There was the space limos the bad guys rode around in; that was kind of cool. I don't think I'm a big enough fan to get one if made, but they're way more memorable than CK's race car.

More than the Miraj, I'd want Sky-Runner.  I know it'd be absolutely huge, but I think it's way more iconic than anything else.

Brian Flynn just confirmed there will be a Copper Kidd toy version (vac metal) but in a distant future.

 

As feared, future vehicles for the line will depend on the sales of the space racer.

 

He is currently working on waves 6 and 7.

EE has shipped my order for Ultimates Wave 3.

BBTS hasn't converted Wave 3 from pre-order to pile of loot yet -  but I imagine it won't be too long.   

This wave was the leanest for me -  I only ordered Hotwing and Mumbo Jumbo.    The sclulpt on Molecular was too soft and awkward for me,  and my display has no room for a dude in a dress shirt and suspenders so Stargazer was an easy skip.   

 

Probably going to be a minute before I have them in hand though since my Pile of Loot is empty and I like to maximize my value on that $4 shipping charge.

I mean it's only $4, but also absolutely!

I thought I was waiting for Elkhorn to hit my PoL, but if a Silverhawks batch gets here first, that might be a harder wait.

I just had my most recent box from BBTS show up at the house yesterday -  it had the Thundercats Wave 7,  a handful of Masterverse figures (King Keldor, Mekanek, etc)  and NECA Savanti Romero....   I like to wait until I have at least 8-10 figures to ship...    but it will be hard to hold off on shipping these new Silverhawks once they are sitting there.

I think we all do it. Even though it's only four bucks, you want to squeeze every last dollar you can out of each PoL shipment. I personally aim for 4+ items that way I can tell myself I spent a buck or less per item on shipping. If there's stuff preordered though that I know is due within the month, then I usually hold out no matter what.

The only problem for me is that a ton of my pre-orders are Super7 Ultimates so there are like 9 items "due within the month"  that were due within the month last month, and the month before that... so it's always got me hesitating to push that "Ship" button.

@panthercult, I go by the status page on Super7's own site. BBTS doesn't update as often as maybe they should.

Speaking of Silverhawks, this in-hand review of Super7's Czarface shows the exact level of shiny I wanted in my Silverhawks. Now I'm mad again.

That would have been perfect. I don't like those Vac-metalized versions either.

I am stupidly eager to get that Czarface figure.    I have all the albums from the group and it's a figure that will fit in perfectly with MOTU and Thundercats displays

 

But I agree that type of silver paint would have been preferable on the Silverhawks.

I received mine today. I'm super happy with Mumbo Jumbo and Mo-Lec-U-Lar (which looks much better than I expected). Hotwing is ok, nothing spectacular. But I'm pretty disappointed with Stargazer. I don't like the yellow paint Super7 chose for his metallic parts. It's very bland.

Another disappointment is the disappearance of the birds with the wings spread out (except for Airshock).

But, overall, I think this wave is solid and I'm eager to see the next ones.

The lack of wing out birds is frustrating.
