The Cobra Night Watch pack: :thumbsup: but I can't army build for a long time. Something came up.
Bat 6 pack with Overkill (new sculpt): Not a fan of the new bats. But 10 bucks says there was a Bat theme plan for this year and they shoved most the Bat figures for this set.
The DD 3 pack: It's about time this pack I voted for was made. Finally, a new Cover Girl was over due.
Singles: Meh, I don't care about them any more.
Comic 6 packs: Nothing really new here as most of people knew about comic 9 and 75 were going to be released. Scarlett with piss yellow skis. lol .
The GI JOE Moray: Beachhead and Flint look like the figures released in the Night Force set. I hope so so I can pass on this ugly beast.
The Heavy Assult 6 pack: Is this a joke? This looks like crap. No more greenshirts. One set of them was enough.
Crimson Shadow 6 pack: The figures look ok but it looks like this CGs took a bath in motor oil.
Not impressed with the new vehicles except for the ROCC.
Overall, not bad for a line that was planned to be shelved. But I think I am done being a completist.

Maybe I'll finally sell my Defiant to make room?
Top 3 items on Jon's want list
1) Cover Girl 3-pack
2) Scarlett/Breaker 3-pack
3) R.O.C.C.
I still maintain that the Cobra Infantry pack was a vast improvement over the original Cobra Troops. But the Night Watch team will satisfy the purists.

I'm damn excited for the Sigma Six cartoon. I really dig their takes on each character. I'm lovin' Tunnel Rat.

They all good to me...I love anything new...and they do all look ok. I am not going to army build to much anymore...so the variations on all the army builders tire me but at least everything looks good....except for the star wars stands all the figures are on!

man! this looks like a 3 3/4 adaptation of the Adventure team's mobile command center, sweet!
Thanks for the pics Pete.
Great toys though I noticed that the single pack Spirit and the comic pack one are the same figure except one is in black the other is in green...
Too many repaint IMO but still they look great!.
Why is the hiss coming with a NC?? Where's Rip Off err I mean Rip It?
I want the comic pack above them all.
looks like the hiatus will bring us a great selection of figures

So any word on if this stuff will be available to Canadians? Either directly via the mail order or through distribution to places like Bounty Hunter?
Funny you should post this.
I just got word (via email) sent last night that I will NOT be able to carry them.
Why? Because I'm in Canada.
Hasbro Canada will NOT be bringing these in for the Collector market.
Once again, we get screwed.
Time to find a U.S. source I guess.

I just noticed something that does worry me a bit. Looking at the pic of the new HISS, I noticed Night Creeper is using a stand from a SW ROTS fig. I'm praying this means they increased the peg hole size on ROTS figs and I didn't notice or just glued his feet to the stand. If the new figs have the smaller SW size pegholes then none of my spare stands will be useful.
Those stands don't come with the Joes. They were for display purposes.

Congratulations dumbass for not grasping what I was trying to say.
Maybe you should get your special ed teacher to help you understand what the fuck I was trying to say. I was pointing out that I was hoping they glued his fucking feet to the stand becuase I would be royally fucking pissed off if they changed the new Joes over to the smaller peg holes the current SW figs use. I didn't realise it took an IQ higher than room temperature to understand that.

Yes, I am a huge Star Wars collector :roll:. Like I know about the peg sizes and like I really give a crap.
Oh ya, who the heck are you? Considered yourself already warned for a personal attack on a board member, mod or not. I let a lot of things slide but not this. I won't edit or delete your comments just yet. I want the board members to see how somebody with 5 posts contributes. Piece of advice, if you don't have the balls to say to a person's face (especially me), don't post it.

If you know nothing about the SW peg sizes, why did you bother quoting me with some bs answer? I never at any point asked if the stands came with the figures, only wanted to know about a potential size change in the peg holes.
Yes consider myself warned. Now about you questioning whether I'd have the balls to say that to your face. I would, but unfortunately I don't drive and Oshawa is a really long walk. Plus I don't think I'd be successful looking up "Pete The Greek" in the phone book to actually find your house.
Now I hope you understand how funny it is for you to talk about me not having balls, when I get a PM from Scramble instead of you asking me not to be so "defensive and vulgar".

I posted what I had to so why would I need to send a PM?
As for the balls part, that applies to any member of this board, including myself. So you didn't like what I posted. Big deal. Instead you implied I was a retard in your grade 4 hissy fit. Smart move. Considering you can't drive, that sums up everything there.

Ok... So my wife makes me dig up our front yard, plant trees, plant flowers, and I get to do it in the 'joy' of the hot sun, only to come here today and see this?
Blud,
At NO time is it acceptable to 'crap' on another user on this message board.
Pete was offered 'Mod Duties' on this board because he's to the point and fair about things.
Regardless if Pete is a Mod or not, you shouldn't of blasted him the way you had. If you thought he was being a dick with you, then you should of PM'd him about it.
Your post about the peg holes could of been misread and taken to mean a a few different things, but your post ranting on Pete can only be taken as one.
And that ONE is not permitted here.
If a MOD has something to say, or asks you not to do something, then you listen to them as if they were me (the owner of this site).
If you think the Mod is being unfair with you - contact me.
Read This: http://www.joecanuck.com/joe/board/phpBB2/faq.php#29 (http://www.joecanuck.com/joe/board/phpBB2/faq.php#29)
I'm not going to force you to apoligize to Pete for acting the way you did, but should you decide to do so anyway (out here or via PM to him), then we'll forget about this 'hiccup' in the week.
Cool?

That was a good one.
Sorry aboot bein an a-hole Pete.

Moving on....What's up with Major Barrage's neckpoint? I thought about using his arms and torso for a Guile custom, but how am I gonna sculpt a head if the ballpoint could be in it and not attached like the other figures?
Actually, they covered that at the con, apparently it's because the head honcho of the design team didn't like it when his old Joes like Outback and Salvo had skin on their torso, and an articulation gap between the neck and the chest skin. I have no idea why that's such a big deal, myself.
