We wanted to give you a heads up on a Quality Control issue that a few Hisstank.com forum members have come across so far. If you are a fan and collector of the Kre-O G.I.Joe line, then chances are you have been collecting the blind pack Kreons.
Well, you’ll want to take special care with/of your Kre-O G.I.Joe Wave 4 Tripwire. Several reports (including one from yours truly) note that Tripwire’s “hose” is snapping right at the base of the ball joint that connects to Tripwire’s back pack. So far, there have been no reported issues with the Kre-O G.I.Joe Wave 5 Cobra Tele-Viper that shares a similar construction.
Have you experienced this QC Issue? Sound off on the Hisstank.com forums!

What happened to the wave 4 figs?
C.I.A.D. says
The decision was made by Hasbro to push Wave 5 before Wave 4, but we'll still see w4 (supposedly).
As to why the swap...some seem to think it was to repackage w4 in to outer sleeves with no codes. Not really sure on the solid details, but at least the good news is that we should see'em!

Somebody found them in California. For some reason that thread doesn't show on the front page of HT when it gets replied to. Maybe this one will.

Hopefully we can get the UPC and news on if the blind bags have unique codes or not. Also if the case was even-packed at 2-per.

Probably won't get front paged due to my crappy pic from my phone.
Though, I'm bummed out from the 24 I got yesterday. No Tripewires but I ended up with 4 Zartans. :(
JediJones says
There were these 2 auctions for sets of wave 4 with Tripwire a month ago, but the guy sold 2 sets each of wave 4 and wave 5 at the same time and he was in Rhode Island, so I would assume he got them through a connection with a Hasbro employee and not through a retail release. Looks like Nemesis will be easy to feel for at least.

As far as for the feel method for identifying the troop builders:
-Viper has the assault rifle with front hand grip and he also has that red grenade
-Both other cobra troopers carry the long sniper rifle. The helmets would probably be the way to tell them apart, with Night Viper's looking to have the extra piece for the night vision goggle

All I need is Wave 4 to complete my Joe Kreo collection! I have been fortunate to have found Waves 1-3 and 5 in the wild each of the times they have been released. Have one of every thing, including the Con stuff!
