Per Eddie's sexting request, some size comparisons for Big Boa. (At least I think this is what he meant when he asked to see pics of my "big boa"...

It auto corrected for some reason to boa...I actually sexted "bone" :D

Nice to see the pics blown up and not on my tiny phone screen...

Is there a head under the helmet? (Huh huh)

Did you paint the vest on RB orrrr?...if not, what figure did a black version of that vest come on?...it look good on him...

No head under the helmet. :( That's the only real qualm I have with him, even lacking the proper padded pants and whatnot. Those inaccuracies do not matter to me, really. It just works as Big Boa. He really is a great figure, considering that he's a Club figure, and their limitations. The webgear fits a tad funny due to the buckle being where the peg is, and on top of the sculpted buckle on the Roadblock/Adder torso, so it's bulky and doesn't sit right. Had they done it properly, the peg for the webgear should've been on the side or back of the figure so the buckle would've been a single thin layer and sit flush against the torso's buckle. But with all the new parts he gets (cancelled ROC Duke training gear and new head/webgear/gloves) I give it a pass.

As for the RB vest, it's a straight-up Tofujesse cast of the Cash Destro/IG vest, so it came in black. I have yet to paint anything on it, and I'm debating on whether I want to or not. I kind of like the blacked-out Rockblock look.

I like the IK figure. Not great but that is one of the only figs that I'm looking forward to opening. Not sure why as I had to look the character up when it was announced lol.

Wow, I guess I'm safe this month. Neither of those do anything for me.

I don't get the TNT hate. That was one of my all-time fav international joes. It was a neat looking repaint with a codename that kinda made sense, both from his function and actual initials. Honestly, that's the one I'm most anticipating other than CG. Given, that's not saying much since I'm only buying four out of the thirteen figs... I'm not anticipating the vast majority!

I've pre-sold those 2 so it is a meh month indeed.
TNT really does need those explosives from the new Firefly. :thumbsup:

Oh and in the magazine they said they were going to open ordering for FSS 2.0 "soon".
This is way too early for that!

Yeah but Grunt got a new head and he was always a Flash repaint! :rolleyes:

I know what you mean, but that would've at least made him a unique character to me, even if he borrowed Blowtorch's outfit and spray painted it silver and blue.

Naaaah, Grunt shared a head with Grand Slam! Flash shared with Hawk and Steeler ;)

I understand that a new noggin would have been nice, but I simply don't care that it's a straight-up repaint. So was Glenda. So was Sparta. So was Quarrel.

got Sure fire and Iron Klaw yesterday. I opened them today and Iron Klaw's card is fucked up. The peg hook part of the card is completely ripped off and the bubble is half off. It's fucking joke. Amateurs

That blows. You going to return 'em?

I can't believe all the Sure Fires are missing all their paint apps on the sleeves.

I got mine a week ago and just set 'em aside as I don't give two half shits about either. I did inspect the cards though and I think both were pretty decent. I may open the cop guy, but Iron Klaw was really lackluster to me.

not sure what I'm going to do yet. I just found out about 20 minutes ago. I may just open him and say fuck it. I've never had to exchange anything with the club and not really sure how that even goes.

It took quite some time, but I got full replacements for my lost Month 1 set that the USPS lost due to incompetence.

I paid extra for the Club's built-in insurance, though.

Big Boa lasted all of 3 hours in the Club store. All that nonstop checking for the last 2 weeks and it gets listed and sells out in the 6 hour window I was in bed.

I think Eddie is morally bound to not acquire anything that has been touched by BBTS. He gives them too much shit for making..... *gasp* ....a profit. Considering that they aren't a monopoly (which the club IS, which is why it's very different!) heaven forbid they charge based on principles of supply and demand. No, we need some kind of socialist toy distribution.

According to him, all figures should be doled out per union bylaws to each individual, based purely on seniority, at cost, free shipping, delivered to your door in a ford. ;)

Awww, c'mon...we've been here before...:(

There's making a profit (Target/Walmart/TRU) and there's being d!cks (BBST)...unless of course Hasbro charges BBTS more than it does brick and mortar for the figures...in which case, I take back all the poo I've flung their way...

I still don't get why it steams your kettle so much that I have a bad taste in my mouth for them...you almost seem to take it kinda personally...for that, I'm sorry...

I guess you're kinda right about my union background having something to do with it...I've literally been around a union my WHOLE life...seeing the little guy get taken advantage of upsets me...
