    MTF - Vietnam

    Well, I went in for a half dozen. I was initially going to just get a combination of the Viet Cong figures, but I really like the CIA Gunrunners they unlocked in the final 24 hours. Not sure if I'm going to slim down my VC forces or just pony up some extra for the add-ons. Will these be...

    Yeah, if it ever gets sub-100, I might have to consider replacing TRUscream. I can't justify any more than that to replace something I'm perfectly content with.

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

    Comixology has the entire Marvel run in "Classics" digital trades and the DDP AE series in "Declassified" trades... but inexplicably, they don't have the Image series in between. But I have digital copies of it all if you need to borrow them.

    The comics are better than the cartoon, by far. I don't think rereading the Marvel run will ruin your memories, as they hold up pretty well. I don't love the last 35 issues of the Marvel run, but I didn't love them originally. It just became all-ninjas, all-the-time in the 90's, definitely...

    Ha, TF comics, in general, suck. If that's your only experience, I don't blame you for not being interested. If you're ever in the mood to try again, let me send you a copy of ARAH #34. It's a stand alone issue, requiring that you read nothing before or after. If it doesn't grab you, then...

    You didn't read it back in the day? If you're interested in doing so, I'll hook you up.

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

    How have you let 30 years go by without re-reading the first 76 issues?! I try to get back to them every 6-8 years, and I'm about due for another go-round. Please tell me you've read the series at least once?!

    You mean this raid... in his classic costume? 45-50 are arguably the best 6-issue Joe comic run of all time.

    I could go for an LRRP 3-pack! As for Storm Shadow, his classic white deco is all I need. I really prefer my Joe with only a hint of ninja rather than giant train-car loads of ninja. I like the Articulated Icons SS that I cobbled together. Sure, he's probably a smidge short, but Tommy is...

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

    I definitely want that, but I need camo Stalker, ShortFuse, Flash, & Grandslam too. Not to mention all the drivers. But I assume we'll get them all. Most are very basic repaints that would take minimal effort. But that also means half of them will be exclusives we'll have to pay double for...

    Now my lone RB is going to ship... in september. :whatever:

    I don't think there's been a peep about anything since the reveal of Pulsecon Zartan. I'm picking up Barbecue, despite being one of my least favorite 82-85 Joes. He won't have a role on the active roster, but gotta have some support staff to chill at the base, check the extinguishers and...

    Of course, I spoke too soon. Amazon cancelled my second RB, and the first, which was supposed to arrive today, hasn't even shipped yet. Stupid Bezos. WTF Mattel!

    Hahaha, sorry not sorry. ;) They didn't include season 2 autobots because other than Blaster, they all sucked donkey balls!

    Eh, you just gotta use a cheap clear stand for swoop (or fishing wire). No biggie.

    Yeah, I just built an M2 from Little Armory, and while it might be a touch small, I think it looks pretty darn good.

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

    Agreed, no way I'm chancing it. I ordered one RB when they first dropped, and hours later after they sold out, I still had the page open and it let me order another while people were lamenting missing out. I can't explain it. If they both show up tomorrow, I'll have a good laugh. But if...

    You'll only get 4 dinobots in the SS '86 line. Snarl was oddly left out of the film for some reason.

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

    Anything is better than the sci-fi Halo gun he got in wave 1. And I think the M2 is appropriate given that was the absurdity of the character, that he was so damn big that he could manhandle a gun that should be on a tripod. That's the punchline. Trying to make him just a regular schmuck with...

    The gun is the same minigun that fits inside the sidepod of the upcoming RAM. I suspect that most people will find RB a proper Ma-deuce, use this green one with the RAM (assuming the greens match), and the black one from the RAM will go into a bin. I know that's my plan anyway.
