Hey XOC-

General Joes showed a black box labeled G.I. Joe on it... does it come in that box or is it in that box in a normal brown box? Jus wondering...

Renegades 4-pack came in a white box with gray lettering, SE and SS on the front. The interior box I have a picture of.













I haven't totally disassembled everything yet, so you'll have to wait for more pictures.

The black box is likely the Retaliation outer packing.

yea it said Retaliation on it however they also showed a box with RoadRock on it similar to the Renegades Box that you posted... so I was confused with the black box lol

To separate SS from the "Ninja Vipers', I'm putting the hooded Renegades(non-emo) head on him with Ver1 Ren SS's gear and hands.

Nice try, XOC, but I'm still calling this set crap. I don't believe that whole MU hip/thigh design is unacceptable.

Hey, I'm not gonna try and make anyone see it my way. It's not for everyone, and it's certainly not the greatest set in the world. Ball-hips alone make it not everyone's cup of tea. If you wanna call it crap, call it crap. ;) My feelings won't be hurt.

Also, Eddie. 10 bucks shipped and my second 4-pack SS is yours.

For any slackers like me who missed it the first time, the Renegades set is back up on Amazon.

what are the joints on the ninjas like again? It almost looks like that crappy style Hasbro used for Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America.

There's nothing in either of those sets that I remotely want that I can't get at retail in a few weeks. When does the main line actually hit retail?

To "justify" my purchase, I got the set for the file cards, Black CC and stands. I will prolly give/trade off the roadblock since he will be used for alot of customs and I don't plan on buying SE or SS at retail, so they are bonus figs I guess lol

I'm sure they will hit before that except at wallyworld

What annoys me the most is my Target never got past the Renegades Cobra Commander wave. All they have right now is 2 CC & 1 Firefly. At $10.99 a piece they won't be going anywhere. That is $1 less than Walgreens! :wtf:
Walmart isn't any better at all. They are keeping their price at $6.97 for now. Only 2 Renegades CC there.
Toys R Us & Walgreens are the only ones to stock past that Renegades wave here.

My Walmart CAN'T restock the pegs because central distribution hasn't sent them anything. I fully expect the next time I walk into Wally and they have new Joes they'll be movie ones. Still, 2 Renegades wave 2 cases this close to a movie line isn't bad.

I got my 4 pack today. So far I've only opened it and played with RoadRock... not really impressed so far. I think i'll start a new thread for it. Not an official review, just quick thoughts and opinions

Some asinine insistence that because he does some dumb ass gym/battle/gun kata in the movie that it just HAS TO BE REFLECTED BY THE FIGURE!

Bet he doesn't use some giant dildo missile in the movie.

Umm, he comes with a gym kata hand, so he is. He may not have his ninjafag tattoo, but that doesn't change the fact he's gimped by the gimmick.
