Oh, yeah, limit 2 per customer. Great for army building. Who'd want an army bigger than 2 officers and 2 troopers?

Lets say you want 5 troops/5 officers.... 5 packs... say 50 bucks total to keep it simple, that's 250 bucks anyway.
Better off just looking at vintage figs for that kind of money.

Yeah, yet if you mention that in 2004 the cobra infantry pack was $20, then in in 2006 or whenever, Night Watch 6 pack was $25, you get the usual "lower production number, they aren't selling toys to kids anymore, higher production costs..." I still ain't accepting that equals a 500% increase per figure. Even comparing Star Wars, a licensed property, in 2005 Revenge of the Sith line was $5 to $6 a figure and now are $13-14, almost 3 times what they were.
And modern collectors have to be chuckling, as Hasbro Pulse has the Walmart modern Officer still in stock...$13.99 each. Gee, if he were made with 1980's tech he'd be worth $7 more.

Chinas been having a lot of problems lately with the government locking people down for months with nothing. Lot of suicides in Shanghai.
*Without trying to sound like a jerk* So, yeah, delays.
Might be a good idea for us to start collecting cans of ravioli instead.

 Ha! The Retro line is something that I don't think is going to actually amount to much. I think we'll probably only wind up seeing 20 or so figures total. With most of them being repaints. |

Some of the extra weapons are odd, and no backpacks.

DUke and CC two pack preorders today at 1 PM eastern.
No CLAW for CC, so...it makes them focusing on the movie credits a bit incomplete.
I guess I'll preorder it. It's freaking crap that the Cobra set hasn't arrived yet and it's time to preorder another pack.
Next Transformers crossover, the AWE STRIKER that turns into....Bumblebee....not Hound or Beachcomber or Brawn...
And who else would come with the AWE STriker but....Stalker V1.
Yeah, looks neat but pass.

Looks like the guys that do Robot-Chicken made Duke and CC.
CC's helmet stripe is too big....neck is silver too.
Bumblebee...lol, epic fail.

AWE-BEE/Bumblestriker is around $70. You're not wrong about how Duke and CC look.  I prordered Duke and CC, mainly for CC. Well, only for CC. Duke has some good accessories and the correct arms. Yeah, $52 preorder in total. I must be nuts. But I have months to cancel it. Ships November. Yeah, this retro stuff won't amount to much. Hope some Chinese sellers have loose Baroness and Stalkers later. |

Why not do an o-ring Sgt. Slaughter while they are at it?

Sample they had of CC his neck isn't silver.  Those cartoon pistols look too big. |

I wish they gave CC his cape you could put on and off from his opening scene.

$33 Showing up as Premium Members only, which I am not. Hasbro didn't use the 25th Stinger with it's removable shovel AK-47 on the hood.  On a related note, I just learned about this blue version of Funskool "Giggles" Racing Jeep. They aren't cheap on ebay, though, for some reason. I think they are recently manufacture.  |
