Well i seen it for the first time today and and there is only a few things i like and a bunch i dont like. I think its a huge rip off. The flight pod looks dumb and CC without the helmet is just as dumb. Stalker is not all that great. I like the hiss and the mobat and destro and the trooper behind destro was cool. But at $63 dollars i'll pass.

only because you asked: Yes, i would correct her.
But I agree the pack is over-priced and will be skipping it. I ended up giving my first MOBAT away and couldn't see keeping this one either. |

The helmets for CC, the Vehicle Gunner (grey Trooper), Short-Fuze, and Steeler are all in a bag with their weapons.

Ultimate rip-off for ME. I got my set for $5!
A stupid, blonde, Target girl checked me out. I purchased a Snake Eyes for $4.99 with it and she just hit x2 for the Battle Pack and never scanned it! I got a Snake Eyes AND the UBP for $10 and some change. Yes, I could have been honest and told her, but would you??!!

I don't think its a total rip-off, personally I like all the figs, the vehicles are ok and I've already used the box in a diorama set-up, so I got my money out of it.

At first I was thrilled about the red Hisstank and the Mobat.
I changed my mind about them now. I'm sure of it I'll skip the Mobat because of a serious lack of detail and I hate how high up the figure stands in the Mobat... I got a Forces of Valor WWII Sherman Tank already, although I rather have a green Bradley Tank or a green Abrams Tank. As for the red HISS Tank, I wanted to get one for my Crimson Guards, but seeing as how I have to carefully plan space and I want 4 black HISS tanks for sure, I'm willing to skip this one. I'm actually hoping for a new HISS tank mold. A combination of the HISS tank v2 and the DTC one. I feel the Crimson Guards need a more advanced HISS tank. Stalker is the best figure from the set. The only thing I'll change on him will be the removal of the gloves. I prefer him with the bare hands. Short-Fuze... well, he's not really Short-Fuze. The body is totally off especially the boots. And we get the correct webgear on the resolute Zap figure which means we have to buy more Zap figures to fix this Short-Fuze. Maybe Zap will be a great Short-Fuze so we don't need this one at all. We'll see. I see no use for the Blue Flight Pod/Trouble Bubble. I dislike the tan uniforms and prefer the green uniforms on the original 13 so no tan Steeler for me. The Cobra Commander's uniform is accurate, but seeing the pea head again is a major disappointment. The Battle Helmet that we all want is in the DVD pack #5. Another Destro... no thanks we already got accurate versions of him! I dislike all the other trooper repaints. I prefer the original ARAH colors. Conclusion for me, get UBP Stalker from eBay or trades and leave the rest. |

You are correct. What I meant was, in the 25th line, the original 13 should have custom castings suited to their characters. In most other cases, it looks fine, but taking Doc's head and molding it in caucasian colors... doesn't do it any justice. It's about the shape of his facial features... I mean look at the hair! Short Fuze? More like Short 'Fro! |

Hmmm, let's see. It might be a great deal if someone were new to collecting these toys and didn't already flight pods, HISS tanks and multiple variations of destro and cobra commander. The only items worth anything in this set are the mobat and short fuze. That said, they are not worth $65. So my vote would be for ultimate rip off.
