Best of the 80's is a shelf filler here. It's M.A.S.S. part 3&4 that are unseen. 1&2 are still common.

Wow here best of the 80's is scarce. I know a few people here are trying to find it.

wow. might be a reason why we haven't seen Bets fo 80's in many locations. Either this is someone at Hasbro's sick idea of a joke or someone in distribution royally screwed up.

I am one of those still looking for that pack. I go all 4 and this is the last one I need to comeplte the Mass Device and get my hands on Alpine.

My Bad. I was thinking of the Greatest Battles DVD set Not the Best of the 80's. Sorry bout that.

What's on the Greatest Battles DVD, anyway? The Valor Vs Venom movie?

Sounds pretty fail. And the figures look lame, too. Well, maybe when they go on überclearance, I might pick it up for custom fodder, or for trading.

I love how the package fails on all levels by showing images of all the characters in completely different outfits than the figures wear in the set.

That cracks me up to no end. The figures look ok if you keep in mind they're supposed to be tributes to the Valor v. Venom/Spy Troops/Joe vs. Cobra era.

The figures look fine enough. it is simply that all 4 of them are showcased on the packaging and not one of the images looks a thing like the actual figures.

Plus, they're the VvV designs, and they either look bad or redundant. Grey Snake-Eyes v3, hurray.

The Cobra Comander, which is a better repaint of the version from the Tripwire comic pack, is definatly the best of the set and realy the only one woth picking up unless you have a thing for SE and/or SS

The Duke isn't bad either. At least he has arms that can bend.

I have to say the best dvd pack I have gotten as of late is 5th dvd entertainment pack. Because it comes with all my favorite g.i. joe episode from the different seasons of the show. But as far as the greatest battle set goes my friend picked it up and was very unhappy with the set over all. He said it lacked the polish of the other dvd entertainment packs that had come out and the dvd was a joke.

The Greatest Battles set was a last minute rush job as a thank you of sorts to the fans before the movie came out. Some thanks.

If they wanted to thank fans there is a number of better things they could have done than that pack.
More Resolute (Destro, Baroness, Scarlet, Deceased Bazooka, Deceased Major Bludd, now that's a pack)
More Tiger Force/Python Patrol
Ninja Force
Slaughter's Marauders
MASK vs VENOM

There is a ton of better packs they could have done than that donkey of a shelf warmer. It seems more of a cop out than anything else.

They could use Wild Bill's head for the Dead Major Bludd figure. It's already pale white. Dude becareful with the talk of TF/PP here. There's a certain someone who posts who gets a touch cranky about them. Mostly TF.

Understood, I know that those aren't every ones favorites but some people do like them.

Beyond that, Has Hasbro said anything about possible release dates for the Cobra Island 7-packs? I know that the movie stuff should be on shelves in the next few weeks, but I haven't heard anything for those.

Haven't heard. Although I think they're going to be released sometime after Wave 2 of the movie toys. Try going back a few pages to see my list of all the Dukes they should've made. Those would've been better than the 5 pack.

Go to YoJoe.com to check pictures and make sure all the parts are there. Are the electronics fixable?
