Very nice of them to do that... I guess that means at the convention they will be selling an additional 3 pack of silver colored laser backpacks as one of those extra souvenir items they mentioned in the brochure.

so far I love all the cobra troops. Lamp reys are still my favorite though. Now lets get to the nitty gritty and see Blood and smasher

I actually think this is turning out to be a nice set, even though it's not really my flavor. I said it before and I'll say it again, no premium priced figure should be using parts from a fucking Neo Viper, though. I find that wholly unacceptable.

Agreed. I was starting to get concerned that they wouldn’t put any effort into new heads / tooling for this set. It’s a nice touch and a great encouragement that they want to do their best vs. just mailing it in for the last Con.

I applaud the club for retooling the vintage gear. However, they should have gone one step further to relocate the peg. The vintage location makes it sit way too high and he looks very unnatural holding the handle. They should have at least lowered the backpack by redoing the peg location.

Very surprised they retooled it and didn't just do another Sci Fi rig.

Surprise convention exclusive for this year, a 3 pack of retooled Laser Viper gear colored for the vintage one so that you can equip your figures from last year.
If they are gonna retool it, I'm sure they'll want to find a way to re-use it.

Same here. Pleasantly Surprised as I think I was expecting a straight up repaint. Guessing if they do a 3pack of just his weapons in silver it would be in the $13 range like the weapons set from last year. Which will probably be $15 because they know most will pay it. Still not too bad though.
