Hasbro offers replacement bullets. The best bet with Electro would be getting some of those from Hasbro.
Not quite what I'd call a booster pull, but I picked up the Ghost Rider starter set.
Blackheart--special is 16/26. His uppercut strike seems weak, but I don't see any trouble knocking over the target figure with it. Multiple kills are out, but for an uppercut figure that's a luxury
Abigor--This figure seems ordinary until you check the special rate. 20pt medium based and what you could call a medium missile, and 18/26 attackback for the hidden. Thats incredible.
Ghost Rider--20pt quality strike with 12 speed. Vengence(attacker) like Yoda, and its 13/26. This guy is scary. Possibly the best 20pt striker ever.
Western Ghost Rider--20pt medium launcher, intersting sculpt, and 10/26 Vengence(warrior). Also nice.

My Ghost Rider has a chain that bends like rubber... does anyone have a very strong/sturdy chain? The prototype GR I have is BETTER than the Jedi Knight, but this guy fully painted guy is pretty limp... Plus, I got all red bullets with my Electros

My Ghost Rider's chain is slightly rubbery, but I don't really see this having that big of an impact on the strike. It will bend if you bend it. If you just place the figure on the table and look at it stays perfectly straight.

Right, mine only bends IF you apply pressure, but this is the FIRST striker that I have used that has a limp/bendy striking weapon. I think the chain should be as sturdy and solid as a lightsaber... is everyone's chain bending under pressure?

I pulled the following figures:
Pyro x2 (1 of them is chrome) Punisher Dare Devil Elektra Pole swinging spidey Arm swinging spidey Thor Electro (Yellow bullet) Mystique Doc Ock Captain America (disc throwing)
That is all. Overall I am happy to only have 1 double, but am dissapointed not to have any X-Men.

Found 6 Boosters and the Ghost Rider Starter Set.
Booster Pulls:
Beast x2 - absolutely awesome Beast (Chrome) x1 Spiderman (Arm Swinger) x1 - would be great if his arm did not rotate, has tendency to swing up Elektra x1 - great spring, crappy attack, crappy paint job, light as can be and will get killed by anything Punisher x1 - has a black bullet Venom x1 - arm needed to be repositioned as well Daredevil x1 - arm needs repositioning, strong spring, but stick gets caught in between most figures legs Magneto x1 - awesome, but front heavy because of the big hunk of flying metal Captain America x1 - awesome, disk shoots well Mystique x1 - awesome, steal any of your opponent's figures Spiderman (Pole Kicker) x1 - nice ability, attack is hard to use, figures get caught between the pole and his foot
Ghost Rider Starter Set:
Western Ghost Rider - neat sculpt, good attack Ghost Rider - chain is flimsy but that seems to pack more of a punch, absolutely awesome, knocks over anything Abigor - decent for 20 points Blackheart - too expensive, attack works well if you position it right

Interesting, very interesting. All I know is that I currently have in my possession an Electro with the yellow missile of weirdness. Perhaps I just got very lucky and got a semi-prototype version? Or maybe the packaging system (whether human or otherwise) messed up and started putting in large red missiles instead of the yellow ones? Here's a picture to prove it (bad lighting, sorry): I'd say that you were rather lucky! Sweet looking missle!

DarthJarJar, I felt the same way about Captain A. I do have to admit though, that after playing with him a few time that I can see him being very good. I like his sheild flying ability. Very unique for knocking over multiples with a shooter.
