There's a new Full Metal Panic thinpak set out that I saw in Best Buy the other day. The box is orange and has new artwork on it.

new one

original thinpak set

the original is selling for about 50 bux while the new one is going for over 70. What's the difference? anyone know?[/url]

These are two different "seasons"

The orange box is the thinpak/viridian collection of Full metal Panic, which is Season 1.

Season 2 (or 3 for some- Fumoffu is the 2nd season by time wise, but the orginal conclusion to Season 1 is the second Box set you mentioned.

The 2nd box set you have is Full Metal Panic the second raid.

In short, both sets are different sets.

Hope that helps. Smile

ah, the 'original thinpak set' i linked to is the 2nd raid but not the one i meant to link to.


the first season had an original thinpak set that was blue or black. but i guess the orange one is just the viridian set, whatever that is. just rehashed thinpak set.

Ya, I know what thinpaks you're thinking of. There was one that came out a few years ago and I just saw a new one at Best Buy the other day.

I think they are both the same thing, just a re-release with new cover artwork.
