I'm going on a trip out of state for a few days tomorrow and plan to stop at a few TRUs along the way to where I'm staying and back. I was wondering if anyone who has gotten the Firefly vs Greenshirts 5 pack think it's worth getting? I want the set for the Greenshirts but I'm unsure whether I should get it considering the problem with the arms I read about.

Well they are Duke arms. The set I just got seemed to have issues with too much paint in the right wrist. I got two figures with wrists nearly broken off now. I absolutely hate the huge Breaker head. The other three heads (Flash, Duke and Hawk V1) are great though. The handles for the Uzi's they come with are pretty small (Don't even think about putting them in the left hands, they'll just fall out at the slightest notice)
It's got good and bad aspects. I'm ok with the set I have but I won't be buying any more |

Each Greenshirt comes with:
Knife Hand gun Uzi Classic Joe Gun Web Gear Helmet Figure Stand If you want you can make them give up thier gear to their superior officers who got short changed in the DVD packs. I only have 1 of these sets but I am glad I got it. I really like this FireFly also. And 24.99 remains a GREAT value for 5 figs.

I have one set and I have to say I like them. I did a little customizing to them. I printed out army, navy, air force, and marine corp. logos and placed one on each of their helmets. I thought it was a way of showing that each armed forces sent the best of their best to become joe recruits.

Maybe the real Joes decided to play a practical joke on the Greenshirts and told them they're Joes but all the paperwork says G.I.JDE.
Thanks for all the replies, I'm still not sure whether I'll get them or not, I'll decide when I see them and if I have the cash.
