I like that they actually have stands...and that the trooper is called a Hiss gunner. I like the new paint job on the Hiss Driver.. The Hiss itself is perfect for anyone who has a Crimson army.

Short Fuse.. wish they would have given him his actual webgear, so I didn't have to make my own. Steeler.. this figure just gets less appealing.. wish they would just put him in his light od green and be done. CC and Destro.. man I think we need one of those in every set that comes out... *Rolls eyes* And Stalker.. I like that we got a dark camo version with jetpack, but come on.. who didn't just take the jetpack from duke or the DVD stalker w/ jetpack and put it on their Reg. Stalker? Meaning I wish we would have gotten two new figures in this set and not just one. I have two vintage Mobats..so this one does nothing for me. I do like CC's personal Bubble though.

Well as one who has one for sale.....and do a bump on a daily basis.....and only got 3 people asking about it then backing out.....has me thinking that maybe you should put your foot back in your mouth....

I was able to use some twist ties to prop up the flight pod and Stalker. I took off all the plastic so I had a nice display box.





I also gave Short Fuze the helmet and visor from Grand Slam.

I just noticed that Short-Fuze's file card is messed up, it has the hyphen before his name instead of in the middle LOL

I loooved the MOBAT as a kid, and yes id like another.
Short fuse is not SHORT FUSE enough for me. I was pretty hyped about this pack. I found it at my target, and I put it down, fully intending to buy it. as others have said, this is a great entry or starter pack, and GREAT for a kids Christmas gift, But its really a $70 waste for me.

If there WERE a better Short Fuse, that ACTUALLY looked like short fuse, that I dont have to mod out of the box, AND he come with a back pack with mortar shells, Id Gladly pay for this pack.

But I have multiples of everything in this line and there is noooo way that ill waste cash on a WANK short fuse, and repaints. The MOBAT IS cool, but you can find em cheap anywhere, and I like the originals color waaaay better. The "steeler" in this set is just BAD. YAY ANHOTHER CC and Destro. YAY another repaint of a trooper, ya it looks cool but you could do that too. Stalker looks cool, But Cmon...THE BEST REPAINT OF THIS LINE??? Not even close...

Like I said, I think this will make aLOT of kids happy christmas, but for the collectors its a mess of everything we ALREADY have. for the guys who have to have everysingle thing from this line, of course theyll buy it. But you could get two extreme conditions sets shipped to your house for this and those ARE COOL repaints.

I am going to remain SOLID in my beliefe that the O13 ALL get single card treatment.

I had this in my hands...I set it back down. Honestly..If it were $30 on clearance I would have a hard time, and ive spent THOUSANDS on this line so far. Not for me, NUTHIN new... get it for a kid to get them INTO joe..

I've been "meh" on the set from the beginning and seeing it in person - I couldn't justify the $63 + tax for it. I'm only interested in the red HISS and HISS gunner ...

i honestly think they would have made more money selling individual sales on this item such as the crimson red hisstank and other stuff included in this set, some people have other important things to put money into then dropping all that dough into one package. so.....

It's pretty lame, imagine creating this set yourself online, and selling it as a lot. You may get 65 bux for it, but I doubt it. You're better off selling the MOBAT and Short-Fuze as a set and not cramming in the other stuff.
