So the most are from the POC line. Wich was in 2010 or 2011 ?
Cool now is 2014 and we get them...again.

And yeah - for those who want the concepts...those should buy the 3 or 2 packs anyway. So it'll be overpriced "vaults" in any meaning. And now just imagine if they are overpriced thx to the reissues...how much they gonna be at the secondary market?
Thats a shame..really...50th anniversary...and such a cr*p decisions from Hasbro...thats freakin' sad...

Well, maybe JoeCon will show us something else, but that's a HUGE disappointment for me, not seeing that GH. He's amazing.

As for the momentary excitement of getting an updated Hawk instead of the exact same Hawk I got 3 years ago in POC, that's another disappointment. :rolleyes:

And why in fuck's name do they keep repainting figures with decent potential in that fucking red?! Alley-Viper in POC, now this Night-Viper. Why not a more tactical darker color, or hell, camo or something? RED?

The good thing is a lot of this will be a pass for me simply because it's literally the exact same shit I've owned for years now. Only the older troop-builders like the blueshirts will be getting bought by me. The rest are an easy pass.

I'm not unhappy for a second chance at a couple of figures that proved most difficult to find at retail originally, but it's a let down in the face of what we could/should get.

The NV being red just pisses me off.

Kind of feels like it. At least I got some MU and that SW chick to look forward to.

It's cool that were at least getting something. However you can tell this line was just thrown together.

Oh well. A good way for people to get there hands on that Lowlight. The NV design is strange to say the least. The 3 packs are definitely tops in my mind. And the non urban Flint looks good.

Typical Hasbro. Nice figure packed with a stupid fucking vehicle. Just like Steel Brigade Delta.

That HEAT Viper needs some neck protection. Really a shame they wasted a digital pattern on a robot. You really do not need to deck out an expendable android. Cobra just blowing more money!

I wonder, just wondering right now. If these are supposed to "grab our attention". As in show us product will be made and that they will be saving up the "big guns" for Joecon?


I'm really wanting that v2 Storm shadow.

Wishful thinking but not likely.

In reality these probably won't even be released until late in the 4th Qtr and half of them won't even make it out.

The whole line probably went something like this: "oh fuck, TF is in a few weeks and we have the 50th Anniversary this year and we haven't done dick. Grab some of those concept figs and we'll slap a few of the other figs we released 4 years ago and call it the 50th line".

Thx Monkeywrench.
And yes...you're right. In otherway we've got some cool vault figures. Sure they'll be available at evilbay as loose ones...but I had so much hope for the 50th line...I just can't take it so easily. =\

If we hit JoeCon and see nothing, then we're likely to not see anything. They've shown fuck-all at SDCC for the last 2-3 years. I'm betting they're holding back SOMETHING (not much, but hopefully at least a few things) for JoeCon reveals, since it's so close.

Not one thing we've seen today is new really, just redecos, rereleases, or vault stuff. That leaves a very iffy window of something (no idea what) new (aka "unseen" before) at JoeCon.

(And hopefully that fucking amazing Gung-Ho! Argh!)

I'm used to Hasbro punching us in the gut and spitting in our face :D

My TRU's are pretty decent around me so when the time comes if you need assistance getting the sets that you want, give me a shout.

7-packs would be killer, but I don't think we'll be seeing anymore 7-packs. Although, who knows? I just hope it's not silliness like those zombies or ninjas from the vault. As much as people talked, they do not have the appeal to sell well, and if I'm not mistaken, BBTS is STILL sitting on those Dreadnok/Marauders sets. (Which were decent sets, and vintage figures, which always sell better to online collectors.)

According to Shittank, what was shown was "all that's planned". And they're expecting a Fall release date. I'll be enjoying some of the things shown. But that's just disappointing.

It's obvious they produced too many Dreadnok packs. If they just curtail their numbers to a more realistic quantity, they shouldn't have an issue. But it's either 5,000 sets too many or 5,000 sets short.

Maybe gear it towards the cobra island packs. Cobra troops either as originals or repaints and joes with some troops but a couple vault figs like Hit&Run, Gung Ho, and SS v2.

LOL. That was my thoughts as well. The movie will probably have a sub name like the first 2. I blame Morelock for mentioning them and making me go there. I'm going to have to infract him now :p

Nope. Neither is Hawk or Blowtorch. Half this line they just repackaged crap that never moved.

Don'cha just love how clever they think they are..."here, let's force them to buy more figures they already have to get the one they don't have!" :whatever:

I saw that coming a mile away when I saw 2 and 3 packs were coming...

Hah, Deathlok. Now that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has made him relevant again.

That head sculpt looks very Red Skullish...

But man, that She-hulk is HAWT!...who's that guy that looks like the villain from one of the Toy Storys?

Wait! Who comes with that B.A.T.? is that Outback? Shipwreck? I can't tell :p

That's Arctic Outback, he's based off the Vault Shipwreck. :thumbsup:
