  1. Where's the emoticon flipping the bird? @smilepunch@
  2. Well as of right now, it is only about 13 hours old.. and yeah... it hurts... Hurt like a MOTHER getting it done to... My first tattoo on my back didn't hurt NEARLY this bad.
  3. I have no idea what got in to me... but I DID IT!
  4. I'm a pretty harsh critic when is comes to customs but I have to tell you I don't think these are all that bad. Not perfect by any means, but not as horrible as you make them sound tom. Yeah, he's charging WAY too much for them, but I have seen much worse.
  5. That is effing rediculous! 120,000 is a freaking house! I hate AFA. It makes people stupid.
  6. Eh... RAH classic sculpt. I could care less. Bring on some 25th molds and then we can talk
  7. I know.. I'm just anal and OCD. Really the only thing I took exception to was your opinions on the New Sculpt stuff. Granted, you're right, but I prefer to let each fan decide these things for themselves. @hmmm@ Just ribbin ya. Your list is better. It was what i was trying to say but didn't feel like putting that much effort in to it. Nice job.
  8. When Enterprise came out I watch about 3/4 of seaon 1 before I finally gave up on it and stopped watching it. It was pretty horrible. I recently caught the rest of seaon 1 and all of seaon 2 in reruns and I wasn't hating it. It still bothered me and I still thought it was the worst of all Star Trek series but at least it was Star trek and I have been Trek starved as of late. I would have continued watching it if the SciFi Channel hadn't stopped aring it as regulary. But i'll be honest... I'm not missing it. If I never see the rest of them, I won't feel like my life is incomplete but if I have the oppertunity to see the rest of the series I will probably watch it.
  9. Bla bla bla... Mine was good enough... @smilepunch@
  10. Lets see... Easy way to explain it. You have several eras of 3 3/4" GI Joe: RAH - Real American Hero - 1982-1994 ARAH - Anniversery - 1996-1998, 200-2001 - Repaints of RAH figures JVC - Joe vs Cobra 2002 - Think Neo-vipers with t-crotches, sound attack weapons and horrible proportion problems ST - Spy Troops - 2003 - Better proportions but still horrible in a lot of cases, better gemick but still not perfect VvV - Valor vs Venom - 2004 - The Joes shrunk a bit, proportions were still getting better, some great figures DTC - Direct to consumer - 2005 - 4 waves of figures and a hand full of vehicles (Some of which were awesome), Mostly repaints of VvV figures New Sculpt - JVC, ST, VvV and DTC all lumped under one umbrella 25th/Modern Era - What you currently see on shelves. No o-ring Now you know...
  11. I'll spell it out... I'm gay. (As is Jase BTW). When i said to someone "Thanks for straightening me out" Jase laughed... There... Its not funny any more.. LOL
  12. I have to agree. this set is not so great. I'm only going to get it for the Bludd. Everything else here is pretty usless. Though i do like the idea of pulling some head swaps and making a desert theme BBQ and Flash/Grand Slam.
  13. Yes... I was fully aware of the irony in my post when i wrote it!
  14. Am I the only one that thinks these are a waste of time? VvV/DTC is dead. Old news. i was about as big of a fan of those as you could get, but as soon as the 25th line started up, I sold off all of my VvV/DTC era figures. These are a big PASS from me.
  15. I want to see a REAL preview before I get excited about this. I'm certainly not one of those that is complaining about this movie ruining Star Trek cannon. I am fully ready to embrace the change. I really like the casting they have done in this movie. I love most everything JJ Abrams has done so i am hopefull... But in all honesty... I'm not really all that excited about this movie yet. From what little we have seen from leaked pics and such, I haven't been left with an overwhelming sense of excitment. And i have never been a big fan of Star Trek moving backwards. Prequels just seem so anti Star trek to me. But if this is a complete reimagining I think I'll be okay. I just hope they don't try to fit this in to established cannon. I just see that turning out VERY badly. Time will tell I guess. Really looking forward to seeing a preview. Then maybe I'll jump on the band wagon.
