I want that Destro. A lot. Other than that, not much else. Not that they're bad figures and vehicles, I just don't have room or need for them. The gray and red trooper is kinda cool, too.

to me it is a set full of win!

Shortfuse
a replacement stalker
Hiss Driver
Vehicle Gunner
trouble Bubble
Steeler for fodder
CC to use for target practice

Destro does look pretty badass in the classic color scheme on the IG Destro body. He may become my default Destro.

Steeler and Stalker are not necessary but cool. Glad that Stalker is coming with the JUMP with the arm control this time.

MOBAT. Never had one of these as a kid. Not really a tank person myself but it will make for a nice display piece to put the Original 13 around. Will it be motorized though? I forget.

HISS Driver and Crimson HISS will go nicely with my Target blue HISS and standard black HISS tanks. I wonder if this HISS Driver is a darker red than the single carded version.

Red and Gray Trooper... he'll go in the Crimson HISS as the gunner I guess. Unless I get the urge to customize a few more to go with him.

Cobra Commander and personal Flight Pod. This is the one thing that I remember Seth Green asking the Hasbro guys about at SDCC and getting giddy over (before he saw Matt Tracker). And I have to agree. Serpentor has his snake chariot and CC deserves a personal ride too. The blue Flight Pod looks pretty cool and will display nicely with the standard ones I'm accumulating.

Short Fuze. We're so close to completing the original 13 yet I feel we're going to miss out on Zap before the movie line hits. Anyway, Short Fuze here looks good. Not perfect but he'll fit in nicely with the others.

All in all, for $50 this is a great set. I definitely won't be army-building any of the figures or vehicles (though that HISS Driver is pretty sweet in the darker red). But I'll be getting one of these sets for sure.

It looks like a neat set. I'll attempt to get it.Probably only 1. No mint in package set, just 1 to open. I wouldn't mind more since the trooper and HISS driver would be nice to have 2 or more of. 2 HISS drivers and 3 troopers would be nice. The set makes it too expensive to do that however.

pass, another filler product that adds nothing new, well, ok shortfuse, I guess, is new.

Hasbro has really lost interest at this point, lol.

I'm fine with that, the B.A.T. was awesome.

I don't care enough about he O13 to realy care about Shortfuse or Steeler.... I love the blue Pod and the Stalker... Destro does look neat.

This set just isn't a must have for me.. especially since I'm trying to ween off vehicles.

It will be motorized. Overall I'm pretty excited for the set, though getting Short Fuze is the main reason I'm Getting it, back in March 1982 he was one of the first two 3 3/4" GI Joes I ever bought (Snake eyes was the other, natch).

Short Fuze and Steeler are the only things I'm even interested in that set. Maybe I'd keep the blue trouble bubble but the rest is a big pass from me. I'm a little worried at this point that these might "peg warm" on the shelves and convince Hasbro and retailers that there isn't enough interest in big ticket items.

Chalk full of pass for me, what the hell do i need with another red hiss and a mobat ?

The blue TB is cool, but it's full of reissues with a new character, it's good to see the mobat and red hiss, but i got enough vehiceles of the same kind, why didn't they give us a Stinger jeep or a Vamp II or something else in the way of smaller vehiceles.

Is it me or is Short Fuse's head a reuse of Doc's head?

If so then its another group of repaints. Probably pick one up for the Short Fuse and give the rest to the oldest to play with...

If it's anything like recent Target exclusives, this will be painfully difficult for me to get. Getting the complaining out of the way, it's a really cool set. Especially for a kid who doesn't have a big collection as a gift or something.

I don't have a red HISS, so that would be neat to get for me. The Trouble Bubble is cool in that color scheme. I have the past two MOBATs they've made, so I don't really care for that. The HISS Driver (one of my favorite 25th figures) looks even cooler with the silver, the Gunner is amazing looking. The Destro is very cool as well. The CC is a big pass for me. It's the same figure that's been released five times already. Short Fuze looks pretty cool. I prefer the vehicle pack Steeler, though. And I like the DVD Stalker more than this one. Four out of the seven figures are really rad, and one is alright (Steeler) and two of the three vehicles are cool. That's a win.

Yes it is. I'm just annoyed that we don't get Short Fuse's original webgear.
I'm getting one set & probably will part out the things I don't want.
Destro is supposedly repainted like Red Jackal... http://www.yojoe.com/action/int/redjackal.shtml
Keeping Destro & HISS, Short Fuse (obviously), Steeler & MOBAT(most likely will repaint them into the Action Force versions)
J_Man if you want my trooper & HISS Driver let me know in November. ;-) Someone already has dibs on my Flight Pod. So that leaves Stalker minus jetpack & Cobra Commander.
Hasbro why not just add :cobracommander: to every G.I. Joe product then. :roll:

Not bad but as is becoming normal with the 25th line, it falls just short of perfect. Another CC - yeah!!! Rainbow Cobra Troopers to go woth the rainbow Vipers we've gotten over the years. Yet another HISS.

Short-fuse is a joke. The fact that he has not come out on a single card yet is rediculous. The original 13 should have been released by now in their original format. His body is the same bad mishmash of parts used on Steeler and Clutch from the vehicle packs. The shins do not match up with the thighs at all (just look at them from the side) and aren't even the same color green. The webgear is completely wrong, and that means Zap with have the wrong gear, too. Probably doesn't even have a visor or his own backpack.

Stalker and Destro are nice looking. He will be Red Jackal for me. The blue TB is okay as well.

I'll ask Santa for this, but don't see myself plunking down 50 bucks for it.

This one's a must-have for Short-Fuze, but the rest is just extra. Seven figures on their own would cost the same amount, so it's really a great value. The MOBAT will join my army of same. This will make my sixth Crimson HISS as well. A desert uni for Steeler is kinda cool.

It's a cool enough set i suppose. They could have called Friedstadt Short-Change just as well, since he's not getting an individual release or a solid approximation of his original webgear. Last time they made him he looked like Stewart Copeland. This time it's Adam Clayton!
