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

    While I’m not crazy about the red gull wings or the regular skirts, different versions of those are lame as an “upgrade.“ How‘d you find out what #2 is?

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

    I wonder if they'll be on the modern or retro packaging. I think I'd rather they just released the 3 original dreadnoks as a 3 pack. I doubt I'd buy them individually. FF is a definite, if he's a huge improvement over the current (modified) one.

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

    More and more I'm seeing people calling out the ASP by name. Again, it's three hundred US dollars. That used to be a lot of money. Hopefully H'bro has learned from previous ventures that disappointing their patrons with lame add-ons (particularly at the higher level upgrades) doesn't end well...

    Yeah, I had thought of a Cobra MMS (can't recall what they called it back in the day) as well. I'm not sure that would get me there. Even back in the day I knew the MMS was mainly just big ol' hollow missiles on a throwaway chassis. The ASP, on the other hand, was uniquely Cobra and a bit more...

    I wonder if the high response caught H'bro off guard. They certainly didn't seem to be teed up to immediately reveal the 1st stretch upgrade. Edit: Woomp there it is... bolt on missssssiles... Here's hoping for something better in the 2nd one. (I will give them credit for making the missiles a...

    Wow, that should be a big wake up for them. Here’s hoping the stretches will make it worth the cost for a lot more collectors to jump on. More than half way from funded to the first stretch... I’ve seen a few asking for an ASP to tow behind. That would certainly go a long way toward that $300...

    Watched the Yo Joe June video from this morning: The Classified HISS tank looks really cool (as does the Skystriker), but I can't justify the cost for either. This popped up in my youtube feed:

    It appears that the Spirit, SS and CO wave is hitting Walmart. My daughter spotted Spirit and CO there. If it had been all three, I would have had her pick them up and I'd cancel my pre-order, but those 2 of the 3 don't really help me. I'd then just be ever "on the hunt" for SS. I can wait...

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

    I fully get it and I am happy they keep offering OG figs, and figs that are very similar to the originals. If they offered a full, as close to original but scaled up and detailed, OG13 for say $200 even, I'd be hard pressed to not pick up the set. But gathering them one by one for $25 per, nah...

    ARAH: The Second Coming

    Lol, the more I see of the live streams and see the girl on there (who comes off as a complete diversity hire, with admittedly next to zero Joe knowledge), the more I understand some of the :wtf:items from the back half or ARAH to the 25th to the present.

    I'll look forward to seeing Scrap Iron for sure! SI and FF were huge favorites for me back in the day. Here's hoping his head/face gets sculpted by the guy who did Major Bludd. Sounded like SI will be getting some kind of drone, so he will have to be getting some kind of modernization. As for...

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

    Those are both fan favorite classics for sure! Here's hoping they add Snow Serpent to that wave! I'd suppose they might make it here by 2024 or so, if things don't completely collapse before then... :p

    Lol, I had forgotten that KK and the Ninjas were a thing. Easy pass for me.

    Question About BBI's F-16

    You are welcome to mine. I had to have my daughter go find it in a bin of GI Joe 25th figs and parts they had from my collection back in the day, so we won't even miss it, since they don't really "play" with the Joes any more. And my jets are hung up, so I'll never need it. You can PM me your...

    Wow, epic TF rant! 😆 I always hated Hot Rod, and I was a fairly casual TF fan. I’m pretty sure I’d have to go back to the ‘stank to find my best Cobra-La rants. Sounds like those retro cards and bubbles are going to make for an awesome (re)collection display option!

    Question About BBI's F-16

    So I happened to think about it when I got home tonight. How’s this? 4-1/4” looks about right.
