JUMP pack or not, I really don't need another Duke. But Hasbro knows I'll buy him, just like I bought everything else. I think the only things I won't buy are the TRU exclusive packs.

I'll probably end up getting two, one to give a JUMP to Grand Slam, and another to give to Stalker, given his use of them in the early comics.

I have no willpower.

no kidding... I have had my fill of Duke, Snakeyes and Storm Shadow. Truth be known when they relase a V3 Storm Shadow I'll get it. With the new sculpt and no "ninja force" action it will be a pretty cool figure. Also if they make a SE v2 that is done right I'll get it. But I'm over Duke. On the TRU front... I'm not a big fan of theirs but an army builder would be cool even if it is over priced at the retail level and the paint is kind of... well, not exactly what I'm looking for.

As I haven't seen wave 4 at all, I'm hoping this new Duke will have fixed articulation. And where are the other original 13?
I don't mind the ebayers as much as the guys who repack and return after stripping stuff out. I finally found a comic pack with a fixed Hawk at Wallyworld, and was really psyched, but then I noticed that the only other comic pack had the diaper crotch version. I got suspicious, and checking the back saw that someone had opened the pack and replaced it with scotch tape after taking the sticker. Its tough enough to find this stuff at retail, and aside from the ultra rare stuff, I've found everything I've wanted, but having to fight thieves as well as scalpers is really frustrating.

Ha! Neither do I, but fortunately for me, I don't need the packs for what I'm doing with my loose figures. I'll have to own a carded one, though.

I like Duke, and I love the 25th Anniversary version of him, although I realize some people feel differently. I already have three, though, and I'll have a fourth when the Red Star comic pack is released. Also, the v2 Snake-Eyes is perfect, as far as I'm concerned. I understand why Hasbro keeps releasing these characters, and I have no real reason to complain about it. I mean, I could just not buy them.

Yeah, I actually think they look okay, but once Legions Troopers became easier for me to acquire, I completely lost interest in the Troopers from that TRU pack.

don't get me wrong. I dig Duke too. The first 25th Duke is great, or so I think. I just don't need all the other ones. They can keep putting them out because other people feel different than me but it is like the second shipwreck... why not a Cutter? As for SE.. I wish he had the aarow on his arm and the legs were more like the original v2. Oh yeah and if he had something to hold his sword on his back. as for the legions... well some jerk got there first and got them all. It was strange, everytime I would get to target I could hear somebody laughing saying "so long suckers, I've got mine" Just kidding... I couldn't resist

I would have preferred Cutter to the first Shipwreck.

Kidding? No, that was definitely me.

I dig Shipwreck too and don't mind the 25th one so much. Polly sucked the most about it. Ok back to busness at hand, I'm starting to think that we should see pics before we get too excited.

You guys know Shipwreck was an orphan right?

Cut him some slack for Pete's sake! Inside he's crying over the hate.

You know, I can't help being excited about Major Bludd.

That's no excuse! I was going to say, "such-and-such is an orphan, too, and you don't seem him running around in a sailor suit," but I couldn't think of a good orphan off the top of my head.
