Worst Rah Rerelease? Headman
Best Vehicle? Nac
Worst Vehicle? Assualt quad
Best thing about vehicles: design, the basic idea, a nice chopper, 4wheeler, that kind of thing.

Worst wave: wave 1
Week 4:
Most wanted Vehicle Rerelease: Whale
Most liked gvc troop: Iron Grenider
Most need gvc troop: Basic Cobra solider (vipers and officers got a good amount of votes too so it seems we want to go back to the basics)
Troop that most deserves an army builder pack: Vipers (many said whatever is in the pack like vipers or neo vipers or soliders need to be in there orginal paint scheme)
How often should a charater be made (or repainted) in one year: 2 (in total)
Final set:
Your most wanted joe (since where getting lady j) Rock n' roll won a huge victory
Length between waves: 2months won but 3 months was just a SINGLE vote away.
Old logo: 93% want it back and no one wanted to keep it, some just didn't care
Play sets: 80% want some jvc playsets while others don't or are iffy.
Cobra vehicles: 100% want more cobra vehicles. Thats saying something.
It Playoff time in the NFL.
The regular season is over and now the road to the Super Bowl begin to the NFL Playoff. This weekend were are some wild card games.
Saturday
Colts at NY Jets 4:30pm
Falcons at Packers 8pm
Sunday
Browns at Steelers 1pm
NY Giants at 49ers 4:30pm
I think the Jets, Packers, Steelers, and the 49ers will win this weekend. This is why Football is a better sports then Baseball because you can get into the games.
ftwp what to do with extra figs
For those who play with the toys i was wondering what you do with your extra figs. The ones you have two of, or a different version you don't like and stuff like that.
I have made a few customs, given some to my girlfreind, frozen and then melted another and i'm just curious about everyone else.
ftw army build joes
For those of you who army build joes 3.75 toys have the joe keychains wich are real cheap and the key chain is removable and you have a nice generic troop. thought you might wanna know.
I GIVE UP
I NO LONGER COLLECT GIJOES BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WILL NOT BRING EM TO CANADA. SO I AM NOT GOING TO BE ON THIS FORM ANYMORE. CIYA PPLS :(
Online stores...
What is a good trustworthy online store to buy small Gi Joes??? I dont mean any of the big retail online stores like KB Wal Mart etc. Could you all give me some feedback both positive and negative on some online stores that sell Joes please.
Reminder to Zoids fans...
Don't forget that Cartoon Network is airing the last four Chaotic Century episodes Saturay at 1:00 pm on their Saturday Toonami block. It's about friggin' time
A clear Zartan?!?!?

How cool is this? Just found this over at Quick's Theatre.
"Toys: Thanks to John Missal for reporting that Master Collector members who are active as of February 16 will be able to order a clear Zartan 3.75" figure. The price of the first figure is $5.00 and each additional figure is $20.00, and if you live in Texas and have not joined the club, sales tax will be added to the membership fees, which start at $36 per year. To order the figure and join the Master Collector club, please call 1-800-772-6673."
I wonder which version it will be. JvC (I hope not), Original, Ninja Force, or god fordid, the 97 version.
so do you think you might get it?
How do I remove the sound tab on The Rattler?
I have had this thing since it fist came out, but never paid it any mind. I can't stand that sound tab because I can't stand the plane on its wheels. Is there a way to remove this thing? I'm afraid I'll break it.
Repainting a Chap Mei Helo Transport (big pics)
The only one Rite-Aid had left was the Rescue variety, whuch is this neon red/orange. Not exactly stealthy.
So I'm repainting it. Here's what I'm starting with:

