    GI Joe - SkyStriker Haslab

    I don't begrudge anyone who buys this, as it's pretty essential if you're collecting that corner of the SW universe. But it doesn't change the fact that in the last 18 months, we've all bought deluxe, store exclusive 6" black series figures for less. The price is not just high, but like you...

    Having a history of gouging doesn't lessen the ugliness of it. They might make a few extra bucks, but at some point, you wonder how much goodwill they're flushing.

    GI Joe - SkyStriker Haslab

    I'm not even a fan of the new outfit. He looks like a fat middle-aged dude (to be fair, he is, it happens), but the odd skirt only accentuates the pear-shape he no doubtedly has at this point. It's like a chic who ties a sweater around her waist to hide her fat ass... and it only makes her...

    Damn... I saw that listing and thought, "Hmmm, that's a bit high for a 6" black series, even a deluxe one..." not realizing that it was a 4" figure. 😲 Screw that noise. WTF Mattel! Edit: Ironically, WM has the Tantive IV hallway on sale for $35. For $7 more than that 4" Boba, you could get...

    Yeah, SW has always been a license to print money, but Disney has really taken that notion and cranked it up to 11. Sure, that's why they exist, to make money, but in recent years they have effectively misjudged the elasticity of demand for mediocre SW products. They assume high demand exists...

    Indeed, that does look like it has potential.

    Goonies is a classic, a touchstone of our age, but not once did I ever want toys from it, much less a giant diorama of it in my basement. That's loony.

    Yeah, it feels like a win for the little guy when Joe shows out while the SW team skulks back to it's lofty perch. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like the bloom is off the rose on SW products. Maybe it's just b/c there hasn't been a (good) movie in a long time or because we're in our...

    Anybody still collecting SW on here?

    Wow, SW fans are brutal! They're not wrong, but I would not want to be on that management team this morning hearing the Joe folks popping champaign down the hall.

    Were you really that unsure? While it's all completely unnecessary at this stage (let's face it, we've all fallen in and out of love with o-ring Joes at least 2-3 times in our lives so far), it's hard to say no to something that fun. I look forward to actually having one on a stand on the...

    14.6k with over an hour to go. At the rate it's going up, Ripcord is a legit possibility. Fingers crossed.

    The current rule is that Ebay/paypal basically doesn't have to report your revenue to the IRS unless you exceed 20k in sales or have 200 or more sales transactions. The new rule starting in three weeks is that everyone who sells more than $600/yr will be getting the form and having that...

    Sure, it was cheesy, but it didn't detract in any way from my desire to back the project. So, we're getting a minimum of five carded figures, and Scarlett looks to be on the table. 11k as of right now with slightly less than 7 hrs to go. Another 2k bump isn't out of the question given that...

    Fully funded! Now I'm going to hold my breath until it reaches the 16k needed for Ripcord... 🙃

    Well, it came up 500 units short. Nice try, Hasbro. If only they had some democrats that could pump up the tallies in the night ;)
