Ok, if this has already been mentioned than my apologies, but I have to get clarification if my area is subject to repacking. The new Vipers in the Cobra 5 pack in my area all have the standard Viper head. No chromage. I was in TX last week and noticed the ones out there all had chrome heads. What gives? Is anyone else seeing this? Is this Hasbro up to their old tricks? I was leaning towards repackers but I have not heard that these were going out with a mixed bunch of Vipers from the factory. They all have the same body with the logo on the arm so..... maybe a head swap? Maybe Hasbro? Can anyone confirm if they have seen the same thing? Thanks.

That's what I thought too. F'in gay man. I was gonna opt for one of these just for the Viper but I can't find them anywhere. If I see the asshole that's doing this he may get stabbed..... or worse.... DAH! DAH! DAAAAAAAH!!! lol.

I saw one like this in NJ, except that beyond the viper being swapped out Zartan was ripped out of the package and sitting on the shelf behind the box!

WOW.... WTF is wrong with people. I know we are in a depression but damn. If you can't afford it than don't buy it. Hence me picking up an Eel today instead of the PP Conquest.

repacks, totally.
Ha$bro wouldn't slip up with this particular detail. The chrome domes and fixed hands are one of the main reasons why collectors are scooping up the Cobra 5... then again, SS and Baroness are pretty awesome too... but anyways... my guess is repack. |

reaks of repacking...surprisingly all the ones in my area have been okay. I thought for sure I was going to see a ton of swapped out vipers left and right, but so far so good
