According to Corner Store Comics (http://http://cornerstorecomics.com/) the Wave 5 2008 case will consist of:
Hawk, Bazooka, BAT, Barbecue, Storm Shadow Black, Snow Serpent, Wild Bill, and Lt Torpedo
Credit to "teemu8" over at Hisstank for the find.

Hawk? I hope it's finally bomber jacket Hawk. But I'm torn. Do I want a comic accurate blond crew cut Hawk or a cartoon accurate dark curly hair Hawk?
-
I want a cartoon version of Hawk. This is the Hawk I grew up with.

At least here is the B.A.T.

I posted him in another page, but nobody saw it I guess...

Not only only a home run, but a grand slam...just like Frank Thomas's blast yesterday to shut up those Red Sox fans at Roger's Centre yesterday.

I love Barbecue! There are so many winners in that wave, but I love Barbecue. He was one of my favourites from the cartoon but he's gotten pretty obscure over the years. It's great seeing a new figure that reminds me of those great memories.
-
Like Pete said, total home run with that wave.
Its kinda funny; I had the comic pack Hawk in my hand a little while back and said to my wife "y'know, if I pick this up and they release a bomber jacket Hawk later I'm going to be ticked". Sure enough, I left it there and now bam, bomber jacket Hawkl. ;D
-
Those are might cool. I was going to make a custom Ninja-Ku but the rit dye didn't take to the body very well. Now what and I going to do with a tetrish Storm Shadow that is part black and a dirty grey? :-

They seem to improve with each wave and I agree BBQ is awsome!
-
Ugh. I want a lot of the BATS and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Hasbro should just sell them by the case load to the collectors on line. I don't feel like fighting for army builders anymore.

They've got this stuff to cover up incomplete dye jobs, called "paint" I think it also comes in black.
I'm not sure where they sell it, but I hear it's pretty popular.

This the only info that I was really pleased to read:
10. Q. Is the Head sculpt for Gen. Hawk ver.2 the same as ver .1
A. No All new head sculpt. Note the picture everyone see's was a rushed paint job he will look better in final production. Also Gen. Hawk ver. 2 will have brown hair with a little bit of grey.
and the rest
Here is the Q and A list as promised.The Source is a friend of mine from Hasbro, I talked to him this morning on 4-9-08
1. Q. Will the file card for the black Storm Shadow explain and expand on the Ninja-Ku clan concept that is described for the figure on GIJoe.com to tie it to the international character?
A. Yes and Yes. I think you will be pleased.
2. Q. Will the BAT come with the damaged parts head, ECT? And "spore" backpack?
A. No. Not in this wave
3. Q. Is Hawk's shoulder holster attached to his collar?
A. No
4. Q. Is BBQ's helmet removable?
A. No
5. Q. Are the goggles on Hawks helmet removable?
A. No
6. Q. Will the holster that is being used for Hawk v2 be the same one used for Steeler?
A. No
7. Q. besides Storm Shadow, is the rest of wave 9 completely new molds
A. Yes all are new molds except Storm Shadow and BBQ whose parts were retooled from Snow Job.
8. Q. Is snow serpent’s helmet removable?
A. No but his goggles on the helmet is a separate mold and there clear and you could see through them. Note--- The goggles are not removable.
9. Q. Will we see more vipers and Bats in the Future.
A. You can bet that anything Hasbro makes that is an army builder you will see more of.
