| | Sergeant-Major (USMC) Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Mt. Pleasant Ohio Posts: 318 | I was wondering when I was going to get the email that my order was cancelled. I had seen alot of others here on the tank that already got their notice. Unfortunatley I got mine today, so I guess that set is history. I was looking forward to getting my hands on some green shirts. Oh well, maybe they will find a new life somwhere down the line. | |

On the other hand, if this is like the ranking officers fiasco, these should start showing up on store shelves in a couple days! | |

hopefully, they redo the greenshirt pack to be just greenshirts, or even greenshirts with a named Joe squad leader, but not versus an arbitrary Cobra repaint.
the CG pack seems like an odd concept to pull, but maybe the fact that the CG comic pack hasn't jumped off the shelf, and a lot of people voiced their displeasure with the figure itself in the single pack, Hasbro fears the demand for the figures isn't that high

| | Cobra Viper Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: Illinois Posts: 288 | I wonder if pricing was an issue? Since $7 is the norm now this would have been a $35 set that everyone had pre-ordered for $25. Why not cancel'em and wait awhile to announce them again and sell them at a higher price point? | |

Still I wanted me some Green shirts. One of the toon characters I always wanted in Plastic form. | |
