So I may end up getting a set of wave 6. Don't want to deal with searching for the damn thing at retail when the price at BBTS is "just right" and knowing that wave 3 has not saturated here, yea, it's gonna be.a.while.
So for $45+shipping I'll save on gas, time, and whatever searching for the damn wave. Nonetheless I looked more at the wave. Feelings haven't changed. I want them all. Except. Except...one. Croc Master. I already have Croc Master. In fact he was easy to find when his wave hit discount retailers. You like Croc Master? Yea good for you. Me? A mere repaint with new accessories, of a character I'm not that attached to(IDW version KICKED ASS THOUGH)= repaint I'm not excited for. So of course one would ask, Who should've taken his place in wave 6? Me personally, this is who I think should've replaced him. Yes, this guy: Possible Quick Kick And New Crimson Guard For GI Joe Pursuit Of Cobra - GI Joe News Crimson Shadow Guard Yeah, we know this guy was originally planned for a 5 pack with new accessories, but canceled. Knowing how the Steel Brigade 5 Pack and Iron Grenadier 5 pack turned out, I'm not surprised most of these sets were canceled. I wouldn't have bought the Steel Brigade and Iron Grenadier sets and I think they are proof that "things happen for a reason". Now the Shadow Guard, honestly, I don't know if I would've bought this guy either, BUT I would prefer to have him in wave 6 in lieu of Croc Master. Anyways that's my choice WHAT IS YOURS>? |

An update of the CG would have been welcome if we had to have a repaint/rehash.

If they end up releasing a running change that looks like that custom I've seen floating around, then I'm gonna say nothing.
If all we get is that yellow piece of crap, though, then definitely City Strike Scarlett. |

I'd like to of seen them do a Nitro-Viper (motor-viper) done up in classic colors and with the correct name. Or a Tele-Viper that looks more like the old classic tele-viper, they could use snow jobs legs and Pit Troopers arms.
Those shipwreck/Flint arms, I don't even know anymore if thats where they came from, on the python tele-viper just don't bend far enough. but I guess its better than the Viper arms they used on the other one. heck I'd almost take another Duke repaint than Croc Master heh. |
