Agreed that it is important that Torpedo have a swappable head. Plus it would be great if he had some usability outside water, you know, like an actual Navy SEAL. It'd be awesome if they found a way to "team" him up with Shipwreck with some amphibious capability. A guy can dream, right? They are...

Just finished watching the Hasbro Pulse GI June video from today. My thoughts: "Character leaks" - Shipwreck, Rock'n'Roll, Torpedo and Copperhead - All of these have some potential, and I'm happy that between these and the reveals of the next wave, Joe is finally getting some more troops to try...

Right? Mine are also hung up in my office, so the ground support items have been "filed." The ladder I found was in a box with other loose items. I recall seeing the other ladder Zodiac described at some point in the not too distant past, but did not see it there last night when I found this...

Ah, that must be the one from the F/A-18. I didn't see the other one around, but I'll try to remember to take another look when I'm down in my home office again.

I’m not 100% sure this is the one, but this is what I found. If it looks like the right one, I put the bottom flush with the end of the yard stick. Looks like 3-1/4”:

Is that a control panel for maybe a weapon of... MASS... destruction???

Supposedly Shipwreck and Rock'n'Roll are in the works. Neither are high on my list, but it will depend on what versions they picked and how well designed they are as to whether I'll ever pick them up or not. Keeping my expectations low.

This popped up in my inbox today: https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/optimus-prime-10302?cmp=emc-c=PROMO-eid=6456-d=5/31/2022-n=202205_OPTIMUS_PRIME_LAUNCH_CONTROL-sid=6633443-jid=64484-s=LAUN-t=IDEAS-a=ACTIVE-tst=&j=64484&sfmc_sub=6633443&l=259_HTML&u=6671433&mid=510004361&jb=4334 Looks...

They are national and they do take PayPal. I’ve found they‘ve had a lot more options for Class figs and parts than eBay most of the time. It’s all fixed price, usually with the option to make a slightly lower offer. And they run specials occasionally. I’ve been happy with them so far.

https://www.mercari.com/search/?itemStatuses=1&keyword=gi%20joe%20classified&sortBy=3 It's kind of like less popular buy-it-now eBay. There are a number of sellers there who part out Joe Class figs.

Given the context, it does have a "calm before the storm" feel to it. I've seen enough videos to know that there is probably a Ukrainian drone overhead and or a tank killer squad hidden just outside of town just waiting for the poor conscripts to clear the civilian population before sending...

Hmmm, might have to swap that head if I can score one on Mercari or something like that. There is a noticeable improvement there for sure. Plus black is a better color (with a better logo) for the hat...

I‘ve rarely seen figs in the clearance aisle either at WM, but lately that changed. I saw quite a few (granted mostly Eternals) ML figs and all the remaining retro Stalkers and Troopers there fairly recently. I also saw the SE movie and Flint, LJ and CC figs on sale, although, like yours, in...

Besides maybe Baroness, it will probably come down to price for me. None of the others offer me anything I don’t already have a close or preferred version of. But I’m a sucker for a good deal... If I see some one clearance, I might pick a couple up, for extra parts if nothing else, but not for...

Yeah, it was a bridge too far And WM probably saw the 4“ retros peg warming and pulled the plug early. I see the 6” going clearance in no time as well. They’re retro style repaints with inferior packaging and fewer accessories at a higher price point. I’m not sure what they thought would happen.

Well... I agree with you in principle. He came out right as the "light infantry" was hitting its stride back in the 1980s. However, the "you'll die in the desert if you have too much armor/gear" argument died in Desert Storm when body armor truly became the standard, and then again in OIF, when...

So far I've been doing okay using spares of or picking up loose items on Mercari to kind of "finish" fitting out some of the figs - Joes particularly - to a modernized version. I'm already eyeballing another Flint vest for Outback to cover up that tiger on his shirt and to give him a fighting...

My first impressions of the newest pre-orders (with the boxes and weapons): Dusty - looks pretty good. Very true to the original. Honestly, a little plain and armor deficient by todays standards. I might look to see if I can armor him up a bit after he comes in, if I can find an appropriately...

Ok, so I've got a buttload of pre-orders now. I've got (this is more to help me keep track than anything else): Spirit, Storm Shadow and Cobra Officer - due in July according to EE Dusty, Crimson Guard and Zarana - due next March '23 according to Amazon Stalker, Tomax and Xamot - due in May '23...

Nice run down! I went and watched the reveal at 2x speed, skipping to the good parts (I kind of can't really deal with the chunky girl who hosts it). I think you are spot on. I'll be pre-ordering the Dusty, Zarana & CG on Amazon and will hop by the Tarjay website to see if I can get free...
