Chuckles! Finally! But uh ... his shirt is plain. And gloves? Really? I am going to need two of him to fix up one.

His shirt has the Hawaii print on it, it is just not as bright as the original.

Hopefully the Alley-Vipers will be repainted into the dark blue paint scheme that they had a few years ago. I never liked the silly bright orange.

Well Chuckle's shirt isn't quite the same. They went for a darker blue and palm tree leaves all over it. I like it better that the original.

Well, at least I know my monitor's not messed up. I was thinking, "That CAN'T be ligjht blue..."

I assume "Altitude" is due to the screwed up movie "Ripcord".

Okay, I hadn't thought about that. I sort of wondered how a fairly obscure name like "Altitude" had gotten in there.

I am hoping army builders out there will set aside a few Mindbenders on the cheap for me.
I have interest in Army building anymore but that Dr body has many nice possibilities (doesn't look like a rehash of GUng Ho's bare torso)

Some of you guys may not like a character or two but you have to admit this is the best multi-pack Hasbro has put out hands-down. All new characters, many from the later years, and lots of nice army builders. While it while be a little sad to not get these on-card, it will be really great to get these all in one shot.

As for the Chuckles shirt, this is what I wish the GI Joe club had done for the 2 pack a few years ago. Then the Chuckles they made wouldn't have looked so similar to the original. I don't mind the look of this new on though.

I can't wait to see the figures w/ all their accessories. I hope Alley Viper has his V1 shield and visor!

incredible! out of all the movie garbage and the disappointing PIT, these 7-packs are insanely cool! I can't wait for shots of these guys with their accessories. I'm kinda sorry not to have a Recondo on card but I'll take him any way I can get him!

I guess these are the last classics we'll see until after the movie right? Pity, I was hoping to complete my class of '85 with Airtight and Footloose.

I have to agree on the enjoyment of the 7-packs. Just as I thought about getting out of the current marketplace (the movie seemed like a good break), they come out with this.

I guess the one boxed/one opened scenario will continue.

Ugh. Of course the Cobra set is mostly army builders. Means I have to get at least 5 of them so I have nice squads of each trooper. They sure know how to get us don't they?

The Joe pack isn't bad though I hate that we have to buy the pack to complete the O13. Still at least they are releasing Zap so I'm not complaining too much. The others in the set are nice and I'll be glad to have them.

Remember to send your extra mindbenders to Sputnik.

So he'll shut the hell up with his boohoo no Bender :cry:

I love these packs. Some of them I'll have to get used to (lamprey in SJ body) etc... but very great ideas here.

Or you could just paint a Torpedo body silver and do a simple head swap. :shifty:

No. The price of oil went down. They aren't having to ship these figures to stores. Heck, they can even skip on packaging. $79.99 apiece.

HOLY S&^% 7 packs!
