I just have an issue with Shippy's torso being way too thin. It's great if you're using webgear, but it looks silly by itself. At first I wanted to make a comic version Deep Six with that figure, but if I sculpt a collar on, it just wouldn't look right.

That's a slick find, I guess I'll have to start going in DG again. Is that a snake eyes head sculpt?

It's a sculpt I did back in 2008 for an Invasor custom. I sort of just made him into Cobra's version of Snake Eyes since they need someone to level the playing field. He even came with a pet black panther instead of a wolf. Since I've been doing mostly 3D models now, I might consider making a better version of it digitally.

Hit a number of stores on a trip out to the Eastern Shore (of Maryland, for those of you who don't know) - every DG had joes on the peg. One store only had the trooper, which I found odd.

Weird. I could use at least 1-2 more black troopers since I only have one and I dislike having an odd-man out of a troop-builder, especially when it's one I really dig.

I took one of the black sets of web gear off a 25th V1 Snake Eyes, and put it on Shipwreck. Also put the ROC Shipwreck headsculpt on, along with the parrot on the backpack.

Got lucky this weekend, Gentlemen.

2 Cobra Officers
2 "Short Fuze" Duke figures
1 Shipwreck



Also picked up 2 sets of the new Star Wars ROTJ Speeder Bike at TRU for "Buy One, 50% off the other" type deal.



Eddie, which DG figures are you looking for?

Nice haul, BTW, Fogster!

The new bikes were buy-one, get one half off?! Man, I passed on a couple of those because I thought they were too high. Waiting on the yavin pilot pack to go on sale too. $40 for a couple of new heads? no thanks.
Click to expand...

Totally understand.

Yavin is a hard set to find in the wild, IMHO, which is why I went for it at TRU.com.

Also, I am not sure if the "Buy one, 50% off the next" deal is still going since today is Monday.

You may want to call your local TRU and find out.

I didn't know the yavin pack was hard to find. They had four or five of them. I carried one around for a while and then looked at poor Porkins and wondered why I'd pay $40 for him. Other than sitting in a meeting, waiting to crater into the death star, he serves no purpose. I don't have enough x-wings that I'll ever have a dio large enough to include him. So ultimately, my wallet got the best of my inner ten year old, and he went back on the shelf.

Behind a camera watching you!
If they can come out with both a $20 tie fighter & a $40-$60 Tie Fighter, Why can't they come up with a cheap X wing. AS it is the thing comes out once in a blue moon has repaint written all over it & sells for $60 with no restocking the thing,

That's what they really should do, a "BXW". I might actually pay money for an appropriately-scaled X-Wing.

Click to expand...

Thanks guys...I'm looking for either of the Dukes, and a butt load of figures that aren't out yet, the green Shippy and SE...

And as much I appreciate the (implied?) offer, I'd rather find them personally...shipping $6 dollar figures ruins the "good" price, unless it's in quantities...

Huh huh, quantities ends in tities :D

I decided that since all of you were having so much fucking luck to hot a couple DGs on the way back from class. They didn't have any BUT! The peg with the price tag was out, and waiting to be filled. I hope they are willing to follow through with it and get more than one box.

It may be a couple of weeks but if they put up the peg they'll at least get a case.

I feel the same way. Eventually one of the Chinese eBayers may have him.

So lots of people finding Cobra Troopers? I better go out there & check mine!

I found some at a local DG in my town and bought half of the six. Are the variants showing up at all? Or are those ever going to appear?

Hasbro says they're no-go until W.1 gets some kind of saturation.

Damn I can't find these guys anywhere... we don't have any DG stores within 50 miles of me. So if anyone has any extra Storm Shadows I would love a few... can be shipped loose, they will be displayed or customized so it won't matter...

Just Storm Shadow? I can get one. :thumbsup:
I went to DG Saturday & found a complete set minus Cobra Commander.
I'm going to use a Cobra Trooper for a Black Major custom. I'm waiting on RoC Snake Eyes legs to get to me. Then I will use DG CC's forearms. I haven't decided on a head. Maybe Indy's Col. Vogel.

Who would buy just Cobra Commander? That's probably the least desirable of the set. Anyway, I'm looking to trade any Storm Shadows and Snake Eyes that I find for any other figures from the set. Right now I only have one Snake Eyes, but I'll be searching for more.

With a head swap and some extra detailing, CC turns into a Shadow Guard pretty easily. I've been picking up extra CC's myself.
