    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    I think part of my dissatisfaction with LL is just my well-documented disdain for the class of '86. I do like a few of them, as they're interesting characters, but my whole "replacement theory" kinda taints that whole year's worth of figures in my mind. If the toon had integrated them with...

    I agree about Low Light. He really is boring. His outfit is greebly... despite being very ARAH faithful, and there isn't much fun about him. The sculpt is nice, the gear is appropriate and well done... but he just doesn't do much for me. I was way more excited about getting a stalker harness...

    Grunt and Low Light in 'da house! Once I paint a set of Stalker's webgear to replace the plate carrier and change a few strap colors and such, I'll have the O13 complete in this form. When it's all said and done, I suspect I'll have two sets, a Vala-based set and another set based on...

    These are sublime. I just desperately hope Flint gets the same treatment. I would hope for LJ too, but they already botched her retro release and I think most fans never want to see her ever again.

    Tunnel Rat is a pretty awesome little figure. He's actually shorter than the "standard" Joe, as he should be. He has a ton of gear, face sculpt looks great. My only beef is that he now has combat boots instead of cowboy boots, and his pants are grey instead of black. Both changes are more...

    Anybody still collecting SW on here?

    Outside of the OT, I really like the OG books like the Thrawn trilogy and the early video games like X-Wing/TIE-Fighter, Dark Forces, the Jedi Knight series... I'd love a black series Kyle Katarn. My beef with the clone wars stems from two basic problems 1) I always found it to be more...

    Target sent me an email that they've shipped my $12 Grunts. I won't get excited until I see what's in the box, but looks good so far. Fingers crossed!

    Anybody still collecting SW on here?

    I'll talk OT all day... but I just don't know squat about the cartoons or the latest D+ whatever. I found a TVC Hoth Rebel Trooper for $4 yesterday at Ollie's, even had a card that wasn't beaten up.

    No, haven't seen any renders of the retro SS. I'm just gambling and canceled my other POs. Paying for all that extra trash for the rest of my squad was very unappealing. Not to sound like a commercial, but ExpressVPN has apps for every platform, even mobile devices. I've been using them for...

    Don't blame you for not using shady wifi networks, but no VPN where you're traveling? I use expressVPN everywhere, all the time. Gamestop seems to be the only major retail site I frequent that will just not work with it, as I suspect they have their IP addys blocked. But ExpressVPN works...

    Went to Ollie's today, and to my surprise, they had an entire 6-shelf endcap of $4.99 classified Joes! It was glorious! Except every single one of them was a movie figure. Even at $5, I couldn't make myself buy any of them. Bought an $8 ML for the head, and at target, I bought three Sallah's...

    So, POs were exactly what we thought: Ripper, Buzzer, Helix, Hawk, & Shockwave. retro line reveals (no longer WM excl, better card stock): Scarlett, Duke, Recondo, Beachhead, Eel, Snow Serpent renders shown: Techno-viper, Airborne, Big Boa, Quick-Kick, Mutt & Junkyard. Airborne looks like he...

    Grunt, Low Light, and Tunnel Rat all scheduled for tuesday... gonna be a fun day! I'm unusually excited to see todays reveals too. They're really hitting a sweet spot for me. Seems like they recognize the importance of getting the O13 out there, while scattering them among a bunch of other...

    Holy shitballs, how did I miss this? I was just on the Pulse youtube page seeing when the con started. Not that I will pony up for one, but this is way better than the Prime they did a couple of years ago.

    Bummer... hopefully yours will get a few palates soon. I didn't make it out at lunch today, but I might get that direction on saturday. The girl is testing for her black belt all day, so I'll have a lot of time to kill.

    Man, I was there a few weeks ago, and all they had was Karoness. I may have to make a run to knoxville at lunch... I have several spare dusty and stalker figures, but there's no such thing as too many. That's the price of a 4" 25th figure 16 years ago... If their selection is more than two...

    It's from a Joe parody episode of the sitcom "Community". It was well done and even had a few of the original voice cast (I remember Flint specifically). If you've never seen the show, it's funny as hell. Just seeing that shot made me think I needed to do a full-series rewatch. Got through...

    I would buy the shit out of those guys, especially if the Dean Commander is included. :laugh:
