Could this mean that hasbro is really cancelling the classic style ("25th anniversary") toy line (at least temporarily) and is releasing this set with the supposed upcoming figures?
I'll buy the set just because of: - rip cord ( spc altitude???????????) , - recondo ( hope he comes with his pistol holster and hat. - zap- which is the one i like the most!!! |

Destro, thanks for the info! Do you have any info on when these will be available? Is the inclusion of Outback and Stratoviper a sign that their vehicle packs are indeed canceled? (recently Target had them up for "get notified" but then the listings were taken down again) I'm hoping to see some new 25th info today... comic packs going to happen?
I'll just put one last little line in to lament the lack of LOWLIGHT! He's the one fig I've been waiting for since this whole 25th anniv. boondoggle started.

I wish I could get both sets soon. Hasbro most likely will make us wait until Christmas to get these...

I like both sets but the idea of throwing so many army bldrs in just one pack is kind of a letdown for me.
I would prefer to seen these figs single carded and to not have to resort to any online company and their bleeding shipping charges.

That Cobra set would be 100% perfect if you put a Hydro-Viper in place of Dr. Bendminder. I hate that jackass character but I love all the others. I'll probably get 2 Cobra sets & 0 Joe sets. The Joe set totally blows!

Hey guys having these figures in 7 packs might not be so bad. The Arctic 7 packs were going for about $40 with shipping. That's only like 5.50 per figure. Even if these are more, say $50 a set with shipping, that's still only $7 a figure, about the same as retail. And there's no running all over town looking for the one or two figures you can't find. Makes it hard for army building though, since you have to buy another full set to get a second Night Creeper/Alley Riper/Strato Viper.

Hey wait til we see the finished product before dissing these. A few of the figures do look a little bleeh, but we haven't seen them with their gear/accessories yet. Some of the figures out now would not be nearly as cool without the full accessories/gear.

The best one for me is the Night Creeper.

I'm jazzed about these sets, it's great to get so many new figs in one fell swoop. I don't mind the online bit at all, I've found 1 or 2 figs at retail in the last year or so, otherwise I've had to order online anyway.
