I am blown away by all I've seen so far. The Cobra Arctic and Desert packs are awesome. The Army building pics that'll be coming out of these two packs are going to be INSANE. It's funny, the day I bought another TRU Joe officer's pack to make a Starduster custom, I find the new Officer's pack pics! Glad I didn't open it up yet, AND I saved my receipt.
FINALLY, they made Greenshirts that look RIGHT! For awhile there, I used the green Action Soldier Keychain figures, and then those crappy TRU exclusives came out, finally we get to see them done the right way. And WTF's up with Deep Six? Sculpt him a new head, but keep that crappy body? I'm all about keeping it old school, but this may be a bit far...Totally wasted opportunity there. It's great to see so many opportunities to get Iron Grenadiers...but as most have said...all these damn IG Destros have to go. I'm already socking cash aside for all this stuff. I've pretty much planned on have my paychecks forwarded to direct deposit to Hasbro's account |

I may be in the minority but I love Deep Six. It's so retro it's perfect. Plus the way he was originally is what makes him unique.
Give Hasbro credit on this one, they stayed true. |

The problem is where I put that BIG thing..I got the original already so the other may have to go into my dark basement.
You can dream right? I'm really hoping for it man. I'd love to be able to walk away from a store hauling that big box...

If its the Defiant, I will be able to save some money. When I read through the Marvel comics I skip the issues that deal with space travel. It would be a total waste to release that and than when it goes on clearance Hasbro would say, "See what happens when we give you big items?"
Other big items include the tactical battle platform or the original headquarters. Did you see on the main page under Hasbro Panel Images. It says they would love to do the Flagg or Terrordrome if they can get a store to carry them. Is it time to start petitioning Toys R Us? Why would they do the defiant when demand for the Flagg and the terrordrome is through the roof right now?

The line will only be temporarily put on hold. Hasbro did the same thing with Transformers when the movie hit.Hasbro brought out the classics line a year and a half before the movie to garner transformers interest again before the movie premier.Trans fans were so pissed that they stopped the classics line(they rocked)in favor of full production of movie figs(which sucked a*s imo).After the break in between sequels what did we get back?RIGHT the classics continue,the fans demanded it,and it was lucrative for Hasbro.Gi-joe 25th will not go away,it's way to popular.Hasbro just does not want 25th competing with movie figs,they want you to see the shelfs and not have to make a decision on movie or 25th,no 25th you will probably by the movie stuff.I mean look at it this way GMC almost killed themselves why? They were competing with themselves Pontiac firebird,corvette,camaro,etc...etc...Hasbro does not want to compete with themselves.
I did not even pick up any Classics because they decided to make some exclusives. GM continues to compete with themselves. Cadillacs are by far better than Pontiacs. :p

You know what Golob, I am thinking the same thing! If you read the highlights from TNI, they said it would be something big AND something we would never expect them to release. They mentioned the flagg and dome as a possibility latter but nothing was said about the Defiant!!! Lets keep our fingers crossed!!
