Really looking forward to the comic packs for Mainframe, Hard Master and the Scrap Iron. Shame their pack partners do nothing for me though.

Hardmaster will be my 1st 25th figure

Those comic packs are so cool!
The Hard master and SE pack is a must have.
Heck it even comes with a freakin' bokken!

Agreed, the 3 new figures are good, and while the other red-deuxs are good for what they are (use of existing figures with minor mods), they arent really needed on a mass production level. snake eyes as a student is neat, but do we really need one made?

if it keeps the line alive, cool i suppose.

Whoa, that Hard Master pack actually makes me want to pick up Ninja Ku Stormshadow! I may pass on the Beachhead/Mainframe pack, as I'm content with the first BH, and that Mainframe is kind of blah. Scrap Iron is a definite buyer for me, and that Wild Bill helmet is just added coolness. I'll probably pick up the AWE, just to have one in that color. The Leather Neck actually doesn't bother me like it does others. The CLAW/ FANG pack is a pain. I really want that CLAW, but I can do without the FANG or the figures. Seriously, that Viper has the worst color scheme in all Viper-dom.

"Dataframe"/Mainframe's floppy disks are kind of a cool accessory. Trouble is, floppy disks are pretty dated themselves. But a USB thumb drive would be way too small to include. I'm glad to see Beachhead's alternate head is included in the package and will not be another variant pack. The "Dataframe" body looks like it'll end up being used for Recondo eventually. Out of all of it, I really like Hard Master's sword stand!

Wow, that Wild Bill really sucks. So does Fang Viper. Yeesh.

I dig the new Beachhead even more, and I like Mainframe and Scrap Iron and Claw Viper. I just wish that Leatherneck did not come with that dang Awe Striker.

And the Hard Master and SE do absolutely nothing for me. PASS

I bet those FANG/CLAW packs are going to be as hard to find as the new, wave 5 single pack BATS and Snow Serpents. I hope Hasbro packs 5 of them for every one Leatherneck/Awe Striker, per case.

I've tried to not think Lifeline when I see Hard Master, but I still think it's Lifeline everytime I see a thumbnail of that figure. Even though it isn't Lifeline, it's still a pretty cool lookin toy. That Beach Head can't possibly be better than the first version, but I'll pick it up because I really like that Mainframe.

What's with the scar on Scrap Iron? Did he always have a scar?

I've never had a Fang or CLAW, so I'm really excited about that set. The figures from that set aren't that great, but it's better than nothing. I want it for the vehicles anyways.

what's up with the hard master daggers pointing to his crotch?

does hasbro know girls get tattoos now with stuff like that or guns, etc. pointing down there?

I'm in the minority here but I'm actually looking forward to that Wild Bill. Yes I like his classic toy colours but since I was so glued to the Sunbow toons as a kid, I can relate to this colour scheme much more - the added pilot helmet is bonus! Scrap-Iron isn't too shabby either, we get to fill out our cobra hierarchy (only missing Mindbender now!) and I like the character! Will exchange this visor with the tinted ones from the Arctic-pack. (btw Scrap-Iron always had a scar on his old toy, they just coloured it in on this one)

Beachhead - bleh, Dataframe I'm so-so on, need to get the figure cuz he's new but really dont think this does him justice.

Hardmaster + Grey Snake Eyes = crapx2 but I do like the sword rack dio piece!

The vehicles are a pass all around for me. Leatherneck with Buzzer's torso is probably more of a crime than Major Bludd wearing Zartan's clothes.

Welph at least I'm saving my money for those sugary awesome wave 11 EELs!!!

Cool, hardmaster comes with a hole in his chest that you can stick the arrow in when he gets killed.

Interesting stuff, and I love the idea of the Fang and Claw pack, but not thrilled with the viper that comes with it.

I'm also disturbed by the fact that I am unhappy that something comes with a Viper...

I loved the fang, so I might be getting one or two of them. But what to do with my old ones...
