Ahhh...
You know, I love how Gyre politely tells people not to post discussions and comments in that thread and that's exactly what people are doing. Why don't they just start a new thread on the topic instead of doing exactly what he asked them not to do? Sheesh. |

So back to Kickstart, lol

Kickstart's file card is an improvement as far as the new file cards go. I'm just not liking the figure that much--too much of a generic kitbash.

Yeah, I'm NOT a fan of "Resolute" Legs. The "Spats" are stupid, and I don't like the molded guns on their hips.

I've noticed that "Real File Cards" have been mentioned by quite a few people on Gyre's thread...
And just where are those pretenders now? Where have they been for the past 2 years? Posers want to pretend they care about file cards. Everybody wants to get on the file card bandwagon. Suddenly it's cool to like the file cards again. Punks ;) (I'm obviously just kidding.)

Im excited about Kickstart. In not sure if Im using Mech's yet or not. But Im planning to use him as the vehicles getaway driver as "Jumpstart" for Charlie Squad "The Groundpounders".
I've been using the Sgt Stone (ROC) with the MegaMarines Squad thanks to Oliverbox's revelation. But my recent idea that Lieutenant Stone (Sigma 6) was Hasbro's answer to Action Force Flint. So we dont have two Flint's running around. But now I have two Stone's running around. I cant decide which one will be Stone. Because I know we all need Marines. I just hope we see the Alpha-wave Tiger Claw Leatherneck. Other ideas of the new figures of POC... -Im using Jungle Duke wave 1 as SSgt Savage. -Wave 3 Duke as MSgt Striker -Recondo, Im wanting to use as Digger, but it's screaming Gnawgahyde. They should have used the name Digger since ROC/POC is an International Force. Do other countries use the term Recondo or is it strictly US Army? -Cant wait for Sniper Lowlight and SnowJob. -Spirit, the 25th I passed on, I like this figure better. -Zartan as Sandstorm, the Tiger Force Driver. -Dusty, Since I missed the MASS dvd pack and if I dont see the Alpha wave Rock-Slide, it might be my only hope, for Dusty. (If I do find the Rockslide version this Dusty will become Dart). -Alpine, great, since I missed the MASS dvd pack. -Quick Kick, just isnt for me, he looks too civilian for me. Im keeping my headswap, the Night Creeper (ROC Walmart 2-pack) with ROC Storm Shadow's head. -The GhostHAWK mk II, I wish it was the Mk I to Force-build. This one looks like an unmanned drone, which might be a plus. (For those of you who saw them "LIVE". Does Tomahawk look too Clutch-like or is there enough of a difference between looks?) -Alley Viper, awesome. -Cobra Shock Troopers, will be a definate multiple purchase, just hope they make a troop builder set. Also, was there confirmation at JOECON that a ROC sequel is official?

Also, was there confirmation at JOECON that a ROC sequel is official? There is always Lt Stone from Extreme as well. He is a Marine, and a Duke Clone so you can pretty much pick an extra Duke. I'll be using The Greatest DVD Duke as Major Stone. That VvValor look is different enough from the iconic Tan shirt Green Pants. Don't know what I'm going to do about the 2011 Duke. He looks like the best ever. Currently I'm using Resolute Duke as my default. And he's also a Major. Even though I think the backbone to any unit is the First Sgt. Duke has always been more of an officer to me. So when Roc gave me that idea I'm sticking to it. I'll also be using Jungle Duke as Sgt Savage, who will actually be my Command Sgt Major. There is also another Lt Stone from your neck of the woods Takedown. Lt. Skip A. Stone Unfortunately I think Ghosthawk is an exact Clutch replica. Which sucks because I'm using the same head for Big Brawler.

But I know most people don't give the filecards much thought, but deep down they have to realize the importance of the filecards. And occasionally they realize hey these things are starting to suck. My angle to fix it is to get Hasbro to give them some more attention by first just adding something as simple as the Birthplace. Hopefully it will improve from there.
