\r\n I am disappointed with the list of exclusives...why oh why do we need another Hydrofoil? How does it fit the theme? I was really really hoping for an all black Condor.wouldnt that have made more sense with the Iron Anvils?...disappointed with the price too..wasnt last years only 60?? The AGP was not a surprise either..I do like the transluscent wings however. 3 Sky Hawks...been a while since we\'ve seen that...actually should be good depending on the paint scheme. The Iron Mech is probably a repainted Defense Mech...Does anyone know how to get a parachute drop figure? (besides attending?) and will the figures be carded or poly bagged?\r\n
\r\n being that it will be the 2nd of 3 hydrofoils released in a 2 year peroid, i would expect to see people getting burnt out on them... \r\n \r\nthe tiger forceversion \r\nthe blue version \r\nthe other one to be released with weird camo on top of it at tru. \r\n \r\ni would think this will make sales slow....\r\n
Are those new headsculpts? Gung Ho always had a bandana, no?\r\n

\r\n it looks like they are marketing the moray to go with the anaconda set.. they have the cobra commmander on it in the pic... \r\n \r\n \r\ni am not real impressed with these, i think they had a lot of potential. they just didnt meet it... they are nice and collectible though\r\n
\r\n you mean that Tiger Force SB? That\'s one I rather have as well. With the mold for the Steel Brigade head available at the factory, I really don\'t know why MC, decided to go with the blackstar head instead.\r\n
\r\n unless the origin SB figure is one that is stuck in that chinese factoty that the governtment won\'t release. I think that\'s the reason those black officer/troopers have the old heads...cause the new ones are in that same factory and hasbro can\'t get to them. \r\n \r\njust stabbing in the dark here.\r\n
\r\n So am I to get that the Steel Brigade is now like the G.I.Joe force that fights the Iron Grenadiers? Or was this the best group they could come up with? \r\n \r\n-' + '- \r\nDevon\r\n

\r\ni am thinking this is the limit of their creativity.. I guess they are making something up so they will have a few known groups to use each year...i hope they improve upon there creativity.. if they really wanted to sale a bunch, they would get input from the collectors instead of trying to make everything some secret surprise\r\n
I sure would rather have that Steel Brigade that has been on eBay for the last year or two.

