I might get Budo when he goes to super clearance on black friday '26, but I dislike him so much from a conceptual standpoint, there is only so much I'm willing to pay for *just* nostalgia. I ordered the four good figures (not MoleRat), but I definitely tempered my NightViper order quantity, and...

I'll probably bite on everything that isn't stupid Mole Rat. But I'll be biting in smaller quantities on nearly everything. 40% price hikes in five years is a pretty steep gouge, even for us plastic crack addicts. I'm torn on the Royal Guard. I have Nemesis Divorcer, and I'll have Pythona in...

100% true. No notes.

I ordered a single pythona just because, as I already have Nemesis Enforcer (I refuse to call him "Immortal"). But hasbro's pricing is insane now. I know it's a con exclusive, but with tax, she's over $50. Technically, she's a deluxe, but her few little baubles don't equate to SnowJob's gear...

Not sure I can find a tube worm model, but there's always some vacuum cleaner hoses and googly-eyes :laugh:

I also got two vipers, two snow serpents, and a clearance Flight Pod from the Prime sale this week. Oh, and I pulled the trigger on Vala's blind box sale on a Vanguard with all the add-on kits for $99. In theory you don't know what variant you're getting, but I was 99% sure it would be the...

There was a Big Lob figure in ARAH?! Never heard of that before... and Mercer-based... interesting. But like you, I disliked the crossover stuff, so I'm not sad we didn't get Jordan or Dr J as a freakin' Joe. By '87, they were clearly looking for inspiration far and wide. '86 was the great...

I agree about the truck mods and some of the stranger add-on accessories (hard pass on the weird mech stuff). But I actually like the ice-vehicle application of the AWE body, but mostly because it marginally looks like an actual ARAH vehicle. Arctic Blast... paint the gridiron tube frame...

I know he's wearing a basketball jersey, but wth is wrong with hasbro? Not counting real-world Fridge, there are two figures that wear sports jerseys out of hundreds of soldiers, and they're both red and both #14. Bazooka should sue. ---------- Also, interesting new offering from Gridiron...

Nothing wrong with FN SE... I just passed b/c he didn't really do anything for me that the original few releases of that mold didn't do. I would only roll my eyes at Butterscotch SE :LOL: Edit: DD having another coupon code "TREAT" for in-stock. Noteworthy is MMS with Hawk is in stock, and...

Retro troopers on sale for Prime day. I couldn't pass up a couple more Vipers @ $17/ea. They're so much better than the first classified version. I think I have enough Snow Serpents, Eels, and blueshirts... but we'll see if my resolve holds throughout the day :LOL:

Yeah, I can't say I'd have chosen the Hiss Driver as the mold to use for this guy, but I'm not as huge of a fan of NV as some, so I'm not inclined to worry about it much either way. He has a wild cult status among certain fans, and some of them will certainly hate that choice. I had one as a...

MASS diver 2-pack is ready to ship from Target and is eligible for the $10 off $40 (or $20 off $75) promo. G.I. Joe Classified Series #169, G.I. Joe Diver Vs. Cobra Diver Action Figure : Target

I don't mind a *smattering* of the weird sci-fi, but it's definitely not my preferred part of the lore. I don't mind picking up a small group of CobraLa main cast, but I've got my own headcanon about how they fit... and CoCo is not "one of them". In my head, even my OnceAMan CoCo is just a...

I agree he was never my favorite, but mostly because of my '86 unified replacement theory... doc >>> lifeline. And because he was a wuss in the cartoon. But I'm in for basically any '82-'87 character that isn't Big Lob (now *heavily* rumored to be the 5th figure in this wave).

Not bad... they didn't "classify" him up too badly. Not sure why his backpack went from grey to white, and his boots went from white to grey... it's like someone got confused. But those are minor nitpicks... or intentional screwups to give them somewhere to wiggle to when they do the retro...

Oh, you're one of *those*... ;) I'll try not to hold it against you! In my world Hawk >>> Duke as a leader, and Flint >>> Duke in the field, but I get it if people grew up with the 'toon as their major Joe influence. Duke was clearly the focal hero character.

So I dropped by the Ollie's after a costco run, and mine was the same as yours... plenty of Legacy Pilots and Snipers, no Soldiers or Divers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just goofing around...

It's by far the best looking and most fun build I've done so far. The designer did an excellent job making the parts intuitive, easy to assemble (hard to screw up by putting little alignment tabs everywhere), and generally doing things in a very thoughtful way (plus good photo instructions)...
