I was thinking about Pulse exclusives and how it is a safe bet than retail wife releases. A great 3 pack idea is bomb strike, mayday, and firewall. Gets more ladies out there and I'm sure their bucks will be about the same. Same for short fuze, flash, and zap . Pretty similar bucks and not a huge variance in accessories

For those wondering why Starduster would include a chef's hat or cooking stuff, here was what Lenny said about him when he was revealed last December. Also quoting/re-posting a post I made a few months back with the backstory and original concept idea for Staduster.
LENNY: Let's go obscure first and go Starduster. EMILY: Starduster. LENNY: Yeah! Yeah, he's a wild one and he's coming along pretty good. EMILY: Perfect. TONY: Yeah, he's looking great. LENNY: Yeah. EMILY: So, you guys heard it here first, Starduster officially joining G.I. Joe Classified. LENNY: Who would have thought? Who would have thought Starduster? TONY: Me. ALL: [LAUGHING] EMILY: But I feel like it's-- we're at the point, we keep saying we're at the point in the line where we can start expanding out to some of the...not weirder characters, but I think more obscure. LENNY: The obscure. EMILY: Yeah! LENNY: And they round the line out, right? There's a lot of interesting characters who have interesting roles, Starduster is one of those. And he actually has a fun backstory how he was marketed back in the day, which we'll play into that as well. So I can't wait for people to see when we're ready to show him. Quote:
Here's the rundown on his backstory and why he would come with an apron, chef's hat and/or cooking utensils (per the awesome Creating GHIJ books). Starduster was originally code named "Chef". He was part of a mail-away promotion for Purina/Ralston and the G.I. Joe Action Stars cereal in summer '85 (figures were sent out at the very beginning of '86). After the Chef code name and accessories were dropped, he was re-named Starduster. Originally he was also supposed to come with a removable parachute pack that would have been able to be fastened around the front of his waist/belt. Lenny's comments during his name reveal definitely suggest he may come with some of his original intended accessories as "Chef" since those are part of his original back story. Also makes sense why he is a deluxe if he is going to be coming with a helmet, visor, jump pack, rifle and pistol as well as possibly coming with a parachute pack, chef's hat, apron and maybe some kitchen utensils.
((interesting to see Rudat's original ideas for code names besides "Chef" were "S.O.S.", "Cutting" and "Slave".

Just buy more shelves , a buddy down here has a shelf that is 2 feet below the ceiling and is just over 18? wide that he keeps all of his vehicles on , it used to be a cat run made by the former owner . Its pretty cool goes all around all 4 walls .. its a clever reuse but a PITA to dust ..

Grand slam and flash basically the same , zap/short fuze not much difference @ all . Hell og 13 hawk is basically short fuze anyway ..

Exactly. This way we are one step closer to finishing the OG 13 and could flood us with more characters. And this could suffice as the extra stuff that was released for the hiss (all the 788 stuff, since a new sub-team might not be created for the dragonfly)

Release them with all their gear and include steel corps helmets. Boom army builder. Cal it the dragonfly ground artillery unit.
