I believe I speak for us all when I say:

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY.

... BTW, the Backpack wasn't in the featured list, which is why I haven't bought it yet.

i already spent $100 on 8000 pt package to fill out my vet rewards and then subsequently spent another 10800 points on various items in the store and made a wishlist to make it easier to go through, of course all the stuff on my wishlist would cost me another 20000 pts lol (and i dont have that kind of money just yet)

Can't think of any of my characters that could use the Rocket Board, but the Backpack? Definitely Maybe I'll buy Beam Rifle too

Actually, Rocket Board activates at level 2.

Which, given it's the same as Walk except flying, works just fine IMO.
And finally, an honest to god backpack! XD

The Barbarian set looks really usefull to me. It got some pieces that can be combined with other sets. I w2ill defenitely buy this one as soon as I got the point.

Only missing thing are glove options for the female set. I cannot imagine that she is not allowed the shiny armband the male version is wearing.

Not sure if I buy the back to school backpack. it looks nice but I have no idea which of my characters is going to wear one.

Of course, I already got the rocketboard and the beam rifle!

I'd like to know why the Roman costume pieces from the Imperious Task Force aren't purchasable. Why can we buy Vanguard pieces but not the Roman pieces? I NEED those costume parts for when I remake Steel Spartan as Street Justice/Shield.

IS OUTRAGE!!!!

Is the backpack just a costume piece? of does it have extra storage?

I think it would have been nice if the announcement had images of all the items in question, instead of icons.

Can the Beam Rifle really disintegrate the skateboarders in my parking lot, or is it just cosmetic?

If you have an infestion of skaters you just need the right gauge of gravel and some super glue.

Really glad to see the Barbarian stuff in game!
I was a little surprised when I checked this thread, when it first went up, and that set was not in there (I hadn't checked in game at that point).
After seeing that the set was added into this thread, I went in game and messed with them a bit.
Very nice to see that the females got those boots and more options.
The skirt is a lot cooler than those first images looked and it is great to have the with and without fur options.

I'd still liked to have had the fur loincloth for females and some of the other options for both genders... but this is a common and repeated difference between us.
Regardless, the pieces all looked great. I love the new tiara piece for the females (wish the males could get some).

I also agree that the fur loincloth would be excellent in the kilt section, as I'd love to use it with the animal fur legs option!!

Ok, searchfu not working, have they posted pics of the new Barbarian costume sets?

Could you include pictures or something for items we can't see at the tailor, like powers(detailed info for these too) and Tier 9 VIP Rewards sets?

Those are the only things that bug me. It's hard to make a purchase decision with nothing but a little icon and/or just the name of the item.

Does anyone know how long the deal for beam rifle is on for?

I've been unable to log into the game since Thursday (password issues) and I don't want to miss out on the deal.

Is there a list somewhere of all the costume pieces in the Barbarian set?

I hope I am not the only one who blew the majority of thier points on costume pieces and a board that is usless after level 4 lol
