Wait, you were able to pre-order Torpedo on Amazon? No matter how I have searched, I have never gotten him to pop up there.

It got really quiet this week with Yo Joe June concluded and the Independence Day holiday... Until now! I just got my in stock and about to ship notice from BBTS for Torpedo. I wouldn't have expected him to be the first one to ship, but I'll take it. He's gonna be a little lonely though until...

You know my tendencies too well! I wonder if we may yet see SS and Zartan along with these. We’ve more or less seen the other four together (3 of which remain common on Wally pegs), so I wonder if these 4 might be packaged together likewise.

While the Retro CG and SE look good on their own, I’m satisfied with my choice not to add them to the collection... at least until I run across them in the wild. That‘ll be the real test of my discipline.

Exactly, on both counts. I'm glad we finally got a true reproduction of classic SE, but no more SEs please, for a very long time. And if I do pick up a Retro CG, it'll be for that exact thing, as an officer/elite of some sort. I just wish that H'bro would have gone a similar route to what I...

Yeah, I cancelled mine a little while back. I never had a place for SE and I'd have to see the CG in person to make the final call on that one. I'm afraid, based on previous experience, that they would be unreturnable in the condition they arrive. I know it probably saves them a bundle, but...

My post before last was so TL;DR we kinda passed over the part with Hasbro wanting to do more/go wider with the Retro CS line. If H'bro really wanted to make a splash with 6" Retro, they'd go full nostalgia. Wide release it, full replica with the Joe CS body and detail upgrades, no frills or...

I don't think we got any other "name only" reveal that I know of. The big guest host and reveal was the Xformers crossover, which is fine, but seems a bit like salt in the wound for O-ring enthusiasts. I really don't think there would be much new that they could develop from full sized military...

I copied the text of what I've seen, at the bottom - notes added in bold. You are correct. It looks like they do want to make new stuff. I misread it and took it as more of a poll on which vehicles were most in demand for creation in the larger scale. I see where there would be issues trying to...

You gotta get your vote in for which (OD) vehicles Hasbro should offer for Joe CS. 😆 That was another of the items from the round table apparently.

Agreed. I certainly can't think of a place for any previously released version of either of them in my collection. It would have to be something new and different for each of them for me to bite. I had them both back in the day, but only got marginal use out of Serpy and almost none with...

So got my CV pre-ordered. I'm not proud because there is no need, but he's a hybrid of two of my favorite Cobra units so I was double hooked by the nostalgia and by the look of the combo. Speaking of stuff I definitely don't need, I've seen some talk about the potential, with the ending of the...

If I hadn't already modded my FF to fix the EOD stuff, I'd get this one, but I really like the look of my fixed one I have and can just give him a little more punch by adding the remaining gear this one has over that one. I really do like the new one, except for the sub gun. His original green...

Leaked: https://toynewsi.com/278-48214 I will PO the Viper. I have no interest in Nunchuck and I only want FF's mini drone and leg holsters, which I should be able to get on the secondary market.

Looks like troopers, maybe with a little different paint or something? It doesn't really look like there's space for them inside, unless they alter the configuration somehow. Maybe they'll add foot pegs on the back step and maybe handles so they can ride there like the original one? 🤷‍♂️ That...

Lol, yeah. I saw that. I have to think that announcing what you are not including is unlikely to favorably impact sales, but what do I know. Glenda already took Airborne's seat in my opinion. I guess we'll see if the final reveal is something better or not, assuming we get there. Looks like we...

You are totally right that there was a lot more nuance to the story than I gave it credit for. I just never incorporated any of that into my own Joeverse because my troops were always battling and never really blending into corporations or setting up their own little towns and such. It makes...

I've heard that rumor too. Those are easy passes for me too. I know I've seen some Crimson Baroness fan art at some point, but like you said, no real basis in canon and just an excuse to reuse the molds to make additional (SDCC premium) cash with them. And a second set of CTs is beyond redundant...

I think that's the prevailing expectation. There's the possibility of a (worst kept) surprise Crimson Viper as well, since he was leaked with Grunt. Though he could just as easily be coming later. I'd say there is always the chance of a well kept surprise since that has been pulled off a couple...

In case you want to get Snow Serpents w/o the extra cost and shipping, they are back up at Amazon... for now.
