Reposting my Hasbro thoughts from another thread [later comments]:
Holy crap does that Crimson Scythe look awesome. I wish I had room for vehicles... I've always loved the Skystriker, and with all of the con releases Hasbro has amassed one hell of a colorful collection. I love the included figures too. Gonna have to pick this one up. Oh, and it comes with a Joe HISS and a Grunt and Steeler that don't suck. Yes please!
Might have to pick up the other SDCC set as well. Air Trooper is awesome except for those damn knees. Night Fox, Chuckles, meh. The FOE Striker look amazing, as does the new Horseman.
Going to have to pick up a Silent Striker for the Sightline figure. Damn.
Another HISS, another HISS Driver. Troop repaints, bring em on.
Speaking of, I didn't see a pic of the IG/SB pack. I hope these aren't straight rereleases. [Looks like they are. Pass for me.]
Gung Ho! Yes! Please don't have shitty paint apps. And it comes with a free Shadow Guard!
Storm Shadow looks okay. The camo looks very stark, but that just might be the fact that it's a photo of a slide of a preproduction figure. Spirit... meh. Poor Spirit, can't catch a break.
Looks like they found the stash of Croc Masters and Blowtorches. Good for those that have been waiting, pass for me.
The new Cobra Commander deco looks good, but I don't need another CC. Or another Shipwreck.
Awesome that they're rereleasing Alpine. If Shock Trooper and Rock Viper are straight rereleases (or close enough) I can pass.
I know the Best Of 5-pack was elusive for some, but I wasn't aware that Duke, CC, and the Trooper were that much in demand. So... hooray for those that need 'em.
Blue repaints. What?
Looks like Torpedo uses the build from the cancelled Retaliation night landing Eel [or not]. I may be interested. H&R, Zartan, yeah, those are covered in my collection.
Overall I like it even though it's repaint city. FFS 4 looks really strong name-wise. Execution... we'll see. Billy, (presumably v1) Law and Order, Interrogator, Inferno BAT, Jammer, hell yeah. I thought I read that it was a Night Force version of Nunchuck, hoping that was really supposed to be Ninja Force. I have zero use for TF Sneak Peek, though Outback could be cool. Also, very surprised to not see Big Brawler v1 in that list. Irid, your Brawler may have a home soon.
As for the club exclusives, I'm very interested in a Pythona... and I'm not even unabashedly fixated on female figures! Heartwrencher, meh. She had what, 5 comic panels? Unless IDW did something with her? If they use the Zarana torso yet again that'll be disappointing. It looks like someone draped a cloth over two grapefruits.
Also, to the usuals... I have an extra IG-flavored Annihilator on the way. Let me know if you have a need. Otherwise I'm going to try and scalp the crap out of it. I don't think anyone with a spare Skystriker will have a need for another Annihilator (and probably thinks it should be a 2:1 trade based on ebay).
My OCD is also pestering me for a Felino... the same way it wanted to keep Sparta. My "rule" on internationals (without rules I'd end up with either everything or an empty bank account, whichever came first) is that if it's a unique character/deco, it's a want. Glenda, Gathilo, Shimik, etc. If it's a near-total repaint of something existing, pass. Kangor, Fuego, Condor, etc. Sparta was kind of stuck in the middle because she was originally just a renamed Cover Girl, but the club went and gave her a unique(ish) deco. So I sold mine off (for much much less than it goes for today). Felino is presenting me with the same problem. It's really just Tiger Force Dusty. But I don't have TF Dusty. I do have those boring TF Airtight and Shipwreck figures that came with FFS 2... but they don't have a US analogue. But they're still just sub team repaints that I don't collect. But technically they're unique characters. So it's not all black and white, much to my collecting OCD's dismay.
