| Darcy: HISS Tank.com has posted Hi-Res of some 25th reissue figs with modified cards. Basically, just rereleases on non-foil cards.
Although, I don't think the figures have been modified. In my honest opinion, I like these new cards better. It sorta gives it that vintage feel, but that's just my opinion.
Here's the link:

Tazocin: and now im gonna kill myself for opening those 25th carded figures. :( Tazocin: i just they'll release singles wave 4 in this card. man.. ill just collect this new "card" instead of the 25th ones.. so that there'll be uniformity..
also, i think most of the chars here are from this case assorment..
 Dawg99: i hope they come out with snake eyes black timber again Banshee: Yay for Armor CC and Firefly! I hope they reissue more later. Darcy: Quote:

Hey Hasbro... Now would be a nice time to re-issue Flint with gloved hands... Mr. G: good thing I kept all my wave 1 Flints MOC on 25th cards Tazocin: i better start selling my 25th carded figures. decided to collect these new cards. whew. for the sake of uniformity!
yeah! still want to see white bordered Spirit, Shipwreck, Duke (wave 4), Scarlett, Gung-Ho, Roadblock (wave 4), and Sgt Flash. and here's hoping a Doc!!! Mr. G: these are the figures that are going to be coming out in the revision wave 8 & 9 cases Tazocin: 25th Anniversary - Wave 5 - Revision 5 and 25th Anniversary - Wave 4 - Revision 5 Tunnel Rat: I am confused. Are these figures the exact same just on differnt cards?? Cause if thats the case there is no way i am gonna spend gas and then 7 bucks a figure just to get them on a differnt card Tazocin: Tunnel Rat, yes they are. 25th year anniversary is already over (2007). they are just re-issues but with a different card.  Dave in the Basement: Good deal. Now I'll be able to get some cool figures I missed the first time around. Thanks for the links!

I guess it is a good thing for people that didnt grab them the first go around, but as a collector i dont see me buying all of those agian because of a logo on the top corner NateR: Cool, and here I was seriously considering opening up my carded all-black Snake-Eyes. Looks like I'll just wait for this new version.
Also good to see rereleases of some figures that I missed out on the first time (Rock 'N Roll, Firefly, Crimson Guard). Tazocin: Quote:

Crimson Rage: I kept my single-carded 25th V1 Snake Eyes MOC so may pick up the re-issue to get a loose black version, but I snagged the rest first time round.
Then again, I may try to get another Flash as I'm a bit worried about plastic fatigue in his laser rifle connecting cable. There's already a lot of white stress marks where it bends in order to reach the backpack, so it wouldn't hurt to have a spare. firmpulse: so flint still has the old crappy duke arms, eh? Tazocin: Crimson Rage, do you have a picture on how and where to put flash's connecting cable from from his backpack? i noticed there are 2 holes. 1 for the rifle and 1 for the cable. where should the connecting cable be inserting? left? or right?

It reaches the left hole too, but this seems to put more strain on the cable.
I'm not sure if there's a right or wrong way, as I put Breaker's headset cable in the same hole on his pack. |

| | GI FLINT | | Post Deleted by on 12-31-1969 07:00 PM | Sgt. Kayfabe: This is just another hasbro scheme. Yes the cards are cool , but I paid $4.88 a figure. Now they slap it on a new 2 cent card and charge $7.99. Not buying........And where is Sgt. Flash? Tazocin: Quote:

Dream: Anyone want to take bets as to how long this thread will last? harkiri: why, did I post something wrong? Roadblock Recall: with the Wild Bill and Torpedo reissues, I thought I'd be getting the reissue packages to add to the collection of all 25th packages. But this is just too many for me to double up anymore.
btw, this is the third thread I've seen here about this. The other two have been deleted for some reason so don't be surprised if this one gets deleted too. Roadblock Recall: Quote:

But yeah, we need to call Scooby and the gang, to find out the Hiss Tank Ghost who keeps stealing our threads! harkiri: Quote:

But yeah, we need to call Scooby and the gang, to find out the Hiss Tank Ghost who keeps stealing our threads! | No big deal, thanks for the info, like I said, saw the news and thought I would share, looked to see if anyone else had mentioned it...and obviously didnt see anything.
Back to the topic, I might finally have a chance of getting armored CC GrenadierStinny: Still no fixed arms on Flint. I really hope they fix them for the Hall of Heroes release or else they're gonna have a huge, loud group of disgruntled collectors on their hands. Dream: I never got a Flint, so I can't wait to finally get one, and not have to overpay because someone thinks he is rare. Syn3sthesia: Is HBro...not surprised at all. Tracker: Cool i can finally get flint LG: Quote:

Mern-Ra: Yeah I started one of the other now gone threads about this...it'd be cool if we could get an explanation...just seems weird. Gaelinic: Yeah, someone posted that these updated figures have updated crotches. Sorry, my crotch-adar is off today. Could someone point out which ones have corrected crotches?
Thanks.
Gaelinic mckeesportpaguy: im actually excited about this move, it will keep the value of the original releases up and make for hunting new figures! 82joe: What's the deal with all this? Can somebody fill me in? Are these figures being put back out and re-issued at retail? Is this some kind of joke? Why the risk of being deleted? Lots of questions....no answers. Thanks guys.
