Greetings All,
I'm looking for a little insight here, I just picked up the the first 5 pack set at my local Wal Mart and heres the deal, It came w/ Cobra Commander instead of Snake Eyes. I went back to the today and they restocked, 3 out of the 4 boxes are the same way. Is this a widespread packaging error as the box art claims it comes w/ Snake Eyes or is this an intentional variant? Any info would be great on this. Thanks |

Guaranteed it's no variant. It's a f******* figure swapper stealing the SE and replacing it with the extra CCs.
Although, it seems like a strange choice, given that SE is going to be re-released 3 more times in a few months (Black in Wave 1 of '08, Blue in Wave one of the comic packs, and ble and green in the Ninja 5-pack). My guess is someone wants to build an army of black-clad guys or original 13 customs and just don't wanna pay for the single pack. |

not strange....
someone bought it, took out the Snake-Eyes and replaced it with a Legions COBRA Commander... question i have is why are some variants made a big deal of, while others go by overlooked (such as the original 5pack "repack")?? it's as nobody even cared...even though it IS a variant. |

Probably because that's a packaging variant and not a figure variant. Once you take the figures out of the package, they're indistinguishable from the first releases. As for the CC in the Joe pack, I guess someone really likes Snake-Eyes or they're wanting to do customs of the original 13 |
