25th Anniversary Line

[iFett]

Finally picked up a normal colored Stalker today at Target to go with my neon baby puke version and I was tempted to get the Shipwreck w/Anchor, but the paint apps on his beard was all messed up.  Looks like they put out two cases today so I'm going to track this and see how long it takes them to sell through.

Has anybody found a Legion's 5pack that actually has a Cobra Driver with a fully painted helmet?  I've not come across a single set with a decent looking one.

New comic packs.

Destro & Breaker
Torch & Ripper


Count me in for them both. I could do without the Destro repaint, but for Breaker, I'll get it. 

[Neal]

Hahaha ... Breaker has his bubble gum.  That's awesome.  And I love how the Dreadnoks are displayed.  Torch is holding Ripper's gun as well as his own.  It's nice to see that Hasbro knows the product they're selling.

[Reid]

Love how they added Breaker's gum... That's some nice detail there. Where was that on my DTC CP Breaker? I'll pass, as I own the aforementioned DTC pack. The 'Noks look neat, they'll fit in nicely with Buzzer and Zartan, or just bossing around some Cobra goons.

[Jesse James]

I keep creeping closer to buying a Storm Shadow or SNake Eyes every time I see one...  If I see Firefly, he's bought.  I won't be able to help myself.

[iFett]

...And then there was one.  My Target put out 2-3 cases yesterday - went back today and there was just a lone Storm Shadow on the pegs.  I'd call that a pretty good sell through.

[efranks]

Breaker is awesome looking but I'm not going to buy another Destro to get him...especially not one all decked out in purple.

   E...

[CHEWIE]

I love Destro, but a repacked Cobra Trooper would be better.  Come on Hasbro...

[Reid]

I love Destro, but a repacked Cobra Trooper would be better.  Come on Hasbro...

Technically, they already repacked the Cobra Trooper in Wave 2. However, a repack of the Stinger Driver would be excellent. I might get that Gas Mask/Airborne Trooper though.

[CHEWIE]

One can never have too many Cobra Troopers!   

Yeah you're right though, a Stinger driver would be better.

[iFett]

Wave 5

That Destro is a freakin gem.  I never owned that version of him as a kid so I can't wait to get him.  I'm probably going to go overboard on the Crimson Guard as I do with all of the carded Cobra Troopers I find in the wild.

[Ben]

As hellish as it's been to get Cobra army builders at retail (which is ******* near impossible for me) that CG is going to be worse.

[efranks]

That Destro is one of the nicest looking action figures from any line I've seen.  The CG is also hot.

   E...

[DoctorPadawan]

It looks like Hasbro's modified the rules for the mailaway Doc a bit to allow older Flag Points in place of the Comic Pack UPC/POPs.  While I applaud this due to finding the requirement of buying that day-glo Duke vs. Cobra Commander in order to get Doc to be absolutely ridiculous, it's been, oh, about 14 years since I had any Flag Points laying around.  Why can't they include the regular figures in this promotion?

Oh well, I guess I won't be getting a Doc after all.   

[Paul]

I've got some Flag points left....DoctorPadawan..if you want, you can snag one of my extra Docs. It says you can get 3 more for Flag points, and at last count, I had 200 still...

Pretty neat of Hasbro/Collector's Club to do that.  Sadly, I'd probably have enough anyway if that Crimson Guard Comic pack is decent enough. 

At this point I figure I will snag at least 4 of the Hawk Comic pack to do quick headswap customs of the original 13 that don't get treatment.

At least 2 of the Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow one, 1 Day-Glo Duke/CC, 2 Dreadnoks, 2 Destro/Breaker, 2-4 Crimson Guard packs, and depending on the Wild Weasel issue #115 (if rumors are true) it looks like I'll have enough Comic Packs to get 2 without the added Flag Points/Battle Points.
