Alpheon Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Hey guys, I was just at Target getting myself a Galalctic Heroes gift set and I saw this new packaging on a Darktide Box. IT SHOWED JUGGERNAUT WEARING THE CHESTPIECE!!!! I was sorely tempted to rip one open and satisfy my rabid curiosity...Anyway, of course I didn't have any form of a camera with me, but I was wondering if any of you had seen it? It looked like basically better CGI, s'all. DOES ANYONE KNOW?!?!?!?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpheon Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 Are you positive? I mean, that's very possible, but, I do own one of the originals and I know what you are talking about. Even if I didn't, I've read the MMC review. How do you know, Deadpool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpheon Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 No no no, I meant I do have the Darktide set. I just didn't get the set with the new packaging! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdyCarter Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Interesting... VERY interesting... Why oh why did you not pick it up!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpheon Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 'Cause I was Christmas shopping...for myself...and I didn't have the money! Neither did I want to buy it then realize that everything INSIDE was the same. But seriously, it HAD JUGGERNAUT WITH THE CHEST PIECE ON THE FRONT! So if anyone has a spare $15 and wants to gamble it to Lady Luck and Art Asylum, that's fine by me...it just wasn't my case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpheon Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 One other thing, all the images on the front and back looked more purple than blue, and the CGI was a lot sharper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rx78jj Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Really, WOW. I'll be on the lookout. I'd spend the money for a bigger Juugernaut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I'd spend the money for a bigger Juugernaut. We really need a quote-a-matic! Anyways, I have a big chested Juggernaut. I made him myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdyCarter Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 so any confirmationon this yet fellas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Not from me. My TRU has a gazillion regular old DT sets on the shelves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpheon Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 I haven't been to TRU recently, but at Target there was a few old DT sets in the back of the row with the new ones up front. I tell you what, if I go to Target again soon (which I will) I'll take a picture, ok? Is there a way to post pictures directly in the post without having to sign up on another site?

Aaron Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 OK, I just got back from Target and here is the confirmation. No big chest on Juggernaut. The figures are the same, just with crappier paint aps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Cheers Aaron, thats certainly an odd change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Also, I forgot to mention that the box now opens from the sides, not the top and bottom as before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highassroller Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Wow, what horrific monsters. How dare they tempt us with a big chest thing on the outside packaging art. I really want one. False Advertising cretins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
