Got my first of many hall of heros in the mail today. Firefly. Now waiting for Stormshadow and my 10 BATS.

Well, I'm back from course, two months I won't get back again, but I picked up some goodies, the Wild Bill/Scrap Iron Comic pack, both GI Joe and Cobra 5 Packs, and when I got home I had a Cross Hair for the Outrider dio I'm working on, a near complete Canadian Thunder Clap (No figure, antenna broken), a canopy for my Tomahawk, a gun cap for my Cobra CLAW, missiles for my Skyhawk, and a helmet and backpack for my Footloose. :D

Additionally, on a trip to Halifax, I found the IJ Akator Temple playset at Winners for $15, too bad the vehicles wouldn't drop that low.

New patrol boat, True Heros (i think)
Cobra Resolute Trooper x 4
Resolute 5 pack
Super Humvee (BSI type)
Microman Acrograb (might have mentioned in a previous post)

I finally found the "Ghost Hawk" at Target the other day! I was beginning to think the thing was a myth!! I never owned one when I was younger... is this a brand-new mold? It seems a lot sturdier than I would've expected from a re-released 1983 mold.

Honestly, all the 25th Anniversary vehicles seem to be brand-new molds copying the original designs. Hence, they're sturdier thanks to more modern means of construction.
I don't actually OWN any 25th Anniversary vehicles so I could be wrong on some cases.

Self-Modifier
05-12-2009, 11:53 AM
That could explain it! The only other 25th vehicle I own is the VAMP, and it's different in places from my original -- but I thought it was mostly re-tooling, as opposed to total re-sculpting. I should compare them more closely when I get home.

Death_at_Midnight
05-12-2009, 06:47 PM
I think it's a bit of both. Some seem to be just retooled, others seem to be new molds. The water moccasin has some new looks on hatches, more foot pegs, etc. The HISS foot pegs are smaller to fit the smaller diameter holes. However it's confusing too b/c for instance the HISS doesn't allow a HISS Driver to fit nicely with the holdster, nor does the water moccassin allow copperhead to fit nicely. The copperhead that came with the thing does fit snuggly, but i'm talking about the one that came with the comic pack, b/c in my mind that's the original copperhead color... those greens. The original water mocassin has copperhead in those green/limegreen colors, so to me the comic pack copperhead represents what copperhead really looks like. Not the python patrol colors.

[QUOTE=Death_at_Midnight]...for instance the HISS doesn't allow a HISS Driver to fit nicely with the holdster...[/QUOTE]
That's weird, because my 25th HISS driver fits quite nicely in my 1983-vintage HISS tank! He's obviously a bit larger in there than an ARAH fig, but I have no problem fitting him in and closing the canopy.

Death_at_Midnight
05-12-2009, 10:05 PM
Hrm, maybe I am doing something wrong. I just took out my last of the vintage HISS from '83 and tried to put in a 25th HISS Driver. I didn't try to force him in there. The holster keeps getting in the way. If I do force him in, then I'll be forcing/jamming that holster through, warping the holster flap.

Anyway, I think this is my very first HISS.. still has mud caked to it, and loads of bottle rocket burn marks. Oh the memories of terrorizing the Joes on Saturday mornings :-)

05-13-2009, 09:02 AM
Hmm... I don't think I crammed the holster in. I'll look at it when I get home from work today, and let you know!

Ok, so I am sitting at the Disney World "Carribean Beach Resort" right now enjoying my much needed vacation. I am quite pleased to finally be able to check my mail and the site.

I also would like to say that I have purchased my very first Sigma 6 figure. I picked up Snake Eyes at a local collector store (not Vader's... his was closed that day) I am quite pleased with him... pics and such of my vaction to follow once I return home on the 19th.

Tomarrow I am heading over to downtown Disney to hit up a few shops and then back to the East Coast (Rockledge/Melbourne Area) and stop by Vader's store.

See you all then.

John dude.. it sounds like your having a blast! :D

I just won an auction on ebay for a GIJOE figures & vehicles small lot, in the picture I can see:
Frostbite, Crimson Guard, Stalker, Short Fuze, Shipwreck, Clutch, Hawk, Quick Kick, Firefly, Destro, Roadblock, Alpine, Footloose, Buzzer, Wild Bill, Major Bludd, Gung-Ho, Cobra Soldier, Beach Head, Cobra Commander, Eels, Stinger Driver, Tele Vipers, Snow Serpent and weapons with an incomplete Night Attack Stinger.

