SSC Beachhead

Re: Beachhead Preview

Looks like he has his crossbow on his back.

As I mentioned in the other thread Beach Head could be the coolest figure in the whole line (especially since they dropped the ball, so to speak, with Firefly). Bring him on!

Yes! Glad Beachhead is coming up. Too bad it will be about Christmas before anyone own one...

Very cool, they are picking some dynamic JOES so far. Now let's see some more Cobras.

Not until they even out the releases.

Re: Beach Head Preview

I don't see him being more than Firefly.

Re: Beach Head Preview

I hope you're right, but they already set a presidence that Flint=$125 which is what the packed out FF cost. So now the price for someone more packed out than Flint should be more expensive, right?

Flint was a pawn blocking the bishops path. They move the pawn up a block and now the bishop (Beach Head) gets to move even farther up the board.

Wasn't Firefly $135?

EDIT: NVM, just saw he's $124. Honestly, if there's enough gear to justify it, that's fine. I don't expect them to give it away, but if he's barebones like Flint, and/or the Ex is ho-hum, I'll just go through an online retailer. In the end, I'll pay considerably less and SS still gets their money.

Re: Beach Head Preview

Nope. The ex firefly was just $125.

My analogy is wrong. This is more like Chinese Checkers. They keep leap frogging the prices with each release. They strategicly held back Beachhead so they can place Flint there at the $125 price so that BH could be $135 for the ex. $130 for reg. and then we just say to ourselves "he comes with more stuff than Flint so whats $10 more?"

Re: Beach Head Preview

i think if he is geared-out $125 is justifiable.

$125 is very justifiable as I was happy paying that for FF and near that for SE. $125 for Flint, not so much.

$135 or $140 for BH? Hmm.

True but I meant more individual Cobra characters, I love the troops but we need some top tier snakes.

Re: Beach Head Preview

Firefly will kick ass if he gets that extra painted head

Re: Beach Head Preview

So is the consensus that we are going to see more than this preview this week at some point?
