I filled in a few of the stuff from the list that were obvious, but some I didn't know.

I'm wondering what Omega Force is as 3 figures from the listing bear that name and what the Single Serpent is. If the article is true then it confirms some of the comic two packs that have been on rumored to be coming out.

I went to Kmart yesterday ,and found two Cobra vipers. Got one and for $5.99. It's the only wave 7 I've seen so far.

Does the Cobra Commander that recently came out with the crystal element have anything to do with the first set? I've noticed the container he has is the same one as on the machine and the red crystal stuff inside looks like the stuff on the cart the cobra trooper has.
I never saw the episodes the sets are based off of so I don't know.

I think omega force is some sort of marvel comic off shoot. Not a 100% sure on that.

I just found out there is a new G.I. Joe cartoon in the works. They are doing a pilot which will be released on the internet first according to Grey Delisle, who will be voicing Scarlett.
Here is the article I read.

and a link to Newsarama which has an interview with the voice actress from the Hisstank.com article.

Already knew about this there planning to have the show start after the movie comes out next summer. There supposed to have it on cartoon network adult swim so it can be more adult oriented.

Wal-Mart finally got new G.I. Joes in, unfortunately I was a few hours too late. I was only able to score Duke with Jetpack and flag, Viper, and Wild Bill. They also had Snake Eyes with Butterfly Knives but I passed him up for now, I'll have to wait till Friday to pick him up, hopefully by then they will have more Vipers, Spirit, and the H.I.S.S. Driver as well.
I hate the goggles on the Viper, hopefully in later releases it won't fall off so easily. I didn't even touch it and it fell off. Does anyone have a picture of the back of the Viper's head so I can make sure I put it back on right?
I really like the Duke figure. I just need to figure out how to pose him with his flag and all the other Joes where the flag would block the faces of the joes it's infront of.
Would anyone recommend the Snake Eyes with the Butterfly knives?

Yes, but they aren't butterfly knives that I am aware of. Just big, sweet knives. Butterfly knives are the ones that have the latch and you flip the handle open and swing them to reveal the blade.

Oh, alright. I thought I read somewhere someone calling them butterfly knives. Thanks for the correction or I would have gone on making a fool of myself.

Not saying you made a fool of yourself. I'm sure I have heard them called that too, I'm no knife expert, but I remember butterfly knives as something totally different.

Has anyone gotten the Doc figure yet? I'm kinda worried since Hasbro hasn't cashed my check that it might be lost somewhere in the mail.

I know JTKranix on the Michigander's thread did get his.

I'm still waiting for mine to show I'm in the mail, hopefully it'll be at the post office Tuesday after the holiday as I think it's been 4 weeks since I mailed in the form and money order.

Nothing yet on the doc front for me either but I'm not expecting anything till the begining of june just because it says that it can take 6-8 weeks from receipt of redemption request who knows how long it will take to arrive in the regular mail because I live in washington state and there is no map that shows how long it would take for something to travel from here Azle,TX then they have to process the request and who can say how many request they have gotten so far plus if you read the fine print it says:

1. this offer is good for a limited time only and while supplies last.

I think it's sad that I have to ask this but do you think they will send a persons check back, or give them some sort of notification if they run out?

I am almost sure they will do something.

It kind of sad really that they only have a limited amount and we don't even know how many there are and who can say how many collectors and kids have sent in request for the figure up to this point since this has been going on since the start of the year.

I only sent in for one, but my man got 12 (or was it 6), I think he said (Using Battle Points).

Wow so there is no limit on the amount of them you can order so in other words were playing russian roulette when we send in our order form.

I'd like to think that Hasbro would take into account the scalpers and such who would order several figures at a clip. I've only sent in for one but I'm working on a second form to possibly get another.

Yeah, I am the same way. I was wondering just how many I would need. I think two max, but 3 for good count. But more than that...Nope?

The sad thing is I went up on e-bay and buy-now price ranges between $125-$249 for one figure because people are guessing that they will be that rare much like convention exclusive figures.

I think that people who buy it for that price simply have money to burn. I don't know that they will have a problem filling orders. They didn't have problems filling the removable hood StShadow, or the Agent Faces Crimson Guard (that I remember).

I would say that people assuming that there are not enough for all are seriously underestimating HASBRO.

Who can say what will happen we will just have to way and see. By the way has anyone seen the convention box set for this year. I was wondering which off shoot off of g.i. joe this based on.
