But am I right that they are coming out below the price they were originally going to sell for? I suppose I'll have to find these at a store instead of online. Cheaper than paying shipping, and TAX on the shipping too. ... tax on shipping.. what a load of @#$#@$. Thanks for the heads up on the pics! | |

I can't quite tell in the picture, are all five Crimson Guards in the CG set the same, or is there an officer/commander as well? | It looks like the one standing under Super CG has a silver chest like an officer. | |

But it looks disappointing to me. I guess I was hoping for some new version, but this one doesn't even look like a repaint from what I can tell. I just might end up passing altogether. | |

By the time they showed up in the comic, it was pretty clear the Joe reactivation was public knowledge there too.

The Fire Fly pack looks like the troopers are walking in a line for their death...really makes it easier for them all to get shot at once. And what's with the CG doing a back flip or something lol or is that because BBQ somehow blew up the wall?

Also, there is one CG with a silver painted chest, i.e. a "Crimson Guard Immortal". | |
