Nice. The only one from this site I wouldn't mind getting would be the COBRA Officer in the set. PM me if you want to trade or sell me one. Thanks.

I'm so torn. Easily accessible on eBay right now, but I want to wait and beat the living crap out of my F5 button. Sigh, decisions.

I plan on beating the crap out of mine too, if that's any consolation. Well, more of a tender caress than a beating, but that's neither here nor there. I'm gunning for both this and the Revolution set, if I'm lucky enough. And if not, they'll probably be nearly as available on the aftermarket then as they are now.

Even after HTS, Hasbro will be selling them again at the Canada Fan Expo at the end of August. And probably HasCon. Then whatever's left over from those venues, if anything, could make it to HTS again. If it takes longer than 3 minutes to sell out on HTS, then its trajectory in price on eBay will probably start trending down.
It seems like resellers lost a major profit-center from the HTS booth with the giant price increase on the Magic cards this year, so they gravitated towards this as one of the cheaper HTS items that could be shipped cheaply as a way to maybe double their investment. But as a result of having few other options, they probably created more of an over-supply for these on eBay than Hasbro SDCC items usually have. |

Okay guys... here are my pictures...

The red backed file cards are a nice touch and the graphics on the base itself are retro and crisp. It's definitely made of flimsy cardboard, but will serve as a good backdrop. Here's a comparison shot of the 50th female Officer and the Missile Command Officer... ![]()

Beautiful pictures. I can't help but smile looking at the thing. It might be cheap from a purely material standpoint, but there was definitely some love put into the design. And I never realized there was a working elevator! I can't imagine that would handle wear gracefully, but it's a neat touch.
I also have to say that it's funny that they apparently updated the artwork on the "tunnel" portion of the backdrop to depict PoC-style Troopers, yet the illustrations on the back of the box itself depict the old O-ring figures. I wonder if that was intentional or not. Speaking of, I still think the figure designs are great. Maybe not "perfect" evolutions of the character designs, but they work for the intended context, given how the characters looked at the time. And the Mickey Mouse logo on CC! What a great way to embrace a 35-year-old cock-up that probably wasn't even their fault. ![]()

Thanks for the pics Xero. Does the MCC CO blue match the female 50th CO blue? A pic would be cool. Thanks.
