I'll probably get them all, grudgingly. I want more Siegies, so that set makes sense but I don't like the red CC. The blue Cobra Trooper pack is great, since I don't have the Battle Helmet CC. The Joe pack also looks good, because I don't have a Duke, this Hawk looks better than the Comic Pack one, and I want Grunt (gotta gets me them Original 13!).

Also, Wave 7:

Beside the Viper, I don't really want any of them. Maybe the HISS Driver if he can fit into my HISS Tank Mark II...

I will most likely get the crimson guard troop builder set just because I love the crimson guards always have they're my 2nd favorite group after the dreadnoks.

id like the crimson guard pack if only i had a TRU near me .

There is always the on-line version of tru they will have them sooner or later. Another interesting note according to hasbro rep in the same issue I read the interview with the writers of transformers animated, Hasbro really didn't have an creative control over transformers movie and you saw the results of that, well with the GI Joe movie there are make sure that they some sort of creative control from day one and you saw it in the first pictures of snake eyes, as well larry hama being involved in the film they want someone who knows and has been with the GI Joe franchise since about the beginning to make the film something amazing that fans who have been there since the beginning and new comer will both love.

Grunt looks like he ate a messy cupcake.

Or he had the worst hangover of his entire life.

Little o' column A, little o' column B.

Or one two many spaghetti-o’s…

Or he got glue all over his face and then rub a cat.

I have already order snakes eyes v4 form wave seven and I'm going to keep my eyes open for spirt & freedom,cobra viper and maybe duke with jet pack and american flag. Most likely won't get the hiss driver because they will be releasing him along with the hiss at target in the next couple of months. I never really cared all that much for wild bill although depending on how he looks when I get a close up look at him I just might get him.

Actually, the single packed Hiss driver (Rip It) is not the one that is included with the Target exclusive Hiss. The driver included is simply a repainted Cobra Trooper with camoflage pattern pants, the one on the single card is the remake of the original Hiss driver, Rip It.

Now we know, and knowing is half the battle. Thanks for the heads-up, mate!

Yeah thanks for that warning I guess I will be getting the single card hiss driver to go with my hiss tank when it arrive at target.

I'm not sure why, but that phrase shows up a lot in this thread.

Well, that IS a GI Joe Public Sevice Announcement line, after all!

Heh heh! I figured as much, hence the 'smartass' smiley.
Man, my gears are ground. It seems like the only store in my area (southern Quebec) which carries GI Joe 25ths (not counting specialty stores) is Zellers, which totally sucks since Zellers doesn't restock at all. The 3 locations I've been to have NO Joes on the pegs and looks like they don't have any shelf space for them anymore.

Looks like I'll have to wait for the next wave...!

Oh man, sounds too much like Athens GA! This one local Wal-mart only restocks when I don’t have any cash!

Man, I HATE when that happens! Or when they restock on the ONE DAY you don't drop by the store, leaving you only the carrion the next day...

I've been pretty lucky so far in my area they restock is out on shelves by thursday at target and friday on shelves at tru.

There was just one dreadnoc comic book pack of Torch and Ripper at Toysrus the other day ,and I grabbed it immediately.

Nice find on the dreadnoks next you will need crimson guard commanders,ace and wild weasel, battle damaged snake eyes vs storm shadow, and scar-face cobra trooper and fred VII crimson guard to round out your collection.

well im pissed. i managed to find an airborne cobra trooper at a TRU (that was 1 hour out of my way to get to) and the card was dameaged, so i didnt get it.

Well I returned my Cobra Night Watch set only to be led on a wild goose chase that resulted in me filling a complaint against one TRU with their corporate office. Really nice people to deal with on that end especially when I mentioned that I will probably now have to pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $50-$100 for the set now. The kicker is that the extra weapons I was missing are nothing more than the standard Cobra trooper rifles. Not even the AK-47's that I thought they were supposed to come with. I'll keep ya posted on what happens.
