Found them at the local TRU. Three of each three pack, one of each two pack is what they had. I grabbed one of everything. I haven't opened them yet, but I think they look like fun overall. Most are for Christmas from the wife anyway.

What forearms are used for Tombstone? I can't tell from the pics I've seen so far.

This is the first time I've found every figure and passed on all but the outback 3pack. I will probably get more eventually, but they all looked pretty crappy to me.

ARG!
so far still the old price here but I'm sure they will increase them too when they get restocked
only the 3 packs available at my stores

Just noticed the website has raised them up to.

Love how they go out of stock right before they give us a 15% off promo code, then raise the price up.

I just don't like how the female Cobra trooper is so different from torso to legs. Shooters build would have been so much better.

I would've been sooooo much more interested in these, if the Adventure Team dude would've been made.

Or at the very least some other reissues of tougher to find figures like Airtight, Sci Fi, Lifeline, or even a new general release of Dial Tone.

As is... meh. :-/

Having these in hand now, here are some thoughts:

Favorites:
Heavy Duty - Definitely the best of this year's batch
SAW Viper - Planning on swapping the head, but a really good troop builder
Falcon - surprised about this, but he has a spot on my Night Force shelf
Outback - not perfect, but surprisingly good
Shooter - the giant holster needs to be replaced, otherwise a solid addition to the ranks.

Fodder:
Duke - the body construction is weird, but I'm glad to get some more of those PoC Duke heads
Tombstone - I like the idea of the character. Will probably head swap onto another body though
Stiletto - another one that I like the idea of, but the head sculpt is meh.
Cobra Officer - uneven execution. It will need some mods to make it better, but I like that the parts will be useful
Snake Eyes - 100% awesome fodder
Storm Shadow - 100% fodder

The Rest:
Zombie Vipers - will be traded away
BATS - will trade for SAW Vipers
Iron Genadier, Viper - Not sure yet
