New 7 Packs!!!!
« on: October 12, 2011, 09:27:34 PM »
HissTank is reporting via its Facebook page that the next 7 packs to be released will be Slaughter's Marauders vs Dreadnoks.  The Marauders team will consist of Red Dog, Taurus, Mercer, Lt. Falcon, Spirit, Low-Light, and Barbecue and the Dreadnoks pack will have Zandar, Zayana (?), Thrasher, Road Pig, Gnawgahyde and Burn-Out.

While the Marauders pack seems merely ok (I don't mind another Low-Light just for the accessories but do we really need Spirit and BBQ again?) I'm absolutely PSYCHED for the 'Nok pack.  Besides Zandar & Road Pig, I'm totally pumped that my Thunder Machine and Air Skiff will have some 25th-style drivers!

Dreadnoks and Sgt. Slaughter's Marauders/Renegades!!!!

Saw on Joecustoms a link to a site that shall not be named and they have pics from a Hasbro event with 7 Dreadnoks and 7 Marauders/Renegades.

The prevailing belief is that these will be the 2 BBTS exclusive 7 packs announced tomorrow.

The breakdown is:

DREADNOKS:

Burnout
Thunder (Thrasher)
Road Pig
Gnaw (Gnawgahyde)
Zanzibar
Zanya
Zandar

MARAUDERS/RENEGADES:

Mercenary (Mercer)
Bull (Taurus)
Red Dog
Barbeque
Low Light
Spirit (Predator Billy version)
Falcon

For the record I would like to note that I had my post up first by 20 seconds.   ;D

I get the feeling they were being taken on the "sly" to not draw attention since the official announcement isn't until tomorrow.

Toynewsi has some better pics.

Certainly not my first choice of characters for 7 packs. Most of these are from the era of joe when it really started going downhill for me, so not really a priority. I would have liked more early joes to fill in some more holes (cover girl for eg.) but being 7 packs I can see why they wanted to go with theme/team oriented sets. Never been a fan of the dreadnoks, but a few look good. Zandar looks really good. Zanya actually looks really good, even though she is a modern character. I really wish she was the SDCC exlusive and Zarana was in this pack. It still irks me to no end that Zarana was the SDCC exclusive. The Joe set is really weak though. Just goofy coloured repaints and characters I have no interest in. I'll likely want to pick up the dreadnoks, not sure about the other pack unless it's reasonable to get them in a package deal. Being a BBTS exclusive, perhaps it may be worth going in together with someone local to get these... Unless a Canadian online retailer can carry these too? At a reasonable price of course.

THANK YOU SIR for that one.  I think my favorite of all of them is Road Pig.  He simply looks AWESOME!  An almost perfect likeness of the character!

I have to say that I love the Dreadnok pack.  It is a great way to finish off a bunch of characters, much like the defense/attack of cobra island packs.

I would have been more "meh" with the Marauders/renegades if not for the Renegades being thrown in as well.  However inwould have preferred another sub-team before the Marauders (tiger force, night force).

I look forward to getting the Renegades and a Falcon figure that is not awful.

I'll most likely be trading off the other three (Spirit, BBQ, Low-Light) if anyone is interested.

Cool. I like 'em!

Will we be able to get them from within Canada? I'm looking at you Hal!  ;)
