Just wondering, why would you refer to it as a leak?  It's been standard thus far for press photos to be release about a month before they hit shelves in the US.

Edit: Spelling.

These cards are only good for people who open the figures, as a MOC collector, I will not be buying any figures I see on these new cards.

Mike or Ed, has this image been sent to this site?  After all, they did send the image of the new art work for the newsletter.  And also, the *official* GI JOE club doesn't have picture of this, nor does yojoe.com or even other sites.  It always seems to be TNI and Hisstank are getting these scopes.  They seem to have people in the inside releasing information before they should.  Hence, the reason why I called it leaked.

Ahh.  Yes it does always seem that the press photos show up at TNI before anywhere else.  I just assumed that they were somehow affiliated with Hasbro and it was "normal" that they would post them as soon as they get them.  As opposed to retailers who may take their time in posting up pre-orders etc.

We've seen the cardback but that's the first picture of a figure on that cardback released.

We are STILL the only site to of had the cardbacks shown a month ago.
I don't think we were supposed to debut the MOC images...

Still, I find it amusing that two U.S. based sites are NOW announcing news on Canadian items.  :lol:

We were never promised the carded images - but who really cares about them anyway? It was the cards that mattered, and we got THAT a month ago.

As for TNI, I am pretty sure they have a connection (legitimate) with Hasbro.

As for HissTank - as far as I know they have some "insiders" and get their stuff the less-than-legit way.
