I'm pretty psyched! It's like Hasbro had good cards hiding under their sleeves during the Spy Troop and VvV era. Did anyone notice that the spy armour that came with ST Tunnel Rat looks similar to Scrap Iron?

Is it wrong to buy ten CGs just for headswaps and the backpack? I do like the direction they're taking the single packs. Although Major Barrage looks like the stinker of the set. Generic and unnecessary.

The second new comic pack is awesome. Blond General Hawk, I love it. And the new heads on Tunnel Rat and Flint are pretty sharp too.

PURE plastic all around.

Oh, and that hawk rocks!

EDIT: Scratch that. Instead, it looks like they'll be having a white border all around it!

One thing that is no good...(at a second real close glance)...is that the accessories for the three packs are from the same 10 or so accessoires used for all the muti-packs in the last year.  I am sure it is to save on the overall production...but I getting tiered of some of those.  :roll:

Also I wonder whats under CC helmet...(unmasked)...probably a full head covering with eyelets.  :shifty:

I think that CC is actualy Fred (insert number here) since those are based on the comic and not the movie...

I like the look of them - the comic packs are still my favourite.
I am glad to single single card figures again, and I am guessing their character/weapons selection will only improve.

Can hardly wait to by able to pick these up from BountyHunter.

that's IF I can get them.

Remember - Hasbro Canada most likely won't bring these in for me - they suck.

Hey... we got a new character!

Post by: Spillspleen on May 06, 2005, 09:20:30 PM
Well the only thing left to say is...........................how much...???...I hope these are priced at less than...say 6 bucks U.S. Not like those Star Wars at 10 each!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really would like two sets now that I have looked at them several times...one to open one to leave on card!

I also wonder if these guys will be sold by the case..but each figure not each wave. Then you could order several cases of the army builders and not get stuck with the major bummer dude!!  :thumbsup:

I have the gut feeling these packages will be sold close to retail price.

Case in point, how much are Star Wars ROTS selling at retail? 9.99 CAN at TRU (from what I saw today).  The HasbroToyShop.com site has them listed at 6.99 US or 8.66 CAN.  Factor in shipping and you catch the drift.  Unlike Star Wars, these packs will be limited as it's for the collector market. So I expect a single pack to cost as just as much as a older 2 pack in retail.

Any ways, I prefer the single packs.  I hope there will be less figures released over time as a result.

As a whole I realy realy like the single pack.  Mike I need the new mut ro replace my Swamp Rat head for my customer!   I like it.  The comic packs look like they are getting better and better.  True I would like to see someone better the Battle Armour Cobra Comander, good story, bad look/figure, but that just might be me.

Cobra Commander will be great - his helmet will probably be removable.
I love the comic packs - have I mentioned that already?

If the helmet comes off I will very pleased.  Till then, I am going to wish for a different Cobra Comander.
