Ha! That's one I always wanted and never got as a kid. However at the time, I didn't have a spare house to store it in... and come to think of it, I still don't... Mostly my wife would kill me. I have a hard enough time keeping all the new figures and nearly a thousand RAH figures out of sight. She knows I have them, but they're out of sight, out of mind.

I don't think I could successfully buy a FLAGG without breaking that camel's back. My collecting habit would be put down like a rabid dog...

Bazooka isn't one of my favorites but being a huge sports fan, i'll enjoy making several repaints with my favorite team colors.

Reverse naval landings?

They should have came out with a sub team for that.... I lost Alpine at Virginia Beach.

i still remember the day when i was at the beach....

... and roadblock just washed ashore, into my hands.

Looks like lots of lost Joes at the beach, I actually found a Spirit though.

The scrap iron/Wild bill 2 pack has no meaning whatsoever. I do not recall these 2 having a fued nor do I see hasbro putting out another wild bill so early since hes confirmed for wave 7. A Scrap iron/Cobra commander 2 pack would make sense more,since he was always loyal to CC as far as I can recall. Maybe if we do get a new Serpentor later in the year, they can put him in a 2 pack with Dr. Mindbender, or a Falcon and jinx, screw the nemisis enforcer, save him for the Cobra La garbage 2 packs.

No Joe in their right mind says, "hey we're going on a jungle/desert/arctic/ocean/swamp mission. forget the heavy gunner, let's bring the fireman in the neon-orange jumpsuit..." seriously, did BBQ ever get much playtime as a kid for you guys? For me, he was a background character at best, usually hanging out in my "first to die in battle" group.

I think I'd rather see a Psychout/Crystalball comic 2-pack before we waste two precious wave slots on BBQ and Bazooka... I'd rather see a T'JBang vs The Fridge 2-pack first... ok maybe I'm taking it TOO far, but I still think BBQ and Bazooka are terrible choices. There are at least 50 charaters I'd want to see before those two get made. I hope this turns out to be incorrect information.

For me, any figure that wore a mask was a kick-ass figure to have. So Barbecue gets a thumbs up in my book. I don't care how dumb the cartoon version might have been, the guy still looks cool and makes for a great figure.

Stygian and Darth Brett.....separated at birth....News at 11.... :-)

[DarthBrett]

. It's true, though! The figures that had a mask on always got my attention (if the mask was removable.......man, I just had to have them)!!

BTW, I am waiting for a discussion where we don't agree on something.

Hmmm......what are your feelings on.......Cobra-LA?
