True but at least they gave him a new one that looks like it can be mounted to different vehicles. I'm really interested in seeing how big that other MG he has is. I need some decent ones to replace my gigantic BBI ones.
It looks pretty good. I believe this is the first time an aircraft barrel-equipped M2 has come to the scale.
I'm definitely going to be looking to acquire multiples. May even see if a "good'nuff" conversion to a M1919A6-AN/M2 Stinger hybrid is possible, which is what I wanted my Rockblock custom to have.

But they won't say who is number 13. The first that gets him will be the first to know.
Ya know, I was thinking (along with probably everyone else) that the 13th figure would be Slice...but now that a 2nd subscription has been confirmed, I'm betting my left nut that they'll put Slice in there, to help guarantee return customers from the first sub...the 13th figure for the first sub will be someone else...just watch...
If they card the rest of the OG, my MOC OCD will be sad that the rest of the crew is in baggies...
A second wave for the sub? HA! Well, all you guys that want ARAH figures get ready to pony up. I'm betting that's how the figures will get updated. Now, the price will go up since they can't get their shit together. I am blown away that they are allowed to have the license for GI Joe. It could be run better from a garage.
Collecting ARAH homages is getting too rich for my blood...not to mention difficult...not that I don't have the money, just that I can't stomach paying what they want for such a small amount of plastic...especially considering its not any more special than the plastic GIJOEs at retail...being "exclusive" isn't justification enough for me...
Yeah, they are simply climbing up the supply/demand curve so that not all the figures are worth what they charge. I'll likely be cherry-picking, as I expected the prices to be high before, and now I expect them to be absurd. Maybe they'll surprise me, but I won't be holding my breath.
The Dollar General variants maybe. Unless Hasbro dispelled that, I haven't been following Joecon information.
Although they're going to try to get more of DG wave 1 out, which would be product. Not new product, but still product.
I wish that the DG figures would come out more. I really want that wave 2 Shipwreck. Perfect fodder! Plus I can stand for some more Cobra Blue Shirts.
Everybody should just give up on the DG figures. If you honestly believe that stuff is coming out in large numbers then you are naive. I refuse to believe otherwise until proper evidence is revealed. Even then, it's obvious that Hasbro is just jerking everyone around like 21st Century toys did. Except this time its worst because Hasbro will probably never go out of business despite their impressive attempts to do so and this kind of thing will never end.
I don't doubt they have a ton planned. 3 of the six figs use molds that have singular releases or a couple limited releases.
Honestly, this is what I would prefer, lower price point for a cool fig with only a couple weapons. That's what it use to be. I don't need 8 poorly scaled assault rifles. They've increased the price point and changed what we get from action figure to action figure set.
Well I am so glad John Chu had Hasbro made a figure of himself. I was looking forward to see Retaliation.So on behalf of Gi joe fig collectors for 2012. I'd like to to tell John where to stick his own likeness. However, probably knowing him; he has it there already!!
I'm pretty sure the delay for the movie came from Paramount's producers and executives... not the director. I know a Director can become a figure head for a production... but man...
Just got an email that my Homefront Heroes set has shipped. Faster than I expected!
Now I just have to get it and find someone to take the IGs off of my hands.

Yer kidding me?!...and tards actually spend that much?...seriously?
So the GIJCC wants to help out scalplers by cock blocking Jesse?...that's f*@#ed up...
That is great news man glad to hear they are shipping out. I went to this years con and was able to sell one bagged set for $640 and another bagged set for $630. Selling both the bagged sets paid for my registration so I was really happy about that.
