I don't think Richard would mind if I posted this here

http://photobucket.com/albums/b120/singleguy007/

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.

I can finally afford to buy a lot of this stuff.. now I just need to find space.

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 want me an ROCC and a Rhino!
I'm damn excited for the Sigma Six cartoon. I really dig their takes on each character. I'm lovin' Tunnel Rat.

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.

Thanks for the pictures Pete!

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.

Those stands don't come with the Joes.  They were for display purposes.
