I have to say that this wave is a big hit in my area.  I stopped off at Walmart to pick up another Kylo Ren for my Dark Side shelf and they were all gone...so were the FO Stormtroopers!

I was able to find another Kylo Ren for my Sith shelf and after trying to figure out why it was so hard to get it to stand up, I realized it has two right feet.

This wave completely skipped SoCal as far as I can tell. Wave 3 has been found. But in general, the WM's out here just aren't getting any stock. Maybe 2 stores out of 15. Not even finding remnants.

you got that right, I found poe and finn right before x-mas and that's been it since. state of collecting just has lost its appeal entirely. the only thing I get might be a 5 POA for background character

Should I wait on the FO stormtrooper until it's corrected?

I've lol'd at everyone complaining about that.  The figure is perfect imo.  It's among my favs in a while.

The complaints do seem pretty absurd.  Looking purely at the design and articulation of the figure, it's clear that the people at Hasbro learned a lot from the SA trooper heyday of 2005 - 2012, and utilized some of the best techniques into the design and engineering for the First Order Stormtrooper.  This trooper is awesome in terms of the sculpt and articulation. 

As for the helmet paint apps?  That's something that can be dealt with merely by having a discerning eye when you're shopping in the store.  I've seen some troopers with better paintjobs than others.  If anything, this is a QC issue and not a design error.  And it seems like something that could be resolved in a later wave.

Here are two of the troopers I recently received from WM.com.  They look ten times worse in person.  The right eye almost at the ear on one of them.  I love this figure, but the paint apps and quality control are really weak.

From this moment for all my life. What could I say? Was born to be this way. And what could I say?  Just livin' for today

Now those ones are bad.  I've got quite a few and never saw any that even had the eyes misapplied.
