Recently, I picked up two 25th anniversary comic packs. Wave 1 (2007) , and wave 5 (2008). Wave 1 is supposed to be Agent Scarlett (Version 9, 2008), and G.I. Joe Hawk (Version 2, 2008). The comic pack I picked up came with Agent Scarlett (Version 9, 2008), with all accesories, except for a silver hand gun. She also came with an old style, smaller black figure stand with no G.I. Joe logo on it. The other figure is General Abernathy (Version 2, 2004), packaged with an unknown black rifle, and a light green helmet. This version is supposed to come with a black wrist communicator, a grey pistol, a grey rifle, and two grey grenades (He is not supposed to come with a helmet, just a non-removable beret). He doesn't have any other accesories other than a old, smaller black figure stand with no G.I Joe logo on it. Wave 5 is supposed to be hooded Cobra Commander (Version 34, 2008), and Tripwire (Version 5, 2008). The comic pack I purchased has a hooded Cobra Commander (Version 25, 2007 with a black hand gun, and Cobra Commanders' figure stand with a cobra logo). He is supposed to come with a cape, sword, and yellow hand gun. He came with none of these. The other figure is Sgt. Flash (Version 2, 2008 with all accesories and Sgt. Flashs' figure stand with a G.I. Joe logo, except for a laser rifle, replaced with Tripwires' metal detector, version 5, 2008). Both comic packs came with their respected comic books. I seemed to have purchased two factory errors. I can send you a picture of these comic packs, if needed.
My name is Chad Hagar. My e-mail [email protected], or [email protected] Sorry to tell you man, but those arn't factory errors. You bought some repacks, there was some posts about the flash one in the last few pages of the Missouri sightings thread. The Independance Walmart seems to be the main hangout for the scumbag that does this. I bought one there too in the past. I also think he is responsible for the franken troopers that Vintage stock is trying to sell. I hope you kept your receipt on those ones. |

Thanks Zarana...This is a crying shame that someone would want to do that. Why would he/she? What's in it for them? If they did, which I don't doubt, they are good at repacking (No tears, flaws, etc.). Is this antic just to mess with people or what? Even the General Abernathy (2004)? What gives? I appreciate your feedback...

Ryuchad The one i bought was nearly flawless, the only thing out of the ordinary on the outside of the package was a strip of tape sealing the back along the bottom. In my case I think the guy wanted the accessories that came with the Firefly comic pack. he took those, and switched firefly for he darker one, and even put his dusty Storm shadow stand in before returning it. |

I have 3....#1 being a carded 25th V2 storm shadow missing one of his swords. Brought him that way and he is minty. #2 being a carded 25th hooded cobra commander on shipwreck card. Brought him that way and #3 being a carded 25th snake eyes with timber but in timber's bubble, there's an extra knife in it. The card has little crease in the middle and the other 2 carded figures are minty.

I have a ton of empty bubbles on slightly torn cards, that came factory-ripped open.
Weird. |