The auction was competitive, and with 24 or so v1 figures i almost didnt win. the equivalent came to about £2 per figure which isn't so bad. Probably would of gone higher had all of them been complete.
Here is the link.
GIJOE lot (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=110385367097)

I cant wait to get this lot in and inspect them. :)

Well, today I received two nice packages.

One had a Mortal Kombat Liu Kang, an Urban 6-pack Firefly, a 1997 Snow Job (no gear for any of em) and a Devil's Due-style Comic Pack Storm Shadow (whose body will be used for a custom... while his weaponry went on my Greatest Battles Stormy).

The other package had two 2001 Laser-Vipers, two Comic Pack Red Ninjas, two Tele-Vipers (one with a busted crotch, sadly), a Crimson Guard Commander and a Storm Shadow Unmasked. Aside from Storm Shadow, and the Red Ninjas having their kama, none of them had any weapons.

Still, a nice haul for a day... I just wish this wasn't the second time I ordered a few Tele-Vipers only to find out one of them had a busted crotch...

So, two more days til my vacation ends. :(

On a positive note I made it to the "Hobby House" (Vader's Store) and scored a Sigma 6 CC with Silver cape, a "Action Heroes" Snake-Eyes, and a few other things.

The store is coming along well and if I had the extra cash with me I would have probably ended up paying his bills for the next year with all the things I would have bought. His prices are really good and his selection is great too. Thanks again Dave, it was good to meet you.

Just waiting for my orders to come in. In the meantime, I found some new Star Wars figures, bought another Princess Leia, and a Rebel Hoth soldier. The Hoth figure has potential for a small army build as use as some country's local attempt to resist Cobra in the Arctic.

Anyway, bought the last figure I need for a complete set of Star Trek: Scotty. I held up getting him since he's also included in the transporter set, which I intend to buy. I'll have have to buy some car parts so I'll have to wait on the transporter. Real Life issues, ya know, have a way to upset collecting.

Well, today was crazy. Someone tried to buy things using my credit card number out in California. Fortunately I had taken measures months ago against such things.. but it's still cause a lot of trouble, new cards, etc. And so my Joe orders for this week and last week are on hold.

So, I had to go out and buy another Resolute 5 pack. So that's two more red resolute troopers, yet another resolute CC, another black BAT, another Duke.

Ok, so over the past week I have added to my collection with a huge 1980's vehicle lot, an Earthquake, and some ARAH figures.

The Earthquake was bought on EBay for $4.99 + $10.00 for S&H, it's only missing the missiles.

The vehicle lot was two boxes for $80.00, as much as I didn't want to fork out the money, now I'm glad I did. This is from my local "toy collector".

Box 1:

GI Joe Headquarters (99% complete - missing flagpole & spotlight, I think)
VAMP (99% complete - missing gas cans)
AWE (100% complete)
APC (100% complete)
3 different mobile gun stations (all near complete)
[color=red]Sky-Striker (20% complete)[/color]
[color=red]Covergirl's Tank (near complete)[/color]
Triple-T (100% complete)
MOBAT (near complete)
[color=red]Sgt. Slaughter V1 (mint - minus weapons)[/color]
[color=red]Covergirl V1 (mint- minus weapons)[/color]
[color=red]Duke V1 (near mint - broken O-Ring)[/color]

[color=red]Cobra Ferret (near complete)[/color]
[color=red]Cobra ASP (missing canopy)[/color]
Cobra Rattler (missing "windows")
Cobra HISS V1 (missing stickers)

Box 2:

[color=red]Killer Whale (20% complete)[/color]
[color=red]Space Shuttle (small one - 15% complete)[/color]
[color=red]Phantom? (big futuristic jet thing - missing wing tips)[/color]

[color=red]Cobra Python "Conquest" (missing missiles)[/color]
Cobra Night Raven (missing tail fins & scout jet)
[color=red]Cobra Hammerhead (10% complete)[/color]

Anything in red I'm willing to part with, just make an offer if you are interested.

Greetings!

Bought two droids. Target has some 3 3/4" R2 and R5 units that are remote controlled (infrared). They move straight, turn, sounds, lights. The units are better quality than the regular toy.

Picked up the classic blue/white R2 droid, and the black R2 empire version. Pretty good for fun at the office.

