    https://toynewsi.com/278-50812 Looks like the CAVs have sold out. As of the post, they still have CVs for $12 , LJs for $5, Baronesses for $8. Destros for $15 and Green Pants SEs (good for customs?) for $22.

    Nice! I can't wait to see your version of tactical Shipwreck! Shockwave is most definitely amphibious! :p For now at least, mine will remain a lefty, at least for display. I'm mulling a back to back pose with him and Beachhead (two of my favorites), so keeping him shooting left will offer at...

    Super 7 GI Joe

    Agreed on all counts. They should have just done all those crazy cartoon variants with actual poseability and a reasonable amount of accessories for that $20 price tag. That would be a little easier to stomach than the 5 PoAs for sure. Problem is that the O-ringers might even be more expensive...

    I got a chance to open up and display Buzzer, Shockwave and Hawk tonight. Buzzer - wow, he’s as rubbery a fig as I’ve seen so far, and his accessories even more. He really comes off as a cheap version. I did have to super glue his glasses, unlike Ripper’s. Overall, I’m not very impressed. If he...

    Agreed that they should have gone retro 6” Joes first, instead of the 4” ones (again). Those were just redundant, especially at the prices they were asking. Then they could have introduced the modernized as they started to gain momentum. You can always count on H’bro to do things backwards...

    Still (today) getting these from Ollie’s. I never saw this version of SS there and haven’t seen anything there besides movie figs and $13 LJs for nigh a month now. C’mon, man!

    Lol, worst codename ever! But the customs look great! Is that a modernized Mainframe in the middle?

    Congrats on the successful hunt! Funny you mentioned SW's big head. I always pretended he had a thick kevlar balaclava that was bulletproof like his vest (this is well before I had any real inkling of what bulletproof meant besides what I saw on shows like Knight Rider, Blue Thunder and the...

    Me? Spendy? :laugh: I'm a single income household with 4 kids (2 college aged) and an elderly mom living with us. Spendy for me is the regular Joe CS fig, the occasional meal out and the (very) occasional boom stick and ammo. Once in a great while I'll splurge if I get some extra travel money...

    I found and ordered a classic looking 3D printed Eel spear gun on eBay. No sense waiting around for Hasbro to finally outfit him properly down the road if I can knock that down affordably now. He's not complete w/o a proper weapon and doesn't look nearly as cool with the Torpedo copy. Hopefully...

    I was able to find some time at the end of my workday today to get ol' Ripper unboxed and set up. He's definitely pretty darn true to the original and helps Zartan and Zarana to look a little less like the only oddballs of my Cobra collection. Just need Buzzer to hurry up and get here to finish...

    Too bad for me. Anything I’d want to buy from Pulse to get to $75 doesn’t qualify. Apparently my Ripper is on the way, but I won’t be back in the office to get him until Monday. The others from that wave have been bouncing around too, but are currently due to ship by 12/1.

    I swung by an Ollie’s in W’burg again this weekend. It had exactly the same stuff as two weeks ago - movie figs at $5 per and LJs at $14 per. I feel like they may well have run their course. Not sure if they are actually intending to sell LJ for that or if they have a corporate level oops that...

    That place is a treasure, and has supplanted eBay as my go to spot for Joe CS parts for a while now. I particularly love the bundle and make an offer features. It’s kind of like a modern day flee market!
