Excellent question.
For regular retail releases, For 25th I am happy with; Eels, BATs, Hiss Tank Driver (though this new one looks better), I'm fine with Barbecue, Trip Wire, Deep Six, Slip Stream is a well done enough kit bash, CC V3, Snow Serpent, Destro v2, Croc Master, Wild Weasel, Iron Grenadier, DVD pack Serpentor, Quick Kick and Alpine, Blow Torch, Recondo, 2009 box set Shipwreck, Strato Viper, Alley Viper, Range Viper, Night Creeper, all of the Noks, Hall of Heroes Beachhead, Zartan, and Viper still hold up ok for me. Zap is cool if they get rid of that ankle holster. Destro v2 may need an update to hold up next to the 50th Destro though. I'm ok with the twins' body builds but with the club heads (if they work on that torso) would be cool on the vintage 2 pack kit with the mirrored sides. I'd love the HoH Zartan as is, packed in with a vintage Chameleon box. I'm cool with the 25th Lampreys and RoC Motor Viper kit bash builds but I'd like a more vintage accurate head for them. I appreciate the extra work on the clear masks but I don't want to see their faces. I want their face masks reflective and anonymous-it makes them more evil and less human. RoC I was happy with the Heavy Metal kit bash and not sure if he's popular enough to redo but I think there are parts out there to make a better one. Star Viper was a well done kit bash. 30th; Was happy with Low Light, Life Line, Air Tight, Cobra Trooper, Rock Viper & Techno Viper. Ret; Kamakura, Ultimate SE, SS, CC, Night Viper, 50th Firefly 3 pack build and gear in Ret classic color scheme. 50th; Gung Ho, Destro, Ice Viper,Heat Viper, Leatherneck, SAW Viper. SDCC Cobra Officer but would love to see it upgraded with the Ultimate CC left thigh with the dagger if possible. (Lady Jaye was a good sculpt but the paint apps on her face dropped her a notch for me-that's an easy fix.) Flint was good but needs his proper arms, they exist, Hasbro just needs to use them. I'm not saying these are perfect (some were) and I've seen some even better customs on the inter webs but I'd be happy with these as is on vintage card. I guess some of the 25th releases I already have on vintage card too. Some ended up in box sets or two packs. You sir are in my head.. all the things you mentioned I agree with. Although you did not mention some key players from the 25th line that were good... All of the Dreadknocks, the Walmart Monkey Wrench was good, when you use Obi One's head from EP2 movie figure. I love Sgt Slaughter from SDCC release, both version, Zarana from the SDCC line, and SciFi was a great release as well. ANd Lady Jay from the 2009 5 pack was a better head than the 50th release, thoughts? O and v2 Roadblock from the 50th line was pretty cool too. ON TO WAVE 2 I will pick up Scarlett and Destro just becuase I want the heads and see if it can hold up to the 5 pack scarlett... to me still the best. Destro just cuz I wanna see what the hype is about with the 50th line, which I passed on. Which reminds me, I need that Night Landing set. I can not wait for the other waves and see if we get figures we never had before. Finally RB could be the Yellow Stalker of the bunch... remember that deal... only the OG hiss tankers will remember that and how we felt after passing or opening those yellow stalkers hahaha

I scored a baroness for free. I got one off ebay and it pretty much arrived with the card crushed to hell. Figure was fine as far as I can tell except for some dented/torn bubble. I told the seller and he told me to keep it and refunded my money. I just asked for half. Im guessing maybe he insured it?

Wave 2 will obviously be revealed Saturday at HasbroPulseCon.
Let's just hope they have something else to reveal. |

If anyone finds 3 extra Scarletts would be willing to pick them up for me that would be awesome. 2 for my daughters Katie and Isabelle, 1 for my niece.
Thank you in advance for your help. Andy

Wave 2 case pack is:
2 roadblock 3 Destro 1 Scarlett Shows how out of touch Hasbro is with its own brand. Let’s pack 3 Destro because Cobra is so popular! Sorry, we buy multiples of army builders not specific characters. That figure was already released it just has new deco. So they short pack what will be one of the most popular in the wave because I can only assume she is a female character. If you were to short pack her then give us 3 roadblock. A version we have been clamoring for a while now. |

I hope someone opens up Roadblock so we can see what's under the vest. However, in all honesty, I'm probably gonna pass on Roadblock and just keep this one in my display.