[QUOTE=Prince Adam]Do they work really well? I was thinking about getting one for my brother.[/QUOTE]


Yes, they do work well. However, movement is simple, just two buttons on the controller: straight and rotate (rotate right i think). The speed is rather quick, especially the turning. Works best on a level surface. The turning/rotation is pretty narrow, so let's say you find the droid up against a wall, when you turn the unit reverses slightly then rotates. Can get out of jams well.

One con: the two main legs do not move. They are fixed/molded into the body. If the angle of the legs were a little more back, it would give the unit more stability when the droid is turning. That turning can be very quick that it can cause the droid to fall over. Not offten, but has happened several times.

Each unit is on a different frequency/band, so you can have one of each and they won't interfere with each other.

Future plans, I hope to buy another black one and paint it Cobra colors. ;-)

Well, it's a hilarious story.

See, when the first pictures of Universe Cheetor popped up, he was pretty badly mistransformed... I got in an argument with another guy about whether or not he'd suck, and I maintained my position that he would not suck. He ended up asking me if I was willing to bet on that, I agreed, and the bet was for a Deluxe-class figure of the winner's choice. He eventually conceded even before Cheetor came out and ordered me Special Edition Dragstrip from HTS.
When he finally got around to mailing that to me, for some reason he decided to throw in Darkwing as an "apology for taking so long to ship it", in spite of the fact that I never even bothered him about it.

So yeah.

Blizzard was actually in better condition that I was expecting and I've got his helmet around somewhere. Dodger I'm not too sure about, he may just wind up being a random vehicle driver, and Taurus' head will likely go to 'Nok. The other 15 are fairly forgettable though so I didn't take pics.

My brother had Fort America when we were kids and a cousin of ours did as well. The three of us were never too impressed with it. The concept is interesting, but the delivery is a bit lacking.

I got a mostly complete '86 Wetsuit today so now I finally have a complete one! Just gotta get some water....

Ok, where to begin... I started out this morning by heading to TRU. When I got there they hadn't put out the ROC stuff yet and didn't plan on it till Monday since they were understaffed for the weekend. Well, long story short... the manager let me raid the "U-Boat" of ROC stuff while it was in the stock room before anyone else even knew it was there. I love that I use to work there.

Here's my grab... don't ask how much I spent:D ;

ROC
Firefly
Duke (desert)
Ripcord (D-6 suit)
Shipwreck
"Deep-Six" (its really Torpedo)
Covergirl
Heavy Duty (green camo)
Snake Eyes (without Trench Coat)
Destro

Viper Commando (X's 2)
Neo Viper (X's 2)
Zartan

APV Humvee w/ Nitro Viper
ATV (4-wheeler) w/ Scrap-Iron (X's 2)
Gun Ship w/ Firefly (X's 3)
Night Raven w/ Strato-Viper


I feel like I'm forgeting stuff, but I think thats it.

Oh wow! You got some I've been hunting for: Firefly, desert duke, Baroness. I don't intend to get the vehicles just yet. A lot of 25th stuff on clearance to buy first.

Gosh, I'm jealous!

So, are all TRU's supposed to place these out on Monday? I went to TRU here yesterday.. Friday.. no life in the place.

ender098
07-04-2009, 10:43 PM
Lucked out and one of the local TRU's had some of the Movie stuff. Got Heavy Duty in Armor, Ripcord in Accelerator suit, Shipwreck, Firefly, Sgt Stone and Deep six. They had more, but I didn't like Scarlett, Desert Duke, Cobra Commander, Either Version of Storm Shadow (too "Reloaded" looking for me!) or the Vipers (look like Cleitus from Flash Gordon!). And what is this Zartan? Ughn? BBQ is like a neon yellow. Are BBQ, Shipwreck and Deepsix (Torpedo) even in the movie?

They also had the new armadillo (called the Panther), the new ferret, the Bora machines (wanted one, but NOT forking over $16.99 for one!) The Pit, the new snow mobile (nice, but $16.99!) The noght raven and the gunship (for like $22). It's bad enough the movie is Probably gonna suck, but can they quit gouging us at the register?

The good news is Target has ever other GI Joe on clearence....bad news is, the E-scalpers have drained most of the targets here dry!

Oh, I just opened Deep Six and I keep thinking "DOCTOR" Fumbles!! LOL

been toying around with it a bit today, I think I have some fun ideas for it. :)

Death_at_Midnight
07-05-2009, 06:38 PM
Hunted around, got the following:

ROC Breaker (second for custom)
ROC Destro (can anyone explain why that big gun breaks in two?)
ROC Viper-Commando (second one)
ROC Firefly (essentially a resolute trooper with FF head. Excellent for customs)
ROC Barbeque (sp?) (with two guns.. now he can put out fires and shoot survivors if they're cobras)
25th Tripwire (for customs)

There was nothing else new at Target or TRU in terms of figures. However, lots of vehicles. I almost got the Steel Crusher, but primary reason, this week I need to continue army building Resolute Troopers, and the second reason is I didn't like the ROC figure with the vehicle. But maybe I might break down and buy it tomorrow.

