Personally, this wave’s got it all over the other. That’s mainly because I never got a Blowtorch, admittedly; I can see being annoyed if you’ve got what’s essentially the same figure already sitting on your shelf.

But Blowtorch, Hawk, and especially the Steel Brigade make this for me. The Trooper is a nice update, and Cobra Commander is going to make a really great, if slim, Miles Mayhem to display next to Trakker.

Now I am glad I ordered a whole case of this wave, not a dud in it.

Cobra Trooper looks great (the sum of all parts), CC has those dapper suit trousers and shoes, another BAT is never a bad thing and Blowtorch… Porkchop-sandwiches!

Hawk and the Steelbrigade trooper look fantastic, maybe the highlights of the wave.

The only one I am getting is Steel Brigade. The rest are blah. Total crap wave of stuff we didn’t get in 25th.

Buy less toys, you’ll be more happy.

Can’t say I like Cobra Commander much, especially don’t like cloth cape.

I’ll say this, go out and grab that Blowtorch and keep one MOC, he’s gonna be rare as they are changing him to the green version.

Man, that Cobra Soldier is starting to look so good. I already have so freakin many of all the 25th versions…..but maybe just a dozen or so…… hate how Hasbro can get me to basically buy the exact same figure over and over again.

Biggest disapointment is the Steel Brigade. But only beccause after seeing the images of the Steel Brigade Delta that comes with the 30th VAMP Mk II makes this one look like crap in comparsion. On the other hand the Delta version fits so perfectly with te new Hawk I would of been army building that one as well. So actually, thanks Hasbro :)

Nothing else has got me down, at all. I just think because I am farther away from this stuff now, I see how other people view it.

I just think it’s lame we got this figures in 25th and the collector mentality(specifically planned obsolescence) has made collectors buy the same figure over and over again.

I said the steel brigade figure was nice and am gonna purchase the croc master variant. But selling off so much stuff has definitely changed how I viewed the collector community at large.

And I am always moody…always.

By posting in the comments section of a Joe website or on a Joe forum you’re making this a part of your life, in my opinion. And the sign of a good community is caring about what others think, and by extension caring about others. But if you don’t want people involved in what you’re doing than just be a lurker.

@Hawkwinter

I appreciate that you reached out to Twink, and that’s what I think it was…genuine empathy. I think we actually need more of that in general. As for Twink, why do you wanna slap Hawkwinter in the face for it? You’re a pretty outspoken poster, offering up a LOT about your personality in your posts. And when someone reacts, you want them to keep to themselves? If you feel that way, then maybe try taking your own advice… “Mind your business and collect your toys” Or don’t collect them. That’s, of course, OK too. And I’m not saying “get lost”, but rather enjoy the community for the community that it is.

Peace.

Seems like it’ll be similar to the black HISS running change. We’ll see it when we see it, I imagine.

twinkviper is obviously a troll. ignore his ridiculous ass. as for wave 5, there are some definite winners, but I can’t help feeling manipulated by slightly different figures. the old hasbro system of the 80′s was flawed, but at least we got new figures every year. The BAT is very cool and a simple thing like a bandolier really madea difference.
