With the Star Wars items delayed, I doubt there will even be much lag on HTS on August 14th. Everything this year is pretty much not worth reselling. And the supply was so high at the con, there's a risk to any reseller that HTS also has a big supply which pushes eBay prices even lower on everything. I think people who wait for HTS will be happy they easily got a good deal on everything, at least until they see how poorly HTS packs the stuff. |

Did you get a tracking number? Every package shipped through the USPS has a tracking number now.

Thanks to Tanker Tomahawk, I got the MCC today!!! And guess what. I now have a CV CO!!!
The MCC CT legs are OK, but the knees will not straighten all the way causing him to be a tad shorter than the 30th CT. He may need the Salvo treatment. The MCC CC is cool, but I'm not sure I like the 25th torso and arms. Here's some comparison pics with the Ult. CC: The hood is OK, but the gun will not fit on his back when the hood is on.

The CC is a joke. Rolling back to the old mold after the amazing 50th one is just pathetic.

Has the viper officer in the above pic been modified? I thought he came with different legs.

the team was trying for more accuracy to the original CC. you know that, right? Ultimate CC, while obviously superior, is not as accurate as the original 25th CC.

Yeah, they said they wanted to be able to put his pistol on his back like the original. Doesn't really matter to me as I've got several of the Ultimate CCs, one with helmet and one with his cowl.

I know it and don't care. That sort of "accuracy" is the kind of thing no one would care about. If you want accuracy down to the mold of a figure, just repack the o-ring version here. As soon as you go to ME, the figure is no longer even close to accurate to the original, so use the best mold you have. You never saw any posts complaining about the Ultimate CC not having the gun plug. I doubt we would've even gotten one wistful "but wouldn't it have been cool if this CC had the gun plug like the original" comment if this set had used the Ultimate CC mold either. People definitely like the use of the Mickey logo and that would've been nice to see on the Ult. CC mold.

When I first saw the mickey cobra logo, my brain immediately jumped to the conclusion that Disney purchased the GI Joe (hey, they did it with star wars) brand and started thinking of all the possibilities that would follow such as a new movie or movie trilogy which would in turn result in more toys. After looking into it, i realized the original sears exclusive had this mickey mouse cobra logo. It was not intended to be mickey but rather a sloppy factory paint application that was given the mickey nickname.
I do like this set and I agree that the ultimate cobra commander is superior. I like the red stripe and blue ankle straps on the exclusive cc though. If they wanted to have the pistol on his back, I think the better option would have been to use a small backpack of some sort on the ultimate cc. The troopers are nice as well but the helmets appear to be bigger than the 50th ct's. Hasbro, if you are listening, I would buy the heck out of a cobra trooper multi-pack using parts from the last few years. I'm sure other hiss-tankers would as well. |
