    GI Joe General Discussion

    It's cool stuff. I just assumed it would all be waaaaaay out of my budget.

    He'll always be a used car salesman running a pyramid scheme, but this figure and the packaging are pretty damn impressive.

    I'll be honest, the paint looks better in person than it does in the harsh light of my desklamp. None of the dozens of little flaws I see in the pics show in real life. The color *almost* matches. I found a Rustoleum paint that might be a little closer than the Krylon I used, but I didn't...

    Tigerpaw is much less likely to be a smoking crater now.

    Yeah, Amazon has always stood up when I tell them I didn't get something, usually sending me a replacement. And sometimes it'll arrive a week later and I'll have to call them and send duplicate stuff back or pay for the doubles or whatever. But in this case, the tracking on WM's website just...

    Be glad you didn't buy the discounted Gnawgahyde from WM. Turns out it was a marketplace seller... from chiner. It got delivered today... in Oklahoma City. I have never set foot in Oklahoma. So a bunch of people got a tracking number meant for someone else, and someone in OK probably got a...

    Well, despite my lack of love for everything Cobra La, I broke down and ordered Once a Man Coco. It's wasn't exactly FOMO due to 80's nostalgia, but rather knowing that this plays into the very-well-received CoCo comic that I haven't read yet, my concern was that I was going to really like THAT...

    After getting the Tigerpaw and Wreckage last week, I decided to make some much needed improvements. First, I removed all the weird tattoos off of his... mask (?) (seriously hasbro, enough already with the weird ink). He looks 100% better. Still has Firefly's crazy-eyes, but I chalk that up to...

    I'm amazed the Shockwave & NF Cycle were on such discount since it was just being released. I agree you should have jumped on that one ;) I hadn't even received the one I ordered from Pulse before getting the cheap one from WM. That almost never happens... reminds me of the newly-minted...

    I just want to get these figures in-hand. They're already 18 months behind. Every time they put out an update, I have to check my spreadsheet to remind myself what I even ordered. What I find curious is why they insist on throwing cold water on the idea of selling these things to the general...

    Super 7 GI Joe

    Mortal had zero presence in any media until the WWIII storyline that wrapped up the DDP comic run (epic story, BTW). But he's mostly famous for being a super weird and rare international figure to hardcore ARAH collectors. But I figured his "rareness" had made its way into the collecting...

    Super 7 GI Joe

    Jungle Trap Zartan sold out first o_O Maybe people don't know who Cobra Mortal is? As crazy-rare and valuable as the original figure is, I figured he'd be the one to generate more buzz... and Zartan is the exact same figure that got released a few months ago with one new head and some...

    Part of that was simply because the ARAH line was so vehicle focused. When the Classified line started, any kind of vehicle was off the table. Without some classic hardware, it's almost like getting the figures without any weapons. It's cool but feels very incomplete. While I love the...

    SDCC Cobra Mortal and Jungle Trap Zartan are up on the S7 website, although I think I'm the only one that cares :LOL: G.I. Joe ULTIMATES! - Cobra Mortal – Super7 G.I. Joe ULTIMATES! - Zartan (Jungle Trap) – Super7 And Amazon has a great deal on a ReAction set for City of the Dead (70% off)...

    No doubt it'll slowly plod along for the next few weeks and then get a big boost at the end. Happens for every single haslab. It won't be blowing through all the tiers in the first week like the HISS, but this thing is huge, costs more, had a useless first tier, and we still haven't gotten the...

    Anybody still collecting SW on here?

    I'd say that's pretty accurate, even for the regular items. It certainly feels like you get about 20% more for your buck with Joe over SW or Legends.

    I can imagine the SW people are beside themselves. Joe always funding on the first day, while SW goes down to the last day and only funds half the time. Then there's the poor marvel folks. After the abject failure of the Hellcharger, only for Ramen to immediately do it better and cheaper...

    Once again, I'll need the carded Leatherneck on the secondary market. These TFs just don't work for me, but I do like that they're generating a lot of carded o-rings.

    Aside from nostalgia of the VAMP being my first "Joe" anything, the WHALE was by far the best Joe toy from the golden era of ARAH. A sea boat, a land tank, a mini HQ, a troop transport, a playset, guns/missiles/charges out the wazoo, working fan blades, the little sled that launches out... the...
