Wow. I think the sets look great. I don't know what people were expecting as these look no different from the Star Wars Battlepacks.
I was resisting the urge to buy more Red ninjas just because of this set (although I do have two), and the Night Watch set is perfect. I only need one of each.

The packaging is lacking that classic look and the further they get away from it so does my interest. I don't think it looks bad, just not enough for me to really care about these at this time. The same goes with the new vehicles and at first I was excited about them. The more I look at them, I see space pirates ruling my closet. I think I may be sticking with the single carded figures and comic packs, unless the price drops really low like it did on the first box sets. I am glad I waited on those box sets. The Comic packs packaging is weak also, but I really like the comics so it makes up for it.

This is the point I don't understand. Target releases the vintage style HISS in new package, people complain about they want a NEW style HISS.
They release updated figures in a Battle pack, people complain they wish the package was more retro. Where did Hasbro say that ALL Joe stuff was going to look retro? The cards are the only things I knew of. Plus, in the beginning, they announced they were ONLY doing 25 figures for the 25th ann line. Due to popular demand, they are keeping it rolling. I think this is good for the license to release all this new stuff. The fact we get 5 new deco Cobra troops is AWESOME! it could have been 1 troop and CC, Destro, Baroness and another storm shadow. YAWN! They seem to be listening to what people want. Plus you have to remember, they have to market this to what the retailers want. It's their stores and they don't like it cluttered with stuff that don't sell. Also, some of this stuff seems rushed out to meet the hungry demand of new stuff and keep it fresh until they can roll out the REAL stuff they want out. |

I will be buying several of these. The extra accessories alone make this a must have.
