So it appears that the leaked list of club figures is proving accurate, which means we should see Sure Fire and Barrel Roll. So how would you guys like to see the file cards done?
I wouldn't mind if they did away with the glider aspect of BR's qualifications and redesignated him solely as a USAF Security Force's Sharpshooter (or Counter Sniper if you can offically call it that). As for Sure Fire, I'd love to see him demoted and made as the team leader of a Special Reaction Team. I also hope they go with a look that more closely resembles version 1 so Law has somesome to pair up with. Last edited by Tanksmasher; 10-21-2011 at 02:19 PM.. |

It's not like the Joes needed help to sell in those days, but how perfectly would that have fell into place had they put the Skystriker, Navy pilot Ace, and the Flagg out again when Top Gun hit the theaters? I'll admit, that when I was kid, I wouldn't have made the distinction between Air Force Ace and a Navy Ace. But I loved Top Gun and I loved GI Joe. If they would have put them out again shortly after the movie, I know it would have been on my Christmas list. As it was, I had to improvise. The grocery stores in South Dakota used to sell an olive drab F-15. It had a two seater cockpit that could accomodate Joes provided they didn't have a holster molded to their legs. It came with 4 oversized orange missiles, but did have landing gear that went up and down. It was actually not a bad toy for a cheap grocery store item. I flew that off my improvised Flagg (our picnic table with a cooler sitting on it to act as the bridge). I did have a genuine certified GI Joe Tomahawk to fly my rescue missions though. Ah memories.

Barrell Roll loses the glider and becomes USAF sharpshooter.
I'm really hoping they do him right.

I think the glider aspect will be ditched. They're already doing a glider with tan Grunt, which surprisingly I like alot.

I agree, I wouldn't mind seeing the glider thing go. Does the Air Force have a QRF for their bases? If they do it would make sense that they have a counter sniper or just a sniper to cover the team as they take out the threat to the base.

The glider wont' bother me I guess...
I do have a glider/jet pack scout/sniper team with Starduster, Barrell Roll (currently using Duke from the Resolute 5 pack) and RoC Grand Slam. Grand Slam is the spotter. Barrell Rolll is the sniper. Starduster is the security. So adding tan grunt won't be bad and a "real" Barrell Roll will allow me to make the 5 pack Duke into someone else.
