  1. I think the Alley-Viper has been done to death. If you don't have an army of those by now you haven't been trying. The Viper is sort of in the same boat but it would be nice to get them in decent colors. The v27 or whatever it is Viper with the red vest was OK but I only saw one of those in my area.

  2. You've probably been asked this a billion times, but which is better in your opinion, the old gi joes or the new ones. By this I mean the 80's to mid 90's figures or the comic 3 pack figures compared to the spy troops/valor vs. venom/early 2000 gijoe figures. I like the older bodies because they seem to work better for gijoe, but I love the detail on the new ones too so it's hard to decide.

     

    What do you prefer new or old?

    I'm with you. It's difficult to decide. Some of those new figures have a level of detail that puts the old figures to shame, but at the same time some of the new ones have funky proportions and really loose joins.

  3. Let me say first off that ToysRUs.Com is terribly organized. Everything is just random and mixed up on there.

     

    I ordered just one of the Siegie packs seeing as how I'm not interested in the Firefly- makes no sense for him to be in this pack - really and don't need TOO many Siegies. I figure what I'll do is just buy the other Twin off of somebody seperately and maybe even sell the Firefly myself. Half-way decent weapons with these I will say.

     

    The Green Shirt pack is cool but there is too much facial hair going on for my taste. I ordered 1.

  4. I think that when this guy heard the rumor that the comic was going to be rebooted with an all-new continuity he decided to start a sort of political movement for the cause of keeping it how it is (O-Ring MIA anyone?). I think you guys are being to hard on this person. Why anyone is confused as to if it is about the comics or connvention set is beyond me as it specifically says "comic".

  5. I posted a topic about the exact same thing no less than a couple of months ago. Great minds think alike. Some variations but your idea is great. Its a long shot though. I think the main problem would be that it would be brutally obvious that the WWE controls everything...

    Yeah, but the idea would not be a "I'm going to put you out of buisness!" type thing. It would really be no different than how the RAW and Smackdown! brands are now. Only they would both air on the same night (and for an hour, at the same time). The last thing I would want to see if a situation where we are supposed to believe that the two brands are not under the same roof.

     

    WWE RAW

    WWE NITRO

    WWE EXTREME

     

    3 different "flavors" of World Wrestling Entertainment.

  6. OK I know this kind of topic has about been done to death but I have been thinking of a way in which you could bring back WCW and ECW and have it work . . . well sort of . .

     

    First disolve the Smackdown! brand and intrigrate in into the RAW brand.

     

    Then create an all-new "Nitro" brand (simply "Nitro", not WCW).

     

    I'd put the WWE World Heavyweight, Cruiserweight, United States and World Tag Team champions with their belts on the Nitro brand.

     

    It would also make sense to make Eric Bishoff it's General Manager.

     

    The WWE, Intercontinental, Women's and WWE Tag champions and their belts would stay on RAW.

     

    The RAW brand would remain on SpikeTV (or possibly jump back to USA) while the Nitro brand would air on a rival station (preferably TNT or TBS but any station other than the one RAW is on would work).

     

    During the hour before RAW airs now the Nitro brand would air LIVE on it's respective station. RAW would then air LIVE an hour into Nitro on it's respective station (meaning wrestling would be on an hour later than it is now). The WWE would be competing with itself for an hour therefore forcing it's fans to choose which show to watch during that time. While during the Monday Night War some WWF fans may have just said "to hell with WCW" and just watched the WWF - now they would not have that luxery.

     

    The WWE could actually publish the actual ratings results to the fans with the creative teams for each brands trying to out-do the other with their main (Nitro) and half-time (RAW) events.

     

    Right now there is somewhat of a "RAW is better than Smackdown!" or "Smackdown! is better than RAW" type argument amongst WWE fans but this would be nothing compared to what the debate would be like if two WWE brands aired at the same time (for an hour anyway).

     

    I'd also like to see a THIRD "Extreme" brand (not ECW though you know the ECW chants would live on) that would air (taped) on Thursday nights. This Extreme brand would be a reborn ECW (complete with it's original championship belts) and I'd actually put Paul E. himself in charge of everything for the most part. I doubt it would float on UPN as it would only really work if you had some bloody, violent, hardcore matches taking place.

     

    Of course all 3 brands would share the BIG PPVs as well as having their own.

     

    RAW and Nitro's PPVs would alternate each month and I see the Extreme brand having like only 4 a year (which would mean 2 WWE PPVs in 1 month 4 times a year). I also invision Wrestlmania being partly a Nitro vs RAW vs Extreme event with dream matches between superstars from the rival brands.

     

    Of course the big hurdle in this would be finding another station to air the Nitro brand live as well as finding a station that would let the Extreme brand do what it would need to do.
