    Thanks for the reminder! I went ahead and pre-ordered that AV you skipped. :p Who's hot and bothered and why? As for the DF, like I mentioned above, Hasbro is more than happy to keep the orders coming in a little longer without adding any additional value because it's all profit at this point.

    Lol, this. A little longer for the FOMO to ferment and more time for non-US participants to toss their money in as well. Even if there are a lot fewer jumping on tomorrow than today, it's still all gravy by now.

    Looks like it'll at least pass 20k. That should ensure more to come!

    Yeah, I was figuring I’d need to do some cut and paste with the bullet belts and possibly the plate carrier to get a decent looking combo. No way the original crossed ones would be big enough, but I figured my best bet would be to start as slick as possible with the PC, cut the belts and then do...

    Those look so legit! Very nice.

    I like the helmets on RnR and Grunt, but I’d like to give RnR a plate carrier too. It needs to be a fairly slick and minimal one to go under the bullet belts. This is probably the closest I’ve seen to what I imagine, but I don’t really even need the pouches, sheath or radio. I‘m not familiar...

    Torpedo’s just got that slimming wetsuit color scheme going for him. 😝 I also imagined CH as yuge like GH or RB. I think the smaller to fit in a future vehicle theory has a lot of merit. Looking forward to getting that RnR as well and then finishing him out. I’d be happy to take any...

    My delivery estimate for RnR and Scrap Iron just moved up to 7/20-24! I‘ll hopefully have the two of them plus Torpedo by this time next week. :thumbsup:

    As nacho predicted, it looks like the hockey stick blade is starting to form as the interest seems to be building up again at the end of the DF campaign. It'd be interesting to compare the final trend pattern to the others once this one wraps up.

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    You are right about the nostalgia factor for AV. He was the last “oh he’s so cool looking!” Cobra fig for me, and the foil for another favorite of mine, Shockwave (really hoping we get him soon too!). Having another, even if a little less recognizable, has some appeal for me. Plus, he’ll go...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    The only one I'm at all interested in is the AV because, let's be honest, it's a slightly more practical color scheme than the "here I am, feel free to shoot at me" neon orange and blue. I might even replace my original with him and pass that one to my daughter. It'll depend highly on how he...

    Yeah, I think all those pics with SB are what got the rumors started.

    Lol, wow! I think you will have the option of just living off selling toys as a backup retirement plan! I'm guessing you already know about this one: https://toynewsi.com/278-48434 Such an easy pass for me. Apparently Doc was name drop confirmed as well for main line release "this year."...

    (Not sure if you remember that SNL skit - one of my all time favorites) You... know my FOMO too well. I absolutely appreciate the offer, and if the set were just a little bit better (i.e. had a Viper Officer I liked a little better), I wouldn't be able to resist. If I didn't already have lots...

    I agree that the NF is highly superior to the original for tactical color schemes for CL. I'm still a little baffled that there isn't a legit render for him so people will know exactly what's being offered. Makes me think he was a last minute change, or maybe they are just waiting for the Glenda...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    Seems like a decent choice, though surprising. Rumor had been Steel Brigade last I knew. Odd that SB is in the main pics too. Not sure why they went ahead and revealed it before Glenda unlocked and w/o a proper render. Maybe he was a late decision as a result of lackluster reactions to her.

    So I found just enough time today to do a little accessorizing. I won't call it customizing because there was no real cutting involved, just picking up spare parts and gluing. Roadblock and CI Roadblock - Heavy Duty to me - needed way more ammo for their machine guns (always bugged me)...

    Thanks for that link! I apparently never looked for him until after he was out of stock. And... apparently there is a check box down at the bottom left that lets you include OoS items, though I have seen plenty of items that were out of stock without ever having that checked before. :rolleyes...
