Ok so now that I have almost the whole joe team including time to customize my own versions of the retaliation team...I'm all in.
If you cherry pick the joes and kitbash some of the cooler figures you end up with a pretty awsome retaliation joe team. Cobra is not lookin so hot on the action figure front. Although the movie images loo amazing the toys specificly the cobra toys are lookin pretty weak sauce. I can't wait for the next waves and am saving my vehicle moneys for the tomahawk. I have a feelin it's gonna be like 50 bucks. Just sayin. |

Well, my favorite Cobra figures so far are no particular order:
Wave 1 storm shadow - a great everyday ss Cobra Invasion Firefly - Best Firefly I have Cobra Invasion shock trooper - i love this troop builder, and he hasn't been too tough to find So I'm not so unhappy. The real lack so far has been vehicles. The only thing I have been interested in from Retaliation so far is the Ninja Combat Cruiser. 500th post

So far after wave 1 the Retaliation line seems to be leagues better than the ROC stuff. The movie accurate SE is already 100% better than from his ROC offerings. Also, I don't know about anyone else, but I really like the Rock figure. I know he is supposed to be Roadblock and has THE ninja tattoo that some people really dislike but the figure kicks so much ass. I do wonder why there is white paint on his vest.
There is lots of promise with this line. I hope the movie does well enough so Hasbro feels like throwing more money at GI Joe.

I think it'll probably see a much higher rise at about 55-to 70 bucks before it finally sees a release. No way in hell will it be as good as it looked with a fulll articulated figure and only be in the 30-40 range. Hasbro isn't that nice anymore.....not with craptastic cheaply made figs at 11 bucks.

Exactly, MSRP of $39.99 is just that, a suggested retail price. If Target, TRU or Blomart charge more it's their preoperative. I'm just sick and tired of Hasbro getting blamed for pricing, when it's the stores charging what they charge.
As for Retaliation so far Invasion Team Firefly is my #1 figure with w1 Rockblock in 2nd place.

Target seems to know the GH and CCruiser go quickly, and the Hiss is a shelf warmer. In a few weeks, I doubt prices won't drop though.