\r\ni was thinking the same thing as i was looking at the pictures.stuff at the convention is ok but i am more looking foward to the comic packs,6 packs , and single card figures due out.\r\n
\r\n Wow... Seems like no one will make a single complaint about Hasbro for a good while!!! The Night Watch pack, the Hydrofoil, the HISS and that big one that splits in 2 are freakin awesome, made me feel like I was back in the days! Won\'t be getting any of those, but if I could I would get them all!!!!!!!!! \r\n \r\nLucky North American YoJoers!!!!!!!!! \r\n
\r\n Wow... just great stuff.. \r\nI really like the Bat Attack pack. Robo-Kill, a Version 3, a Version 4, and 3 (I assume) Version 5s. \r\nThe Night Watch pck is really cool. I\'m glad I preordered it from GI JOE HQ. \r\n \r\nI\'m really disappointed abut not seeing Outback. When I saw Footloose and the new Barrell Roll and started to scroll over for the next figure that red tshirt on the card art made me think they were maybe doing a Euro Tiger Force scheme for the new Outback.... alas only Salvo. \r\nThe only new Cobra I have no interest in is the Range Viper. \r\n \r\nThe vehicles are a little weird. The new HISS is cool with the new canopy and the top rocket launchers, the side ones are a little much. \r\n \r\nI doubt I\'ll get the weird PAC/helicopter thing but the ROCC I will definitely get. Anyone know who the driver is?\r\n
\r\n http://photobucket.com/albums/b120/s...nt=minn456.jpg \r\nIs this Fred VII in the front? \r\n \r\nSo I\'m gonna have to order \'all\' of this online? When? \r\n \r\n...What will a Bludd and a HISS run me, you think? \r\n \r\n
\r\n
\r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n The ARAH stuff is just terrible. I guess this is the Hasbro guys saying "screw you" to ARAH collectors since they\'re bent out of shape that collectors haven\'t taken to the new sculpts like they would have hoped. The Heavy Assualt and Shadow Guard are just terrible figure sets. Plus, no new comic packs aside from what we\'ve already seen.\r\n \r\n
\r\n
\r\n
I still don\'t get why people haven\'t found the \'new\' sculpts any good. I happen to love them. The only thing I\'m \'unhappy\' about is a little part incompadibility-' + '-and that\'s a customizing issue. \r\n \r\nThen again, my first Joe was V13 Cobra Commander, so I\'ve \'always\' seen and loved the new sculpts. \r\n \r\n
\r\n
\r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n (wish we got a new HISS Driver instead of another Night Creeper though.)\r\n \r\n
\r\n
\r\n
I agree. I love the HISS Driver\'s look. \r\n \r\nAm I the only guy \'not\' buying/ordering a Night Force pack....? I feel like an outcast. \r\n \r\n
\r\n
\r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n I hope the Heavy Assault pack is a mock up. the art has 2 greenshirts, Duke, Ace, Snake Eyes and Mutt, but the package seems to have 3 greenshirts at the bottom, and three figures up top that I can\'t make out. though I guess even if they corrected it to coincide with the art (not likely if the past 6 packs are indicators), it would still stink like a skunk in heat.\r\n \r\n
\r\n
\r\n
You can kinda make out Duke and Snake Eyes (with the same head as the Desert Force or whatever it was six-pack) at the top.\r\n
\r\n Why do those Crimson Guards have ninja-weapons? I love the new color, but those ninja-weapons are just plain ridiculous . I wonder if they\'ll ever re-issue a CG with a v1-head..\r\n
\r\n can anyone at the con get a good pic of the snow serpent. I want to see if it come with all of the V1 weapons. and alittle help with the camo hydrofoil release date and price would be nice.... \r\n \r\nand is that a clear CC with the scarlet 3 pack???\r\n
\r\n Most stuff looks pretty good,but SHOOTING WEAPONS!!!...NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! \r\n \r\nHasbro has to stick it too us one way or another.\r\n
\r\n does the new hiss hold figures... it looks like it has a side door on it.. \r\n \r\nhttp://afigures.com/g/?mode=view&alb...e=800&start=15 \r\n \r\ni love most of this stuff.. dont like the idea of night creeper driving the hiss.. why do we need a ninja driving.. \r\n \r\n \r\nTHANKS TO ALL WHO ARE SENDING PICS OUT>>>\r\n
\r\n I have looked on Ebay and seen EVERYTHING for sale already, but I HAVENT seen the Hydrofoil..now it was mentioned WAYYY bak at the begining of this thread that they ran out (no reason provided yet)...but why havent we seen ANY on Ebay...even pre-orders...is something amiss with it? Anyone have info??\r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Cobra Infantry troops fight on the front line, patrol the perimeters and perform the grunt work that keeps the evil cobra organization operating. \r\n \r\nWithin 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.\r\n \r\n
\r\n
\r\n
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.\r\n
\r\n 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. \r\n \r\n \r\nWhat 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>? \r\n \r\nDont get me started on the trooper 2 pack or skyhawk set...... \r\n \r\nIf any one could help me out, let me know.\r\n

\r\nYou 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.\r\n

\r\n ARG, just when I think I\'m out they pull me back in! \n \nI really didn\'t want to get into new Joes, but that new Scarlett and Snow Serpent are basically forcing me to get them. Not to mention the army builder 6-packs and the Dreadnok set. Not enough money, especially since I get Transformers too. \r\n

Reason? It is as simple as they didn\'t make many and it sold out.\r\n
\r\n Well me I\'m digging everything. \r\n \r\nI love the new HISS (just wish we had a HISS Driver and not another Night Creeper) the ROCC kicks ***, heck yeah I want everything. \r\n \r\nSpecially each 6 pack. \r\n \r\nthe comic packs (I like the noks but c\'mon why not another Serpentor (with a hole in his head for the arrow), and a HISS with Baroness strapped down to it to recreate the cover huh.) \r\n \r\nThe other new figures I really like. The Snow Serpent is rather iffy but since missed Wave 6 entirely (damn poor stockers) would get a few. \r\n \r\nOh man my wallet is gonna kill me. \r\n \r\nI hope the talk about the new Sigma Six show hasn\'t started since hope somebody asks if Hasbr has plans to give us older fans some uncut action (knowing how 4kids loves to butcher good shows) I mean I\'ve seen some of Gonzo Studios action series and most of what they do if it wasn\'t grabbed by another compy and 4kids got it woulda been edited and hacked up big time. (all the good action scenes, we know there will be gun fights and well duh gonna be hearing after somebody been shot in the head "he\'s okay just knocked out" and other stupid lines) \r\n \r\nYeah I want uncut episodes or I\'ll hunt down the original Japanese episodes via Bit Torrent.\r\n

My first hand knowledge from someone who is there was that it was limtied to the amount on hand...someone quoted earlier that there were 750 made. They (MC) for some reason only brought so many and when they were gone, people were then added to a list to purchase more when MC returned back their facilities.\r\n

They didn\'t make 750 - they made "limited quantities."\r\n
