One of the most eagerly awaited panels of the convention was the new toy sneak peak. Since no pictures were allowed, here are my notes from the panel. I apologize in advance if I mixed up any of this. I do know there are items I missed. They were showing things too fast to write them all down. Here is what I did get.

Low-Light? Yes! “25th Anniversary style, 2 huge backpacks, sighting scope, sniper rifle that disassembles, single bullet (smallest accessory ever.” Thank YOU, Erik, for this highly unexpected scoop! M’man Coop is finally getting MUCHO love!!!
Sigh. More accessories to lose.
But seriously, looks like Hasbro will get some more of my money this fall.
