I believe him to be telling he truth. He had always seemed to be a straight forward kind of guy and I don't see him goin through the trouble of repacking a figure he could make or easily get in trade. He did spark my curiosity. He mentioned his new passion and it isn't Joe customs . I need to asking him what he is working on and tell him to post the pics here instead of on HT.
I have a box in the basement (using it to prop up my radio 
) that was "returned to sender"d to me after I sent it out...it mysteriously came back to me a month or two later...but that was probably five years ago. I was pretty sure, but not 100%, that the person I sent it to was badgumbo...I got that week long ban from HT around that time and decided to never go back, so there was no way for me check into why I got the package returned to me. But the address on the box is in fact from Atlanta GA, so that part of gumbos story checks out...what doesn't is why I got the package back. It cost me almost $11 to send it out! No way I was footing that bill again.

The latest from his holy impotence the magnificent Sargent Major :
I thought it to be obvious that comment was meant as sarcasm. Is it really possible to lynch anyone on the internet? If so what good would a pitchfork do ? I'm sorry if you took the comments to be literal. They were not intended that way. It seems like sometimes you troll the threads looking for villans when there are none.

Sometimes, to continue being an internet tough guy, you have to create problems. You gotta feed your own undeserved ego or starve.
Yeah well he banned me from the thread AGAIN probably so he could have the last word so I sent him a pm and now I'm banned. I guess it's easier to ignore everyone else than it is to accept the reality that being an internet moderator doesn't grant you superpowers in the real world. I picture him sitting at his desk, be it at work or in his moms basement, wearing all black with a long black trench coat and dark sunglasses pretending to be Neo re-writing the Matrix every time he banishes someone.
Here is the pm I sent him:
Why is it that you feel the need to block me from the discussion after you have your last word ? I LOL @ the irony of you claiming how others are so tough on the internet, but you are so afraid of a dialogue that you block or ban anyone who makes any attempt at actual discussion. I wonder how tough you would be of you didn't have your imaginary moderator powers that make you an internet superhero. You have pushed away most everyone who had made any type of contribution to the conversation to where all that is left are " let's count -----" and "who's the 123,826,432th greatest GiJoe " threads . Next time you post some bull like that you should make sure it isn't exactly what everyone already thinks about you behind you back but won't say it because they know that you will just banish them for not bowing before your pathetic impotence.

The truth? Little man complex. I've met him once at a gathering and he seemed pretty cool. But it seems like "the power" has gone to his head and he's gotten so d!ckish that no one likes him. He's p!ssing off too many people with this tough guy act. *shrugs*

I still remember my first banning. He dug up my Shapeways thread that was buried 10 pages, then publicly scolded me for violating rule 21574-43, though it doesn't apply to me, and closed it down.
He could have just locked it, pm me politely like a human being and moved on. But he needed to make it a public shaming so this dead thread shot to the top and defeated the purpose of locking it, just so he could get off.

Fuck that guy. I would love to see him in person some day and just punch him in his mouth. He would probably sue me but man it would be worth it. The little fella thinks he's so tough behind his keyboard.

If we ever hang out I'd actually appreciate that treatment:trollface: as long as it's not cold!!
I'm thinking of PMing him to get an explanation of why I got an infraction,just to see. I posted an incomplete,non threatening,factual statement!! crazy!
How many infractions does it take to get banned? He's given me 2 so far...may have to stop posting for a while till they wear off,or whatnot..I talk to a few people over there..

It actually doesn't require you to anything wrong either. All you have to do is not be 100% loyal to HT to Hasbro and that's a good enough reason.
I really don't care for TRU to have my driver's license info especially in this era of stolen personal data.
My TRU Rewards card number should be enough.
I'm sure it will be. I once showed an employee a opened box where the figure was gone but the accessories remained(at Kohl's & at Walmart). It was so blatantly shoplifted it was obvious. It was right back on the peg the next time I went to those stores. Monetarily it's just not worth it to them either. I've given up on reporting them.
The TRU Rewards card number is enough unless you have returned a few things within a certain time period. Using the Rewards card number allows them to look up a purchase within their system & if its a return refund the card it was purchased on. (Unless its a gift reciept then you'd get a gift card.)
Even with a receipt and the original card it was purchased with, AND a Rewards #, they require a photo ID for any returns now. At least that's my store's policy, which is horseshit.
all 4 of the 2 packs are on their website for $12 and change...:trollface:

Well that's good but they have the wrong pictures with Social Clash & Arctic Ambush.
OK checked the descriptions and UPC is right. So go by the PICTURE not the description.
It's not like my TRU will get any of the new ones any time soon. Thanks for making tons of Blowtorches no one wants Hasbro!

Yeah, I was over to TRU the other night with a combined $8 off and couldn't pull the trigger on any one of the 5 or so remaining poorly designed, poorly painted BT/HV set (pretty much all they had left of the two packs). And $40 for the snow vehicles (one of which is just a repaint)... nope.
I managed to get 6 of the Arctic Ambush(B.A.T./ Snow Job )sets with today for $24 when using the 20%off clearance cupon and my $25 rewards voucher.
I finally got around to stickering up some of my 50th vehicles (my 3 VAMP MkIIs) and unpackaging some of my 50th figures to put into baggies to clear up some space.
Both my Lady Jayes had equally 'tarded eyes, so I'll have to figure out something for that. She also only has one eyebrow, which drives me nuts. Then there's those worthless goddamn Baronesses. (If anyone wants the Baroness figures, hit me up via PM. I'll literally mail the fuckers to you if you cover shipping.)
There's also the Ice B.A.T.s that I bought 3 of, and have no idea why. They cheaped out like crazy on the paint apps. They didn't even bother painting the robotic necks or back-techy-bits, and on one of mine, the white grenade strap was covered in tacky paint, so I had to strip it. I think I'll end up repainting the strap the same white color, but adding in the robotic bits that needed painting, including the holster straps on the upper legs. Fairly lazy, overall.
It also annoys me that we got more of that fucking POC Snowjob. I think I'm going to use one or 2 for parts, but if anyone wants one, same deal as the Baronesses... Hit me up via PM and I'll ship you at least one Snowjob and Blowtorch for free, just cover the shipping.
(I know, who's clamoring for either of those figures, right?)

I wouldn't be surprised if KT takes you up on that, especially for the Baroness. He seems to think it's the best version of her ever. Personally I think the headsculpt looks weird. Mine had a splash of silver paint on her side boob too, so thanks Hasbro, for not having quality control.
No, the original use of the mold was the best mass-market Baroness we ever got. Hasbro's shoddy QC screwed it up this go 'round.
And no, I probably won't take him up on it. I haven't even removed mine from the card.

None of these figures even seem remotely good/useful to me.
I think I might have seen them once at TRU but never even thought about buying them.
What the hell happened? That last Retaliation line of figures was mostly great.. did they blow their whole wad on that for the next like 4 years?

The 50th was mostly a half-hearted effort. A couple of concept case figures paired with a bunch of shit no one really wanted, all finished off with the cheapest plastic and most non-existent quality control they could find.
2015's offerings, should there be any, will likely follow suit. As long as they release cc Gung Ho and don't pack him with too shitty of a figure (probably be Cock Master) the year won't be a complete loss.

That Gung-Ho and a better Duke are all I'm hoping to see. A new Hawk if we're lucky, and a few newbies and more redos of 25th figures with newer library parts would be welcome (so long as they're using existing GOOD parts and not wasting new tooling, it's better than repacks of trash nobody wanted like Blowtorch.)
I expect to see something new since they're going to JoeCon at least, but my hopes ain't high.
