I guess his deco is reasonably faithful to the original figure, leg pouches notwithstanding. But it's a rare case where I would have been ok with them Classified-ing him up, as the spandex look makes no sense. Making the pants black fatigues would have at least given him some veneer of...

SEv4 came in today... and I have to say, he's incredibly unremarkable. If I didn't know who the character was, I would *swear* it was a marvel legends figure, as he's nothing but a plain buck colored blue and black with a vest and some pouches. Other than some light detailing on the crotch (he...

Pulse is the one hemorrhaging orders from me. I canceled the SnowCat, one AWE, and after getting copies from AMZ, I ordered the studio copy of L&O, SE w/ bear, and SEv4 from AMZ and canceled the pulse ones. And I broke down and ordered retro CG and TV from BBTS (in addition to the split-orders...

Yeah, BBTS had retro Flint too, but he sold out pretty quickly. I thought about switching my retro orders, but in the end, it wasn't worth the trouble. I'll get them eventually... but if DD gets them and also has a 10% discount or more, that might tempt me to rearrange. Opened Law and Order...

It's always fun trying to solve the puzzle that Hasbro leaves us with. Filling in the gaps in a way that suits us is always a challenge. My SE v4 got delayed to friday... and then delayed to monday. I'm starting to think AMZ doesn't actually have them.

I like the snow-themed Joes. I don't care if they're in arctic camo or just olive drab pants with brown parkas. A lot of their missions aren't covert, more about "beat the enemy to the objective", so in that regard, the colors are fine. This is my mental image of what Joes would be wearing in...

For me, if Flint doesn't unlock, then the smart play is easily waiting and buying the figures later... if ever (LJ is pretty useless without Flint). If all three figures fund, then it becomes trickier, as smart money is shelling out for the whole package and unloading the vehicle.... but I hate...

Yeah, aside from the cheerleaders, I think the universal opinion, even among backers, is that this is the weakest Classified Haslab by a longshot. Some think it's marginally worth it, others don't, but the enthusiasm just isn't there either way. I think they couldn't reduce the price because...

That's awesome, can't wait to join the party. I'm getting nothing but crickets from Pulse...

Yeah, it boils down to this haslab being a physically large and expensive answer to a question that nobody asked. It's clearly going to fund, but even when I have twinges of FOMO about missing the figures, I ask myself where I would put a 21" long Snowcat. I get snow once a year, and getting...

I went with the Type-D wheels, and they're pretty nifty, as the A's looked a little overly greebly to me. The Type-C look thinner than the D, but the C spoke and tread patterns both look like they would be better suited to an AWE than a VAMP. That being said, ANY of them would be a major...

I think I agree with pretty much every assessment there. I'm ok with "detailing-up" stuff for Classified, like the RAM and HISS. I'm far less enthused when they start changing things because "kewl". And I don't know why I'm hung up on wheels, but the VAMP/Stinger/AWE's biggest glaring flaws...

Apparently it's SE Week. My MASS Dev SE + Polar Bear shipped in the night to arrive tomorrow, and amazon says blue/black SE v4 will be here Thursday. People on TFW are getting the AWE Striker already, very surprising since it's scheduled for December. I canceled one of the two I had PO'd, as...

Yeah, with DD, you're better off waiting for them to come in-stock and then use the almost-always-present 10% coupon. I ordered the final S7 Joe ultimate (TF Flint) plus the new wave of the reaction+ o-ring, all at 10% off last week, probably arriving today. Amazon doesn't even have them yet...

Still no ship notice on my Rattler. I'm starting to think it's a myth.

Sorry to hear it. WM is the worst about that stuff. Unless it's an exclusive or in-stock, I won't order from WM.

I'm going to have to paint the hair on Law and Crankcase. There is no excuse to get them wrong, especially when they release this close together. It feels like the factory got notes for both at the same time and mixed them up.

I got L&O last week but haven't busted them out. It's kinda weird that they made Law a ginger... given that he's hispanic and the ARAH version had brown hair... while Crankcase WAS a ginger in '85 and the JoeClass figure has brown hair. Do they just throw darts? Are they unaware that the...

Not yet. Just yesterday, I got some VAMP upgrades from GridIron, including new wheels. They're definitely 3d-printed hard plastic, but the stock ones are so bad I had to suck it up. I think the FansHobby AWE is the most "classic" in design, but it *should* have rubber tires. It's not as...

Agreed, I think the focus groups are shit (who are these people?!), but I also think the options they give the group are goofy. If you read about them, the choices practically dictate the outcome of the focus group. When you put non-fans of the franchise in the focus group, they automatically...
