I'll probably snag up a few sets! I like the Soldiers even though they are repaints.

I guess I will only get one or two sets of SE with 4 Red Ninjas just to complete my diorama or maybe I'll just keep trying to find more single pack Red Ninjas instead.

I had thought about picking up the Night Trooper set when I saw the faded, blurry pics from the con. Now I'm not as sure, I may still pick up a set (Already decided I have enough ninjas though )
Hasbro really should release a 5 pack set with one wave 1 Officer and 4 red sigil Troopers (All straight up blueshirts) I'm willing to bet they'd fly off the shelves like the rest of the line |

the troopers'd look a lot better if they were camo'd top-to-bottom and didn't have brown boots.
i want to know if the Red Ninjas will have all their gear, like the staff the single-pack figure gets. Totallly worth it just for the toroop-build aspect. and Hasbro's gotta know that Snake Eyes is basically worthless (blue wih Green pants!?!?!?!?)...

that being said, there isn't anything really appealing about the figure besides the history of the color scheme, the Red Ninjas aren't an interest to me as far as army building, and the camo Cobra troops just look plain ugly. at least if they are peg warmers we won't have to hear griping about not being able to find them. perhaps that is Habro's secret plan all along to discourage scalping. |

the troopers are a pass, the SE might happen just because of the history of that color scheme

Yeah, back when Hasbro was getting ready to launch the Joe vs Cobra line, Lee's Toy Magazine did a interview with the guy in charge of ARAH in 82, Darryl DePreist and it was his idea to make SE all black for the paint cost issue, it was also cool to learn that the figures were made first and then turned over to Larry Hama for the code names and file card info.
