hopefully we'll get some new characters in the follow up packs.

The battle packs seem unneccessary to me because they mostly consist of unique characters I really only need one of each anyway. Multi-packs of any kind I think should really be reserved for COBRA troop-builder figures, especially now since the new 25th COBRA troops of every kind fly off the shelves faster then the fans can blink.

If it's just a troop builder pack, 6-packs work. If it's with a "build-a-something" theme, 5-pack and the accessory works too. | |

So be it another fig or cool accessory/prop, I can dig both. I only hope Hasbro expands the BP accessory idea. The next BP looks to come with a Cobra emblem (the coolest thing about that BP really). It would be awesome if it played an excerpt from the GIJoe Movie theme. "Armies of the night, Evil taken flight... Cobra, COBRAAA, Cobra, COBRAAA!" Then maybe another accessory can be a throne for CC/Serpentor that plays the incidental Cobra instrumental (the music from the beginning of the movie also used in every episode). That would be great. | Dude thats John Claude Van dam dressed as strom shadow! duh! lol | |

I am also Suped about finally getting a Weather Dominator and MASS device.
Actually getting the DVD doesn't hurt either.
Seems like a win all around?

| | Father of a little Viper Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: Springfield Missouri Posts: 5,647 | I voted neutral. It is hard to decide which would be better. This is a very tough question. I like the figures that i have gotten out of the 6 packs in the past but the 5 figure packs are so unique themselves. Like i said, very tough question... | |

Posts: 1,647 | the 6 packs will be unique because they will have other items that build on one another and the five packs will have plain revisions but i will still buy both when most likely the five battle packs will be re released in single cards again | |
