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

    You’d think they’d have a surplus with the reduction of product to Russia. While it will hurt H’bro’s bottom line, it should actually make prices reduce from what they’d be with full demand. I see some clearance items coming if things remain as staged, particularly if they start out extra expensive.

    Marvel Legends

    I assume that $27.99 is the base price and the others are larger figs? That's still a $5 jump from the expected $22.99 price point I have been seeing for 1:12 scale figures of late. Let's go Brandon!

    So I read you on the AV gun. I was able to make it work in his right hand, but it is unnecessarily difficult. I hate to be that guy, but that weapon is retro accurate, too retro accurate in my opinion. Things like this are why I don't especially love that they are becoming so married to retro in...

    Lol, yes! My son has better taste than I do in his weapons, and he's way ahead of where I was at his age. When he turns 21, he will own (so far) four guns - a Beretta, a PSA Dagger, a S&W M&P15-22 and the Sig (and likely one of my ARs that's already "his" if we ever need it). That's at least...

    Nice! My son (I) recently bought a P365 on special at our local gun megastore. It's a beautiful weapon, even to this hopeless Glock fan.

    Wow, that's a pretty rifle! Sig makes a very nice firearm, so you should be golden with that one. Just make sure you can put a rail section on the front of that handguard to mount your front back up sight. Even the fanciest optics have a bad habit of getting damaged or failing at the least...

    Currently watching this guy: https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-jakl-5-56-pistol.html They are at the end of the development of this, but I have yet to see them come into stock. It's kind of a "poor man's" ACR. Since I have a "rich man's" ACR already and like it a lot, I'm certainly interested...

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

    I completely agree. The Baroness is the only retro I am even seriously considering so far, for the reasons you mentioned. I had thought LJ was a decent fig, but now that you've said it, I cannot unsee Chris Kattan, so thanks for that. 😑 But yes, they way overproduced LJ's wave, as evidenced by...

    Dude! That's awesome! Nice that it finally got to happen to one of the good guys! Those are two of the best figs yet, and shouldn't require much modification to look full retro. Enjoy! EE ran a special for free shipping on the full next wave, so now I've got my preorders for all the figs I...

    Cool fig, but an easy pass for me. He would look a little odd on my desk shelf at work. Never cared for the figure even back in the day.

    There‘ve been plenty of Snake Eyes movie, Lady Jaye and Cobra Commander figs around. :p

    G.I. Kre-O, Kre-O, MegaBloks CoD and LEGO discussions

    Looks pretty cool! Although I think I’d prefer fewer of the custom parts even if it meant more of the Lego studs were visible. The smooth edges make the gaps look more pronounced.

    Always a treat when you find you’re the lucky one that stumbled across something like that! Distribution has been really weird on this wave, that’s for sure!

    Takara Transformers

    That's a beautiful Jet (don't you dare call him Sky) Fire! I had one as a kid. I can't remember what I traded for him (probably too much) and he was even broken at one of his joints, but was still a favorite because he looked so epic in either configuration!

    World Peace Keeper c-130 or c-123

    Not mine, but I stumbled across this a while back and thought it was pretty cool:

    Watching the Pulse event (thanks, Videoviper!): The awesome (I'm only interested in JoeClass. Don't care about any of the other stuff): Tomax/Xamot + Crimson Guard - definite yes, probably 2x CG or will wait for officer to add Stalker - looks soo good! The good: Dusty - may look better when...

    So... last Thursday, while I was hanging out waiting for my daughter to finish up at her Civil Air Patrol meeting, I swung by a nearby Tarjay and ended up coming home with this guy (just finished setting him up here at work): He was the only JoeClass fig there besides leftover SE Kareness and...

    GI Joe 1/18th figures by Hiya Toys

    Doubt I'll be buying, but I'm up to see what they'll be offering. I have zero experience with Hiya. Do they ever make it to the big retailers, or are they just for collectors, sold online?

    Anybody still collecting SW on here?

    That does look like a very cool set!
