I got the 7-pack from Big Bad Toy Store for $30, tacked onto an existing order for $1 more shipping. Getting a decent Major Bludd was a nice part of the pack, since the single card release was disliked, and I'm not buying the DVD set with the cartoon version.

This is rare. It's 7 figures, all of which I can use. The only duplicate is the Crimson Guard, which you get two of. Both use the comic pack body, so at least you can leave the helmet off one of them.

Bludd is decent, though the mechanical arm is lame no matetr what. No elbow joint combined with a permanent lean outward makes the thing useless. I also severely doubt that the rockets meet ANY US safety requirements whatsoever- given that Hasbro shortened Optimus Prime smoke stacks due to such laws(though I suspect it was less "safety laws" and more "save money on plastic"). The things are small enough to swallow and very sharp, being small spikes. I popped Bludd's head off to remove the scarf and gave it to a CG.

I like the 5 Cobra soldiers, all quite different. The only black guy on the Cobra team is also available n this set. A real standout for an organization that forces members into plastic surgery so people will all look alike. And the Cobra Officer's got a nice little backpack which opens up and drops out all kinds of tiny things, including a flashlight for those Doom 3 moments.
