Hey folks, I ordered the Generations wave 3 four-pack from BBTS, this was my first time buying figures online, I just couldn't wait for them to appear at retail. I was very impressed with how quickly they arrived. However, I have a question about Sgt. Kup. Mine has a blue-colored eye on the left, and a clear eye on the right. I noticed that he doesn't look like this in the gallery here. Is this a flaw?

A side note: I just saw both Kup and Scourge at my local WalMart today.

sure sounds like a flaw to me, mine is not like that at all. you could buy some clear blue paint and paint the light piping in his head

Hmmm...oh well, it doesn't bother me all that much, it's a great figure overall, it's only noticeable if you look closely. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hey could be worse man, just think of him as your David Bowie edition of Kup. Don't like David Bowie? Well like I said could be worse!

An old veteran like him is bound to have some flaws.

Shouldn't be a problem if you get the replacement iGear head for Kup anyway,

I saw both Blurr and Kup side-by side today, and had a sudden urge to get them to go with Hot Rod. Should I get at least Kup? Is he worth the $11 from WalMart?

You should get both!

I might just do that. For some reason the sniper rifles they both have given me an itch to get them. They would look cool together, even without Hot Rod in the middle. But that would be $22 out of my BotCon fund, so I'll think about it. I have until tomorrow morning...

heh. I thought of that too.

Oh, forgot to mention, after I posted this last night I went out and got a second Kup from Walmart, will probably leave this one in package. Hurts the pocketbook but oh well. And to those questioning whether to buy him or not, absolutely positively yes, he's a great figure IMO.

They're both totally worth it. Whether they're worth spending money out of your botcon account is up to you(almost didn't get Warpath yesterday for that same reason!), but they look awesome with the Rod, Protector armor or not.

I bought him, but skipped on Blurr. For some reason his robot mode is just not doing it for me. Maybe once I have Hot Rod and Kup standing next to each other, it will seem that there's something missing...
