The 50th Anniversary
- Thread starter MMorelock66
- Start date
I'd like to see the Concept Case Rock n Roll released for the parts and a new head sculpt. Would also like to see CC Hit n Run mainly for the lower arms. This guy would be pretty cool for the parts too-
Edit- Him vs Shock Trooper 2 pack and I'd be broke.

Pfft, that would be too logical for Hasbro. I mostly want GH for that M69 flak jacket, and I hope the buck is big enough for my long-stunted Omega Red project.
CC Hit & Run is being done by the club in the FSS.
That guy was Law & Order doubtful Hasbro would make it again.
Your best hope is CC Rock N Roll. CC Gung-Ho too.
I expect the same effort as 50th this time around.
The FSS don't help me none. I just want better availability of those parts. And they don't have to call that other guy Law neither- there's half a dozen other MP/ SWAT characters they could choose from or *gasp* create a new character. I just want the parts.
I don't why I ever thought Leatherneck would be able to fit inside the Vamp MKII. I just figured it was roomy enough because it was bigger. I wonder how weird these figures would look with shorter legs. He can barely fit in the Eagle-hawk. Is Gung-Ho really just as tall? Never mind I already know the answer . . . I don't know why I bothered talking about this. Freaking scale creep.

Pics I saw had LN taller than Gung Ho. Gonna be a lot of female drivers around here.
ok, Gung-Ho might be able to squeeze in, but it's probably not worth doing seeing how his head will definitely get the paint scuffed in the process.
Glad I shipped out Gung Ho
If they recolor him in a more military style I'd buy him in a heart beat but I don't want turquoise sitting around waiting to be painted.
Shadow guard will grow on me if I take him out of the package. Must ship him out soon
Had an idea for the croc master, (Switch out head with red mask trooper to make croc trooper) but will only do it if I get him cheap. Probably will hold out till a sale or clearance.

Someone should be kicked in the dick for making the only figure with all-new parts the shortpack. That wasn't just foolish, it was spiteful. Figures should be on shelves or in stock at stores for 3-4 months minimum, not gone within hours or days. I guess keeping stock on hand costs too much but folks can't buy shit that isn't available.
Sure as hell feels like it. Cobra Commander looks like a bag of hammer-smashed assholes, and my disdain for the CM/BT pack has been well-publicized. Those two should have been the short-packs.
My TRU has the vehicles but not a two-pack in sight, not even the undesirable ones.
I have resigned myself to simply not care. If I find one, great, if not, I'm not going to excessively hunt or pay scalper prices. The world won't stop turning if I simply skip these.

I just want SS and Spirit 2 pack (got it and already tore them apart and am working on them), the suppressed MP5 from Firefly, a Gung Ho head and vest and a Sightline just because Gary was a friend...otherwise - I am not interested in the rest...likely will end up with casts of the parts I want...sightline could be pricey.
Nothing really drawing me to go searching, as my kids have moved on to other toys than GI Joes for the moment. When they swing back or toward the holidays, I'll probably be at TRU and will check out what they have then.
But you have to go to TRU and waste your time looking at the leftovers that have been there for the past however many months collecting dust? Yeah, no.
If you're in need of a whole bunch of weird, made up, blue uniformed figures, get on down to TRU now!
