Another thread returns from the Great Beyond!!!

Apparently Spartan Collection series 7 has begun showing up at Gamestop stores around the U.S.  It's not on the website and, according to store employees, it's not listed in the system yet.  

Alice-130 (Halo Wars)
Frederic-104 (Blue Team-- FINAL MEMBER)
HALO 3 Master Chief (John-117)

Good hunting all!  (And if anyone finds a spare Fred-104 I'll GLADLY take him off of your hands!)

May be an image of toy and text

Oh man, Halo 3 Chief... I'll have to hunt him down. Alice is really cool to see as well! I definitely hope some of these parts are reused to make Cal-141 soon, she's my favorite Spartan.

I grabbed Fred, now I need to go find Alice. Hopefully we get Douglas next wave. I really hope this series continues. Book characters would be cool like Kurt, the Ferrets, and Locke's team.

In which state did you find them?  I keep checking the Gamestops near me but no joy so far.

I'm still looking for the Halo 1 Master Chief with the good knees. My targets have cleared all the Halo product out. The one I bought from Gamestop turned out to have the bad knees and nothing on ebay looks accurate.

So, no mention of the Yokai figure that was shown on the Wave 7 packages.    Is that figure still coming?  I can find almost no mention of it anywhere on line,  no sites have pre-sales for it.      Is that a figure that is still getting made, do we know?     I honestly don't care about Halo much at all,  but I really like my Yoroi figure and was really hoping to grab Yokai to go with it -  but now I'm worried it won't make it out.

 

Anyone know anything?

I stumbled across a Fred today without even realizing this wave had been released. Hoping to find a Halo 3 Chief. I wonder if this means the line is still going, or whether this is the last. Nice to have Blue Team finished, either way.

I haven't kept up to date with this series (was hoping the 4" figures would be easier to get ahold of than they have), but out of curiosity, how much of a PITA would it be to get all 4 members of Blue Team at this point? Also, has the Agryna I saw in the SDCC display been released yet?

On the topic of book characters I'd like to see figures of, I'd love to see them dive into the Kilo-5 trilogy, or at the very least make a figure of Naomi.

Was able to get my hands on 3 of the 4 series 8 figures. Still have not been anle to find anything from series 7 aside from Master Chief. The distribution on these is baffling to me. Figures look nice though, and glad we continue to get vac metal visors despite how the prototypes looked.

Tried ordering a few Belos (think he makes a cool troop builder) and a Agryna off the Gamestop website last night.   Once again, their site (and app) just won't accept my credit card or Paypal.  Had the same thing happen last year when I tried ordering something from them.   Their customer service doesn't know why this is happening either.  So...I went into their closest store and ordered the figures there.  I really really don't like Gamestop.

My store doesn't seem to have gotten in wave 7.  And the guy who helped me there today said there's no way for him to check if they're ever getting them.  Maybe they'll pop up on the website soon, since wave 8 has.

I'm really hoping Jazwares puts this line on their online store.  Dealing with Gamestop as the only resource for this line is disappointing as all hell.

After watching some reviews for wave 8, how can Jazwares still not figure out how to make torso articulation functional?  I know they never switched away from hinged hands on their 6" Fortnite figures, and now they don't seem to have an interest in making functional torso articulation for their 6" Halo figures.  Do they ever learn from their mistakes?

Jazwares is such a strange company. I thought they had so much promise during the Fortnite days, but theyve mostly squandered any goodwill I had since then.

It's wild how much better the torso articulation joints are on Jazwares AEW figures than any of their other lines.  They're almost as good as JADA's street fighter figures which I think we can all agree are the best-articulated domestic toy line at the $20-30 price point.  But they've been plugging away with these Halo figures for years now and the torso articulation is still 100% worthless.  I guess they can rotate (sometimes, depending on armor).  Wowee
