Joe Con 2012

PCS's bagged set just went up in price!

Kidding, although I haven't gotten my shipping notification yet. I'm sure with the bitching I've done about the Club mine will come packed full of turds.

 

[duffmann]

$630 for a bagged set is nuts!

both were sold to separate people living in New Jersey. Maybe people in New Jersey have some extra cash to spend.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

I think the more likely answer is they are complete idiots...

But that's common knowledge right?

Probably a couple of guidos who are gonna be using their sisters' hair gel to style their blowouts for the next 6 months

 

[nacho]

No word at all on my HFH set. (tapping fingers on desk...)

Anyword on Flint over at the OG13 on the progress of recovering the theft of his stuff? I'd like to break every finger of that bastard's hands who took his stuff!!

Yeah, I'd like to know too.
Looks like the thread on here was deleted, so hopefully it was settled quietly?

I will send Flint a message to try and get a update.

Derp. I was looking in the wrong section.

 

[Goldbug]

I sold all 4 gray IGs at cost to some happy collectors.
I'm hanging on to the IG fire brigade in case I don't score any Jinxes on HTS.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

I'm likely getting rid of the damned IG troop-builders, and keeping the wacky leader guy... We'll see. Don't anyone bombard my inbox yet, I'll add them to my BST if I want to get rid of them after I get my boxed set, and they'll probably go for "cost" per figure, whatever that math is.

Hopefully, they'll be waiting on me when I'm back from SDCC...

Looking forward to your reviews!

You gonna review each figure or do one big one as a set or do a faction review???

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Not sure yet... I need to get them in-hand first. Luckily the IGs are all the same fucking figure more or less, so I may do all the named figures, then lump the IGs all into one.

I think the OG will be first, then Voltar, then the IGs. I always hate it when reviewers save the best for last, just show me what I want to see first!

 

[Monkeywrench]

That sounds like a good plan. I agree, I want to see the good figures first.

[Mandingo Rex]

Just got my shipment notification!

Annnywaaaaays, I gotta go buy more Jinx since they didn't stamp my pass earlier

 

[Cloud Strife]

Oh snap!

 

[fogger1138]

Can I safely assume no one here is interested in buying the IG portion of the set?

 

[fogger1138]

Oh, and does anyone want pics of the set or a review of the OG figures?

 

[K-Tiger]

I'd read an OG review for shits & grins.

 

[Monkeywrench]

Oh, and does anyone want pics of the set or a review of the OG figures?

Hell Yea!

I know Rex plans on doing "official reviews" for the FP but that will most likely take him 9 months to do

I had planned on doing a front page feature on them, but if you want?

You going to include the IGs? Because I won't...

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Yeah, although they're nothing I'm too excited about. How are the figs?

 

[fogger1138]

Pretty good, overall. Horror Show's jacket doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would (although his knees bug me now). Iron Bear is kind of meh, though.

[G.I.*EDDIE]

I should be ashamed, but I like this figure a lot

 

[Charade]

Whose legs are those? They look abnormally thin.

The helmet is cool, and I'd love to get some of those heli-packs, but I think the rest of the figure is passable.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

I think they are nemesis enforcers legs

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Dammit Eddie! Did you actually buy that?!

Didn't Matt Tracker come with that heli-pack?

 

[Charade]

Good point, I think it is his....and I should have a couple Trakkers around here somewhere.

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

Those legs have to be off a broad. Maybe ROC Baroness? Seems there were plenty of those to go around.

is that the con fig? eww

 

[Goldbug]

I think someone mentioned it before. The AVAC head would have been much better.

Even the legs would have worked.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Dammit Eddie! Did you actually buy that?!

Heck no!...too rich for my blood...cheapest I've seen is $67, and I won't spend anywhere near that for that figure...I do want one though...I love the ridiculous colors on him
