We'll end up getting those Pit Crew figures. It wouldn't be the first time Hasbro has re-released a Haslab pack in figure. They did it with the Barge and they didn't even change the colors. They only changed the card and I think it came with a cup and the retail release didn't have the cup.
Look at the Razor Crest, a figure it's coming with actually got released at retail almost a year before the ship is delivered to backers. Granted the one with the ship has different accessories. But anyway, there is precedent for this and Hasbro will eventually get us the Pit Crew. |

I figure they'll just do a generic orange similar to the Cobra version. Make the head a little different and release it as a single figure. Then people can army build it to their hearts content. That way they can't be accused of going back on their word that the ones in the Haslab project are exclusive to that project.

If it weren't for the addition of Cobra Commander, I would have only backed one Sky Striker instead of three. I love Ketchup and Mustard and I am sad we didn't quite make it to that unlock but I am certainly not "pissed" about it and I am instead hopeful that we will one day be able to purchase them.
Even my six-year-old, who isn't into GI JOE as much as my eight-year-old, started rooting for us to get to the Ketchup/Mustard unlock. Whether made or unmade, those guys are now permanently part of the GI JOE lore for me. Ha.

I don't get pissed very much anymore. I'm very cool now.
Talking about pissed tho - one morning I did find a puddle of urine on my front porch. Who did this, a dog or a teenager or something? I think I know who did it tho, an old drunk guy who lives nearby. That made me kind of pissed about a year ago.

"pissed". No - absolutely not. They will produce those figures in one form or another. They know people want them. Give it time.

I'm not mad at all and glad it succeeded for everyone that ordered it.
I just never understood the reason they needed to make a new mold. Did they loose the 2011 mold since it was last used in 2016 for the Sky Patrol SkyStriker? I thought they could have reused the 2011 mold and made a new cockpit to slot it for the O'rings and updated the wing and landing gear mechanism way cheaper then making a whole new mold. The 2011 version was $39.99 ($50 in todays money) new and the seat was a separate piece that could easily have been replaced to fit Orings. Even with costs of shipping and manufacturing rising the plane could have retailed for $75 max. I'm really curious to see side by side comparisons of the new Skystriker with the 2011 and classic Skystrikers to see all the differences. I was really disapointed when I saw the prototype was still using the old thin concave wing with strenghtening bars design rather than updating it to a solid thicker flat wing on the underside to make it look like a real f14 from below. |

Absolute opposite from "pissed" for me. I feel REINVIGORATED with Joe...really weird too, I didn't expect an O-ring Joe HASLAB to breath some much needed fresh air into my collecting. My current primary attraction are ME and Classified sculpts, but this Joe HASLAB was just simply cool to be a part of! So ya, absolute opposite of "pissed" for me.

100%
?and I can?t wrap my head around being pissed that ANY extra figures were added to sweeten the deal.
