So I saw the update from HasbroPulse about the next o-rings. Awesome choices but obviously this is what they had planned anyways before they had to add the cobra group to the skystriker set.

I like the cobra trooper and officer. Excellent although i wish this came in a 3 or 4 pack. Need more troopers then officers. I'll take 2 packs please. hopefully price isn't crazy.

Between that and the cobra commander we're getting with the skystriker set all we need is an updated cobra missle command centre which would be a great haslab. But it should  be made of plastic (including the background) and give it a bit of an update.

The cobra commander and duke set is cool. I'll probably pass on that though (maybe). I don't really have the same connection with the cartoon as opposed to the comics.

You know they re-did the Missile Command as a SDCC exclusive in 2017 right?  It was basically the same as the original, with better quality pieces (stronger than the original cardboard).  As well as three 3.75" figures (25th style, not O-ring).

I'm aware of the 2017 release but that's not quite what I mean. I want the background to be playable, Have some actual depth to the set. I want to be able to place a figure in the tunnel. Have an actual ladder going down. It should come with  those orange vehicles. An actual 3d missile.  A working over head led light etc. I'd like to swap the missile and put a rattler in there to make a cool hanger. That kind of update.

Good points canprime.

Agree on the points of articulation. I just want the sailors for dio purposes but yeah if I get even 10 of them thats a lot of money. sigh. Maybe I'll get 2.
anyone got a money tree? or maybe I need to start my own cobra scheme. lol

brief and to the point.
Thanks Sundance.

Belated Merry Christmas and happy new year to those still here. Hope all is well and everyone had a good and safe time. All the best for 2022.

Devastated that o-rings wouldn't have retail support, somehow i missed that................. probably saved my marriage though. HAHA!
That instantly almost makes them not affordable if I have to pay in US funds, and ship from the US. I was hoping for characters at maybe $12-15 CDN range. 


Hopefully I would like to see some troop builder packs including green shirts but from all branches (could even do a big 8 figure flagg deck crew set using that unlocked tier which I think is a given considering since the tooling will already exist).  I can live with new vehicles through haslabs but my support would be few and far between so I would want to know what they were doing for the whole year ahead of time as I could only back 1 or 2 depending on costs.

I'd also love to see some dress uniforms figures...obviously that limits the action but I always liked the dress marine gung-ho. He just didn't work because he was the only one.

As I type this I guess i really just want a do-over of the vintage line. I guess a can say I'm not a collector, I'm a person who enjoys playing with toys and I want my sons to have that same access to toys having them just sit there is counter to their purpose. Yep projecting onto my kids, but I won't apologize for that.
