As we all know WalMart's Exclusive Battle Stations are starting to hit the shelves. I found a set but only purchased the Joe Sets, left the Cobra sets behind for someone who really wants them. I never owned any of the Battle Stations back in the day. It's nice to see Hasbro releasing vintage stuff for the collectors.
The Outpost Defender is pretty much the same one released back in '86. This new one has a 1986 stamp on it. The main differences is the sandbags are a biege color oppose to the original green. All the weapons and steel roof are light grey, almost silver. The wooden barricade and crate are a darker brown. Otherwise it's exactly the same as the one released in 1986. The Outpost Defender comes with two figures, Tripwire and a Resolute Roadblock, well almost Resolute. Tripwire is the same as the single carded and Comic Pack release just repainted and none of his original accessories. Tripwire is now a very dark grey almost black with silver highlights and a hint of Tiger Force stripes. Tripwire comes with a little bomb disposal robot and a laptop that has a screen that was included with the stickers. Roadblock is basically the Resolute version we've seen before Night Adder. He comes with his Ma Deuce with tripod ammo belt and backpack. He actually comes with Heavy Duty's vest instead of his original that Night Adder comes with. The head mold is a huge improvement over the 25th Ann. version and man is he huge. The 25th Roadblock was the tallest figure from the original release.

I see what you mean by "almost Resolute." Y'know, it's almost too bad they just didn't do a Tiger Force Roadblock to match ol' Trippy.
Cool stuff. Thanks for the pics! |

Again, great pics. Can't wait to find this set, also the MMS. I'm not a huge fan of the Resolute Roadblock head sculpt, but it IS a lot better than the 25th.

First, I can't remember from the cartoon, but what would need to be done to make Roadblock match his Resolute designs? Second, I really like the crate. I'm thinking I could use 3-5 of them in my PIT. Anyone want to sell me theirs, or should I try eBay for the vintage versions?
