Up until this weekend, I had thought that the 2016 Convention set would feature S.K.A.R. as the enemy.
Now, I am highly doubting that will happen. Probably be something more traditional, such as G.I. Joe vs Cobra, 1990s style. With the only clue from the Collector’s Club being “Sky”, what could the set and exclusives be this year? My guesses are as follows… Box Set: Skydive, Airborne, Airwave, Altitude, Drop Zone, Static Line vs Sky Creeper, Night Vultures, and who else (Heli-Vipers, Flak-Vipers, or Gyro-Vipers)? Free Attendee Item: Sky S.H.A.R.C. (using the recent 2015 Wave Crusher) Parachute Drop figure: Freefall? or Cobra Air Devil? Sky Hawk (recently the 2014 Ghost Hawk) Sky H.A.V.O.C. (using the H.A.V.O.C. Mk-II) Sky Raven (using the 2009 Night Raven, but without electronics?) What would Cobra have? Probably use the Air Assault Glider last seen in 2010, or maybe a re-colored F.A.N.G. copter… 2 pk. idea, maybe Skymate and Cloudburst? I'm already running out of ideas... What are your guesses? |

My thoughts exactly. Although I would hope for Escorpioa Voador and Abutre Negre as a Two pack.
My dream set.

This is what I posted back in october, still thinking this is good chance of what we are getting.
I jumping on the sky patrol band wagon, but still hoping we see Cobra La . Looks like a chrome reflection to me. My guess is we are going to see chrome repaints of the snow cat as the sky havoc, sky hawk and sky shark. The club has access to all the molds and they probably need something to do with all the extra wave crushers they released earlier this year. My one hope would be the club drops a big surprise announcement of the sky Raven a retool of the sky Raven and that will see a new night raven from hasbro later this year. Unlikely i know but i can dream.* Perhaps we will finally see Lazer vipers and Astro vipers from the concept case in the box set. I would guess we would see the full sky patrol in the box set as well. would guess we would see a 2-pack of Aquia Commando and Albatroz since they both used sneak peek parts and the club now have the parts for him. Not sure who else would be in the box set or what we would see in the three pack, maybe Target? Not what I would want to see but seems most probable. What do you guys think? |

I think you are all spot on for Sky Patrol. I have zero ties to it but I think it's something that should be completely knocked out in the box set. As you all mentioned the vehicles are available to be made. I wish this set is a straight on one with out too many "surprises" put in....Thinking the six Sky Patrol Members against Sky Creeper, Two Night Vultures, three Gyro Vipers, and three Astro Vipers. I dunno but the club chucks curve balls in and with Raptor being still not represented in the 25th I'm hoping they don't insert him into this set and leave him for FSS 5.0 along with Laser Viper, but they could also do a Laser Viper three pack. Yikes.

Somebody else thought it looked like snow in that star, and I thought that was wrong too. Then I joined the Sky Patrol band wagon myself when Indiana Joe again pointed out the color and shading matches between Sky Patrol packaging and the Convention emblem two weeks ago. But this month’s Convention advertisement artwork eliminated all doubt… |
