of the UGH cases from EE - hopefully they'll be in soon.
My favorite from this wave by far is the Holiday Boba. Great figure.

What I might do is buy:
Leader Optimus Prime
Voyager Ironhide
Voyager Ratchet
Leader Megatron
Leader Brawl x 2 (I was getting him to go with the line of TFs I do collect - Alts and MPs)
And wait for a Leader Starscream, Leader Blackout, Leader BoneCrusher
as those or even a larger size, could be the only way to approach the correct scale for these Decepticons.
I don't know if it's just me, but I don't really like the new "automorphing technology" on the new Transformers. I like Ironhide, but I can't get his chest/shoulders to sit right when he's in robot mode, because of the stupid springs.
I'm miffed that he didn't get the Givin figure! What is it coming in only certain cases? That would suck if it were rare or if the cantina bar creatures are alternated and swapped out for each other in the various cases.
you're not the only one. i don't like automorphing either, JT's said the same on the TF toy thread. It doesn't even work on Brawl sometimes and for 08 Bee, I'm really worried about the rear windows which aren't too durable to begin with and the automorph mechanisms turn them inward when you pull the legs out.
I was at La Brea Target picking up supplies this late afternoon and happened upon 2 of the Wave 3 comic packs. DarkWoman/A'Sharad and Mara/Luke. Someone must've bought Leia/Vader and had no interest in the other packs. I've only opened up the Dark Woman pack thus far - in spite of Tycho's warnings, the paint apps were pretty good on these. I'm kind of disappointed that A'Sharad's tusken helmet doesn't look that great on him but otherwise it's a nice figure as is An'ya Kuro(Dark Woman).
I got them from D&S Toys. I pre-ordered them a few months ago (pre-sold out now). They have some of the upcoming waves up for pre-order now - I would recommend them if anyone is interested.
Hit a few Targets today looking for clearance items. Ended up with:
3x VTAC Stormtroopers ($2.98 each)
3X VTAC IG-88s ($2.98 each)
2x VTAC Bossks ($2.98 each)
5x Endor Leias ($2.98 each)
3x Bespin Lukes ($2.98 each)
4x Hoth Hans ($2.98 each)
I turned around and returned some of them to Target using my old receipts and got my money back from the 12 figures that I bought at $11.99 a few months ago. Kept the IGs, Bossks and Snowtroopers.:whip:
Also found:
3x LEGO V-Wings ($2.48 each)
1x LEGO B-Wing ($8.74)
