Ever notice how the International Argen7 figures for this years JoeCon all use Snake Eyes as the body and most of them the webgear also?
Sgt. Manleh: Torso/arms/legs - Snake Eyes (Joe 5-pack or Wave 5) Head - Stalker Webgear - Snake Eyes (Joe 5-pack or Wave 5) Machine Gun - Para-Viper Cobra Air Trooper/Stalker UBP Jet Pack with laser gun Sgt. Redmack: Torso/arms/legs - Snake Eyes (Joe 5-pack or Wave 5) Head - Steeler Helmet with clear visor - Flash (Wave 5) Webgear - Snake Eyes (Joe 5-pack or Wave 5) M-16 rifle - Duke (Cut off grenade launcher) Other rifle - Duke (Resolute) Thanks dh! Backpack - Can't tell from pic, but looks same as Sgt. Topson's (could be Duke Wave 4 maybe?) Sgt. Shimik: Torso/legs - Snake Eyes (Joe 5-pack or Wave 5) Arms - Flint Head - Roadblock (Joe 5-pack, DVD pack, Wave 4 or Wave 8) Helmet - Sgt. Bazooka (Wave 9) Thanks dh! Ammo belt - Rock N Roll (Wave 6) Belt - Rock N Roll (Wave 6) AK-47 - Cobra Officer (Scar Face comic pack) Machine Gun - Rock N Roll (Wave 6) Sgt. Topson: Torso/arms/legs - Snake Eyes (Joe 5-pack or Wave 5) Webgear - Snake Eyes (Joe 5-pack or Wave 5) Head - Rock N Roll (Wave 6 repainted hair and beard) Helmet - Any Green Shirt M-16 rifle with grenade launcher - Duke Backpack (?), can't tell from pics but looks same as Sgt. Redmack's (could be Duke Wave 4 maybe?) Even the Cobra Mortal & Invaser use Snake Eyes as a basis!

Agreed. I made a new label for his stand.

No, he's not really cool, but he's OK. No, but the grim reaper might Quote:
Disappointed in Hasbro with ROC Target exclusive Eel/Wavecrusher & Wet Suit/Dragonshark sets, they are pretty much the exact same thing! Wavecrusher & Dragonshark are the same thing, just different colors/stickers and Eel & Wet Suit are same thing, different colors and some different gear. Same thing with Snake Eyes/Cycle & Storm Shadow/Cycle. Surprised they didn't try to pass off the Joe Glider that comes with Grand Slam as a Cobra Rocket Pack or CLAW! I understand the idea of repaints/repacks but in the same store exclusive sets? Next thing you know we are going to be getting a G.I.Joe Surveilance Port and a Cobra L.A.W. from Walmart!
We'll see more of the same over time. Quote:

For snake eyes, a then and now, or an evolution pack is practically garunteed. I hope to have that our later today or tomorrow. |

Two corrections CC:
Sgt. Redmack: Other rifle - RESOLUTE DUKE Sgt. Shimik: Helmet - Bazooka Looks like I'll have to buy me some spare Snake Eyes and a bunch of paint. Or win the lottery... |

I was thinking the same thing looking at the pics, all my extra Snake Eyes might come into use now after all! I'm thinking about doing the complete Argen7 set now.

That's why I wasn't sure, don't have those 25th figures yet. Thanks dh for the corrections, now I know and knowing's........not going to do it!

BTW, E-bay has two listings for the SAF with blades (around 75 + shipping and one for the 3-pack (140 + shipping), so if you really want them, they aren't impossibly overpriced. |

I'm gonna need parts from a few other figures, but knowing that these are probably already sold out, I might as well.

Colonel 37-39 Colonel 40-49 Brigadier General 50-74 Major General 75-99 Lt. General 100+ Chuck Norris And if anyone gets that far I'll figure something else out. FROM ROB I am going to announce the Scenario Rules for you guys. They will be added to the Game thread, as soon as the intro is complete. In the meantime, the teams will now have 12 days to prepare their teams. Best of luck! Cobra and the Night Creepers have invaded Washington!Act 7 Scenario: The White House has been infiltrated. Firefly and the Night Creepers are after hostages! The Vice President has launch codes for two nuclear missiles in his safe, and Cobra wants them. The G.I.Joe team must fight their way past Cobra and rescue the prisoners, and retrieve the launch codes before Cobra can escape in the Steel Crusher! Team Goals/Victory: G.I.JOE: 1) Make your way to the White House (Move Goal = 65). 2) Once there, fight your way into the White House (Defeat 1 named character). 3) Rescue the hostages, before Cobra escapes (Move Goal =175) 4) If Cobra escapes, stop them before they can reach another vehicle (Move Goal =250). 5) If they reach another vehicle, locate the hidden Joe Vamp Mark II (Move Goal =260). 6) Defeat Cobra before they reach the airstrip and escape( KO all characters). COBRA: 1) While in the White House, find the Vice Presidents safe (Move Goal = 65). 2) Crack the safe and get the missile launch codes (Move Goal =125). 3) Escape the White House (Move Goal = 175) 4) Slow down the Joes pursuit (Defeat 1 named character). 5) Find the Hidden Cobra Rage and use it to get away before the Joes find and destroy it (Move Goal =250). 6) Escape to the airport and return to Cobra Island with the launch codes (Move Goal =TBD) Or, defeat the G.I.Joe team and return to Cobra Island (KO all characters). Each team has multiple mini goals. Some you will need to use the move option for, others not. Pay attention to them carefully. As each goal is met, that team will get a "break". Each character on the team will regain 1 HP This does not apply to vehicles. Some goals may not be able to be accomplished, or accomplishing them may result in the completion of the game. Other notable events: The more you move, the better chance you have to find things that can help you. Risk vs. Reward. There are 6 pieces of armor hidden throughout the game. There are 2 Med Kits. ** There are 4 Civilians involved in the game. *** Be aware, there are other things hidden as well, and they are not all helpful. Some damage you, and some give you the ability to damage the opposing team. **Med Kits** There are 2 Med Kits to be found. They are found by reaching the corresponding move goal (random). Med Kits can be used once, and only by a medic or combat medic. When a player is KO’d, instead of their normal turn, a player (medic) may choose to use a Med Kit. Cobra Combat Medic Use Med Kit on Firefly +5 Doing this replaces a players normal Turn. A Med Kit grants a KO’d player 5 HP, and the character is instantly revived. Once revived, that character can be targeted and healed once again. This must be done within 10 friendly (your team) posts of the KO. If it used after that, it does not work, and is lost. When a Med Kit is found, the team Leader, Co Leader or Squad Leader must designate which player will hold it. Only that player may use it. Once this decision is made, the post granting the med kit can NOT be edited. Doing so nullifies it, and the med kit is lost. In other words, a Cobra Soldier posts a move, bringing the teams total to 10MP. The team finds a med kit, and the squad leader posts which medic is now in possession of the med kit, It is handed off to a medic for later use, and stays in his/her possession until it is used. Decide wisely who you give this to, as it may not given away. ***Civilians*** During the game, the teams may encounter non combatants, called civilians. When you reach a specified move amount, your team will encounter a civilian. When this happens, the team will receive 3 options: SAVE IGNORE KILL Each of the choices has benefits, but some also have repercussions. Some have both. A Leader, Co Leader, or Squad Leader must post what they’d like their team to do. They have to do this within 10 friendly (your team) posts. If this is not done, it will automatically be taken as Ignore. GIJOE Squad Leader Soldier Save Civilian GIJOE Leader Soldier Kill Civilian GIJOE Leader Medic Ignore Civilian Once a response is posted, it cannot be edited. Doing so voids the post. Doing this does NOT take the place of a Leaders turn. Each civilian is different, as are their responses. The New Game begins on at midnight on August 19, 2009. I need final rosters, with class assignments, by 8-17-2009. The roster cap is 50. If both teams are even, and wish to add more players, it may be done so, but on a player by player basis. Be advised, the scenario rules may be adjusted prior to start. Final rules will be soldified no later than 8-17-09 |
