I feel like it could have worked with other colors. Maybe?

And "Based on the Unreleased Hasbro Concept Vault Design" - did I black out at some point, or was this never shown?

If they never made that Recondo and Snowjob, I'd give them a thumbs up. But why go to the trouble of making a new Ozone head when most would leave the helmet on, but then kitbash one of the lesser POC heads for Outback?

Well they could've done a decent Outback head and not done that stupid new Flint head, that while new, seems rather pointless at the end of the day.

Yeah he seems like a nice guy and does pretty solid reviews, but he's definitely more hardcore on the "buy anything with Joe on it" front.

Oh sure. Like I've said before, Justin's a nice guy, and I'm not going to say I am even remotely 'as good as', let alone 'better' at reviews. He's probably the guy that really inspired me to give it a run myself. But, he's certainly a fanboy and sometimes it's annoying. :)

I don't think I've ever seen a critical review of a Joe product from him, ever. So we at least know you're being honest about if you think something sucks or not.



Oh, and holy fucking disappointment, Batman! Bad parts AND color choices!

As you said. He just try to show and pop up the best even out of those sh*tp*les that Hasbro..and now the Club produce for us.
Lets say - he is the absolute "positive" guy abput G.I. Joe...and sometimes his positivness make us belive in something better. So big thx to him :thumbsup:

Now about the Con set - the greatest sh*t I've ever seen.
If the Club ask for a figure..(lets calculate..10 bucks per normal figure...they sell them for 50-60)...so 6 times more...than why this figure can't worth its money?
I don't say anything about the Club...they made some awsome stuff before...but this one - :talktothehand:

Where are you buying them from? Neither the FSS nor the con sets cost nearly that much. The con package this year is $370/440, which works out to $25-30 per figure. It's obviously more to ship them, but not THAT much more.

Hell, $50 a figure would put the con sets at $750 each.

I don't talk about the FSS. Only about the Con set figures.
The place of murder is - Evilbay =(
I'll be honest - I didn't bought any...just in case of the high price.

Maybe this Con set will be cheaper..but I don't belive in that.

So you're complaining about the secondary market? Because that's not at all how "If the Club ask for a figure..(lets calculate..10 bucks per normal figure...they sell them for 50-60)" reads.

You're right.
Sorry. My anger make me blind for a sec or two.
Anyway - the main idea stays the same. The exclusive figure should worth its price. Even the 30 bucks price is a high category - or I ain't right again?)

No, it's a legitimate argument (that the figures are overpriced). I just wasn't seeing where you were getting your numbers from.

To his credit, he can't buy direct from the Club. They won't ship to his country.

That explains a lot.

There was a Shipwreck that looked close. There is one in the Concept Vault wearing a white shirt and green pants, but no jacket. I recall seeing a concept Shipwreck with that jacket on as well too. I believed they were going to use that Shipwreck and paint his beard orange.

Edit: The Shipwreck with jacket was a custom by Giga, so nevermind on the jaketed Shipwreck part.

Now that I think of it, at least that Shipwreck head would be partially more acceptable than the Snowjob head. There isn't enough difference to have it be another character.

It was the super-double-secret concept vault that only the Club had access to?

Hasbro like ever other company is outsourcing departments. (G I Joe)
cough Big Boss Studio run by former Hasbro workers. cough

The club just takes the options Hasbro knows they won't put into wide scale production. I don't think they really get as much say into what parts get used as they want us to think.
