Apparently what they added was significant. They've got tier 2 unlocked now and are less than 1k from tier 3. If momentum holds, looks like it might just get there. How about that... Edit: Fully funded through all 3 tiers. Color me surprised, but pleased overall. It means Joe Haslabs will keep...

Ah, the collector's fomo walk of shame, something akin to that cheerleader that keeps going back and servicing the jock, who treats her like crap around his friends, but promises he will only love her and her alone forever... :LOL: We've all been there. But you're right. It's actually the lower...

I was going to open up BACC tonight, but when I opened the WM envelope (because why package your merchandise in a way that ensures it reaches its destination fully intact?), the top half of the box is totally mashed. Not that I really care that much about the boxes, but, as if I needed a reason...

I could see that. Hopefully Hasbro recognizes that Joe has overperformed this time as well as with the 25th/ROC/POC before it and keeps making Joe content in different forms throughout our lifetime. It's crazy how many scales they have used already over the last 40 years! Why not one more! I...

Your Rattler will be there before you know it! More Rattlers getting to people is good news over here too, as more supply means more Wild Weasels out there as well. We are a little spoiled to be at/near the peak of the CS, while the other lines have waned or gotten prohibitively expensive. And...

Seems like they tried to capture the time period he was from, but maybe without spending too much. By '91, Joe had moved away from conventional military toward their final destination of neon/eco/ninja/street-fighter. Less battle dress uniform and more costume. While he may not be the best...

Yeah, you'd think the membership-based service of Pulse would do a better job hooking up its members. Besides first access to POs and exclusives, you'd think they would be prioritized for absolutely everything - like ensuring new product came to them before all the other retailers, priority...

Well, color me a little impressed. I got the shipping notice for BACC from WM yesterday and looked up the tracking. Supposed to arrive by 8pm tonight by FedEx. I'm also a little baffled as to why WM didn't just fulfill that part of my PO since he was only a little behind their projected...

I’m getting the feeling that Hasbro is spreading the stock out between retailers. Seems that BBTS has retro CG and TV in stock now. AMZ has SE with the polar bear. WM has BACC, MB & colorful SE. Nothing new yet for EE or DD that I’ve seen, but maybe they’re next. 🤞

I got my Rattler gunner replacement figured out. I saw that EE has non-mint Trubble Bubbles for $42. Pretty good deal. I needed to replace my cancelled Walmart PO for BACC and MW anyway so I added those to get up to free shipping. I will use the full face covered TV that comes with the TB as my...

I can't really justify getting any of this one. I don't need anything cartoon accurate. No ginormous SC, no winterized but not arctic camo'ed Joes and no bivouac/campsite playset. I only need one version of Flint and LJ (my custom made ones from parts of the two versions we've gotten), which...

And... funded. Finally. At least they crossed that hurdle, and kept their funding record intact. The only question now is the momentum and trajectory of this one's final week bump.

All so very true. The ultimate result is the loss of the confidence of the fandom that the good Haslabs had built. I don't see another episode like this one funding next time. Momentum is picking back up a little as the SC closes in on funding, so today will be the day, followed by the...

Less than a week left on the SC Haslab and still not funded. At least they are close enough now to all but ensure it will be, that is unless a bunch of people drop out, knowing that the tiers are unlikely to be unlocked. It's kind of a paradox when the tiers aren't all that desirable, but the...

And... I found a minute. Man, what a beautiful offering of my absolute favorite as a kid! Huge, chunky and hits all the nostalgia spots just right. Just put together as the base model for now. We'll see if I get inspired to decorate it a bit more when I finally get ahold of a Wild Weasel and...

The Rattler has arrived. Man, it’s big and heavy. Now I need to find the time to assemble it and then find somewhere to display it. The quest for Wild Weasel continues, and may for some time.

He makes a couple good points.

I might well end up with the improved wheels for my Stinger eventually, if they do a Type A slim. They look pretty awesome, but I'm not sure I'm ready for the wide tires. As you mentioned, those really do change the look. I'm also still holding out hope for a VAMP Mk II at some point (seems...

Totally agree. I can understand wanting to update a few traits to somewhat modernize equipment and add functionality that wasn't present in the OG version, but there's a fine line where they can easily lose the signature characteristics that made the vehicle recognizable. I think they did well...

Yep, I did a couple POs to try to lock in the discounted/coupon'ed rate for Budo and CG/TV. I won't bother for BACC/MW since there isn't currently a coupon anyway. I'll do like you said and snag those two as soon as they come into stock (assuming it's before AMZ). Hopefully there'll be another...
