I agree with DPrime and HelaViper about how the set will be chosen.
Also, we have to take into consideration how the club choses the logistics of the set. There are "X" amount of figures (15, I think) in the box set, usually 2 figures with some sort of deluxe accessories (Dolphin and Natalie, and Manleh and Starduster) as a separate purchase option, 3 figures with weapons (Redmack, Shmik, and Topson; Lifeline, Jammer and Gaucho), and a couple of vehicle type choices (Blades and his chopper, Glenda's chopper, then the green bunker and the Red Shadows staff car). They also have a free figure too. Based on that, I'd say we get... Box set - 6 Python troopers, 4 Python Tele-Vipers, TF Tripwire, TF Bazooka, TF Roadblock, TF Recondo, and TF Skystriker (made from Thunderblast head and helmet and Wild Weasel body). ***EDIT: you can drop 2 Python Tele Vipers and add in the 2 Brazil PP dudes (Gatilho and Relampago, aka Airborne and Ripcord) End EDIT*** 2pk - like the 2008 set, there was a figure and small vehicle (Hotwire and Mech), so I think a TF Tiger Paw and TF Tunnel Rat would fit here. 3pk - TF Wreckage/Sabertooth, TF Hit & Run, TF Marujo (Shipwreck) Free figure - TF Blizzard (kitbash with new sculpt head, and adjusted accessories [the climbing shoes have been released already in 25th scale]) Vehicles - TF Tiger Sting with TF Outback Python Patrol STUN ***EDIT#2: This also plays along with The Clubs "International homage" they have used the past 2 years (2009 - Argentina with Argen 7 figs, and 2010 - UK with Action Force figs). This way, with Tiger Force, you can focus on Brazil's additions to TF and also add some UK figs like 2009's set (Blades). End EDIT#2*** What do you guys think? I'd love to see your edits. Like, instead of a Tiger Paw we could maybe get a Tiger Force Armadillo, or RAM. No one would buy a Python Patrol STUN - anyone who would be interested in it and is a dedicated enough collector to go to the con would already have one. However, a Python VAMP? Hells yeah.

No way they'd sell a set with six PP CGs though. Everyone's got those already - that'd be a BIG cheap out.

Now that would have a lot of potential and would be very successful. The problem is a simple one: using existing parts. Unless they used broken arrow/slayer heads, I think they would have trouble making a decent representation. But i could be wrong. And who would they fight - the VC?

I think that both the Sarge and especially Lowlight are just too new for the Club to get access to. Having a 5-man SM set without Lowlight is one thing, but without the Sarge? What's the point? Given how popular his con figures have been, however, I think it's only a matter of time before we see a set, but who knows? It might be another SDCC exclusive. I would hope the Club does it, though. That way we could get a few more SM-style vehicles (I LOVE that camo scheme) so that everyone gets a ride. It'd be great if they could rework/combine existing vehicles molds, like they did with the originals, but to be quite honest I'd be just as happy if they just redid a few small ones, like a Ferret or VAMP, in SM colours too.

Might be cool if they added a couple members too, or threw in some TF/NF/PP figures as well. I'd be most excited for whatever vehicles they can come up with, though...

THAT would be awesome. I was thinking of trying to find a way to repaint a RoC Arctic Shipwreck, topped with a PoC Spirit head into Kwinn.

Quinn would be nice, especially a non-Arctic version.
