alley viper, night creeper, and range viper are so cool, i cant wait to get them, it would of been even more awesome if they included night viper, techno viper and frag viper, then the set would of been a masterpiece. either way though im stoked about it. these are going to sell out so fast.

Some day, I hope Hasbro goes and revisits these Frankenjoes, but they'll do for now (well, except for Leatherneck, who's terrible, but I digress...).

what boggles my mind is why Hasbro is tossing this many 'firsts' into exclusive seven packs? Seriously do they honestly believe something like Alley viper or range viper won't sell on singles?
I'd take these guys or any of the exclusive boxed set figures (like the next to impossible to find Alpine) over yet another Cobra Trooper. that being said, Hasbro does love to rerelease the hell out of these things...so fingers crossed. |

They were GOING to release these in single cards, comic packs, and vehicles. But the Major retailers didn't want them. So Hasbro repurposed the unused molds from the 14th, 15th, 16th single card waves, the next two waves of comic packs past the Tunnel Rat/Shockblast ones, and the wave 5 + vehicles into these online exclusive 7 packs BECAUSE THEY KNEW THE FIGURES WOULD SELL, WERE WANTED, AND WOULD MAKE THEIR MONEY BACK.

no kidding? Wow, considering how fast I see these fly off shelves (and I'm in RI where we generally get a really fast restock on this stuff) this really shocks me. well at least they're coming out- now if we could just get some rereleases of the exclusive to DVD. vehicle sets. sorry I don't want to shell out 15 bucks just to get lift-ticket |

I dont know why they didn't use the shipwreck legs on chuckles they would have been a much better match to the original figure.I got my alley vipers from ebay today and without a doubt it is an awesome figure Hasbro would have to be nuts not to make him available for mass distribution.Maybe they will do an urban camo version (blue & grey) we can only hope