Recommended Fantasy reading (Books! Crazy!)
Hey, it's a book forum too, so I figured there should be at least one book thread one the first page...
In no particular order, here's what I've enjoyed. Feel free to add what you will.
The Fionavar Tapestry by Guy Gavriel Kay - a good, relatively short, Canadian read. It was 3 books originally but if you pick it up you'll likely only find the collected trilogy. Warning: if you like to have a set system of rules for magic and the nature of things, this book will piss you off. It's... shall we say, mercurious at the best of times.
The Sword of Truth by Terry Goodkind - a simple woodsman and his lady love are drawn into broader and more threatening situations each book. An interesting look at ethics and even the metaphysical nature of humanity. The first book is amazing, even as a standalone.
The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan - you had to know it was coming. By far the most involved fantasy series currently being written. Book 10 (of hopefully only 12, according to the author) is due out January 7th. Each time you re-read this one you'll find more hints as to who's who, what's what, and the huge scope imagined. I don't think it can finish in 12 books, personally.
The Saga of Recluce by LE Modesitt Jr. - a temporally disorganized series with a plausible and fascinating system of "magic". Book one is chronologically one of the last books in the series. It truly is a Saga as it follows 1000s of years of history in their world. New characters (almost) every book, but each one is fully believable and human.
Dune by Frank Herbert - it's hailed as the Sci-Fi classic for a reason. Hell, even the movie of it (with William Hurt) isn't that bad. For the first 50 pages or so of the first book, don't get discouraged, it totally picks up. if you haven't read it, do so.
A Song of Ice & Fire by George R.R. Martin - intrigue, incest, and innocence make for a very compelling storyline in this world where Summer and Winter last years at a time. Some of you may wish to take out a hit on Martin at certain points, but it's all apurpose. The characters are lovable, despicable, and anywhere in between. I'm rooting for Arya Stark. Book 4 due out April Fool's Day.
The Death Gate Cycle by Margaret Weiss & Tracy Hickman - Two warring races of magic users do the unthinkable and unmake the world. Long ago the world was Sundered into four, one for each of the base elements, and the only way between the worlds is the Death Gate. This series would be worth reading for nothing more than the way each of the worlds work and how they were intended to. Very cool.
The Sword/Heritage/First King of Shannara by Terry Brooks - I don't terribly recommend the Jerle Shannara series. It hasn't been performing as well as I'd have liked. Read the Sword series (the first sword which glows white when you kill somebody you forgive), then Heritage, then First King. All you'll have to say afterwards is "Damn!" It's that good.
Starshield by Margaret Weiss & Tracy Hickman - Not a sword and armor fantasy, but still very fascinating. The universe it not so universal as we believe. It is broken into many areas where different rules of nature apply. In one place, magic might be possible and in another nothing but thought may be needed to travel. Temporal Fold Processors make it possible to answer any question by sending questions back in time so that they have as long as they have been active to compute the answer. A neat premise. May now be defunct.
12" Cobra CLAWS
I just looked at the pictures and thought this wouls have been a GREAT figure if they had only bothered to give him a damn SHIRT.
This painted arm/torso crap simply has to GO.
don't you wish JVC 12" were made like this....

hey gang? i was just at blue box toys and i bought this 12" snipper/assassin. i couldn't resist man, the detail is so unbelievable, i had to buy this dude. check it out:
once you go on the link click on ELITE FORCE and on the next page click on ELITE FORCE TERMINATE. the guy in the middfe is who i just bought, click on the picture and see for yourself how badass this dude looks. here's the link: www.blueboxtoys.com/bbi/F_bbi.html
i know they couldn't make JVC 12' this detailed because of the kids but i wish they would do a "hall of fame" series again and make them this detailed! - i can't wait until this sucker comes in the mail!!
Just got wave 5 and HOLY SMOKES!!!
I know a couple other guys in here got wave 5 and I might be echoing what they said but man how SWEET is this wave. I even like the new packaging, HOW BAD do I want to army build the new iron grenadiers!!!!!! If you don't like to army build this figure will change your mind. I ordered mine online so I'll wait till I see them in the stores to build my grenadier army. AWWWW MAN its sweet, I don't think anybody will complain about this wave, oh yeah is anybody else having problems with barrel roll holding on to his bar on the glider? It looks like he's getting strangled. :cry:
