I favor the idea of having some duplicates in the waves. It is goddamn impossible to find them all in the stores. So maybe my chances are better when re-released. Too many Snake eyes though.
It reminds me of the star trek that was put out by Art Asylum. They kept reselling the same figures in slightly different variations. God I hate that. It is such a lazy way to get out of working more figure sculpts. Or I suppose if I was optimistic I could say they were trying to get the most out of each existing figure. Regardless, I hope the Flint is cool and I am a big fan of Spirit. Dont worry of course Major Bludd will be done! |

Exactly. Bottom Line = Snake Eyes Sells. |

I say no more Snake eyes should be released unless they are:
-SIGNIFICANTLY different versions -UNIQUE MOLDS This is a bit much, even Sigma 6 did not have Snake Eyes in every wave(though it cut it quite close). |

Snake Eyes and SS are good for the kids, it entices them to get more figures. The Flood of them are just frustrating for the collectors.
As for the reuse of parts, repaints and the like..well it's always been a part of GI Joe and if it means getting more characters then go nuts Hasbro. |

It was mentioned some time ago that Major Bludd was listed in a Walmart computer. Hasbro also mentioned that Walmart would have exclusives which haven't been announced yet for some reason. I wonder if he will be an exclusive? I really hope not. I'm honestly kinda worried about any Walmart exclusive since the only local Walmart near me never seems to get any exclusives in. At least that's the way it is with Star Wars.

I wouldn't mind the box sets re-issued on card just for the card art. They could do new figures with the existing bodies just by changing the gear and weapons. I'll keep buying for the $5 or $6 a piece. I only see one or two SS and SE swinging on the pegs for the most part. If they need to make repaints to get the most out of the molds and what have you ,so be it . As long as they sell and don't stagger or stop the line. I can wait a few series for who I want while Hasbro makes their money . Its all for the better of the line that they make profit so it can keep going.