  16. How many rifles did that set come with? I thought it was just one... But now you got me thinking I may have missed them in the packaging. I can't for the life of me remember pulling out file cards or figure stands from those boxes! Did I throw them away? DOH! But yeah.. If you have extras, I'd greatly appriciate it! I kinda like the brown from those sets. Much more cartoon accurate. Snake Eyes and Stalker came packaged holding them in the MASS device set. None in the weather Dominator set. *whew* I thought for a second there I threw away the packaging and didn't take everything out before i did. Thanks for setting me straight

  18. Maybe I'm just very forgiving but out of those four you mention the only one I really have a problem with is Ace, who I just find irredeemably ugly and the absolute worst figure of the line so far. I'm perfectly satisfied with that Destro and my only problem with Gung Ho is that, like Falcon, his camo is too washed out. Plus, that unnecessary hinge in his gun makes it hopelessly flimsy. I haven't bought an Armadillo yet so I can't completely comment on Steeler. My expectations based on the pics is that while he may not look much like the original Steeler, he might still succeed as a perfectly acceptable generic Joe. It's pretty much how I feel about Grunt, the biggest disappointment of the original thirteen. Well Ace is, as you have said, pretty aweful. His paint aps make absoultly no sense for the sculpt. Seriously. REALLY look at the sculpt and where the paint aps are and you will see what I meam. Plus his head sculpt is pretty bad too I really wanted to like Steeler and not let it bother me that he looks nothing like the original but I just can't get past it. All the other Original 13 we have gotten so far are pretty damn good updates (I don't even mind Grunt... though I have switched Grunts head and web gear on to the comic pack green shirt Duke body and it makes him MUCh better IMO). Steeler is just BAD. His head is way to big. Looks like his brain is sweeling to big for his skull. And there is just nothing about his body that even slightly resembles the original. Gung Ho really isn't THAT bad and he is starting to grow on me... but his hands are horrible. Gung Ho's hands to me are a million times worse than the dreaded duke arms. Strange but even though I HATE them on Gung Ho, they don't bother me on the DD Storm Shadow or Torch. But for whatever reason I HATE them on Gung Ho. Those Arms ruin him. And Destro V1 is a clunker also because of his hands... That one hand irritates me to no end. And the way his arms stick out and can't be pushed back bothers me too. I can't seem to get him in to a decent pose at all. Those 4 are by far the worst of the line to me.
  19. I have to agree with you. He's not as bad as everyone says. THere are worse 25th figures (Ace, Steeler, Gung Ho, Destro V1). Falcon doesn't bother me that much. He's not perfect but he doesn't suck.
  20. Are the cast copies decent? I think they'd be fine. How many you got? What do you want for them?
  21. Cool! What do you want for them?
  22. Cool. I'm not alone in my cartoon laser rifle obsession! I have been trying to figure out what sort of laser rifle i want to arm my Cobra troops with but i can't seem to find anything I'm crazy about. Marauder has some good stuff but I'm not really "in love" with any of their options. Any one have any suggestions? I love the cartoon rifles that came with Tomax and Xamot but as far as I know that rifle was only available with them. (I also think the same rifle came in brown with one of the DVD packs).
  23. Yep. I have a few from both eras. There is no difference.
  24. Thanks Joe! No rush. I'd appriciate whatever you can do!
  25. Hey guys. I've always been a big fan of the old sunbow cartoon and I always tend to think with a cartoon mindset whe I'm "playing" Joes. As such I have always been a huge fan of the laser gun that all the joes from the toon carried around with them. So I twas thinking how cool would it be for ALL my 25th joes to be out fitted with that gun... Unfortunately I can oly find about 12 of them in my collection. Anyone have some spare guns they wouldn't mind shipping my way? If you can hook me up with a LOT of them (30 or more) I have 2 big plastic baggies full of random weapons and gear (JvC, SpyTroops, VvV, DTC era weapons) I wouldn't mind trading for them. Just out of curiosity (and to try to avoid having this thread move to the trade forum @smilepunch@ ) what do you guys think about the laser rifles from the toon, aka snow job's gun? I personally have always loved his design.
