Not bashing Hasbro because I love the 25th stuff, but I can't help but to think they really dropped the ball on the follow up stuff:
1) Vehicles
2) Two packs
3) Next sets of 5 packs
I've read enough of the Joe Con panel stuff and it kind of bothers me a little we're being told buy this first round of stuff and then you'll get the better stuff after that (vehicles and two packs).
1) Vehicles - I can understand the need to save money on the first drop by using previous vehicles, but the choices here seem to have been offered so many times before. My suggestions with different price points:
a) Cobra Stinger - $20 Seems an obvious choice.
b) Cobra Trouble Bubble - $15 A huge fan favorite
c) Joe Desert Fox (in Camo) - $20 to me, fits in with cutting ede DTC vehicles. They could enen give it the same color scheme as the ROCC or RHINO
d) Sky Hawk (in Camo) - $15 Same as above
2. Comic two packs. Just give us two packs, stop giving us crazy colored versions of figures we already own. I feel this doesn't work for SW and it won't work well for Joe. With the exception of Hawk, almost any other figure choices would have been better.
3. New 5 packs - I finally got to see a good clean shot of the new Cobra soldier five packs for TRU...I will absolutely being passing. The color schemes could not be any less appealling. Just give us the basic figures in the 5 pack for army building, or it you need something special for TRU, then paint them all black or atleast give them a complete camo scheme. I think these will not sell very well.
What does everyone else think??
