Well, dont look for these packs anytime soon or maybe ever.

) The Official G.I.Joe Collectors Club newsletter unveiled the 2010 Now and Then figure sets. While we are thrilled, we can't help but notice that, while the Target Exclusive Rockslide/Snowjob set used new parts to keep the vintage figure as 100% accurate to the original as possible, the new two packs use the same, relatively new tooling from the 2004 Comic Pack figures. From our past experiences, these figures had difficulty standing or generally having their parts fit together as to hold a pose (for example, Snake Eyes using a Roadblock waist). Will these figures be changed to more accurately reflect their original vintage counterparts or are we going to receive what we saw in the press photos? Call us spoiled, but after the incredible execution on the Rockslide set, we're so excited to see vintage and new figures together.

When developing any Now and Then product, we always seek to find the most accurate tooling available for the vintage figures. We have not tooled anything new for any Now and Then vintage characters and have been able to use the same tools as the Classic GI Joe. We seek to maintain the highest quality and authenticity for all our products, especially those items that are vintage based. Unfortunately, we will not have any Now and Then packs released for 2010 at this point, but we are looking into them for the future.
