Rehashing Mission Brazil vs Python Patrol is the easy way out. Mind you, I bet we get some killer vehicles out of it.
The should build up on "The Plague" idea from Joe Vs Cobra or even some of their own stuff.

well, thank Thor they're not arsing around with cryptic crossword clues this year.
Agreed.
My first reaction to the set was yawn. I already have these guys in 3 3/4 form. Hence, I rather have new characters. But I am interested in seeing how Sparta will be constructed. The head sculpt from the comic is the only version that looks good.
And I have read some where that the price of this years set has gone up? Really? I can buy into the argument that classic 3 3/4 figures would cost more as you need to hunt down the molds, create new ones as the originals are worn out etc. But these are the new style figures. Besides that some new heads and accessories need to be done, what other reason is there to increase the price of the set? Oh, I bet the reason will be Disney but I am not fully buying that.

$305 US for repaints of 25th molds I may have to pass. We already got Brazil Leatherneck and Python Cobra troopers in the original 25th run. The only figures I'd consider are the new additions to the set.
Nah, man, the single carded ones we got are the "officers" the troopers in the set will use the regular officer mold. They were reversed in the Python Patrol sub team. So of all the original python patrol members, the televiper and the trooper are the only two we haven't gotten yet.

• The first 100 American Hero’s or Homefront Hero’s registrations
received by January 14, 2011 will receive a special Mission
Brazil II cloisonné lapel pin.
• 325 American Heroes or 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” Mission Brazil II figures (no
box, certificate, etc) for $185. This is limited to one extra

Plus you get a free exclusive item. In 2009 I think it was the commandos heroicos helicopter (fang). And at the con they will have for sale some other exclusives like a 2 pack, 3 pack, and some vehicles. Hadn't decided if I should go yet, even though I could drive there. And I'm not sure what the deal is with the "parachute drop," one comment was that they hand those out to everyone now.
The deal with the parachute drop figure changes from year to year. I've been to Cons. where they handed them out to attendies and I've been where they make you buy them. This year remains to be seen.

Yes, they have dropped figures in the past (seen it a couple times)but in recent years they have had issues with zoning laws and other conflicts. I also don't think Disney has ever allowed it on their property to begin with.

Now they've posted the Mainframe and the Python Patrol Televiper. Televiper doesn't have the better legs that were on the unproduced version, has the regular viper legs like the 25th televiper. And the Mainframe means those of us hoping for accurate representations will be disappointed. He's green instead of red.
I guess they are going to use the "Mission Brazil II" as some sort of second mission/sequel. That will probably explain the alternate colours for the Joes.

Yeah I know what you mean. I want the club to supplement the 25th line with stuff we won't get from Hasbro, like the 2009 international figs from the con. It's nice to get more PP figs, but I feel the Joes so far are a miss.

They just revealed dialtone and wetsuit. Once again, looks like you guys will have a better con set than the one down here.
That's just it, isn't it. They have access to all the molds and they sky could be the limit. Instead of bringing some characters they keep going back to old sub teams. They should at least throw in one or two new guys. A new Python Patrol army builder in stead of 6 officers would have helped. How about Python Patrol Alley Viper? Or use the head from the Jungle Sniper Viper dude and make a P.P Night Ops guy. Heck, P.P. Hiss driver. This stuff is easy to think up. They need to get creative a bit.
The Joes could use a whole new character in the M.B. 2 set as well. They have the molds, just make a new head and kit bash something.
Now I want a P.P. Alley Viper. :(

I was just disappointed that the set isn't trying to be 80's accurate. There seems to be two camps of fans, one wants accurate translations into the 25th style and others want completely new stuff (I've been following the discussion on these on 4 different sites).
Post by: canprime on December 29, 2010, 07:51:30 PM
That's what this set is for me. Not a wild pitch, but definitely misses the plate. I get what they are going for with Mission Brazil 2, but it comes off as unnecessary when the fandom generally wants more unproduced ARAH figs in the 25th style and not interpretations.
Post by: darth cujo on December 29, 2010, 09:31:35 PM
That wetsuit is a pretty nice figure. Especially since it looks inspired by his appearance in yearbook #4. That is very cool! And I'm a sucker for figures in green camo and boonie hats. :) I likely wont get him since he will not likely be available at a reasonable price.

I've never bought any of these exclusives because they're always way over priced. So part of me likes to see stuff I have no interest in. Then I'm not missing out. The other part thinks it's cool to see some nice figures. I have a problem with the whole semi official-ness of their releases as well. They use hasbro molds, but they're not mass produced. But they fit right in with the "official" line, so generally it's frustrating because they are so limited and therefore expensive. I have not really been tempted by club figures in the past, since they haven't really fit my scope. But there are some that do, so it is annoying. I just wish they would make these available in numbers and at a cost that was reasonable.

Never say never. The Crimson Vipers and others from the 2009 set were going only for about $12-15 individually which is only just above regular retail in Canada. So you may find that these figs won't be too expensive, especially 6 months after the con.

That's good to hear. I know patience has paid off on many occasions for me in collecting. Especially in recent years with the mass of product out there combined with most collectors' short attention spans. Most stuff I've gotten the past few years has been for retail or less, even when factoring in shipping etc.

