I hope they don't remove any of Lifeline's goodies.

Well if this was a packing variant your resale collect-ability is now 0 with it opened.

I just checked mine out and can confirm this packaging difference as well. So they took out a few accessories from the Trooper, but added/upgraded (IMO) the Vipers accessories. Yes I know they replaced the spring loaded rocket from the first wave, but the 2nd wave I certainly like better.

One pistol and no barbed wire is fine with me, but I do wish they'd given the figure an additional rifle. By contrast, the Vipers could use a pistol and knife (even if they can't store them on the figure) and would be fine trading a rifle for it. Guess I have to pick up a few 30th Vipers (already have four 30th Troopers and planning to get more) to diversify the armory.

BBTS says they are shipping with either one (no choice) I have 1/2 a dozen and seen more and none have barbed wire. I'll see what my Wave 1 and 2 cases have when they arrive from BBTS next week

I will still buy the figures anytime I see them. The new cobra trooper is still way better than the 25th version. They really needed to get rid of a gun, silencer, and a barbed wire though. Oh no, we saved ourselves a cent on accessories.

I am surprised no one has noticed all this. I do not open anything, but there seems to be this with the troopers (although I thought it was the poc wave then the 30 wave), the ig missing the blue gun in 30 style, and the switching of the artillery with the vipers. NOt sure about the steeel brigade yet. But as for them cutting cost to get new figure...seriously? I know one olive out of each million makes a million but come on, Maybe to cut cost period, I have no hope it is to make a better thing down the road. As I see it, they state on the pack, "shit may vary" which means they can put fake poo in there if they wanted. In a sense it could be giving the mad collectors a bone....or just being a little cheap. But not for investment purposes, frankenstiening and accesory swapping is the name of the game ad has been since the rah days...especially when we got into vvv land. (or the low quality looking 2000 era) COBRA!
