Title: Convention exclusives

Well MC posted this yesterday (I assume most people know about this) as it has hit other message boards.

The AGP: looks ok.  Never cared for the original version.

The Iron Mech:  I hate these type of toys. Just stupid looking.

3 3/4" Steel Brigade Command 3 Pack (Gung Ho, Dragonsky, and Steel Brigade Commander):  :thumbsup: These are very nice looking figures.

3 3/4" Steel Brigade Trooper 2 Pack: Not bad.  Better than the skinny garbage that was released back in 1987.  

3 3/4" Steel Brigade Skyhawk 3 Pack: Those look good.  But where are the guns?

3 3/4" Hydrofoil with Blue Cobra Deck & decals: This one doesn't make any sence as how does it fit in with Destro and his IGs?  This must have been a backup as I do remember reading that a Condor was suppose to be apart of this years set.  This Moray should have been released a few years ago with the Anaconda set.  And based on the mountain backdrop, it smells like Cobra Island.

Postives: The Joe stuff looks very good and fits into a single theme.

The Bad: These vehicles for Destro AGP and the Iron Mech are week. I think I am going to keep my Bat APC and give it to Destro guys in this set.  

The Ugly: The price tag. 233 US for all the extras.  Come on.  I bought the arguement last years exclusives were expensive because it was in Disney World. But this year it's in MN.  Last years stuff was 195 US.  Just shakes his head.

I'm starting to think the Moray was an after thought. If you don't count the Moray then the whole set of extras would have cost $158.00 and that would have been cheaper then last years set.

I think I still like last years set more than this year. All the extras made more sense to me.
