I'm kinda disappointed myself. I mean usually with vehicles we get random vipers for Cobra and either new made up characters or lesser known characters with G.I. Joe.
That's why I didn't buy either of the mech suits. But next year we get a new updated version of Alpine (that looks amazing) but in order to get him we have to buy the mech suit. This is particularly disappointing, because if you look closely his jacket is the exact same used in the cancelled arctic threat Duke figure. One could buy two of him, take the jacket from one, put it on the Arctic Threat Duke, repaint it and then they really would have the complete cancelled figure. But again, you have to buy the mech suit with it... |

about the same as having to buy a Mech to get Kickstart- not happy. i'm not interested in mechs so if anyone has an extra Kickstart I'll buy or trade.

I think I won't buy it and live with not having the figure.

About the same way I felt when I was compelled to buy the Wolverine just to get Cover Girl, or the Stun to get a Motor Viper. It's been the reality since Joe was created.

Patience, grasshopper. Our guys in China may get a bunch of the Alpine figures as they have with a lot (if not most) of the ROC and POC vehicle figures.

Meh, I love mecha, especially 1:18 mecha with working cockpits, so I'll get it. But I do understand where your coming from. Just keep an eye out for loose figures on eBay over the next 8 months.

How do I feel about getting an Alpine and another Mech for only 19.99+tax?

At least the Wolverine was a cool vehicle. But as a kid it can sometimes be hard to convince parents to buy the bigger vehicles.
