I'm hoping to stock up on a few hiss and a couple of cans of flat black spray paint. Too bad their driver sucks, but I'm sure I can find some who'll want them. __________________

I just wish they'd held out for the actual Hiss Driver. This guy looks like stinger driver with different pants. An all black Trooper would've been cool

Agreed! Crankcase and Grandslam rock! I'm curious to see what else, if anything, they re-release. Man I can't for these to hit! They better get to the Vamp and Clutch SOON!

Check out the three "Senior Ranking Officers" sets at the bottom of this page: http://gijoeclub.com/2008tru-sets.cfm They're going to be TRU exclusives. My quick opinions: The Crimson set is not my cup o' tea. I don't like Cobra Commander in red, and I really don't even like Siegies all that much, so I'll pass. The Cobra set is just the single card officer and the five-pack trooper, but they come with a more cartoon-accurate Cobra Commander than the supposed cartoon-accurate one that was revealed a few days ago! Note the absence of red trim on his gloves, and the gray upper belt, in addition to the stripe on the helmet. That's what a cartoon CC is supposed to look like! I'll probably skip the single-card one and grab this set. The Joe set leaves me with mixed feelings. It's great that we're getting Grunt (though I'm not sure why he's considered a senior officer). The Duke is the same one as we're getting single-carded with the jet pack. The Hawk is pretty neat, with the Duke torso and long sleeves. I could see myself using him as Hawk around HQ, when he doesn't always wear his bomber jacket (assuming they make a bomber jacket Hawk, which I'm almost certain they will). If nothing else, he looks more formal than comic pack Hawk, so I'll likely get this set-- Even if I do wind up with another Duke I won't need. Really, though, instead of Duke, I would've liked to see the Tiger Force Flint we just saw yesterday, but painted in his cartoon colors. That would've made the Joe set a definite must-buy. (oh, and I almost forgot-- Snow Job rifles are always a nice bonus incentive for me to get something, and the Joe set has two!) EDIT: Someone just said on another forum that the Hawk would make a great base for a 25th Steeler! I hadn't even considered that, but now the set is a must-buy! __________________ is on indefinite hiatus... Last edited by Self-Modifier : 01-25-2008 at 12:47 PM.

sgcaper Zombie Hunter Offline --> Posts: 797 --> Join Date: Feb 2006	I wouldn't be getting CC or SE if I wasn't trying to get the complete set of 25th stuff, if for no other reason then getting to be able to give them to my kids one day. Let's get some rare figures remade, or better yet how about throwing in an original figure once and a while. __________________ "The Irish when good are perfect."
