Got it! Looking back, they really have done a pretty good job providing almost all the heyday figs - though maybe not always everyone’s preferred version. There are a couple that I’m surprised haven’t yet been included yet (Rip Cord, Blowtorch, Footloose, Leatherneck) and plenty of head...

Glad you got enough to satisfy your itch, but you are definitely starting to sound less completist and more discriminating than before. I suppose that’s mainly due to where we are in the run, fairly deep with lots of lesser repaints. While it was a pretty large offering, nothing from today...

I can’t say I love either of them, but it looks like only Alpine and SS for me so far. Definitely passing on the IG, despite his dressing up for the occasion (?) and on the IG BAT despite all that fancy gold plating. They really are getting as much use from the BAT molds as humanly possible. So...

Leaked: https://toynewsi.com/278-53003 Both look solid. Also leaked apparently: https://toynewsi.com/278-53009 Looks like Sarge bought a pair of gloves to box Big Boa, or maybe he’s just planning to throw those dumbbells at him 🙄.

Yeah, the only “surprise” for me (if it pans out) is SS v2. I always liked that version the best, I think actually because of the comic backstory with him and SE being comrades from way back until the mistaken identity issue. So SS ultimately as a Joe made sense to me. And he certainly couldn’t...

This is the first I’m hearing “credible” rumors of SS v2. If correct, I’m in for him (assuming they did a reasonably good job), Alpine and maybe IG. Anybody need a SS v1? 😆 I don’t see replacing the CC and troopers I have for classic and I have no use for Mad Marauders. The 60th haven’t gotten...

Man would I ever love it if something other than that wave and movie figs suddenly started showing up at Ollie’s.

These pics certainly aren’t winning me over to wanting to pick this one up: https://toynewsi.com/278-52973 As the kids say it, Imma have to pass. Now, after predicting today previously, Doc and Torch now are estimating August for delivery. Not that I really expect them to ultimately take quite...

Yeah, a well done tank would be a great choice. It’s odd though that there haven’t been any rumors pointing that way. Are they really clever enough to keep that so quiet and divert everybody toward the Rattler?

Hilarious that the MMS is the repaint, but yeah, the Stinger will be popular for sure. Interesting on the HasLab. I hadn't picked up on any TM rumors for the Haslab. I heard Rattler or Snow Cat, most likely Rattler, due to its popularity. While the Rattler is large (UUGE!), I don't think there...

Whaaaat??? 🤯 That looks like it could be awesome! Hasbro better start picking up their pace and motivation. Other groups/people are already picking away at potential market share, and it seems to be gaining momentum.

Got it. I took more of a cursory look and the things that stuck out to me were the strong resemblance to the original, the off-road tires (didn't really consider the material) and the fact that the front wheels swivel, which I believe is not true of the H'bro version. I agree that it certainly...

Better than Hasbro's? https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m45050667923/?ref=search_results

So we had them on weekday evenings too followed by the others you mentioned plus the Silverhawks and later The Real Ghostbusters (plus Jem and She-Ra if you were really desperate 😆). But, if memory serves, TF came on at 7am and Joe at 7:30 on Saturday mornings as well. For me, my Saturday...

See, while I had a very similar Saturday morning experience as you did (up super early for Transformers and GI Joe), I didn’t have the aversion to wrastlin’ you suffered with. I never watched the “minor league” wrestling that came on after cartoons. I remember Wide World of Sports and old movies...

Yeah, the “Sgt. Slaughter and the Joe Team“ episodes plus his complete prominence in the movie were beyond annoying. I think Hasbro was trying to capitalize on the exploding popularity of the WWF and trying to get the most of whatever they were paying him. I don’t remember it from back then, but...

Yep, web site says 2600 something remaining of the original 8400. So, unless the counter is not kept up to date, I've got time to finally stop finding critical things to spend all the leftover money on and justify spending $200 for an (admittedly awesome looking nostalgia bomb) artwork book set...

Capt. Who..? I was out long before that guy came along. I agree that Sgt. Slaughter was the beginning of the end. I believe that crappy movie, Cobra-La and departure from (relatively) grounded military themed to sci-fi fantasy was the nail in the coffin. They definitely flew over that shark...

I agree wholeheartedly. Supposedly the festivities kick off June 4. I hope there are things in the works that they have been saving as actual "big reveals" to get some uptick in momentum. I feel like they got everybody excited for significant new content when the backlog started pouring out, but...

Better? :LOL: So I got rid of that huge Vala girl AK and gave her this one. It fits almost as if it were made for her or something... ;) I gave Airborne the gun he should have come with (An M4 w/ bayonet from Silver faced "officer" CG who happens to be drawing his pistol anyway). I thought...
