FYI, Target.com has Law & Order on clearance for $28, down from $45. Not sure he'll ever get much cheaper.

Apparently the arctic repaints are a 3-pack. That's an extra bummer, as I'd have bought more Steel Corps for customizing some extra snow Joes. Probably going to be an overpriced pulse exclusive... so I might be out... or waiting for the clearance that may never come.

I don't *need* them, but I'm a sucker for environmental repaints. They at least have a practical reason to exist, as opposed to the incessant Crimson and rainbow reissues of everything. I'd prefer a blueshirt in a parka to all of the specialty vipers in white, but it'll make for a fun photo...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I have an ocean backdrop I'll set it on for photos (might need a larger one?), but it'll be too big to live on a shelf. I might be able to assemble it in a way that is disassemble-able, but I'm not sure until I start putting it together. I tend to like to Kraggle bigger pieces for...

Nice little haul! DD has the MMS in stock, so you can easily get it for 15% off and free shipping when the next coupon code drops (if there aren't any active now... I'm not sure). While General Hawk is the correct figure to go with my '86 crowd, Colonel Hawk just looks so "right" with my '82...

FYI, DD has S7U Bludd, Scarlett, and Trooper under $30, and they're running the monthly 15% off instock stuff (CHILL15). More than 50% off on figs from W3 and W5 is solid, as those weren't produced in the huge quantities of W1 & 2. Add those to the BBTS deals and you're not missing too many.

I recall being genuinely struck taking them out of the package, just how toon-accurate they are. Zartan and Major Bludd in particular. It's really impressive, given that hasbro has never been able to do anything that close, even when they try. The extra portraits and facial expressions really...

As far as I know, yes. They have only put out three Joe Ultimate figures this year, all repaints (Red Laser, TF Flint, PP Destro). Last announced wave was cancelled, and so far nothing new has been announced in nearly 18 months. Even the assumptions that they were pivoting to a cheaper deluxe...

So I took the time to do the Metalhead leg swap on Mainframe... at first I wasn't sure, as the underwear is a little big, but fitting MF's gear/belt over the top of the diaper basically hides the extra, saved me from having to trim it down. And it's a snug fit, so his gear doesn't try to ride...

I bought a $10 NFTR for that purpose, but when I got so irritated with the short-king figure, I just put him away and stuck with my PP Viper/BAT kitbash with GridIron gear. The one I trimmed today was the office-studio figure, trying to make him better since I don't want to make a second...

I did a little trim-job on the sides of mainframe's helmet, cut it back so it's not so close to his cheekbones. I think it makes all the difference in the world to how he looks with the classic headgear. The sides just came forward way too far and exaggerated the "kid in an adult costume" look...

This is entirely possible and crossed my mind too. He did have a big noggin, likely the same designer that made the original '86 viper, who had a big noggin as well. Then again, I always thought of it more like a motorcycle or racing helmet, which are pretty bulky, unlike a military helmet...

$300 is definitely steep. Even $200 isn't really a bargain, as the original haslab was $300 with four figures. Three less figures @ $28 puts the price barely over $200, and they have to do zero new tooling for this project. The margin on this has got to be pretty high.... basically priced at...

MTO Arctic HISS is live. PO for the next month, delivery is Dec '26... and unlike a haslab, supposedly we're not charged until it ships. G.I. Joe Classified Series #216, Arctic Assault H.I.S.S. (High Speed Sentry) and Arctic Assault H.I.S.S. Driver - Hasbro Pulse EDIT: The panel also has a...

Every retailer these days seems to have some kinds of shenanigans going on. AMZ telling me my figures will be delivered every day for a week... WM just forgetting about their POs... Target and Pulse playing the out-of-stock game constantly... BBTS charging a premium on everything just because...

I ordered 3x of this wave minus the GV. Got three Mainframe... and a week later got 3x Sci-Fi... and a week later got 3x Wetsuit. So yeah, it does seem less like a wave and more like a group of figures that just get released in a similar timeframe.

Wetsuits arrived from AMZ... in an envelope. Fortunately only one of them was crushed, but the figure doesn't look harmed. You'd think that getting that many figures would warrant a box, but this entire wave arrived that way, one SKU at a time, each in envelopes.

The deals were "ok"... but other than the retro Viper, they were all 2-yo figures that we've all bought for retail and on sale many times over. There just wasn't anything compelling that I needed to spend money on. Wetsuit and greenshirt should be my last Joes for the year. After that it's...

I opened Sci-Fi last night, and it's pretty solid. I have read a lot of gripes that he's not ARAH enough, green isn't bright enough, etc, etc... and I just don't see it. None of those things bother me. And YET, he seems off somehow. I can't put my finger on what exactly is bugging me, but...
