That would be pretty sweet.

Honestly I find the footlockers kind of cheap looking and feeling. I am good without them.
However if they really wanted to do something like that, why not go the Sigma 6 route? It was such a genius idea to make the top and bottom of the packaging connectable into a footlocker type of storage. Imagine if they could do that with the Classified line?
Of course it would add a ridiculous amount to the cost of the figures so I don't see that ever happening. Though maybe with the deluxe releases?
Oh and I picked up a Big Boa from TRU with the 25% off R Club coupon. It came out to just over $36 after tax, so I save about $4 compared to regular price at other places. Not great, but still saved something. There wasn't much at the location I went to that I either didn't already have, or that I didn't want to spend the money on at the moment. I was going to get the PP Officer/Trooper (whatever) but they were sold out (saw 3 last week).
In any case Big Boa is so great in hand. I already liked the look of the release from all the pics, but man in hand is he fun!!! Great unmasked head, love the bloody wrapped hands!!! The weights!!! I just wish they could have given us the punching bag/stand, but I know that would have bumped up the price.
If you preorder something the chances are high you will get it, but it isn't a guarantee based solely on past experience. I always think back to the episode of Seinfeld where Jerry is supposed to have a rental car and they don't have any in stock. I laugh thinking about how Amazon and Gamestop are the employee at the counter saying they are out of stock and we as the customers are Seinfeld "but I reserved (preordered) it?"
