i dont understand how this set can cost as much as a normal joecon set considering its modern era mold figs. i could see mabe 125-150 tops but anymore then that is too much. its a cool set but im sure i will pass on this.

It's unique and a special version you will not find eslewhere (till ebay). It is also what helps pay for the con...fans buy expensive stuff..it is no different than a promotional dinner you pay $2000 to go hear a government person speak or a doctor at a fund raiser event and what do you end up getting out of it? Other than the opporutnity to exeprince it or have a unqiue item its about the same here as with this set.
I think these vipers look badass as hell. Thier accents and paint apps destroy the new Neo-vipers from ROC. Who cares if they have different legs, it gives them asskicker leather boots, after all they are the badassess on the Strike Force not your run of the mill plain old viper. This is a great update to a classic figure that does not blow them 50 million light years out of proportion. Man I am so wanting this set it is so freaking cool looking! Money burning a hole in my pants...

International G.I. Joe Collectors' Convention - JoeCon 2009!
Though many have seen the newsletter scans, GIJCC finally put the pictures up. Pretty . . . underwhelming compared to the last few years. I'm sure some of you are excited though, so enjoy it! $280 if you are a club member. Quote:

I was thinking about getting this set but that Baroness and the Vipers killed it for me. If they wanted to try that hard to make the Vipers look like the old half Viper/half BAT version they should of atleast used the actual BAT legs. I still wouldn't of bought it but atleast that would made more sense.

I like the Baroness and the Vipers...
different strokes for different folks I guess. Still haven't decided if I'm going to the con or not... i.e. haven't decided if I can afford it! |

Yea . . . so what's you point? ; )
You could always look at the pictures on the link provided . . . if you do, you'll notice in pretty large font where the con is.

Uh, even if you were a completist, these do not count. These are glorified customs
HASBRO did not officially introduce them into their confirmed line up.
