I got mine in amcorp mall top floor. Do not know what is the name of the shop but friendly attitude and good price.
I am not a hardcore collector, still on the fence on storm shadow. second wave might only get the jungle viper.

will wait for clearance to start my army building. not sure whether I could do that with firefly though as only one per case.

I love alley viper! one of my favourite toy as a kid.
red and black colour combination looks cooler than the iconic orange. tongue.gif
knowing that only one alley viper per case, chance of building an army out of it is quite slim.

here heavily armored alley viper fight alongside the Deviant.

this latest version of snake eyes, with the visor rolled up, looks just like another regular special ops guy.

well you may not build an army of Alley Vipers but you sure can build a squad of them.
since when did FF became a Joe? tongue.gif cool poses by the trio.

squad also not easy man!
though I read from hisstank forum, the revision cases it might not be short-packed anymore. hmm.gif
I am still dreaming of a 7-pack alley vipers. possible? tongue.gif

i was looking forward to it, but gave up the moment i saw the price was rm22x per set sad.gif

hmm.. i liked all the joes with the reactive impact armor from the ROC line.. black is cool biggrin.gif

a pity the line was so hard to find towards the end... couldn't find Rex, paraviper, helix, pit comando, artic threat SS, SE, CS SE and awhole lot of others...

but POC is way cooler than ROC, so cheers for the revival!  rclxm9.gif


Added on August 16, 2010, 10:38 am

agreed! wicked!!

I missed out on paraviper and pit commando as well. though I am confident at some point there will be a cooler colour combination repaint.
also dont really like blue camouflage on the ROC joes.

it is possible to get a squad of 5.revision case for wave 2 will include 1 AV.not sure bout revision wave 1 though.
for revision , our hope lies with TRU to bring em in.
fact is, most of the collectors' haul from the past week consist of 1 AV but they had to buy several other POC figs to be entitled to 1 AV.

i was fortunate to score 3 ROC Para Vipers.those 3 lead my team of 11 blue 25th Para Vipers.
Para vipers are cool, but not as cool as them Alley Vipers! it is the shield and the helmet! drool.gif

QUOTE(kerberos09 @ Aug 16 2010, 03:05 PM)
haha it's sum kinda wishlist of Joes figures la i guess... actually i was thinking of building a troop of AVs, but then the figs itself is hard to find. hopefully they can later provide us more of Shock Troopers je la~
*
an Alley Vipers troop builder set will sure sell! I wanted to start petition on all gijoe forums.
I hope atleast some Hasbro marketing people will take note. tongue.gif

QUOTE(darkshadow @ Aug 16 2010, 04:09 PM)
Everyone is hunting for more POC Alley Viper.It is understandable though.
One piece of good news is that for Wave 2 Jungle Viper ,it's packed at 2 per case so you guys should be able to build up your troops.
*
Jungle viper I will get just one. too weird for my taste to army build.

yes Shipwreck ,Breaker and Cover Girl, and also I just hate blue camouflage for some reason.
It just doesnt make sense to me, supposed to blend in with the sky or sea water?

Ice Viper, people either like it or hated it. tongue.gif
as for Destro, which version do you guys hated so much? the TRU 3 pack or single carded?
also the reason for hating it?

i agree that blue camo makes no sense.camo usage is generally meant for jungle and desert based missions.
maybe it makes sense for Shippy to wear blue camo but not the rest.heck,as if to lead by example, even Hawk sports that color.
as for Cover Girl, she is simply hideous.She looks like some neanthedral ape.  shakehead.gif
Baroness face is also horrendous but thank goodness ,her outfit makes up for that error in design.

I just dont have the feel for Ice Viper or any of the ROC Viper variations ,yet I ended up with lots of Neo Vipers due to purchasing the Rescue Mission ,5 Pack Cobra and Attack on Pit HQ.

as for Destro,I simply just cant accept the one from wave 1.the baggy outfit and the oversized holster does not do justice to the man.and the fact that two of his huge guns are attacheable via the holes on both sides of his hips.
same thing applies to the SRO 3 Pack version.
*
lol!! neanderthal ape! laugh.gif

Destro, not everyone hates it though. this blogger..a forummer here as well seems to like it a lot.

QUOTE
Comments:
1) i love his apparel, this suit he comes with does make him look a New World Dictator and that un-flip cover does provide him with a sudden coolness....

2) Improvement on the facial Sculpt as a i notice most of the single carded Destro has a slight lump on the side of its head, a some of the eyes paints are way off.

3) Overall the Best Destro i have seen! Hasbro did an awesome job with this guy!


http://thecobracollection.blogspot.com/200...-exclusive.html

I myself think the SRO version is not that bad. guess it all boils down to personal preference.
glad we agree on the stupid blue camo though! I would have gotten some, if in grey digital camo.But definitely not blue!

I am sure TRU will bring in, no?

saw lots of TRU exclusive quick kick and spirit. slow / not moving at all. hmm.gif
I have zero interest for quick kick, spirit camo pants is too bright for my liking. May consider if the price comes down a little though.

There'll be a running change to the Hiss tank, which will make it available in Black. Isetan Lot 10 has Hiss tank, Wolfhound, Ghosthawk, Doomcyle and Mechs at std price. At RM40, not surprised Quick Kick and Spirit not moving that much, if it was Snakeyes you can bet it will be cleared out by the scalpers.
*
when will that be available? the black HISS tank.
also it is quite expensive at RM109.90.

I think scalpers will more likely go for the Alley Vipers. still RM40 a pop is very expensive considering the same item is selling at almost half the price in US.

HISS tanks looks good no matter what color. red ones, blue ones, green ones, black ones, brown ones...they are all nice. They remind me of the Warhammer 40K Leman Russ tanks.

combination of red and black will look very cool!

blue will need to be the classic cobra blue.
green will be jungle warfare! tongue.gif

I will buy these:

Jungle viper

Cobra shock trooper

Destro
Low light
Shadow tracker

Snake Eyes maybe.

so that is another RM200 or RM240 to go.

Look at the picture, only $7.50 per figure, so cheap! biggrin.gif
