    GI Joe - SkyStriker Haslab

    Yeah, what’s that all about? I’ve been fussing about $13 retro Joes at that size...

    Official Figure Pic One-Shot Thread

    A fully to 1:18 (or 1:12!) scale dio of the third(?) Joe cartoon intro (the one with the Flagg and Terror Drome) would be epic in somebody's (not mine) basement! Of course they'd need to custom build the Flagg and TD to get the scale and have water and sand analogs of some kind, trees and the...

    GI Joe - SkyStriker Haslab

    Yeah, the sequel trilogy stunk of recycling and a Disney cash grab, complete with atrocious planning failures and failure to remotely utilize (even killing off one of) the known, loved characters. It really sucked the luster off the property for sure. Even Solo was lame and contrived. I guess...

    GI Joe - SkyStriker Haslab

    Well, I'm glad this one worked out. It does say something when the Joe project gets more support than a SW one...

    GI Joe - SkyStriker Haslab

    I got some kind of form (I think it was that one) from them last year. I ignored it. What is that form supposed to be? If I sell $1000 worth of stuff there, but paid $900 for it 20 years ago, and ebay takes its share, there’s no income there. Shoot, big time sellers will probably claim a loss.

    GI Joe - SkyStriker Haslab

    I guess a lot of people didn't find the Cobra Commander thing as lame as I did... :LOL: Maybe they came over from the Rancor GFM and decided the SS was a better option.

    Lol, desperate much, Haslab?

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

    Yep, that's why I jump on the free shipping and think long and hard otherwise. All things considered, we are pretty spoiled by how easy it is to get ahold of product if we are really motivated enough. I just fuss when it costs more than Wallyworld - when they are the least predictable with the...

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

    Yeah, I was thinking that was one of the factors of my not getting on board when they converted from HTS some years ago now. I had used HTS a few times for some of the very hard to find 25th stuff, but do recall their shipping was high and pretty lousy (USPS zero tracking kind of stuff). I used...

    Does Pulse do anything for shipping?

    Looks like the Alley Viper and BAT pre-orders have dropped...

    Anybody still collecting SW on here?

    Yeah, the classic X-wing is the only one I acknowledge as well. Poe Dameron can buzz off.

    GI Joe - SkyStriker Haslab

    It certainly does look bigger there. Here’s hoping it is so that price tag starts looking like a better deal!

    Larry Hama Kickstarter up and running!

    They just need to re-route those container ships to the red state ports (FL, SC, TX) where people are still allowed to go to work...

    GI Joe - SkyStriker Haslab

    Very, very true. If there's one thing the Joe cartoon was, it was... creative. I'd argue significantly more creative than the comic most of the time, but also significantly farther from reality as well. But, it was certainly the gateway drug it was intended to be to bring kids into the...

    GI Joe - SkyStriker Haslab

    There's no rhyme or reason to piloting in GI Joe. On the show Ace had a more conventional aviator helmet and mask. Slipstream had the whole kit... except for the O2 mask. Similar with Ghostrider. And the rest of the Joes flew their SSs with just a radio headset and no helmet (most of the time)...

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

    Lol, yeah, she seems pretty clueless. At least she's cute so she'll have that for a while at least... My only takeaway was that the Classified figures actually vary fairly well in height. Breaker seems to be a little fella, while (of course) Roadblock towers. I like the variations! And what's...

    Super 7 GI Joe

    As an only moderately nostalgic wank, I still think these are great for the full on nostalgia nuts in the community! For the price though, I really do hope the articulation and posability is better than it looks. It would be awesome to do some of the iconic poses from the 'toon with them, not so...
