I see they fixed Flint, now if it were in the original colors also

So far, this is the oldest I have ever been.

Snakes looks neat and Roadblock looks pretty cool too. Not really interested in the Python Patrol and Tiger Force figures, although I think they look ike great repaints. Baroness and CC are pretty meh, and I really don't like Major Bludd. The re-used Zartan sculpt just doesn't work for me at all.

Crap in a hat. These were sneaked on us a few days ago ala another site. We were HOPING that Hasbro might he doing some sort of cartoon 5-pack cuz Cobra Commander and Baroness example that the best. The only figures of true interest is Major Bludd with Roadblock v2 loosely behind that. But I can see using the v2 more than the v1 simply cuz of the vest. Pretty pathetic wave and at least I'll save money by not buying 2 of each.

I'll pick up Flint because the Tiger Force color scheme has always been closer to his cartoon appearance than his original colors.

I'm getting Cobra Commander for that silver stripe on top of his helmet. Yeah, it sounds silly, but that's a big deal to me, and it looks better than the stripe I added to my five-pack CC.

I'll get Baroness to swap her head onto the five-pack version.

I've always liked '86 Roadblock, so I'll likely get him as well.

Of course I plan to get Major Bludd, even if he is just a Zartan repaint with a new arm and head. I actually think this mold looks better for Bludd than for Zartan anyway.

I could care less about anything Python Patrol-related, so I'm definitely passing on that guy.

Of course, all of this is assuming they actually show up in my area!! I still have yet to find the Flash/Snow-Job/Destro wave, and the wave 2 comic packs!!!!!

I found Flash and that was it. Then we were back to 2007 Wave4; the 5-pack in singles. And even then, it was missing Snake Eyes and the Air Trooper. lol

I've never even seen the five-pack singles!

My WalMart here JUST put up pegs for the 25th figures this week, they were still empty as of last night. TRU had 1 Lady Jaye, Target had a Shipwreck & hooded CC. I can't find anything here!

Snake Eyes - I don't know much about GI Joe comic lore, but he looks good, so I'll probably grab 'im.

Roadblock - He won't be my default, but I can definitely see using him.

PP Cobra Officer - Right now he's a pass, but I guess it depends on how much more TF and PP come out.

Baroness - An EASY pass.

TF Flint - They fixed him! I wish they'd fixed his crotch, though. Here's hopin' for a Flint (proper 1985 toy colors with the Tiger Force arms) / Lady Jaye (hatless) comic pack!

Cobra Commander - I feel like a sucker, but I really want that white stripe

Major Bludd: Too important NOT to get.

And THAT, ladies and gentlemen... is one person's opinion.

Have fun, all!!!
