There's enough figures I want from the subline that I'd have no problem getting enough stickers for him, but having to have the one from the 2-pack...well, I don't want the damn 2-pack.

Oh, and that it looks like it might be a US only offer.

#18 | | Hunter Join Date: Aug 2009 Posts: 130 Location: East Coast Collection Count: 275+ | I'm still kinda up in the air on ravage. Hasbro played a smart game by putting the pamphlet in the one and only N.E.S.T. pack that didn't interest me at all . Still I might go for it if for no other reason than the novelty of an American mail away that has chrome. I can probably just give the Bumblebee away to a neighbor kid or something. (Tis the season I guess  .)
I will tell you all something though. Even if you aren't all that interested in the Ravage you might want to get him anyway because I have no doubt that Hasbros "Bean-Counters" will be seeing just how well this offer goes over. If it does well then we can expect more mail away in the future. (G.I. Joe is testing this again right now too so it's not just us.) However, if they have Ravages lying around the warehouse for to long then we most likely wont see any more mail aways.
If I had my druthers I would want the next mail figure to be a repaint of movie 1 Arcee (into a non-Arcee character). Preferably Roulette since Wheelie is getting the Shadow Striker treatment. (Keep the sisters together ^_^.)

Really? Really?!?
Just be glad it's a deluxe repaint and not, like, a "battle-damaged" repaint of a Legends mold!
I WILL say, however, that it would have been nice to see a repaint that was actually a new character, versus a variation of a character that already exists. It's always nice to increase the character roster. But at the very least, this sets a precedent for more mail-away figures to come. | Quote:

It's not like they had to pay R&D costs for Reflector or the Omnibots.
