The rifles are the only thing that kept me from getting this - should have just had a mix of AKs, M-16s, a Dragunov and an RPG. I HATE that rifle.

That's why we have Marauder now. This is still one of the best sets Hasbro did. My brother worked at TRU when these came out and he couldn't even get me one pack; he said people were waiting and buying these things by the case.

These figures were used recreated molds based on the officer and trooper molds with Thunder arms and waist. Goofy thing was the rifle and packs were recasts or copies, too. Why not remakes the ak-47 and dragonuv?

It really was a great set. I wish I had gotten more. I've always had bins full of extra guns, so I had no problem tossing the ones in this set in the garbage.

I agree. There should have been different rifles given, most rifles would have worked, though i'm glad at least they weren't given the same big laser pistols that the Alley Vipers were given(post 1994).

This set is getting scarcer and scarcer on ebay. It sells in the $50-100 range. I just wanted one I never could have any blue shirt when I was a kid so having 6 of them is more that I would have dreamed in my childhood.

I liked the troop building 6 packs that came out during the new sculpt era. The Crimson Guard, Shadow Guard, viper packs, night watch, the ninja set with the Vypra twins were among my favorites. I also liked the TRU 5 pack troop builder sets they did during the 25th line as well. I wish the struggling TRU corporation would ask Hasbro for some exclusive troop building sets now, with the POC, 30th & 50th molds.

The only one that I didn't like out of all the army builder 6 packs would be the Desert Patrol 6-pack. The Desert Patrol Dusty is the worst ARAH figure I have ever seen that did not have action attack and had full articulation.
