Two years in a row now the free figure and paratrooper has been a recolored figure of the one we got for being a member...

I guess this years is actually better since it is a noticeble color change unlike the Jungle Viper. I think the Nullifier looks pretty good in those colors.

Yeah, not digging the new sculpt figure... Dusty and Air Viper rocked, but last years jungle viper and this years drop figure being new sculpt... Not digging it...

Is there a sticker sheet with the Armadillo?

[GBPackRat]

Is today the drop? If anyones going, I've love to hear about it. I think that was my most favorite thing to do last year. It was really fun watching all those figures fall from the sky and watch the kids run and gather them.

The check in isn't until this evening so the drop won't be until tomorrow or Saturday.

edit - the drop is tomorrow morning

No sticker sheet. Only the armadillo. I still like it. I think it looks great. I like the marbalized look to it. I think slaughter and his thugs will be great rolling around in it!!

Here's the first reports from Ben Thomas this evening (he called about 5 min ago):

Vehicle - A Brown/Green Camo Warthog $48

Two Vehicle Set - Two Cobra Ferrets (Confirmed: one matches the Bludd Troops and one matches Overlords Troops, both are marblized) - $25 (Limit 2 on Thursday Night, 2 on Friday Night).

Renegades 3 Pack - $50
Sgt. Slaughter - $25

Moth Op. #2 - Desert Set (Flak Viper? and Range Viper) Don't have a price. Will be for sale there, Ben called it lame.

Armadillo does have a decal sheet, but they are late in shipping, I guess you can come back later at the con to get it.
