It'd be nice if these were to show up on HTS. ;) fingers crossed...

I know it would be nice if i find them in stores soon. Especially with all the Christmas shopping about to happen and parents buying them for kids because they are fairly cheap and really cool looking toys

Time for the hunt once again!

I'm still waiting on preorders of wave 3 & 4...

(found at retail or traded for most of them by now - but no sign of the preorders :rolleyes: )

It's NOT released. It JUST shipped from China.

Well....released in the Philippines and released here are two different things ;)

I'd say they're on their way here, but they've only made less than 1/4 of the trip so far

I wasn't a math major or anything, but shouldn't "4" come after "3"? Why are they putting "5" out already?

That is what I am saying too! I don't even have Wave 4 (haven't seen it!)

I picked up wave 4 about three months ago when they were in the boxed set. I honestly hope I never see these at retail because most of them will be guaranteed peg warmers that will be sitting on the pegs until next Thanksgiving. My Walmart and TRU's don't push through stale product so the hotter the waves, the more variety I'll be able to find.

At first I was just wondering if I had missed something about wave four...but I checked Ebay and none are listed.....so whassupwiddat?

I thought the original schedule was to have wave four out by Christmas and then wave five early next year. Did something change?

Well, wave 2 and 3 showed up simultaneously (for me anyway). Wouldn't be suprised if 4 and 5 did too.

Seriously, does anyone check out referenced links anymore...or read beyond the first post of a thread? :rolleyes:

Here's the post from Hisstank:

In it, the poster states that wave 4 & 5 arrived in his shop.....in the Philippines. We'll probably see them around Mid December - Early January in the US

That is what I am saying too! I don't even have Wave 4 (haven't seen it!)

I'm still a little confused ever since we started referring to the "bonus wave" as "Wave 4". :confused: lol...

<edit>...and isn't "Wave 5" really "08 Wave 1"??? Would be nice to have a consensus on the subject...:)

It gets a lil confusing. It should just be wave 5 and so on...Why do Hasbro complicate the simple things!

I tend to agree with this. Nobody is buying the 5 packs anymore, so aside from Storm Shadow and the air troops (or whatever troop is included in the wave 4 cases), I don't think many people will be buying these except for hardcore collectors that want single carded versions and the 5 packs. . .personally, I would only get Duke and Storm Shadow to keep on the card.

It's NOT released. It JUST shipped from China.

So really they are released, if they are in the water on the way to Retail I would consider that released.

HTS has Wave 4 Cobra Commander shipping on 12/13/07
