That looks slick!
I agree btw
I'd guess she goes with the exclusive vehicle. People are talking Night Boomer so that's a possibilty.
Your Max looks a million times better than the clubs. I can plainly see that the sculpt and the paint job are better than the clubs.
Bad ass paint job Mswi!

I have a new speculation on that!
It's been said the voice actors for Lady Jaye & Flint will be the VIPs.
Therefore that sketch is Lady Jaye! http://generalsjoes.com/wp-content/gallery/generalsjoes-survey-30th-anniversary/14_Lady_Jaye.jpg
Which could work in a 2 pack with...
http://generalsjoes.com/wp-content/gallery/generalsjoes-survey-30th-anniversary/08_Flint.jpg
The 3 pack will be Lightfoot, Sneek Peak, & Crazylegs!
Night Boomer is still possible for vehicle. Small vehicle is the SHARC.
Why would they make a night force SHARC as a con exclusive? You can buy a vintage one for $5 on ebay... with the glow-in-the-dark stickers!
I'm not going to lie... if they make a definitive Flint & Lady Jaye two-pack as a con attendee exclusive, I will #$%@ lose it.
I don't care that they make neon lightfoot or gay parade spearhead. But I will toss up my hands and start collecting f#%@!* stamps if they make a nice Flint and LJ that nobody can buy without flying cross-country to hang out with HT Mods and Jettits.

If that's the two pack I'll be p!ssed as hell!...making such popular deco unobscure characters exclusive p!sses me off bad...especially sculpts that could be useful in multiples...
EDIT: or what nacho said...uncool Hasbro/GIJCC, uncool (if in fact that's what you do)
They will do it but they will have "Night Force" colors.
The regular versions will be in FSS 2.0!
Really $5 NF SHARCs on ebay?! complete? Nope this is just the instructions....

The sensible thing would be to make Lightfoot and Sneak Peek the 2-pack with limited to no new tooling (let's face it, new heads won't help much here, and besides retooled helmets and gear, those guys suck anyways and won't get new molds for webgear), with Crazylegs as the parachute drop figure, and a 3-pack of H.E.A.T.-Vipers with new tooling.
Now, considering how they're putting Dragonsky and Big Bear in the FSS2 instead of giving them as the 2-pack last year which would've been sensible seeing as how the "original" Oktober Guard could've been completed then, and NF Falcon's already going to be in it too, I could see them doing some oddball characters and putting those other guys in a later FSS.
Also, I see them obviously putting the pilot as the "driver" for an aircraft, but I guess the giveaway could be a figure? Who knows.

Plus there were several other Night Force figs made in a different paint scheme.

I always loved the robot and helmet from Lightfoot when I was a kid...

Yeah, there are several of the OG that came later as "replacement OGs" but I was referring to the "original" Oktober Guard members. I count Wong before I do Dragonsky or Big Bear, but Dragonsky is frequently pictured with the original lineup. I'm just hoping that since he's separate as part of the FSS, at least he'll have some new parts, or at least more than if he were part of the Con set.
As for the Night Force team, I'd hope they'd stick to doing the original guys first, then branch out to the other repaints down the road.
Ugh, I hope this doesn't mean that next year's set will be the Tiger Force team... I wish they'd get those out of the way sooner than later, because you know we'll see the Club finish them off, but damn if I don't want to see them before almost any other thing they could produce.
I'm okay with this, so long as we get the "regular deco" versions first. That's what blows about this NF set... I actually think I prefer Repeater and Psyche-Out's NF decos, but want the other Joes in their original v1 colors. (I'd take Repeater in the original too, but Psyche-Out looks like ass in his v1 colors.)
We could get regular decos second for all I care, so long as they aren't exclusive and an expensive PITA to get, I'm fine with it...
Just got the biggest surprise of my life tonight...(well second biggest next to the wife letting me have butt sex with her, thats for you Eddie!!!). I am taking my boys to JoeCon this year. She saw me looking at the club website and asked if the registration was up, I said no and she told me to keep watching so we can register for the Attending package. She said she has been saving up since last year when we couldnt afford to register for the Homefront Hero package. I am really hoping to meet some of you there and introduce my 2 boys to everyone.
Its only a 5 hour drive, I havent told my boys yet and I am not going to tell them where we are going until we are in the car on our way!!!!

Sweet! Congrats.
I'm still on the fence as to whether I'll go or not. I'll likely get the Homefront set, at the very least, if there are any left after attending packages sell... The set's not as great as I was hoping, and nobody else on here who I know well enough to room with seems to want to go (no offense to any of the newer guys who I chat with less... I mean guys who I've known for awhile like Eddie, NSA, Fogger, Monkeywrench, etc.) but if I go, I think I'll be the only one from the site's admin/mods who is there to "officially" represent the site. I can't say we've had actual coverage for the last few years.
I'm more likely to go to Comic-Con again in lieu of JoeCon, but I'm just waiting on my SDCC press pass approval, which hopefully will hit my inbox any day now...

Aww shucks...thats an appropriate response right?
Of course!
Gung Ho, that's awesome! The butt sex part, not the con thing

Thanks, she has been like my best friend with the whole collecting stuff. Now if I can find a babysitter at the con I may try for the hat trick and try to get some funky butt love in Indy!!!!
I'm pretty sure any one of the guys at the con would be willing to assist a fellow fan in need and watch your boys for you while you stuff yer junk in her trunk ...watch out for guys in big windowless vans though...
