    My bazooka had a sloppily painted mustache too, but wasn't in the realm of these recondo monstrosities. I'll just have to fix them myself. It's not a big deal, just irritating.

    Really, you got a good Recondo? By the hot mess I saw, I was convinced there was no way a good one existed. I've got my original one being shipped by target this morning, so if it's better, I might take one of the duds back.

    I stopped by a Target today and they had a whole peg of TF Recondo. Let me preface this by saying I usually roll my eyes when people bitch about Hasbro paint. But these were beyond the pale. The mustache on all six of them was REALLY poor. I mean, all of them were lopsided with a very bushy...

    Yeah, I understand not wanting straight rehashes, but when they know most people are going to stand them together, why make the colors glaringly different? C'mon, man!

    Nice! Is that moving water or hardened resin?

    I'm not overly thrilled with either main SE we have at the moment. I'm definitely waiting for the retro one. I prefer the goggles to the medieval visor, and I'm definitely excited about boots w/o (crooked) shin guards, and the old-school harness is icing on the cake. I think I have four of...

    I wanted the TF Duke for parts, figured there was some custom figure that needed burnt orange pants if I remove the stripes. And many customs can use that noggin, so I couldn't resist. However, the bike already has a new home, never even removed it from the box. Somebody on TFW is collecting...

    My TF Duke/RAM and Bazooka are out for delivery today, oddly no word on Recondo ordered at the same time... and no word on the spares I ordered from Pulse. I really hate the TF decos, but they will make useful parts for making a non-neon Bazooka and other characters down the road. I'm thinking...

    Yeah, the retros won't show until after Feb when all the WM stores have done inventory and reset for the spring. If it's like last year, everything will show up in the back half. We'll get these TF target figs and the one wave we know about (CG and friends), but there are 20-something figures...

    That's basically what happened to me when I stumbled across them, but I thought up a custom or two for the ugly bats. I'm going to strip the pp lines off the vipers and paint the red parts green for a COIL viper.

    While I'm not crazy about the cost of many of the kits, gridiron is killing it. The latest offering for firefly is pretty badass. GA0263 1:12 Saboteur Loadout great for G.I. Joe Classified, Cobra, Firefly, Snake Eyes, Custom Action figures, Trooper, Military Force, Gridmas, Warriors Spy...

    Anybody still collecting SW on here?

    I would pick up one of those at that price, but it tells me they're unavailable locally and I don't even have a "ship" option. I think you got them all ;) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    The grey viper has gold cobra logos, paint apps on his sidearm, and a few little things like that to distinguish him, but no arm band. I just ordered a gridiron kit for him with some heavy firepower so he can be the muscle. If you find the set on sale, I'll buy the grey one off you. Now that...

    I initially ordered two from Pulse, but later I decided I was going to need more, so I ordered four more from Amazon and four from Deepdiscount. I initially figured I'd end up canceling one order (whoever was bringing up the rear), but eventually I just decided I needed ten. One to keep in the...
