Fun with Alley Vipers

[prozac]

I finally got all I was after and had some time to take some pics of them armed and in formation. There are 6 squads. Each squad consists of:

 

1x 97 AV (squad leader)

2x wave 2 AV (second in command)

6x 1.5 AVs (grunts if you will)

 

Gristle being the group leader. Go to:

It's easy to figure out after that.

It should be working now....I just went there.

The link works and all I have to say is HOLY CRAP! That's a great display.

[Admiral Snackbar]

looks cool. love the chap mei stuff.

[prozac]

looks cool.  love the chap mei stuff.

 

I actually like that Chap Mei chopper better than a lot of Joe vehicles.

[TroyXavier]

good to see you here, Prozac. Love that display.

[Nik]

Man you must live near me cause someone has bought all the wave 1.5 alley vipers here. I've only been able to find one pack in the area.

What I want to know is what did you do with all those big-ben's! Holy Crap, Nice display, but it was missing my favorite alley-viper, the original from 1987. I think thats the best one to date, not knocking your display. Damn man, did you get those straight from 2-packs or did you trade for some of them?

[prozac]

I'm not a bug fan of the 89 AV so I didn't bother to include him in there. I prolly only bought about half of them, then traded the rest. If money wasn't an object, it would still be growing -

[Evil Count Marzo]

Thats crazy! Thats definitely a mob right there!

 

You know whats funny, I have every AV you dont have pictured. The orange/blue one, the yellow/black one, and I should be gettin the new red one in the mail soon...hopefully.

AWESOME pics of your collection Prozac, and you got me BEAT big time on the AV's! :lol:

 

I have the very same set of Chap Mei vehicles, and agree with the other post, about them looking MUCH better than say...some of the latest G.I.Joe/Johnny Quest vehicles we've seen lately. There's a Tomahawk looking troop carrier, in the "Freedom Force" line as well, that looks VERY cool, and a large tank with bulldozer like blades on the front of it coming soon also. Haven't seen either of the 2 as yet, but they will definitely look good with the Joe figures.

 

This Chap Mei stuff, doesn't seem to have trouble flying off the shelves at most the Big Lots I see them sold in. I wonder why Hasbro feels they have to bend over for the retailers, by adding "gimmicks" to the vehicles and such, in order to have them declared "acceptable for shelf space"..? :-?

 

Cool yet..quite simple, is this stuff. I wish it could be moreso with the actual Hasbro made Joe goodies, but..oh well. :roll:

 

When I get myself setup with a photoshop, I'll have to post some pics of my MANY Cobra and Joe forces for ya as well, I don't have the mega army you've got there, but I think you'll be impressed!

"Duhhh..LOUIE!"...READS TUH ME WHAT'S ON DUH PURDY PAPER!" :lol:

 

Thanks Tom, I knew you had to have SOME kind of thought about'em.

[Tom-1]

Heh heh heh, it was actually pretty impressive, but I'm not a big fan of any recolors, so I dunno where I stand...

 

It really makes me question what the heck Hasbro was thinking about with the original orange and blue Alley Viper.

That was awesome! Your Alley-Viper army is hardcore and definitely one of the best I've seen. You also have a great formula as well. It looks very nice. Did you buy all of the AVs in two-packs? That is alot of two-packs!

 

If you get a chance post a picture of your Big Ben army! Thanks for the pics!

[Outsiders]

I'll have to check it out one of these days...

[GENERAL]

I thought I had alot of alley vipers. (20 Blue) and (4 Red) I was planning on setting up 3 squads with

 

6 Blue Alley Viper

2 Red Alley Viper

1 Yellow Alley Viper

 

That what my squads will look like.

Well, don't hold your breath too long for the tank, chances are it won't be released in these parts. I've been frantically searching for the Chinook for a couple months now to no avail

I traded for little less than half of the alley Vipers, I would be a extremely broken man had I bought them all(borken 2 ways: money wise, and my wife woulda broken my limbs LOL)

 

As far as a Big Ben army, I only have about 4 of each version left. I traded off some of them...didn't need them all.

 

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys! I'm glad you enjoye dthe pics!

1x 97 AV (squad leader)

2x wave 2 AV (second in command)

6x 1.5 AVs (grunts if you will)

 

36 1.5 AVs x $8 + 12 2.0 AV x $8

 

I think Hasbro is doing reasonably well with this new line.
