Some news from Joecon.
People asked about the ComicCon exclusive reveal as well, and the Hasbro guys did speak on that a bit. They said the set would be large and would “fill a hole” that has been created by some of the previous sets. John also said we might be surprised by the number of 3 3/4″ figures included in the set. From conversation it sounded like they wouldn’t be doing a single-pack carded exclusive this year

Anyone planning on picking up the Eaglehawk? never had a Tomahawk, so this is a definite buy for me.
I see scalpers getting alot for them on Ebay, but with Target planning to carry them at 39.99 I don't see these being hard to get.
Nice side by side photos, very true to the original with nice styling updates:

The original came out close to the time I stopped collecting Joes and it was always something I wanted. I still have my HQ, but I'd love an updated version that paid homage to the original like this does.

Definitely. The best part about the 25th ine was always the revised vehicles.
If you haven't checked this out, give it a listen. You can hear me make multiple factual errors and say "you know" literally dozens of times!

I just saw this over on USA Today 
dunno). I don't really like the Transformers crossovers with Joe, but the Jetfire Skystriker is pretty awesome looking!
SDCC Exclusive:

Ww.. Nice job hasbro. That really fills a hole in my collection like you said at joe con.
yup, snake eyes with green pants. Everyone was screaming for that one. And bludgeon ? Man people have been begging for that. Another (admittedly cool looking) baroness. Yup, we needed that.
And a redecoed vamp and another sky strike that looks like a varatech this time.
Mn, you sure delivered on your primes of filling holes in people's collections with this years sdcc joe offering. And just like you said. More figures than ever before. 3?! Holy crap that's, like, one LESS than last year!
Wait a second.....
Is it a cool exclusive? Yes.
Is it anything at all like what hasbro said it would be?
Nope.
Unless there is another sdcc ex yet to be shown.

Does anyone know why Hasbro is abandoning the Cross Over exclusives after this year? They have been a solid seller and relatively easy additions considering they're just repainting their old molds? I was hoping we would see Prime and Megatron before it was all over. Hasbro does appear to have trouble keeping a good thing going and it can really frustrate me sometimes. Anyone know the whole story?
Hasbro are idiotic at times...filling the holes in our collection would be figures like Cobra La remainders Gobulus/Pythona (which was rumored) and figures like Raptor,Fast Draw,Crystal Ball etc and the Joe Con boxed set figures like Muskrat and Psyche-out in their "classic" colors (where they belong)
their Joe exclusive sucks this year....only thing I'm interested in is their black series 6" Fett

The Skystriker is pretty sharp, but I'd probably stick Rick Hunter in it.

This is true. The old Matchbox guys look like cheap mexican knock-offs.

You're insulting the actual Mexican knock offs with that comment.

You might be right. Both The Corps, and Bronze Bombers put those figures to shame.
