https://toynewsi.com/345-52264 I can’t say I’m surprised. I’ve been seeing a lot of the better figures on sale already. I can’t imagine these ladies were high enough demand to warrant the full price. From the comments, it sounds like they need to reevaluate price vs. quality on these in general...

Revive the zombie thread!!!

Well, if it helps, I'm the old man who offers what I think something should be worth (usually as low as it will let me) based on my concept of what plastic toys should cost, still significantly influenced by Walmart's 25th prices back in '07. :LOL: Sometimes it works... 🤷‍♂️

I guess I'll keep my offers low when I do shop there, and combine multiple items into a single offer as much as possible (so pretty much like I do now :LOL:). I'm sure the sellers will still feel the effects of the fees either way. This might get more people listing though. I have always had...

Hope you are feeling better soon! Thanks for the run down! I don’t think anything you reported surprised me. I did also find Airborne’s helmet slipping back a bit while trying to shoehorn him set up between all his comrades yesterday evening. I kinda wish there were more figs in the current wave...

Also, Airborne is great! I swapped out the sub-gun for a rifle with launcher and he's a great addition to the collection. I never had him as a kid, but always wanted him, so he gets the nostalgia nod nonetheless as well as points for a little modernization (not that he needed much)! :LOL:👍

The blueprints are a testament to how absolutely "all in" the creators and designers of the ARAH line were. All the lore, the artwork and details and the macro to micro nods to real equipment - you don't see that from a toy line, not then and not since. That kind of "realism" completely won me...

Right? C'mon people! In fairness, minus some now glaring, but really kind of understandable errors like calling the Skystryker cannon a 50mm (for reference, the Warthog has a 30mm cannon), for the most part, their specs and blueprints were quite good and detailed for fictional equipment for...

Strangely, I knew about the Hawk missile system from way back, right around the time I got that as my first GI Joe "vehicle" or so. (You can image how happy I was to finally get the MOBAT the following Christmas to tow the poor thing around). I'm guessing I probably had seen a very familiar...

Even though I had him as a kid, I never noticed that on the new one until you mentioned it. But then again I didn't really pay much attention knowing I wasn't going to be getting him anyway. That makes me wonder if the folks signing off on the new designs were even around for the originals...

Can’t wait to see some in person pics of those retros!

So Amazon delivered Airborne today, on a Sunday no less. I’m excited to hopefully open him up tomorrow evening at the end of the day at work if all goes well.

I'm not proud of it, but, thanks to my FOMO and lack of other JocCS activity I suppose, I ended up grabbing the last RnR fig from Walmart last night for $14, just for that dumb ammo box mag. At least that will complete my "ultimate" RnR.

Yeah, my biggest regret was letting go of nearly the entire collection. And what I did keep mostly got destroyed after I moved out. My mom thought it was ok to let some brat kids that she babysat all but destroy the favorites that I had held onto. In fairness, they had no place to keep the full...

Lol, you aren't wrong. If you can believe it, I lost a Skystriker tail fin for what seemed like a year. I have no idea how I didn't find it, but I absolutely couldn't, despite lots of searching. And then one day it popped up right there where I liked to play. 🤷‍♂️ It was mildly yellowed near its...

Definitely no weird stuff in my playverse back in the day. It was usually all about the vehicle groups on the move that either get ambushed or just run across enemy on the battlefield, on the water or in the airspace. Even better if I could take them outside to to set up a “fire base” on a dirt...

A lot of the German similarities weren't lost on me either. Particularly early on, I'd say most boys and dads had seen enough WWII media to immediately understand that Cobra looked like bad guys, which made it super easy to know who the enemy was, with only the slimmest introduction. And, save...

Blowtorch will need to be something particularly special for me to add him to the collection, despite my having him as a kid. He was awkward to play with back then, and I don't see him as likely to bring much to the modern battlefield, particularly since we haven't used flamethrowers since 'Nam...

I'm having a hard time which of the two versions I like better. I think I kind of prefer your more classic version just by a little. I get the vibe that they made theirs a younger, muscular version of the chief designer guy from the Pulse videos.

Saweet!!!
