[The Thing]

Here is the CNW.

[Jase]

I'll be picking up a few sets! I was hoping that the price at HTS would be $14.99 to offset the shipping. Oh well.

at HTS would be $14.99

While I've already ordered my sets from Amazon, I'm waiting for Amazon to have their annual July sale where they offer all the 6 packs for $14.99. You know it's coming. The key is whether there will be anything left in stock other than Winter Operations when they finally offer the sale.

[xhairs]

well thats what TRU was chargeing any way. but i dont know if ill be picking them up.

[TommyGoth]

They look cool, nice variety of weapons too. Wonder when it will go onsale? Also, if the original wave was any indication, HTS will be the cheapest.

[Dieselboy M]

while i'm not getting that set, it's cool to see that it's up on the site. the addition of a new product after the first wave of stuff just makes me more optimistic and excited about the dtc line.

[8speed]

Great looking set, easily getting 2-3.

 

Though, I must say, I wish Hasbro would shave down grips on these JvC weapons when they pack'em, with RAH figures. They all look to stretch the hands too much.

[GeneralZod]

Ill get one...if they would have the new heads i would have gotten about 5

[Viper Hunter]

Wonder why they don't just wait until the item is in stock, to begin advertising them. I never pre-order stuff and don't really know what the benefit would be anyway?

[Spike]

The benefit of pre-ordering would be to make sure you have the set before they get sold out and you don't have a chance at getting them anymore becuase others beat you to it. But I don't pre-order anyway. I might get a set when it is for sale.

[AVAC]

Eh, this pack doesn't excite me as much. Had these come out before the other infantry set, I would have ordered them but now it just seems like a step backward.

 

Hopefully the pack does well to help promote future packs but I can't justify picking it up.

[Snow_Serpent]

The benefit of pre-ordering would be to make sure you have the set before they get sold out and you don't have a chance at getting them anymore becuase others beat you to it.

Pre-orders often have a nasty habit of not being fully filled. Especially when you are unable to get your money refunded or the product never ships.

I think that was the clincher for me too - I, in fact, ordered none. Changed my mind about the whole thing. I guess the fact that it's basically the comic-pack mold turned me off after getting a few packs of the Cobra Infantry set.

[Jase]

I wonder why Hasbro won't make another new head? If they can make a comic pack with 3 new heads, why not one new head for a 6-pk?

Why can't Hasbro just issue more of the Infantry 6-pack? The line is pretty much dead at retail, and it was issued about 18 months ago, so why couldn't they do it?

[Pit Viper]

As someone who was only able to get 2 Infantry 6-packs OFF OF EBAY because people hoarded the ones from Amazon (doesn't have a Toys "R" Us in his area) I will be buying a few of these for sure.

Yeah, although those new infantry head sculpts looked a little scrunched at first, they quickly grew on me, and didn't look as bad as first thought.

 

Now I actually prefer them over the orignal ones.

 

I'll still want a set or two of these nevertheless, but had they been of the new head sculpts, maybe more.

[Toiletmonkey1]

oohhh yeah im getting a couple of these bad oscar's!!! you can never have enough troopers, wish they were blue but ya cant have it all i guess?

[Guest A-MAN]

I'd agree about the new heads, except the lazy fools didn't make a new officer head. That "V" is a Cobra tradition!

 

The comic molds were brighter primary colors, I think these night watch troopers will mesh better.

 

Most cobra troop types don't mesh well, anyway. Especially old sculpt and new.

[obiprime]

I pre-ordered Six Packs from Amazon. While I prefer the New heads these figures are monumental in Cobra's history. In my opinion You'd be a fool to not get at least One.

[Tazzzman]

I'll wait until the HTS get them and I already pre ordered one pack from gijoehq.com

[Draven79]

To bad the lost the Infantry head as I too prefer that one. Just getting one set.

[8speed]

They should've done a new head, but not make it as long as the CIF one. Something inbetween the new head and the old one. With the V of course, that's always a nice touch.

(It's too bad they didn't actually come with AK's this time either.) @bH@

From my understanding, the mold to the CIF troop was lost in a factory seizure in China. That's the same reason we had temporarily(thank god not permanently) lost the Scarlett/Breaker/CC comic pack molds. Anyone else remember this being discussed? Draven?
