I have it on the media server, but I can't bring myself to queue it up.

So I finally finished my rewatch of the full Sunbow series as well as the "movie" (only took 9 months). I have to say, as many times as I watched these on an endless loop as a kid, they still held my attention for the most part. The voices are just as iconic, even if I can quote half the...

Retro SS and Zartan are due to ship at the end of this month, and Stalker Tomax/Xamot are hitting asia and reviewers, so realistically I expect them in Q3. I haven't opened any of my retro figures yet, as I have several coming from Pulse, and I want to see if they survive transport better than...

Gung-Ho in the classic deco will be the hands-down fav of the first four, while SS and SE will be the hot ticket of the later waves. The CG will sell ok, but if he comes after the main release, I can't see him being overly popular, maybe one for an officer type, but is anyone going to...

I ordered two, one to open, one to keep, and they arrived this morning. One arrived in a box with lots of air-packs, the other in what amounts to nothing more than a thick trash bag. Yet both cards were completely annihilated, as if they were pre-mangled. Can't blame the USPS. WTF Mattel...

I can see myself using the silver-masked retro CG as an officer or special assistant to CC. While I wish the rifle was more retro than just an M-4 with a bayonet, it doesn't bother me that much. It looks correct enough from a galloping horse, and if it really bothers me, I have no doubt...

Via SDCC panel: -final WM retro figures: SE (commando) & Crimson Guard -deluxe Serpentor w/ Air Chariot -deluxe Televiper with Flight Pod -LowLight sneak peeks: Rock 'n Roll will be the '82 version with a few modern tweaks Torpedo will be the '83 version with removable breather Shipwreck will...

Yeah, he (actually his clone) eventually becomes more of a Dr Venom 2.0-type, focusing more on mind control and various iterations of the brainwave scanner. I still don't like him as much as Destro in the role of CC's #2, but he's more of a mad scientist than hardware-supplier. My cobra...

Well, I successfully ordered my deranged shirtless dentist-turned-geneticist. Unlike some of you, there will be no shortage of batshit crazy in MY cobra ranks! ;)

You remember correctly... I don't really like him. But like you say, he's iconic, and just like BBQ, I need a few bullet sponges to show the other Joe's that this time, it's for real, cobra's not messing around! I still think Gunny would make Slaughter cry home to his momma.

Yeah, it's a "fan channel" exclusive... i.e. select online e-tailers (pulse, BBTS, EE, Dorkside... sometimes amazon). I PO'd one, but $37 (because I'm a *premium member*, Ooo la la) seems awfully steep. But I have a lot of time between now and the end of the year to talk myself into canceling...

Yeah, their dates are all over the place. They'll get here when they do, as WM has never pulled the rug out from under me before, unlike most others. I missed out on Mindbender. I checked at noon, and nothing. Refreshed for 10 minutes, gave up and went to lunch. He went up about 12:25 and...

Classified retro Zartan and Stormshadow up at WM... That SS looks much better than the normal release, IMO. G.I. Joe Classified Series Zartan Action Figure with Multiple Accessories, Classic Package Art - Walmart.com G.I. Joe Classified Series Storm Shadow Action Figure with Multiple...

Yeah, I didn't PO them either, no idea when they're supposed to come out. I hope some of the normal versions drop first... might convince me to skip the TF versions. Mindbender is supposed to have limited availability at noon EDT for the next four days (duration of SDCC), and then a final...

Same here... he's been on PO so long, I expect the regular version to come out first.

I had a big bunch of ML, Joe, and Vala POs drop in a 48 hour span last week, so I definitely know that feeling!

I still have no shortage of stuff on PO, but I'm actively breaking the "habitual buying" status quo, mostly because the value-proposition they're offering just isn't there. I'm no longer auto-ordering most things just because. I can still afford all the toys, but at some point, I feel more...

I'm still backing the haslab, but I canceled all my POs for the o-ring stuff, as the trooper/officer 2-pack is a real dud. They completely flubbed the paint apps (the flesh from the paint goes onto the edges of the helmets, making them look like they have gills on the side of their heads), and...

Sure, Breaker should have them, but as usual, Duke gets inserted into w1 with 3/4 sleeves and then he's reused to death, correct or not. I have a TF Recondo on order purely b/c I want to steal the short black sleeves for Flint. I'm with you on the Viper 3-pack. I have five of the CI vipers...
