Hello everyone. In recent years, we were given 6 packs at TRU/DTC. Now we are getting 5 pack battle packs. The battle packs in comparison lack one figure, but have a reuseable box, precut file cards, and a displayable electronic logo base. In my opinion the battle pack is superior, and both are the same price. Which do you prefer? Which format for multi-figure packs would you prefer to continue? Discuss!

I think personally the new battle packs will be better simply because of what you stated. For me, its the fact that, unlike the six-pack figures, when I remove the figures from the battle packs, I'm not tearing the package all to heck. I can't say the same about the six-packs.
I would hope though for future battle packs to have the figures in more 'neutral' positions so I don't feel like i'm going to break a limb off them trying to remove them from the package. |

I went with the 6-pack. Sure you don't get a reusable box, logo base with sound, or pre-cut file cards but you have one more figure. That to me is more important. If they had used 6-packs in the first place Firefly and Flint probably would have been the sixth figure in their respective sets and would probably be original molds and not Beachhead and Duke repaints/remolds.

Battle packs rule, I can't wait to see what's ahead, who knows we may see updates of mutt, dusty, ripcord,recondo, and spirit, heck, maybe even quick-kick, the six packs were getting to be mainly repacked recolered ARAH stock (how many times did I see snowjob (not that I'd mind to see a new sculpt, but the one in the 6 packs were getting overused!

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. |

I like both...but if given a choice, I'll go with 6 packs. Not only is it one more figure, but the six pack packaging has to be less expensive to make than the battle pack boxes.

The next BP does come with the cobra symbol and also plays the cobra theme song from the movie you mentioned. |
