I wonder if Sgt Smasher will end up looking like Supercop?

i have zero interest in the Python Patrol figures , i don't have the 2011 set , or any other Python Patrol figures , so unless the Major Bludd figure has a new head sculpt , that side of the set means nothing to me , the Slaughters Marauders i might pick up from ebay depending on how good/bad they are but they are not a priority to me , and if the exclusive figures are python patrol etc then i won't be spending much this year other than the fss figures , heartwrencher set (already bought) and a shedload of marauders WW2 if it hits the right spot.it's a shame the club decided to go out on such a weak final set when the possibility of DEF/headhunters , star brigade or space themed , or even a modern sculpt red shadows vs ? i havn't heard anyone really gushing about the club's choice of set yet , i bet there were a lot of dissatisfied groans.

I'm glad we're getting Hardball and SM Footloose and Mutt, but the Cobra half of this set is a complete waste when there are plenty of ARAH '80s Cobras still to be done in Modern Era form. |

I was hoping for a collection completion set. Like a set that has the most desired members from certain teams over the years. You could put in 3 October Guard (Lt. Gorky, Mishka Wong), 2 IG (Nullifier and whichever other IG driver there is), 3 Red Shadows figs (2 Troopers and Baron Ironblood), 2 Ninja Force figs (Bushido and the one with the mask) , 3 Cobra troop builders (CC Stinger driver and 2 CC Tele-viper, and 3 Joe Command figs (ARAH Duke with 50th Flint's body, Gen Hawk with an updated fur collar jacket, and Gen FLAGG Sr.)
Then the exclusives could be an Action Force 2 man team (Dolphin and Tracker), and a Cobra 3 pack of CC Night Creepers. I know that's a lot of paint, but they could charge an extra $100-200 for that set. I don't need this year's set as of now. I may consider getting the Joe side if the paint and builds are good.

I think most of could agree that Python v.2 was not on anyone's radar, let alone wish list for what could be the last club con set. It's like most things with the club - in my experience, at least - it's not quite what I wanted, but I don't necessarily hate it either.
I am however continually amazed at the Great Pumpkin crowd and their hopes for a Cobra-La set from the club. I cross my fingers the club gets a color scheme right. I can't imagine letting myself have hope that they will invest heavily into new tooling for a one-off set that they wouldn't really be able to re-use. |

The more I read about this set the more I think I don't want any of the figures. Here's to hopes that FSS 8.0 has an all-star lineup. If they don't fill out the early ARAH ranks who will? Me!? I'm a half ass customizer lol

I'd prefer this, then I would have some reason to get them. I dare say I may actually be excited to get them. In 2003 colors, they don't match any of my existing units, so may as well be ignored. I just can't merge the two very different PP sets, they just do not look good together. What good is half a unit of odd ball support troops? IMO the only way to redeem them would be with 50th style vipers and troopers in the same colors. But imagine if those were an add on set, $$$$$. The club does not think like this, so I'm sure they will be 2003 colors.
