Scored a 2003 convention Major Storm and Lady Jaye last week and they finally arrived today. Unfortunatly I need to completly redo the paintjob on Jaye's eyes because they were way off . Worse than funskool . Also the seller sent me Falcon's filecard instead of major storm's

That's a great score, Scar! Sucks about the fc though and Jaye's eyes. The Joes from that set are fairly underrated, imo. Everyone goes apesplat over the Crimson Vipers and the Joes get no love.

Just swap the head with a Comic Pack Lady Jaye head.
Also, while this isn't a Joe booty, I still feel I need to show this off.
I've just obtained a HasbroToyShop exclusive Transformers Universe Special Edition Drag Strip and a Toys'r'us exclusive Transformers Universe Darkwing....
And it didn't cost me a bloody dime!
(now, if only I could score myself a free Mobile Command Center somehow)

...which means there's probably someone somewhere who has a Falcon figure with Major Storm's file card! It's a shame about LJ's eyes, because those con figures are a really cool trio. Can't wait to see them in your pics Kurt.

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.
Now I need to get a 1983 GIJoe HQ or a Mobile Command Center 100% free, somehow....

You should've sent me the URL before, I'm in the same province!
I could've won this, broke even by re-selling the Night Raven and Mamba, and then set out to complete the HQ and whatever else worth completing.
