He does have a cool looking knife weapon. I didn't pick him up though... I'd rather see Hasbro improve the sculpt a bit and release him with his air chariot!

I like him. He is large and imposing, has the cool sword, and yes, the costume is a little different, but also cool.

I surely love those 5 packs. How many Cobra ones should I buy? Kind of wish the troopers were all black in color though, oh well.

Snake eyes looks good.

Vehicle sets look great, but no RIP IT? The trooper looks cool though, Grand Slam, a nice repaint, and Crank Case very nice.

I'm loving the Hiss tank. I forget, wasn't it black originally?

As for the Troop builder. The only thing keeping me from buying a crtapload of these it is the camofladge uniforms. They'd be better off releasing them with the standard Cobra Soldier/Officer colors.

I've seen images of the Striker in the old catalogs. I'm liking it.

I kind of wish the Sharc was it's classic coloring but I'll pick this up.

I'm still waiting on planes.

Well I just got bakc form my Wal Mart: I picked up the Cobra Soldier, Lady Jaye, Beachhead, and Buzzer. I did see Serpentor, but as I said before, I passed on him.

Because all orders from them were cancelled due to overwhelming demand. Hasbro never anticipated the line would be so popular. All shipments were sent to larger retailers.

Well they haven't canceled my pre orders yet so I think they're going another route to get them.

Check at the top of this page, or the previous page, Real One posted this...

It basically covers your needs.

EDIT: Chuckdawg I was wondering the same thing. My impatience has led me to buy a set off Ebay for about $9 a figure. I'm not patient where Firefly is involved.

I have seen Wave 2 and the Cobra Legions pack in stores, once each, but others have seen and bought those as well as, Wave 3. I just never get there on time.

Well, like my G1 chess set, I can wait. I unfortunately cannot bring myself to pay scalper prices on Ebay; some of whom I saw in action at a local TRU on Saturday, but that's a story for another time.

I got Firefly and Zartan today to complete wave 3. :grin:

Still need wave 2 though. :-(

Hi,

Not sure if this in the right place, if it's not please LMK where else to put it.

I'm in the UK and we never had any of Sigma Six stuff, last Joes I saw in a shop were the VvV two-packs.
What I'm after is one of the earlier Snake Eyes. Checked the evilBay, there are a few but they seem to be awfully pricey.
Can anyone either point me in the direction of, or even supply me with one?
Don't care whether he's carded or not, as long as he's not in too bad shape and has most of his bits.

Cheers,
Doug

Unfortunately your message is a little unclear. Are you talking an early vintage 3 3/4 SE, an early Sigma Six SE, or something else?

A pic of what you are talking about would help.

Sorry about that,
I'm after a S6 Snake Eyes,
Will try and sort a few pics later, when I'm not at work

Besides Duke, he probably has the most versions available!

Lucky for me I'm not a completist

Liking the 25th Anniversary Snake Eyes,
Have had to buy another one so I can open one and have one to keep carded.
The card was alot better than I was expecting, not usually bothered about packing but had to make an exception this time, card almost took my breath away

Cheers,
Doug

*EDIT*
A S6 Snake Eyes (the first release one, with the gas mask and NVGs) just popped up on evilBay and I've nabbed it :grin:

He's in the UK too, so not to long to wait until he's in my sweaty mitts

sorry if this was already posted before, but does anyone know all of the variants on the 25th anniversary figures?

The Cobra and Joe 5 packs have been redone with the figures in different poses.

Wave 1 Snake Eyes comes with either a brown or black Timber. The black one is rare.

The Cobra Troopers/Officers might have a variant in the color of their eyebrows. This has yet to be confirmed.

Sgt. Stalker will come first in a light green outfit then later a darker more toon accurate green.

By the by BBTS has the 2nd Cobra five pack in stock so they are getting their Joes from somewhere. You can all stop worrying now and hug your invisible girlfriends; I'll be getting my Joes. The universe is safe.
