    Must get 5. One for each head, two for the TBs to be used by other troops.

    HOLY CRAP ON A JOE STICK! These reveals are amazing! I just FedEx’ed my credit card to Emily with a note saying just put all this stuff on my tab. I am floored. Snow Job, Scrap Iron, Tele-Viper, and Steel Brigade all in one day. Best toy line in production right now. Hands down. Joe team did a major mic drop on a Star Wars and Transformers reveal week. :cool:

    I'm guessing 64.99$ on both the Televiper/Trouble Bubble and the Steel Brigade sets.....

    Hopefully I'm wrong though, and both sets are cheaper.

    Speaking of which, it seems they cut the overlay lower to allow a bit of ab crunch to be retained. It's more evident with the Tele Viper.

    I have no need for a trouble bubble but MAYBE they'll put out a single carded release of tele-viper.
    I'd be ok if it were repainted to a darker blue.

    No. They’ve just been posting renders in Instagram throughout the day. There is supposed to be a stream sometime this month, though.

    Ah, okay. So was anything worthwhile shown off like Tunnel Rat or an announcement of General Hawk? Or was it just the Steel Bridgade, the Trouble Bubble dude, and Scrap Iron? All look cool, but nothign I need to own.

    We lose the bare arms on the Televiper, but in return we gain extra head options.

    That third head is a completely masked version? Not sure if we needed that one. I would have preferred swappable visors on the two black and white heads. A regular visor, a "COBRA!!" readout, an "OUCH!" readout, etc. Guess I'll just have to hope for stickers for those.

    Otherwise an excellent looking set. Hopefully another $46-$50 set like the RAM cycle or the Baroness Bike, but I've got a feeling prices across the board have all gone up since then.

    Well nice reveals but I'm still just happy to get Serpentor. Every time I see a new Classified reveal I can't help but think "Where's Cpt. Gridiron?"

    It was only the stuff posted in the past few pages that you listed. I have no idea how much more is going to be revealed…been crazy so far.

    Your shelves say “no” but your heart says “yes”.