I got ROC Firefly today. Great accessories: falcons knife and backpack, and the flashlight, multi-tool, and gas can from comic pack FF. Also Beachhead's rifle with removable clip, the clip bag, and an extra clip. The body is resolute trooper with airborne's vest. Plus the goggles and an EEL head i think. Pretty cool fig.

Death_at_Midnight
07-06-2009, 10:26 PM
Bought my second ROC Firefly today. Got it specifically for customs because it's a resolute trooper, really, with FF's head from one of the comic packs. But slap on a resolute trooper's helmet and you got yourself a trooper nearly perfect for urban warfare. So tonight out came the paint and city camo.....

Greetings mortals!

Also made another run to Target today, with the intent of raiding it, but it seems I had already gotten most of the ROC's they had to offer. However, this time I was able to get the following:

ROC Storm Shadow.
ROC Baroness (attack of the pit version)
ROC Neo-Viper Commando (just buying these one at a time, no rush)

Tomorrow TRU is getting a shipment in, they might have more ROC's. But I'm waiting for that sale later this month I keep hearing about, and it'll be right after payday... hehe.. TRU won't know what'll hit 'em. *evil grin*

Mole-pod - Expensive for what it is, but it's actually fairly neat. It'll be fun to paint it and really weather it down. A sub-terrainian (sp?) force should probably be interesting for dios.

So I went to walmart last night.
The display was gone from the middle of the isle but they had them set up in a regular isle. I bought the night raven,another gunship,steel crusher and Camo Scarlett.
The night Raven is really cool.I didn't have ythe original so I can't compare the 2 but the lights and sounds and the semi automatic firing missles are awesome.For the $50 I paid, its worth it.I will do a review of it later today.

Steel crusher is ok.Might use it as a prisoner transport for Cobra.

Have 2 Gunships now.2 things I don't like are 1. No Propeller.Should have it and 2. Hard to sit anyone in the back.Seems too small to fit a fig in there nicely.

he's Croc-Master repainted... I have no desire to have another Croc-Master, repaint or not, one is enough.


On another note... bought the "Ice Saber" today... pics are to come soon, but I've been quite busy packing.

Actually, his arms and legs come from Serpentor, which gives him a taller, more imposing frame.

According to the package, he was originally intended to be entirely made from Serpentor with Croc Master's head, but Hasbro seems to have changed their mind (probably because they had nothing to replace Serpy's skirt with).

Neo-Viper

Almost picked up the Crimson Neo-Viper, but passed. The Pit Commando is awesome! The gear alone makes it worthwhile.

I feel you man, I turn 30 this year and I still have to deal with "other-half" quite often when it comes to my collection.

Also grabbed two more Ice-Vipers and another Elite Viper.

I don't have an "other-half" yet.. but will be adding her to my collection this December/January. So far she likes the Joe collection I now have and has triggered a creative streak in her as well, but mostly in terms of business.

New additions to the Joe collection:
ROC Baroness (for customs)
SW Princess Leia
25th AWE (was on clearance for $12)

I picked up Helix and an Ice Viper yesterday. Most impressive. I had to pass on Flash, Pit Commando, and the ROC EEL cuz I didnt have much cash on me. I would get the Flash and the Commando if I see them again. The EEL was underwhelming.

[QUOTE=ThinkTank]The EEL was underwhelming.[/QUOTE]


Agreed. The ROC EEL leaves a lot lacking. However, the spring loaded canon shooter thing is useful.. it resembles one of those underwater self-propelled things a diver will hold to move around without swimming. But in a way, it also looks like it might have been designed to look like a torpedo. But anyway....

There is no "Wet-Down".

ROC Wet-Suit is being released as a Target exclusive with that Wave Crusher thing from Spy Troops, but when some factory workers stole samples of the figure they neglected to grab the gear, so they slapped ROC Flash's mask on it, and some people were all "OMG WET-DOWN" or some dumb thing like that.
But ROC Wet-Suit's mold and gear are identical to the ones from the Attack Of Cobra Island 7-pack.
