I hope I'm packaged cowering in the corner or something.

By the way, now Battle Packs only have four figures each. I've made lists several times but always at the other site. Maybe if I'm feeling creative (or bored) later I will add some here . . .

Joe Battlepack still have five. Another reason that line is better.

Joe Battlepack still have five. Another reason that line is better.

Better figures, better characters, better designs, and a better story to back it up: reasons the Star Wars line is better.

But I wonder how long they'll keep it up with the five figure packs? Has the Joe line gone up in price like SW or not? There's the lack of licensing fees to keep it slightly lower, but I don't check to see the differences, so I figured you'd know.

[anarky]

Basic figures have gone up by about $2-$3 in the past year, but the packs are heavy on repaints.

[jjreason]

Clone Attack on Utapau: Crab Droid deluxe figure, Utapau Clone x 2, Airborne Trooper & Obi Wan Kenobi (ROTS Pilot Obi Wan).

I never got the Crab Droid, and the Utapau clones are some of the few prequel troopers that I haven't wanted to sell yet.

(GI Joe) Swamp Attack!: Zartan with vintage-sized Swamp Skimmer (or whatever the hell his water bike was called), Dreadnok Ripper, Dreadnok Buzzer, Snake Eyes in Swamp camo repaint (because you CANNOT have a Joe ANYTHING without Snake Eyes), Recondo (and yes I realize he's a jungle trooper and not a swamp trooper, I'd just like to get him somehow).

[Rollo Tomassi]

Wasn't there a Joe Swamp Trooper? Named Muskrat or some stupid shit?

[anarky]

Recondo's been semi-confirmed in a Q&A anyway.

That's good news. As a kid I always wished his hat was removable and soft goods (so I could fold up the other side or fold down the folded side) - maybe this time they'll go at least part way to fulfilling my dream.

No R2 (dismantled) and/vs. R3?

[Senor JabbaJohnL]

Oh, yeah, that would be more interesting than more generic army builders.
