Club Sub 2.0 (GIJCC)

[nacho]

Yeah, but I've got a whole warehouse full of 25th figures, and ROC figures, and POC figures, and 1:18th diecast cars, and transformers of all shapes and sizes, and MOTUC stacked to the ceiling, and Marvel universe and legends by the boxload, IM/Cap/Thor movie figs in droves, 21stC, PTE, FOV and about a dozen aircraft.... and don't get me started on the seven truckloads of stuff I accumulated in the name of customs. I could live to be 100 and never finish all the customs I've already bought parts for...

And THAT's just the *new* stuff. I got boxes and boxes of vintage stuff too.

It makes me want to cry just thinking about it. I'm going to go through it all and have a major purge in the spring. I keep telling myself that it's not that much stuff and that it's the packaging that takes up so much room... but I'm having a hard time deluding myself at this point.

 

[Videoviper]

^^^^^ VV Makes note for when he can afford stuff again.

(looking for POC recondo) probably will look at other fodder you have.

 

[nacho]

VV, I saw one of those this morning as I was trying to box up a small mountain of MOC POC figures...

On the bright side, I am almost finished getting my vintage MOC collection set up in my man cave, and it's nostalgic glorious wonder is something to behold. It's that awesomeness that will allow me to part with so much of the other stuff without feeling bad about it. I just don't have room for all the vintage stuff, much less an avalanche of modern stuff.

 

[fogger1138]

Yeah, you'll no doubt be able to unload a lot of that stuff here when you decide to get rid of it. Facebook, weirdly enough, is another good venue.

 

[nacho]

I never thought of FB. I don't think I'm FB friends with any other toy junkies, so that might be an issue.

I've never sold any toys before. It's not like I'm having financial difficulties or anything that normally prompts one to sell off a collection. I just had an epiphany that I have way too much stuff. My new house is finished, I have have a clear picture of how much I can realistically display without looking like a jumbled mess. And I'll still keep a lot of stuff for customs. But I bought a ton of stuff in doubles, one for me, one for the kids. And now that I don't have the space, and I'm starting to question if my kids will ever be into this stuff, I know I don't need doubles. I might not even need singles!

It'll be several months before I go through it all and figure out what has to go, but no doubt, I'll give the crowd here first crack at everything.

 

[fogger1138]

There are a number of groups on FB for trading and selling Joes. GI Joe Outpost and Tradeyer Joes are two I'm in. I've seen stuff that languishes in BST threads get snapped up quickly there, so it may be worth a look.

 

[nacho]

Ahh, groups. Yeah, when the time comes, I'll check that out. Good call.

 

[PROVOST]

I'll survive without a carded Tollbooth!

 

[nacho]

Ha! This isn't the 'stank where I'd be accused of not being a "real" fan/collector.

 

[PROVOST]

"Thank God for the tender mercies we receive" that this aint that putrid shit hole of a site.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Well, Karen from the Club got back to me. I had to email her separately, their stupid site "contact us" form wasn't working I don't think.

I will say, their one saving grace is they at least have pretty competent staff on the CS side. The unfortunate thing is, I've had to email the poor woman 6 times in the last year due to fuckups on the Club's part. I can't imagine the traffic and hate she receives on a daily basis due to their fuckup-to-non-fuckup ratio.

Anyways, like I expected, I'll have to mail back the fucked-up Airtights and they'll send a replacement after they receive the returns. What annoys me is that I had to pay for the extra $30 "insurance" to cover issues like this, AND pay to ship it back. For one of the shittier figures in the whole set. Ugh.

Where's Blood to come in and remind me how stupid I am for giving them my money?

 

[nacho]

I'll do it.

You're f#$%ing retarded for giving them money!

Regardless of what they offer or my collecting status, I refuse to so easily forgive or forget credit-gate.

 

[Monkeywrench]

I got the month 2 figures yesterday!

Going to open the package after work today.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Yeah, I'd advise checking the condition on all figures regardless of whether you're keeping them or not. I'd be pissed if I got something from someone who could've returned theirs for an undamaged one and now can't because they didn't take the time.

Several HTers are selling their unwanted figures sight-unseen which is not cool for the buyer who gets stuck with a shoddy package.

"It was in perfect condition when I shipped it, I swear. Sorry brah!"

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

:trollface:

At least you paid for insurance so that you could pay to send it back. Blows me away anyone will suppurt those people.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

There she is!

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Sonofabitch. Those goobers at the Club are shipping their December shipments now, during the week of Christmas, while half the country is out of town. Thank God I have FedEx's shipment manager set up, because I put a hold on my deliveries while I was out of town. Hopefully they don't fuck it up like the USPS did last year.

HT already has folks with theirs. I haven't gotten my shipment notification yet, but I won't be here anyways… Hopefully it'll be here when I get back from my trip.

Spoiler alert:





Tollbooth and Desert Scorpion.

 

[Monkeywrench]

can't wait for TB!

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Month 4 is now shipping. I just got my shipping notification from FedEx.

 

[Jrsmi6]

Month 4 is now shipping. I just got my shipping notification from FedEx.

Good news hopefully they will arrive next week. I wonder who
It will be this time .

 

[Mandingo Rex]

I hope to hell it's not NF Falcon and that fucking Bombardier. I want a figure I like, Tollbooth was sorta lackluster.

 

[Monkeywrench]

I don't even care what figures we get this month. I'm lost interest in the sub figs

 

[Goldbug]

They are probably holding onto the Oktober Guard ones for the last shipment.

 

[Monkeywrench]

That seems likely to me.

Who is the 13th figure again?

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Don't know yet till the 6th month's shipment hits Texas members.

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

I don't even care what figures we get this month. I'm lost interest in the sub figs

Finally!

 

[Goldbug]

That seems likely to me.

Who is the 13th figure again?

Bombstrike

 

[Monkeywrench]

oh yea.. Bombstrike. I had forgot.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Not gonna be Bombstrike, that's all fan wank speculation until it's confirmed.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Who the heck is Bombstrike anyway?....nevermind...I don't care at all...

 

[Mandingo Rex]

New sculpt trash, doesn't matter.

 

[MMorelock66]

New sculpt trash, doesn't matter.

Hahaha basically. But I did like how they at least attempted to make something new. I'd like to see some of those characters reinvented.

To Hasbro's credit, there are some decent ideas there. Just the wide-shouldered construction makes my head hurt at how they could possibly have gotten worse proportions than the original ARAH figures.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

People who love Bombstrike are getting p!ssed at our dissing of him

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Bombstrike is a chick.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Bombstrike is a chick.

I'll use your own words...\/\/

[MMorelock66]

I don't like the figure designs, or well most of anything from that era. But I did start getting into Gijoe at that time, so I didn't have this cool cartoon or anything to go off of. I had no clue what these guys were about. The shelves were lined with 2 packs for less than the price of one figure now. I was in heaven.

Until Hasbro started the classic ARAH comic packs, then I was really mind blown.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

But you don't like GI Joe?
