STAFF EDIT: Panel Coverage here: Hasbro Marketing And Design Panel PimpDaddySatan: Just gonna say it, the foriegn Joes, especially the argen7 figs, are super kick ass! Way better than the crimson vipers, although the vipers turned out pretty good too. I'm poor now, but happy i got them all. Now debating if i should get that crimson guard, head looks alittle off, but seeing them drop off the building was awesome, i wasn't in range to grab one, although had I, I probably would have gave it to a kid, but now i kinda want one... lol. RolandofGilead: Sounds like a good time. I wish I could have joined you all. Zefram: What were the other exclusives selling for? The ebay prices today are outrageous. DaViper: the wait is killing me!
Can you imagine if the flagg was long?! I would actually be able to sleep om that thing!  samjjones: 45 figs and 15 vehicles planned for next year.
NO Flagg or Terrordrome planned. samjjones: ROC Hiss (new design)
Arctic Threat Duke
Arctic Threat Snow Job
Arctic Threat Destro
Arctic Threat Snake Eyes
Jungle Assault Storm Shadow (uses Resolute body)
Jungle Assault Duke
Jungle Assault Cobra Commander

Sand Serpent w/ Star Viper (Raven repaint) | These sound cool. I hope the new HISS is based off the Resolute designs. Everything else is *yawn* Gyre-Viper: erm... city strike might be the new resolute. heheheheh. dmarrese: Sounds like some cool stuff coming our way. I'm particularly horny for that mail-away Cobra Commander. I hope it's as cool as it sounds.
EDIT: Just saw the cardback on another sight. I was hoping for the classic look but instead it's the ROC design. The cardback is cool, but I'm still not a fan of the ROC Commander. Gyre-Viper: i'm excited. i'm not a huge fan of the toys but some of these sound really promising. Troynos: Quote:

I hope they can mix in "lesser" unique characters into the movie line, instead of rehashing the same characters in each wave. | Right. They need to save some big names for the next movies.
Although, Stalker appears in the video game, so chances are we'll see him as a figure. Troynos: Poor Breaker. I didn't see him listed in the new figures. He only gets one figure?
Damn... Loose Cannon: Can someone ask to see if they can do anything to make the filecards worth keeping. Like add a birthplace maybe.
Also can someone get Hasbro to explain why it's necessary to have these ridiculous missle launchers? They ain't free to make so prices must be higher because of them. steve2477: Quote:

Damn... | Ye, wheres RA Breaker?
The arctic figs sound interesting. Shin Densetsu: Man it'd be a shame not to see a reactive armor Breaker, his reactive armor looked AWESOME davewhitaker: The Cycle armor reminds me of the Cyclones from Robotech davewhitaker: OK are there 2 FANG repaint exclusives? A black one with Blades and then a Greyish one as well? Blade: Quote:

yeah the UK one and Argen one botticus: Vehicles look like they might be fun (except for a repaint of a repaint in the Armored Panther), but as always I'll be more interested in the drivers. Stupid display/storage space constraints.
Beachhead doesn't look bad, but I tend to be strangely accepting of different versions of my favorite Joe. Probably because I already have two definitive versions. Blade: Quote:

Damn... | I hope we get a break in that techno armor he wears. would suck to just get that horrible camo breaker figure. Troynos: Where are the pics? They been posted yet? botticus: Quote:
Originally Posted by Troynos Where are the pics? They been posted yet? | Just a couple from the sidebar here: It'sAllTrue.Net
Beachhead, couple vehicles, and CC's card. And some concepts of the vehicles. Shin Densetsu: Quote: |
Where are the pics? They been posted yet?
| Be patient, we have staff members on scene now(actually have been). Zefram: Quote: |
-New HISS Tank coming in Bravo wave 2 in 2010, it will feature moving treads!
| I'm curious about the price, but if it's like the Resolute tank this could be an epic win.
As for the cycle-armor, I'm stoked. I'm thinking something like...
E-pic Fail. Fixed. >.< 03Mach1: Quote:

 Troynos: pictures... pictures... pictures... Zefram: I just thought of something. If Ashiko comes wearing an Accel suit it may be an awesome BGC homage. Troynos: YAY for thread being split. coola784: Quote:
Originally Posted by Zefram What were the other exclusives selling for? The ebay prices today are outrageous. | i know, tell me about it, i want to know how much they cost at the con too. samjjones: Yay! More figures that I'll never see in TRU for a 2 for $9.99 sale! Vangto: bullshit,
a bunch of f'ning dukes, snake eyes, scarletts and destros, ripcord and storm shadow, oh and cobra commander. shit its like they only have 6 guys to make figures of out of the whole fucking line. i guess im done collecting joes for a while this movie line is crap all the same guys being released, nothing different. im tired of seeing dukes ugly mug on every fucking figure.
ps sorry bout the language, just a bit heated is all. Guardian: Quote:

Even if the heads are all the same, with all these variations, the custom potential is out the wazoo...
That construction dio looks awesome. Zefram: Quote:

Couldn't they have lowered the per-figure price by making more than 500 each? Seriously! Regular Joes have almost no chance of scoring these, and I really wanted the international team to go with Glenda! ctrvl: Quote:

My fav joe gets a great makeover, I'm seriously going to get like a 100 of it. Some_Gamer_Dude: So... City Strike is the Ninja Force?
GOOD. I wanted that. I hope Scarlette has a ponytail and is able to be repained into Ninja Force Scarlette without looking silly. Derek2783: Sooo... we're getting a vehicle called the Cobra Viper? WTF is that Hasbro? xhairs: ok where are the resolute figs. man great roc will be the new line wow i guess ill be saving alot of cash for the next 2 yrs. thanks for the info keep it coming. DaViper: I need to see some pics because the news has been somewhat bland for me... green_shirt: I know they said they are not making one. But I really really really hope the new hiss tank is the resolute design. That tank is so cool looking. night force jazz: seriously, pictures would help.