Overall a nice set, and frankly they really only missed on 3 figures (Leatherneck, Wet Suit, Mainframe). They were pretty darn close on Sparta and Claymore and sort of close on Dial-Tone. The got Cobra De Aco and the PP figs pretty much dead on considering the parts they had to work with.
I also like the PP art on the box, but would have liked to have seen some "action" art with the characters.
I only wish they would show the other exclusives that are for sale at the show, since I am still on the fence and that means I probably won't spend the money to go to the show.

Quote from: "Scramble"
It's discouraging that this is the first year the club reveals the whole set far in advance and it seems to have discouraged people more than anything. I'm not blaming the fans for that, it is a lackluster set made of fairly available parts, a mishmash of subteams done in two different ways, and expensive for tooling that is four years old tops. I just predict a return to the club's cloak and dagger routine next year.
They always reveal the boxset figures in advance. Not all at once, usually over the span of a few weeks.
I think it had more to do with the quick turn around from registration to show. They apparently got a lot of complaints about opening up registration around Christmas and this was their way of giving the fans something to see over the season while pushing back registration.
Post by: latinjoe22 on January 05, 2011, 01:07:57 PM
Their reimaginings of the Brazil mission lack the impacting colour scheme that their ARAH counterpart characters had. I'm also wondering why they had to retake the same characters when there are so many characters out there that could've been excellent Brazil mission candidates. Sparta, is a good choice (it's an Argentinian gi joe character If I remember correctly). The only character I have no problems with is Claymore, because I think he looks like a great Protagonist next to Cobra de Aço.
Cobra de Aço is, how should I say, a very simple but very cool figure, and there's more beautiful nothing like another shiny chromed helmet character. He is from the Brazilian Commandos Em Açao line which works well with the idea, but it's the Python Patrol team that he's leading (or not) that I have problems with. Their logo is all over the box, which I like, but It built great expectations on my side for an interesting Python subset.
Only two different Python Army builders? A third could've saved this set, then again maybe not.
I have difficulty accepting why there are so many Python troopers in this set. A few updated laser Vipers would've been the best support IMO for Cobra de Aço or even some Saw Vipers... New concepts would've been welcome too, but I don't see anything fresh in this set.
My mainstream is obviously ARAH (o-ring figures) as many of you already know but when I see something that I personnally like in the 25th style, I'm always opened to the idea of having it in my collection. This set does not meet my personal standards for a great set. I'm not even interested to know if there's a cool story behind these, as the set lacks the initial aesthetics that would Wow me in the first place.
Definitive pass for me, and no regrets.

V1 Stalker. Now that I think about it, most of the 25th anniversary figures that I had a hard time finding at regular retail all turned up at my two closest Winners.

is there anyone here getting a second set for the army builders and doesn't need the individual characters and can spare 1 of each Python figure?
I mainly want the TeleViper and Python Trooper just to finish my Python patrol set, if anyone is willing to part with one of each. The other individual characters, I would like to get, but my priority is one of each of the Python figures.
If anyone can help, please shoot me a pm.

There is actually a Marshalls now at Eglinton and Warden. It is where the Winners used to be until it moved across the street to a new building. Havne't been in yet to see what's what.
Yeah I saw that last week. Oh well, it's wait and see.
This store is currently under renovation, with nothing in it.

They only have the "Baggie" version available for sale. They did not say how many were left of those.
Where do you sign up for the baggie?
edit: nm you were talking about bbts, found it :) Dang its expensive...Does anyone want to split a loose set? The only figures I want are De Aco, Sparta and Captain Claymore

Scalpers are going to have a field day with this years set and the funny part is the army builders wont be the hot item.
Yeah early on they will make a killing, but like all Joe convention stuff, this time next year very little will be moving for anything more than con price +10%, except for the carded Dial-Tone since that will be very exclusive (relatively speaking) and highly sought after, ala Rowdy Roddy Piper.
The vehicles though have a history of not moving for much more than cost a year or more out. The vehicle choice and paint scheme may help, but history would say otherwise.

You know the MC club has a "homefront hero" set, right? Basically costs the same as the attending set AND you can buy the bagged set for a cheaper rate, right?
I always get both, add the cost together and divide by two. Work outs to $255 and $235 depending (box set costs $20.00 more)

Ouch! $334 for a bagged set?

The problem they are sold out for the Non-Attending. They have 50 sets at the CON for people that did not register and 50 boxed and 50 bagged (So I read somewhere) went to BBTS.COM.
His best chance is BBTS as Ebay will be higher!

+1 for Procrastinating or should that be -1?

Ya, I seriously didnt think it would sell out like this (first time ever?). Didnt know people liked Python Patrol this much. I actually liked the Crimson Set more, and that is still available at the store, though highly priced as well.

HaHaHa! I'm waiting for that sale too! I really want that Dr. Venom set to go on sale more!

The best thing I saw is people sharing order on forums. I saw some posts on JoeCustoms, Yojoe, etc. So one is buying a set and dispatching it between board members.
