Hello,

I'm new here. You probally already know about the 2007 Convention Package for 3 3/4 figs that Hasbro is producing for the September convention.

Does someone have a preview picture of the real figs (not the drawing art)? The 2007 convention package look really great but sometime there is a big difference between Hasbro drawing and the reality...

Preview the Art box: http://www.mastercollector.com/neat/gij ... review.cfm

Do you plan buying this package? Here is some information to think of:

The Homefront Hero?s Package ($268 for Club Officer level members and $318 for others) consists of:
? Boxed set of figures from the American Hero?s Package
? Does not include admittance to the show or Name Badge
? All items shipped three to four weeks after the show to your home.
? This package is for those who cannot attend the show.
? If you order this package before September 21, 2007, shipping will be FREE!

And also...
? 400 Homefront Heroes (provided that you are an Officer level member of the Club) have the opportunity to purchase a second set of 3 3/4? Tanks for the Memories! figures (no box, certificate, etc) for $134. This is limited to one extra set per American Hero?s or Homefront Hero?s package purchased.

Any Officer level member of the Club interested in sharing this buying? 

Thanks.

Martin

Normally the Club previews the figures one at a time for a couple of weeks. Last year they also previewed the three pack that would be available to attendees, but that was an exception. One thing you don't have to worry about is how the figures compare to the art. The Club has done a great job translating the three dimensional figures into two dimensional box art.

Welcome to the board, by the way. How'd you find us?

I found you on eBay : http://stores.ebay.ca/HJL-Collectables

I'm looking for few figs to complete my collection (if to complete a collection is possible) and I want to sell some others. I will post in the appropriate forum when I will have more time.

I liked your joke when we are new and the default sentence below our profile shows: "I smell funny and new". I changed it fast!!

Thanks.

It's still there - look under your name above this post.
It stays there until you post enough.
Welcome aboard.

Speaking of the con figures, I've been over on the MC boards and the word is they are thinking of selling the Cobra female 6 pack in blue at a later date. I'm suggesting to them that they sell them loose in bags (no box) and try to keep the cost down to the $30.00 area for a six pack. I've suggested that if the price is low enough then they should make a lot of money in sheer volume and it might help the membership drive. They have confirmed they are thinking about the Cobra women 6 pack but no comment on bags vs box or cost yet.

Still, it's good news to hear that might be coming as an option.

I do and don't like this idea.

I do like the idea of being able to army build a cool trooper.

I don't like the idea of making the con figs mass produced at a low price point, because then it in essence screws the people who are paying big bucks for the con set.

I'd say release the female troopers at a lower price point, bagged like you said - but alter the paint scheme in some way to differentiate them from the actual convention ones.

Moved this to general joe talk.

QTT, ditto, amen, agreed

They are in a different colour. I don't think the Con figures are blue.

a troop builder set of the female "blue shirts" is a pending option.

[Pete The Greek]

Considering Lane skipped around my question regards to the colour, they will be black.  This will confirmed in an hour when the first figure will be posted.

Edit: The first figure has been posted.  The Cobra soldier female is black.

I like the new female trooper. Sure the torso sort of looks JvC ish to me, but meh, it's still cool. I want a set or two.

I really hope that they can reuse this mold later on in a bagged 6 pack in blue and not black. I'd like to see an army of these girls.

Another thought here. If the MC group has started to make their own molds then this really opens up the gates to what they can produce in the future. I think for it to make money for them it would have to be army builders so everyone buys more than one, but it's still a really cool thought.
