OK................after looking at the latest figures my question is.............who remembers the leaked Wal-Mart info? Wasn't that info deemed unreliable? But looking at the latest figures I'm thinking that info was accurate. Anybody remember????

65356928936 Blade Destro
65356928932 Snow Job 65356928934 Flash 65356928935 Snake Eyes Black 65356928931 Crimson Guard 65356929251 Armor CC 65356929253 Torpedo 65356929254 Major Bludd 65356929252 Rock N Roll 65356929255 Wild Bill That looks pretty accurate Do you think Wild Bill and Major Bludd were canceled or will Wave 7/08 wave 3 be those two new figures and repacks fromt the previous waves? Maybe the standard blueshirt? |

If you combine "rumors" it'd look something like this:
The Wave 6 we've already seen (Rock n' Roll, Torpedo, Battle Armor CC and repacks) Wave 7 consisting of: Major Bludd, Wild Bill, Cobra Viper, (maybe) Tiger Force Flint and repacks |

In fact, if you go back and look through our news archives, you'll find that General Hawk and Slicer-X (what happened to him?) were able to confirm those listings. If I've learned one thing in the three years I've been moderating and the four years (!) I've been a member of this site, it's this: When it comes to G.I. Joe releases or trash cans, listen to Justin. Always. Especially on the trash cans. -------------------- |

I am still here, I've just been super busy lately. I'm sorry I haven't been around to post. Probably one of the biggest reasons, I haven't posted lately is in regards to new info from Wal-Mart. After I released the info I had last time Wal-Mart took everything, but Wave 1 out of their system. My source was worried that they might get in trouble, which is why I haven't posted anything new lately. I'm actually kind of wondering if my relaying of the info is why we didn't see wave 6 at the Joe Con, and possibly why Wild Bill and Major Bludd might be missing from the line up. I can probably clarify the new rumors a bit for you guys if you want. However the second reason I haven't said anything is the tenative lineups for Wave 7 and 8 have almost no new characters in them. If you guys want to see whats in the line up according to Wal-Mart let me know. I will Post it.

Ok first of all I make no claims that this is the stuff we will be getting. As we all know Hasbro can change their minds as often as the average person changes their socks. Secondly All of these figures have different UPCs than anything we know about. None of these are the figures from Waves 4, 5 or 6. Those all have seperate UPCs. No without further ado.
Wave 7 65356930277 Duke 65356930278 Hiss Driver 65356930279 Cobra Viper 65356930280 Spirit 65356930281 Snake Eyes Wave 8 65356930938 Snake Eyes 65356930939 RoadBlock V 65356930940 Cobra Offic 65356930941 Baroness 65356930942 Flint Tiger Forc This is how the descriptions are in the system. I'm guessing the Roadblock is going to be version 2. I thought it was kind of disappointing, that they only had 3 new figs listed However those are 3 great choices. The wave 8 figures I was told about on the Thursday night that was the Sneak Preview night of the convention. So needless to say when Hasbro told us at the convention that Baroness was not going to be available single carded and they weren't planning to do sub teams like Tiger Force, this new info became highly suspect. I still don't think Wave 8 is very likely. However with Wild Bill and Major Bludd missing from Wave 6, They could fit quite well with these figs from either wave. I'm sorry I sat on this info as long as I did. Other than the 3 new characters, I didn't think their would be much to discuss. By the way if someone can get me a UPC from one of the comic packs, I might be able to find out what else is coming. The 1st 10 comic packs for Star Wars next year are in their system. Thanks, Slicer X |

This is a little off topic and I don't have all the UPCs but here goes
Wave 1 Tol Skor and Assaj Ventress Darth Talon and Cade Skywalker Anakin and Durge Wave 2 65356930814 Grand Admiral Thrawn and Talon Karrde <-- Best comic pack of the year bar none Darth Vader and Admiral Trachta Princess Leia and Prince Xizor Wave 3 65356931885 White Vader and Princess Leia 65356931886 Antares Draco and ??? believed to be Ganner Krieg 65356931887 Dengar and Fenn Shysa 65356931888 Tabbi Dala and Leia I can probably get or find the UPCs for the rest of these later Slicer X |

You know since these lists have thus far proven very accurate, I wonder just how accurate the BBTS list is. I know they have preorder items that get changed a lot. So I am crossing my fingers that Wild Bill and Major Bludd will be in Wave 6. Now for the rest of the list I am very excited about Spirit and the Viper, and think the HISS Driver is cool, but the rest just makes me scratch my head. I mean there are so many great characters they could make just by utilizing the current parts they have. Just have new web gear and accessories, and new head sculpts and man we could get some cool figures.

I think Bludd and Wild Bill will be in it and we're just seeing one of the mid-wave revision/filler cases at the moment. Something like this: Wave 3 Rev. 2 "This G.I. Joe 25th Anniversary Action Figures Wave 3 Revision 2 case includes 8 individually packaged characters: 1x Cobra Commander (Hood), 1x Flint, 1x Cobra Red Ninja, 1x Beachhead, 1x Serpentor, 1x Lady Jaye, 1x Firefly, and 1x Cobra Trooper. (Subject to change.)" Wave 3 Rev. 3 "This G.I. Joe 25th Anniversary Action Figures Wave 3 Revision 3 case includes 8 individually packaged characters: 1x Cobra Officer, 1x Cobra Red Ninja, 1x Zartan, 1x Serpentor, 1x Stalker, 1x Buzzer, and 2x Cobra Trooper. (Subject to change.)" -------------------- Airborne Leads The Way!

There's a new thread up in the news section. Let's try to keep Wave 7 and 8 discussion up there, for clarity's sake.
