I would have left them on the cards but I didn't have the display space, and they look pretty cool in my old Technodrome. They look pretty cool in the old Sewer Lair too, but there are a few spots were it is easy to see it was meant for bigger figures. Plus, Shredder and the gang make more sense in the Technodrome.
See I was a child of the 80's and had experienced stuff like "Mego Pocket" as a super, super young kid with my Spider-Man and Batman and Robin figures. And so I appreciate the charm of lines like Super 7 and the new Marvel Retro stuff, and I think that "return to simplicity" is a big part of the appeal there.

But I'm with you 100% in that the perfect sentence was "because of what you get at the price point". Many of us have discussed that now over the course of this thread, but again - looking at my collection records my average-price-paid for a ReAction figure has been 8.68. I've got 30 ReAction figures - that's it. The short of it is that I would never and have never paid anywhere close to retail for those things. And to be honest, the dollar cost average of 8.68 is actually creeping a little too high for my tastes. I want these things at an average cost of 7 bucks each. That's it.

I also saw Mondo and Ray fillet from ReAction series 4 at one of the local Target Stores today. I was shocked to see them in stores so fast.

My FedEx account was just populated with a tracking number from Super 7 directly for wave 4. It hasn’t been picked up yet, but a number has been generated with an estimated arrival of next thursday. I have not yet received a ship notice email from Super 7.

Woohoo! This is the first I've read that Super7 has them. I'd be thrilled to have these before Christmas. This wave is so much stronger than wave 3.

Today FedEx has updated that they received the package and started transit. It’ll be about a week for it to get across country to me. No email from super7 yet saying the order shipped.

Since they're shipping Donnie separately does that mean shipping for the entire wave will be more overall?

I got a Fedex shipping from Napa, CA to be delivered Wednesday. That's likely my Super7 wave, yes? I can't think of what else it would be.

I might actually win the early delivery lotto for once.

Yes, Napa, CA is from where Super7 ships out of, and that’s from where I got my shipment notice from too. Sounds like yours will arrive before mine, since mine is not slated till Friday.

Turbopork was the artist used for both the ReAction card art and Ultimates Party Wagon box art.

Okay, but that doesn't mean it's a Reaction box used for an ultimates party wagon

I hate to say it but for something that costs $500 that artwork looks cheap.
