Wow that sucks I hope things turn out all right for you as far as the whole troop building thing goes. We haven't got them around here yet but that not to say we won't in next couple of weeks. I can't wait to get the crimson guard troop building set.

I saw several Ace and Wild Weasel ,that version of battle damaged Snakeeyes with Storm Shadow and Red Crimson guard with Scar face cobra trooper the other day. Might get them if I ever see either one. They sell quite well. Just a minor thing though. Ace doesn't look like in the show. Ace's helmet looks more like an astronaut helmet than a fighter plane pilot helmet. It's lacking that black thing below his helmet which he breaths air from. I'm looking foward to the Crimson twins. Haven't found it yet. Love to get the three packs of Hawk, Stalker and Double Clutch, Fred with Cobra Comander armor,Zartan ,and Zarana, Serpentor, Scrap Iron, and Firefly. Several others like Flint, lady Jaye, Scarlett, Rock n' Roll, SnowJob, Destro, Baroness, MajorBlood. If I'm lucky to see any of those. I'm pacing myself too.

I was wondering if anyone had been able to find the crimson guard troop building set at tru yet and if so is it worth picking up.

I don't think the 3 figure sets will be out until next month. Funny thing about Ace is that the original that came with the Sky Striker looks like the figure in the comic set. I'm kinda pissed that Wild Weasel comes with a gun and Ace comes with... nothing. Just shoot him already.

Just give ace one of the multiply extra guns that come with any number of GI Joe figure packs but I have him holding his helmet like he is head for his sky striker.

I wonder if towards the end of the run for old times sake they'll release a accessories pack. That would be fun to see.

Funny thing is when it was released with Roadblock he was given one larger hand so he could hold the gun properly. The trooper with the gun in the Night Watch pack didn't have that hand set.

I look at this way there is always the regular guns I guess but it still neat to have a heavy machine gun anyway. I don't own roadblock yet I plan to get at least one of the upcoming version of him either single pack figure or the one included with one of the five battle packs.

Well I was able to find a MISB Cobra Night watch set in the TRU that told me that they were sold out and discontinued. I still haven't heard back from their customer service line but I called them over the week end and was told that I would be contacted during the week.

Found the Joe and Cobra Command 3-packs at TRU here. NO CG set though, so I passed for now.

Got Ace and Wild Weasel today. There was only one left. Snatch it up. They sell quite well. There were several duke with playdoll commander packs, several Scarlett and General Hawk packs, and a few Crimson guards with Scar face trooper along with one Roadblock singles. Wild Weasel looks great. But Ace looks more like Troy Aikman than he does Ace. Ace in the cartoon had jetblack hair and blue eyes. Not brown hair and brown eyes. I'm not too impressed with his suit or astronaut helmet much either. But he's welcomed anyway.

Ace is supposed to look more like his original figure, I think. Maybe that's why they chose those colours. Then again, I could be wrong.

Well today was a banner day as far things I wanted go got the nightwatch cobra trooper pack love the heavy machine gun if I were going to use it I would have one of the troopers in a prone position since that how those weapons are used. Also love that the set comes with a shotgun finally a shotgun just what ever cobra trooper needs. Also picked scarlet and hawk two pack wish it wasn't the first version of hawk but but v2 of hawk the with camo fatigues and bomber jacket like he appears in the cartoon. Also picked up one of the many version of the ghost in shell stand alone complex soundtrack so today was one of those amazing days.

I have the Nightwatch and they are awesome! I passed on the SE set until some sort of sale comes up, or I can use some of the coupons I've been hording. The SE set is nothing super special, except another Timber recolor, SE with green pants, and an RN commander type (painted a little different than the others).
