I got the regular Trouble Bubble and Tele Viper when it came back in stock. Since I had neither as a kid, it's fine with me. I'm skipping repaints but if others want them then great. I didn't collect a lot of the sub teams. Of the orginal line, I have four Night Force, several Iron Grenadiers and two Ninja Force.
Haha, it's true for some of us, though. My first year of figures were Grunt, Snake Eyes, Cobra soldier, Cobra Commander and the HISS Tank, and I was still really into GI Joe by the time Python Patrol and Tiger Force came around, but I had no interest in either because of the colours. It was neat to see characters rereleased in new colours, but what I REALLY wanted was for those figures to be rereleased in their regular style, because I didn't own most of them (and had originally never found them in stores). That said, I love this flight pod. Just wish it had the Cobra logo instead of the Python Patrol logo, but that's a minor nitpick. I love the yellow and red, looks like the Cobra Imp (which I love).

Very cool set indeed.. The original Cobra Flight Pod is still the number one. But this is a close 2nd!
Lucky you got a good copy i had to shave the peg on both of my trouble bubbles
Oof. That's rough.

Thanks for sharing that background - I love seeing that stuff!
I never owned an Imp, but every time I see it I think "I need one of those".
Hay need less ,did u ever fix the pilot for the bubble? Call hasblow and they just might send u a whole package like someone i know,
I'm not sure what you're asking about. My pilot and bubble are fine.
