Looks like that TRU Moray is going to be packaged unassembled. That's great cause then I can repaint the decking blue & slap some Cobra stickers on it.

Major Bludd looks sweet! I'm liking the Snow Serpent.

Looks like I'll be living in a cardboard box with my toys cause Hasbro is making me broke!

I do love how none of the vehicles have garish colors. All of the black and silver works for me. Still hate those frickin firing missles though....Aren't these supposed to be geared toward collectors? Everything looks great to me , but they dropped the ball in that one area.

Yeah it looks like you may get 4 maybe 6 in the back there depending on how the seats are molded, excellent. No more cobra infantry holding on the back for dear life.

Hey guys according to the pics at http://afigures.com/g/?mode=view&alb...00&start=60the back of the Cobra Nightwatch guards says:

Cobra Infantry troops fight on the front line, patrol the perimeters and perform the grunt work that keeps the evil cobra organization operating.

Within this main infantry force are many smaller specialized groups, like the Cobra Night Watch. The dusk to dawn foot soldiers dwell in the darkness and slither in the shadows defending cobra bases during the night and assisting in Nighttime raids on GI Joe Bases.

The key words there for me is many smaller specialized groups I think we may be getting many types of basic Cobra Infantry packs repaints in the future , well at least that what I hope.

I saw one on ebay last night with a buy it now for $110, other than I havent seen a new one posted. i dont know how many where being offered at the convention.

What do you thing is a good price for a bagged set of the convention figures off ebay. I know they are selling for $110 if you bought the convention boxed set, but is it me but tacking on extra $50-75 is extreme dont you think? I was thinking $130 was reasonable>?

Dont get me started on the trooper 2 pack or skyhawk set......

If any one could help me out, let me know.

You are forgetting other costs involved such as plane tix or gas hotel and food bills. The seller is probably trying to re coup some of that as well.

Reason? It is as simple as they didn't make many and it sold out.
