Too bad Scrap-Iron is too similar to Firefly for us to see him in GI Joe 3.

I have several of this set and love them. ROC did help Hasbro, make some really cool remakes. I love that they used my redeco ss the model for their redo of the classic SNAKE armor.

The WM Playset exclusives were very hit-or-miss on hitting WM as was the Marvel Universe 12" Goliath + Iron Man & 12" Giant Skrull + Bucky Cap sets. 2009 was just a bad year for Xmas time exclusives to show up there.

...one of the few exclusives I managed to find in an actual store...but this was in Walmart's golden age when they actually stocked their toy departments...I had to punch a dude for actually snatching the last Target Exclusive Rattler right outta my hands while I was heading toward the register with it...

Why was the black rifle pictured with the Neo Viper instead of Scrap Iron?

I was really hoping we would get the Watch Tower, Bivouac, and or Checkpoint as Retaliation Exclusives (but not through Walmart).

Both file cards say this is the preferred weapon, but the box art show the Neo-Viper holding the gun. Now you could argue the back of the box shows Scrap Iron holding the weapon but that makes no sense, who's going to fire the missiles? The Neo-Viper is the guard and have come with this rifle in the past.

Love this set. Only saw the four at Walmart once. At $20 a pop buying 3 of the four was all I was able to do. Still need the LAW.

It would appear that two different guns use that same designation. All six versions of the Neo Viper file card use that same gun as the preferred weapon. None of those Neo Vipers come with that rifle, instead they come with the other rifles that attach to his backpack. The black rifle is the same that comes with the Swamp Viper and the Mars Troopers. On their file cards it gives the same preferred rifle designation. If both the Rifle that attaches to the Neo Viper backpack and the black Rifle here have the same name, and the black rifle is assigned to Scrap Iron, than it makes all of the file cards correct. As you pointed out the black rifle is given to Scrap Iron on both of the photos, on the back of the package, and the Hasbro press release photo.
