Ooooo! Still looking good. Most interesting part:
Safety Warning: This Product is for Adult Collectors. It may contain sharp points, small parts that are choking hazards, and other elements that are not suitable for children under 16 years of age.

They added that to pretty much all of the items on the store. Probably to save them any hassle from parents.

Nice! That's the Snake Eyes I wanted, he's even in his original pose from the card art.

These look great! my only disappointment is the Crimson Guard isn't in a shooting pose. Snake Eyes is my favorite of the set.

I would've preferred him in a shooting pose also but he is sort of in his card art pose, so I'll take it. Looks really good otherwise. It just cracks me up how so many of these look more like the characters than the 25th figures themselves. I wonder if Cobra Commander's gun is on his back.

Wave 2 and the Wave 3 pre-order are both sold out at BBTS. Hopefully this is a sign that these are selling well. Each wave seems better than the previous one, IMO.

I snagged one of the last (if not the last) Wave 3 pre-order this morning. I e-mailed BBTS Customer Care, and the lady told me they don't have more Wave 2 coming in as of now, but that may change. I hope so. I'm looking forward to doing a big RH and CH pile of loot in the early part of the year.

Just got an email from BBTS, that Hasbro has cancelled these. I know that some of the 25th vehicles had the same thing happen. Hopefully, they've just been delayed... or something.

Is that typical for a delayed product? I got the same e-mail, and I' going to be pissed if the tanked the line already. I can't believe that they would, especially with the movie coming up.

I don't know, I emailed BBTS seeing if they had any insight, they probably won't know for sure either. Yeah, that will really suck if the line is dead, but I just don't see that happening already. Like you said about the movie, maybe it was delayed to correspond with the movie toys release. Then again, these are classic designs and not movie designs, so who knows.

I really like this series, and hope it continues. If they made several Hulk series, then I am sure they should continue to make a few more G.I. Joe series. Wave 2 has not even hit store shelves out near me yet. And Series 1 is only a few weeks old. I hope that Hasbro gives it some time.

Perhaps Wave 3 is on hold due to some changes.
I doubt it's cancelled. As they're doing Combat Heroes in the Movie Style also.
