Whilst I admit I haven't been impresssed by the con set so far, this one really blew my socks off. Check it out:

Whoa, those actually look really cool!

i must agree this convention set is looking cool
the bat colours are cool :)
looking forward in getting this set

That is a very nice BAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I knew it'd have to be something pretty fancy if Outrider was posting the thread, and it is!

Very nice combination of parts, and the colours are very striking without being garish. I already wanted this set, now I want this set with some extra BATs!

Sweet. I will definatly be picking up a few of these from somewhere.

Looks like I'm the first that didn't like the BATs. Well, if someone will be picking up an extra set I'll look forward for the Headhunters, Stormtroopers and SWAT guys :D.

how much cost this set?

If you read the filecard on the preview page, there's also an indication of another con-exclusive figure, the cobra mechanic Hotwire

This is the first figure from the set that I like. It's amazing!

This is by far my favorite BAT since 1986.

I'm with you Toneguns...Yuck!

Wow, this is the only figure in the set that I like.

This figure looks great!

Interestingly divisive, this figure -- haven't seen any "meh" reactions...!

I'd noticed the references to Hotwire, as Dzirhan mentioned. I'm assuming he'll be in one of the supplementary packs like Starduster & Grand Slam, Steeler and Rip-It last year. I'm certainly curious to see what parts he's made from.

Anyone heard anything about vehicles? I'm assuming a Pulverizer mech repaint is forthcoming, looking at Gristle's shadow. Any kind of urban assault vehicle for the Joes though? Not sure what it could be -- Hummer? Silver Mirage? I've always seen the VvV Neutralizer as an urban ops vehicle but I don't think anyone else likes it enough for them to use...!

At least another friend with a good taste for figures ;).

I'd split the cost with you. I'll take the BATs and you can have the rest of the figures. :D

And much would it be?

I really want this Set but i sure can't make it to the Con,i need to find someone who would pick me up a Set.Anyone going that would pick up a Set for a fellow Joe Fan??? :)

Not sure but I'm sure that it will be posted or leak out soon. We just need to find someone who is going and ask them to pick one up for us.

Obviously I have no chance of attending the Con. I always have to pay a premium via eBay. Throw in the postage costs and it really hurts! :(

I can't spend that much, US$ 275 or US$ 145,00 on toys right now. I'll be searching for 1 or 2 loose figures at eBay, sorry.

Thats fine, it was just an idea

I am so torn on this set, I really want to like that bat but I'm just not sure if I do or not. I'll be getting it though and I'm excited as it is the first con set I'll be getting in whole.
