    Ah heck, gotta give some love to the Rattler too! It also dropped right in where the Apache was. I'm afraid I won't even miss those guys.

    I got the missing parts from my rocket pod kit for my Dragonfly this afternoon, so it was time to hang her up! It looks better than I had imagined and dropped right in where the Super Cobra had been.

    Alien threat neutralized! :LOL: Those look awesome! I should be okay if they go live on Wednesday. Thursday or beyond would complicate things significantly.

    I greatly appreciate that! If it goes past midweek, it'll get dicey, which is why I started to freak out a little bit when one of the videos I watched yesterday suggested it might happen this month. After the v.1 shortage, not being able to jump quickly is a real concern for me since I've been...

    https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxLMjTY_ttUElHyXAU4zq5hq4oLRCtFVwb We sort of skipped past the little comment BMac dropped about this during the livestream. It does jive with the recent departures and the upheaval of the big move to Beantown. It will be interesting to see if we actually get...

    Holy Polymer, Batman! That's a lot of plastic. I'm not a big TF guy (can hardly justify my Joe addiction as it is), but make sure you drop some pics over here too (assuming you typically do them over on the Xfrmrs forum) when you get some cool dios set up with those. Even a normie like me could...

    Roger that. And I'm happy to help brainstorm with you. I just don't want there to ever be any feeling of pressure or that I'm taking advantage of your skills and cool toys. :LOL: You've already been more than generous! I like both the onboard counterweight and the wedge idea, as well as maxing...

    Oh man. Now I'm feeling the pressure... :LOL: So I pulled out one of my DF blast trails and, oddly enough, while it doesn't actually lock in, it lodges against the adjacent (out of the box) missile fin and holds the "launching" missile in place. I also had to put one of the ground blast/smoke...

    So I was thinking... Which always seems to lead to me spending money. :rolleyes: Long story short, I decided that if I want to be consistent I should be willing to pay the full price for DS. They kept him at the proper (even if mildly inflated, but what isn't these days?) price point for a...

    Yeah, I didn't notice the release date. I revise my prediction to next summer. I think the retailers try to ride it out but will panic once it doesn't sell at all for that price at the holidays. They'll either heavily discount it themselves thereafter or sell it off to the overstocks. As for...

    Funny I started writing this in response to your previous, but wanted to watch the video before wrapping up and you replied again before I finished. Read the last line (written before I saw your reply) and tell me we, a pretty darn good representation of the fanbase, aren't on the same page...

    Definitely hang your flying vehicles if you can. That way you see them regularly, in their element. The only hard part is getting a good angle so you can see more of them than just the bottoms. I feel like you could probably find enough to make use of your new printer between larger projects...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    Okay, gonna ramble so be prepared or just TL;DR past it :LOL: So I was able to receive, open and assemble DF and WB last night after all. First things first: I take back my original negativity about the design. Overall, it is amazing and very well done. The slight undersizing of the tail and...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    Wow, that is screaming skull thing is weird. Maybe they will explain what it's supposed to be in the next livestream. DS looks pretty cool though, particularly with the yellow helmet IMO, but I don't see myself paying even close to what he'll cost at full retail. If there is a good sale around...

    https://toynewsi.com/278-63868 Well… that’s a very easy pass for me. In other news, my DF is on the way! Huzzah!

    Yeah, it’s generally better to just not know. Nothing is worse than watching someone you have always enjoyed previously go full lib-stick.

    https://toynewsi.com/278-63846 Looks like Dan Larson will be one of the new faces of the CS with Lenny and Tony gone. I used to think he was great until he decided to get political.

    And... I did it. I had a 10% off promo on Mercari and the listing already had already lowered the asking price with free shipping so I made an offer, got a counter and bought me a Dragonfly, with Wild Bill (gonna have to cancel my PO for the retro one). All in all, I'm confident it was the best...

    After taking a slower re-viewing, there is at least some AI in there. On one of the non-action figure pics of LC, she has a second braid. I'll say though, the AI figure pics look really close to the H'bro promo pics of the past, that's for sure. And they look to be remarkably consistent for AI...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    Yeah, that whole video surprised me - particularly the VAMP II claim and the LC pics. Are those pics official? I hadn't seen anything beyond the teaser prior. If they are, that fig looks pretty spot on! Anyway, dude sounds really confident, which is a departure from how he has been in the past...
