Here's what info I have:
First noticed 2 peg stands on Wave 3 Comics. First shipment of comics had 1 peg (Date Code 73541) later shipments had 2 pegs Possible reason for wave 7 snake-Eyes and Duke stands to have 1 peg is that maybe the stands get names printed on them, then go into a box according to name. Since the name hasn't changed for Snake-Eyes or Duke, maybe there was still some old stock from Wave 4 and 5 left in the boxes and it got stuck into the wave 7 packaging with the new figures (Total speculation here) |

Thank you for the date stamps on the wave 7 SE. This is the first that I have heard of the BD Snake Eyes vs. Storm Shadow comic pack having a 2-peg stand but I have been looking, expecting it to arrive someday soon. With the exception of wave 7 Duke's stand color difference, I think that Hasbro takes generic GI Joe and Cobra stands from a large pool and applies the name of the character as a last step before the package is sealed. The 1-peg stands on recent Joe figures has to be completely random since there is no rhyme or reason to the date stamps being all over the place. Sure is a headache though.
The Hawk with silver straps was displayed loose at the San Diego Comic-Con last year in the images I saw online, but most of those looked like they were partially hand painted in some way and I honestly do not believe that any ended up carded. I have a 72191 date stamp on a Hawk/Scarlett 2-pack which is the earliest I have seen, and still no silver. Like the India flag Duke, I think it is non-existent. Could be wrong there, but I gave up on the silver Hawk search long ago just as I am about to with the 1-peg stands on recent Joes since wave 6. |

It is unconfirmed, but I caught word of another chrome logo sighting, this time on Lady Jaye. It IS unconfirmed, just a sighting at this point unless someone else here can speak for it. The Serpentor is confirmed, however.

I had a decent day of picking up a few items
2 Pegs Roadblock Gungho Chrome Logo Cobra Trooper Roadblock Cobra Commander Its completely getting out of hand, I just noticed I had a Fixed Crotch Gung Ho with 1 peg stand, with Chrome Logo, then a Fixed Crotch Gung Ho with 2 peg stand without Chrome Logo. Its nutty. |

I had a similar find with Snow Job: one with one peg, another with two pegs, both have chromed-out logos. I think from this point onward I am going to focus on getting one chrome logo and one of each type of stand for each character because now it IS out of hand. And if I cannot find the newest figures with one-peg stands, then so be it, I'm good with having just the corrected ones--it's just too random. At least wave 7 hasn't showed up with chromed logos...yet.
