I may have to break my own rule and get a 2 pack that has one I dont care to have. I will probably pass on IG and Destro, they came after my original Gi Joe run as a kid, so they hold no nostalgia for me.

The only thing that might cause a problem is, I'd want the comic also (I'm more interested in THAT than either of the figures)...! If you're up for it, let me know as & when you can buy the pack and we can work something out. I would offer to sell you the Falcon from a pack I bought, but being in the UK means I'm more likely to see an original '80s Falcon in a toy store than any 25th Joes... As for the others -- why did they have to use Flash's entire body on Tripwire? Couldn't they switch out the legs and upper arms for some that don't have the pads on? Hell, I'm all for updated versions of the classic designs (I'd prefer them) but I thought they were going for reproducing the original designs as accurately as possible in the new construction style? __________________ * * * * * Come check out my Flickr account for more pics of my collection and additional shots from my JoeDios photoshoots.

Nemesis Immortal is probably the lamest thing I've ever seen and I've seen alot of Action Figures. I saw Baroness from this line when they were first released and i have to say this is just as bad. Utterly Shocking. Falcon.. oh dear what have they done with his face? You know if i found this figure at a market someplace looking at his hands and his face i'd say he was a gi joe knockoff. The colours and paint apps look cheap and lazy.. whats going on with his face too, looks like he got trout slapped!! The IG looks great, but when will Hasbro learn, these need to be released in single packs.. nobody wants to buy 30 IG Destros all the same style!! Tripwire looks really good, I have to say even though he's reused repainted parts they've done him well. The paint and parts mix well. Cobra Commander - oh what again? Here is a challenge for Hasbro on their Q&A can you go release one wave without the following: 1. Repaint 2. Reused Character I.E Duke, CC, Storm Shadow or a SE? Now i can actually side with hasbro on the basis they are using plastic and the soaring cost of oil is making them drive prices up.. clap clap I applaud you for realising that you would need to charge the collectors and fans $1 or $2 more on the figures.. but if your going to do this at least release a decent product!! That falcon.. urgh and Nemesis Immortal, what with all the extra funds we're paying out on the figures you can't stump up enough dollar to pay for the copyright on his name.. I find this latest run of figures a shambles, although if i'm honest the whole 25th Anniversary has been nothing but an abuse by a toy manufacturer at the celebration of a nostalgic community.. truely awful form from Hasbro. __________________ My Sites Eternity Toys Superiorville Toy blog Urban Saboteur Stories Social Sites & Communities Facebook Flickr Tweet Me

"New listings from Wal-Mart, and I remembered the UPCs this time: New vehicles were listed besides the new ones we already know are coming. AWE Striker - 65356933558 (Target Exclusive before, new paint style?) Firebat - 65356932840 Fang & Claw - 65356933557 Cobra Stinger - 65356938196 Atck Cannon Cl - 65356938195 There was a listing for the SHARC too, I just did not get the UPC. There was a listing for a DTC Hiss, don't know if that is the classic or another, did not see a listing for the regular Hiss, so this is probably it, just not sure."

Flatline THEY ARE NOT DOLLS!!! Offline --> Posts: 16,465 --> Join Date: Jun 2007	mostly Because We All Love The Original Sculpt Of The O'ring Style. There Are So Many Of Us Who Either Missed Out Or Lost Or Sold, Broke Etc Etc.... Of Our Originals. A Slight Repaint/new Head Mold Whatever Brings Us Back To Those Days. Plus In Sets Like This It Offers A Great Way To Army Build Without Having To Search And Search Forever To Have A Decent Amount. Or Deal With Scelpers On Ebay. Dont Get Me Wrong The 25th Look Cool In Thier Own Right But They Are Not The Gi Joe Toys I Grew Up With And My Kids Love Them __________________ MY FLICKR PAGE......
