Life happens. Things get delayed.

Understood. I can't even begin to imagine the number of plates you must have spinning right now. Just to set my own expectations, should we anticipate any more guest reveals prior to the con? If not, I'm totally cool with the guests already lined up.

Not sure if the editing suggestions are still helpful at this point. Maybe already printed. Not important either way.
Sure do like the bio though!

Traction: "...move to / too slow..."

Nuts! You beat me to it.  I saw this last night as well, but wasn't in a position to post.

However, other than the minor typo, Traction's file card is my favorite. I think it really captures his personality and definitely has a distinct Cobra (North) vibe about it. It probably also helps that nothing is blacked out.  Thanks for the cool reveal to tide us over.

The plot thickens.......4 Cobra North troopers?  The Joes need some more recruits!

? FOUR?.... I'm confused.

I think I know where Emags is coming from, since I had/have some level of confusion myself. There's mentions in the file cards about a 2nd in command of Cobra North, but because of the blacked out text, it seems unclear (or mysterious) as to whether Retrofit is the 2nd in command being referenced or a yet-to-be-revealed figure (one of the remaining two - assuming they aren't Canuckleheads as mentioned before in another thread). Based on my understanding of the JoeCanuck universe, Shiver was second in command under Black Ice, so when he switched sides, that left a vacuum of power for that position. So unless Retrofit is the new 2nd in command of Cobra North, who is it?

The file cards look great! And I love the blueprints for the HATE Scout!

Still to be shown, two more figures and one more vehicle! (Date to be announced)
Let the guessing begin!

TRACTION : http://www.joecanuck.com/jc/index.php?topic=6364.0

Based on the vehicle/cost speculation that occurred in the TRACTION thread coupled with the timing of the reveal for the remaining components of the con set, not to mention that we haven't seen a single Joe element in the set yet, I am starting to wonder (or dream) whether the vehicle will actually be the RHINO and the two figures that will be revealed will be the ground vehicle driver and the helicopter pilot for it. Also, THE Mike's statement above mentions "date" to be announced rather than "dates". Assuming the singular usage of the word was intentional, it may imply that the two figures and the vehicle "go together" (RHINO + its component drivers). But then again the HATE Scout and Traction were revealed separately.

These are the types of things that I think about on my way home from work when I should be paying attention to the traffic.

So if the Exclusive section is empty, do we now wait in line or are the sets sold out?

Only 25 of the 125 sets were available for pre-order, so there will be (roughly) 100 sets available for those standing in line.
