This campaign didn't have an early-bird bonus, and while the HISS figures were new molds, the early bird was just a repaint of the driver, so that's a reuse right there. Plus, one of the HISS unlocks was armor bits and such, not exactly as thrilling as a figure, IMO, and the Dragonfly base...

Airborne was never in a sub-group, but neither was Ripcord prior to the Skystriker haslab. So they're clearly not above just making up a deco. It'll probably be NF Falcon or NF Outback if they're sticking with that theme. The molds already exist. Maybe we could get a better Falcon head out...

Yeah, it took about 26 hours, so it wasn't as quick as the HISS (which only needed 8k), but it's slowing down quickly. It'll probably be a few days before we hit the first stretch and reveal the second. I expect something sub-par, as I don't see them putting a great character like Airborne...

Yeah, I can see the trainee aspect, but I always imagine Joes being plucked ready-to-go from the best of other squads, not following through on some internship ladder. We've been led to believe Joes are chosen and invited to join, not invited to be a junior trainee. This isn't a McDonalds...

Too true! I'm far too lazy to sell anything, but if there's something specific you're looking for, I'm sure I know a guy willing to make a donation or two.

Ha, that's funny. I too thought that Grunt looks like a great figure, and I'll definitely need a few of them to customize into some additional characters... but my initial thought was, "Oh damn, gonna have to get rid of that plate carrier and get him one of Stalker's OG webgear. I have a blue...

The cover is not meant to be removed before flight. The Hasbro/Joe team did not make this up. It's a real thing (NOTAR) .... essentially the old school Dragonfly tail turbine with an in-use protective cover. You could argue the pros & cons of this tech being used in an attack helicopter, but...

Actually the tail turbine is still there. They showed it off during the livestream. It's just that it now has a protective cover with screens that attaches over the turbine. You couldn't possibly believe the Joe team would overlook such an obvious detail.

I loved the original... probably my favorite vehicle that wasn't the WHALE. I got so much mileage out of that retractable hook on a string. Quick team insertions, daring rescues, saving vehicles that had just driven off a cliff...

So who's up for a $275 Classified Dragonfly? I'm in for one, as it's cheaper than I expected. Sure, it's Joescale and not true 1:12, but it's big enough for me (34.5" long). Wild Bill looks spectacular, as does the first tier bonus, Night Force Ripcord. As of now it's over 8300 backers of...

Well, Torpedo did get Shipwreck as a fellow Navy compatriot, and SJ just got an arctic BAT (which looks badass) to act as a foil, so it's not all random. Still really need Snow Serpents and Eels though, I agree. I'm not even a fan of rainbow BATs, but the arctic version is very cool and...

Classified POs today: -Televiper w/ Flight Pod -Arctic BAT -TF Dusty (Target?) -PP CG (Target?) Pulse sold out of the CGs fast (why I can't imagine). I bought a Dusty because of the green parts. Glad I got one there, as I'm sure as hell not ordering from Target. Although I realize we'll all...

I don't know anything about it, but from the looks, I wouldn't want to meet a hostile in a trench carrying one...

I agree. It has all the same flaws as the classified figure... and it doesn't scratch any real itches over the 17 other versions of BH I already own. Plus, I have zero faith that the Hiya line will eclipse double digits, so is there really any point in buying a handful of expensive 4" figures...

I randomly threw a TVC speederbike w/ trooper in my cart at WM the other day... and it rang up $45. I have some of those MISB from the Legacy collection and I swear they were sub $20. I know it's been a few years, but I about choked when I went through the checkout aisle.

Oh, I agree those other options would make terrible Haslabs, but that's the only connections I could make to the clues. The SnowCat... is so meh. I mean, I'd likely support it because I'm sure it would be done well and come with a bunch of snow figures I'd want to own... but it doesn't blow my...

Cat could indicate Crimson Attack Tank (i.e. MOBAT repaint), meaning we might get red and green repaints of the same mold in one project... or Cat could mean SnowCat which would be underwhelming to an excessive degree. It's roughly my 34th favorite Joe vehicle. Or even worse, Cat could be a...

If anyone needs an extra Stalker, EE is selling them for $15.... and typically it's not too hard to get free shipping if you have a code or buy a few other items. I have six already, but I ordered four more for fodder, as I also used some kind of 10% off "influencer" code that Edge plugged in...

I can't get over how it looks nothing like Dusty. I feared I'd look at the figure and wonder why Dusty is wearing Falcon's uniform or something, but no... I could stand them side-by-side and I'd never notice they are now using the same noggin.

The Dusty head is definitely the way to go. Easiest custom ever, just remove the face camo and paint the hair brown. Done.
