great issue I like that you had tips on painting with spray paint since I use the same spray paint for my base coat on my models as well as my custom vehicles

The Cobra art with the Python Patrol gives me hope we will see new waves.

Any chance that Hasbro will communicate when new waves are distributed in Canada?

All in all, another great issue!

Sweet magazine this issue. Congrats to every one involved.

Loved seeing the new packaging art.

I do have one minor thing to bring up. Has anyone else attempted to do the word search? I can find part of Grand Slam, Long Range and Storm Shadow, which leads me to believe there should be at least 3 more columns of letter. I had my girlfriend go over it as well and she came to teh same conclusion. No biggie, but I would like to know if this is the case and I can just strike these 3 names off (and maybe a name or two I can't find may be hidden in the lost part)

Oops. Seems I messed that up. My bad. If you want to reprint it, go ahead  - I've just included the full word search now.

I am not a fan of the new artwork.  Part of the reason why I am keeping the American carded MOC is that enjoy the old school individual art work.  This doesn't cut it, especially if all future waves have the same art work.

Is it me or are some of the pictures in the newsletter blurry?  Ed's Hyena pictures look fine though.

Also any though of embedding web links within the newsletter?  You have to do is mouse over and click.

The close-ups of the multi language text, as well as the Sigma 6 Firefly picture are a little pixelated, but legible.

The rest are ok to me.

I loved this months issue.
The figure looks fantastic!
The exclusive card art - not perfect in my opinion was a great addition to the newsletter.
I loved the reviews.
The sigma six stuff - I never collected any of this, but wow it tempting now!

A suggestion for next month (probably obvious) include a Canadian Joe Meet guide, everything that one would need
Directions, Hotel Info, Phone numbers etc etc.  Even a blank Name Tag for guests.

That's all going to be in there. (Except the name tags) There's some people driving pretty far to attend - so we want to make sure they have something good to read (and some directions) along the way. ;-)

Hey Mike. This was the best issue by far. Will the next issue be before or after the meet?
