since so far the Battlepacks are cr@ppy cartoon repaints with "extras" that are completely disinteresting to me AND lack in having any new characters, i'm going to have to say "6 packs".
hopefully we'll get some new characters in the follow up packs.

6 packs, but I doubt we'll be seeing TRU sell anymore G.I. Joe figure packs with 6 figures, because now their selling them in assortments of 5. The battle packs seem unneccessary to me because they mostly consist of unique characters I really only need one of each anyway. Multi-packs of any kind I think should really be reserved for COBRA troop-builder figures, especially now since the new 25th COBRA troops of every kind fly off the shelves faster then the fans can blink.

I like both, but to choose one over the other, would depend on what the "theme" of the packs are. If it's just a troop builder pack, 6-packs work. If it's with a "build-a-something" theme, 5-pack and the accessory works too.

The BP boxes look nicer but he crazy positions the figs are in needs to stop (what the hell is Storm Shadow doing?).
So be it another fig or cool accessory/prop, I can dig both. I only hope Hasbro expands the BP accessory idea. The next BP looks to come with a Cobra emblem (the coolest thing about that BP really). It would be awesome if it played an excerpt from the GIJoe Movie theme. "Armies of the night, Evil taken flight... Cobra, COBRAAA, Cobra, COBRAAA!" Then maybe another accessory can be a throne for CC/Serpentor that plays the incidental Cobra instrumental (the music from the beginning of the movie also used in every episode). That would be great. |

One feature I love about the boxed items is the die cut filecards. I've managed to trim some slose to that, but they still do not look as good.
I am also Suped about finally getting a Weather Dominator and MASS device. Actually getting the DVD doesn't hurt either. Seems like a win all around?

I voted neutral. It is hard to decide which would be better. This is a very tough question. I like the figures that i have gotten out of the 6 packs in the past but the 5 figure packs are so unique themselves. Like i said, very tough question...

As long as we are given something new, the ratio of figures to accessories does not concern me.

If each looks good I will buy them so I guess that makes me neutral.

the 6 packs will be unique because they will have other items that build on one another and the five packs will have plain revisions but i will still buy both when most likely the five battle packs will be re released in single cards again
