Any idea what figures with be included in the non-exclusive battle packs? I'm hoping they'll end up having the 5 I ended waiting to long to get or that the local stores didn't get in.

The one that stands out is lady jaye minus the hat she always has in most versions and she comes with one of her javenels that she can hold.

I just got Hooded SS, Beach Head and Lady Jaye today any their stands had two pegs. Thought that was interesting, also Beach Head completely lived up to my expectations.

Couldn’t find the tanks but today rocked hard anyway!

Congrats nekoman I really want beachhead but I will wait untill this summer to get lady jaye because there doing something special for G.I. JOE vs. COBRA 25th Anniversary 3-3/4-inch Entertainment Battle Packs that will be arriving in june.
Here is an image of lady jaye from those sets:

If you want Beach Head start looking hard, the current assortment has the revision version. You can get many more poses thanks to the second peg on his stand. Also, I’ve had much luck with Target, try looking there.

As for Lady Jaye, I’ll be getting both, just cant have enough Joes. But I highly recommend you think about getting the individually carded Jaye too. She’s a lot of fun to have on the Joe team.

Well I heard back from TRU and they basically blew me off. They were apologetic about being told the item was discontinued but were of the mindset that the set could've sold off in a half-hour. They kinda skipped over the part where they were supposed to hold one for me. I'm not out anything and didn't gain anything so I guess I'm cool. But if/when this happens again I'm going to really loose it.

I don't know if this is true or not but I read somewhere that hasbro might have some G.I. Joe 25th anniversary stuff on display at botcon this year. What do think hasbro will have on display at this years botcon.

I doubt they will show any Joe stuff that is not directly related to Transformers (like GIJOE/Transformers crossovers or something). They have SDCC, and the Joe convention to do that at.

If it's true hopefully it'd be more of the vehicle modes from the comics like with the Titanium Megatron tank. I unfortunately missed out on that one. I ended up liking the designs of the heroes and villains as cobra vehicles.
I'm hoping one day they will eventually make and release an Old Snake figure from the Transformers cartoon, even if he'd just be a modified mold of the helmeted Cobra Commander.

Has anyone else seen the images of the Wave 5 figures? I've just saw them a few minutes ago.
If not here's a link.

I'll probably end up getting all but the Storm Shadow where I already have both the Joe version of Storm Shadow and the original one from the boxed set. I definitely want a couple of the B.A.T. figures.

I got chromed head Destro and Breaker comic pack yesterday. There was one left too. Roadblock with the squashed bubble card still there. There's three left of the Crimson guard and Scar face trooper packs. Scarlett and Hawk packs along with Duke and playdoll Commander packs are shelf warmers in Toys r us.

Meh. Besides for the B.A.T., I think I'll pass on that wave.

Due to the unusually close connection between the Joe and Transformers lines as well as their fans I can see Hasbro crossing over the 25th anniversary line to Bot-Con.

I find it interesting that we get BBQ before Blow-Torch. I have a problem with BBQ being a firefighter though; traditional BBQ is smoked and should never come close to an open flame.

Think I’ll be doing a lot of troop building, wave five looks pretty dang good! To tell you the truth I’ll actually be troop building on that Storm Shadow. Not sure if all of you are aware of this, but he’s actually a homage to Ninja-Ku who is a grunt ninja sold exclusively in Argentina, similar to the Red ninjas.

Ninja-Ku

OK so last week I got my first 3 of these, buy the end of next when some orders arive I'll be at about 25 figs, and I want more!

The detailing is perfect, best ever. The articulation, outside of a waste swivel is awsome, and what I realy like is that all the weapons have a place on the figure, nothing is loose or extra!

The guns grip great, and the soft plastic is very nice as all you have to do on a loose grip is push the fingers in.

I realy can't get over how much I am liking these figs, all other RAH Joes are nothing to me now, and I hope all the figures(there realy is no shortage, same as TFs get to see a revival.

One of the things that realy wowed me about these guys thouth is Zartan, a great sculpt, and I like that he still had a mask, and so on...

He has a boot knife though, and alot of these figs have a knife or gun on the leg, but this is sonething cool. I was fiddling with him while watching TV the other day, and I wanted him to reach for his blade. I pushed his arm down, and lifted his leg and then something happened that never happened before in all my years of owning Joes...

He griped the blade on his own and drew it out of the sheath!!!!

Not only that he held it well, and I even got him to put it back

These guys are awesome! Any other Joe I've had in the past would have me doing alot of the happenings in that action. This figure, all I had to do was bend him!

!

Congrats Leige may I also recommend the comic two packs they have something extra cool a chance to mail away for a doc figure, plus the comic reprints are down right amazing I forgot how good the writing on some the comics form the 80's and 90's were.

News Credits: 7 · by **shortround** » Tue Apr 08, 2008 2:26 pm

I just picked up destro/breaker comic two pack and I'm wonder what that translucent pink ball is on the breaker's side of package is. I'm hoping
someone can answer the question as to what that thing is.
