Yeah, it seems like the more recent waves have not been mixed, but rather boxes filled with the same fig. And then there's the individual mailer boxed items. I really don't understand the current method. Maybe they just send them based on what's ready to ship. Either way, seems like we will...

Well, Target got St & SF to me today. I have to say, I’m glad I got them. They are pretty good figs and definitely do bring the nostalgia. I gave SF a Vala armor kit (thanks to Nacho!) and he looks pretty darn good. The mortar looks legit with the blast effects and, with the armor covering much...

Good call. It's nice that they finally came into stock fo' reelz. Hopefully the folks that missed out previously will finally be able to get them, and with discounts active. I got my UPS shipping notifications for mine plus the Budo order (so I think it might actually happen!). I would have...

Walmart has some of their exclusives marked down as well for the inevitable "early black Friday." Lowest price is $10 for Shooter in case you need more high top shoes. :troll:

Thank you for that! I have done a bit of that as necessary for some of my other “ultimates,” but none of them had vests that are so snug. This one’s so tight that I don’t think I’ll be able to rejoin the two sides of the cut and get it to bond. I can live with it until a better solution pops up...

I did alright with the price I got my retros for, but these are even better. It can be tough with this line trying to fend of the FOMO for the best deals. But wait too long and some of them will go completely dry (retro Duke as an example). He was everywhere for a good while, did go down a...

Just a heads up, AMZ has temporarily dropped the price of a number of retro army builders and a few others to around $15. They also have the Trubble Bubble and Stinger reduced currently. Might be an opportunity to add some numbers for less.

Target is so weird. I got an email early this morning that the St/SF set had come into stock, but by the time I saw it, they were back out of stock. It blipped available for a minute not too long after that, but would not allow me to add it to the cart, with the pop-up saying it was out of stock...

I agree that the diver set is packed with goodies. They just happen to be brightly suited generic troopers equipped for the environment I have the toughest time displaying vs named OG Joes that have the nostalgia built in. 😆 That said, I’ll probably still end up with them if the Joes are still...

Did you get your St/SF from Target or Pulse? Target was supposed to have them available yesterday, but apparently couldn't provide enough to have any in store or online by the time I remembered to look for them. Looks like the fanbase is pretty salty about it, based on the online reviews. This...

Oh, man. I’d have been all over it had it been released even close to this.

St/SF are supposed to be available to the masses on Sunday. I have a 25% off coupon at Target right now so if I do catch them in stock, I'll likely bite for just over $20 each. They almost got me to buy the divers with that coupon, but I noticed the street date for the OGs in time and decided to...

Got my PO's in at EE (lowest I found on the pricing as long as you buy enough for free shipping) for H&R, NV and fCG, added to my previous PoO's for SF and GV. Thank you Club Wyndham for the play money! Here's hoping EE is on the front end of fulfillment for the next batch. Also still waiting...

This came up in my feed today:

nacho You had a B&W too? Once we somehow came into having one of those enormous console (not that huge of a screen for the weight) color TVs in the living room, I inherited the family portable B&W TV. It was maybe a 20" or so. I don't really remember. Also ran it off rabbit ears, and then a...

So even cable didn't have good daytime TV? That's equally surprising and disappointing. I do remember catching cable/olde timey (car- sized) satellite/movie channels at family/friends' or parents' workplaces occasionally. That was usually a treat, but sometimes 😲, as the pay channels had much...

You guys had cable???

Yeah, could be. Either way, these are just... bad, and that's inexcusable when compared to the brilliance of the originals and in light of the fact that graphics should be so much easier now than back in the 80's. Even if AI were used, someone with half an eye for art could work through the...

Right? The art should be the easiest part of the retro line. Just resize and reprint the near perfect, nostalgia rich, original artwork, with the absolute most minimal changes for changed weapons. Instead, it seems like they farmed it out to the CEO’s under-qualified and under-talented niece or...

**Edited after finding a minute to take a closer look: fCG - yes… well probably. I will probably have to get a better look in person, or if the price comes way down at some point. Not sure what it is exactly, but the CG doesn’t translate as well as the regular trooper did to the Valkyries. CL -...
