MAAAANNNNN, I'm up late and happened to check out the forums and saw this topic and decided to jump on. Back in 2002 when the JvC line was JUST starting up I found this cool little forum called "American Dream Comics" and I totally owe my early Joe collecting years (buying back my childhood) to this forum and the guys that were around here back then. Seriously, I LEARNED so much from this forum...now 14 years later what started as "Aw man GI Joe is back!" is now a whole room dedicated in my house to the franchise. I've mostly moved on to Facebook and Twitter in the last 4 years or so....slowly moving away from the forums. I still check TNI everyday for toy news......but the fact that there hasn't been much news over the last couple years hasn't helped either. Those days were great though....this forum was bumping back then.

Nova is up for pre-order on Amazon right now for $21.99....available on the 17th of July.

Yeah, I went to 2 Wal-marts yesterday and saw those GOTG middle aisle displays.......I saw 5 Nova's yesterday......FIVE of them.....these things are going to be everywhere in the next week me-thinks.

"Go, Go, Go it's....!!!!!" COBRA!!!!! I'm liking Cross Country....but not for 45 bucks......its a cool figure....I just want to know what the price is on that Snow Havoc? Then maybe they'll have my attention.....

No, no, no, no.......I liked Nolan's "Bat-verse" for what it was.......but lets move on. Caught DKR on HBO the other night again.....watched most of it. (I have it on blu too, but nothing else was on, had to watch) its pretty boring IMO. It doesn't stand up to multiple viewings......I think he caught lightning in a bottle with TDK......that and Ledger was brilliant....(which no one saw coming) I'm still not really happy about the was DC is approaching Batman v. Superman anyway......starting with the title "Batman VS. Superman" kinda bugs me......why do they have to be enemies...or fighting each other?? Not that they haven't in the past.....but I really have no faith in DC and WB capturing this the same way the books have done their relationship so well over the years. Whenever they have fought in the past there was a reason for them coming to blows over stuff.....not just a misunderstanding or whatever stupid reason they'll have them in this movie. also for the record I have no problem with Affleck as Bats......i don't trust WB and DC when it comes to their movies.......MOS was great eye-candy and had some really cool parts but it was "all jacked up on MT. DEW!!!" way too much.

UGGGHHH.....lame. Spent 200 bucks on one back in July...I had a feeling that we would never see it released. I'm kinda surprised that its still available but from what I've seen on ebay its not really going for much more than $150. The hype is completely gone for this thing too......the word is out too. Its been front page on most Joe sites for most of the day.

I got my Night-Viper yesterday in the mail with Jinx and Blind-Master.........the Night-Viper is a thing of beauty.......seriously. Great figure.....

Thats crazy......just got a notification that my Night-Viper/Jinx/ Blind-master have shipped from HTS......so who knows when THOSE figures will hit retail?

I stopped at 4 Walgreen's while out the other day.....all but one had a Wave 1 Roadblock and a Red Ninja/Zartan......only 1 actually had a Ultimate Roadblock......and that was all that was sitting on the peg. I already have these from BBTS....but I would like another Cobra Ninja Soldier....trooper thing.

DD is one of those movies that kinda got a bad rap over the years....but I remember when it was released most people liked it from what I remember......

Awesome man! I downloaded it.....sounds really good and the beats are NICE!! Loving the Biggie samples too.....plus the Joe lyrics are funny and flow together really well. "Rank and File" is unreal.....that "Joe beat" sample is serious.....

I'm hoping to start seeing these in the mail soon?

I didn't get one either....but I did snag a couple other figures I needed when I pre-ordered the other 3. I picked up Retaliation Snake-Eyes and Joe Colton......I got Snake-eyes in the mail yesterday and my invoice had all the figures on it and it stated that the figures will ship separately or as they come available.

Hama's sketches were hit and miss......they were all pretty good...but you can tell who he loves to draw....most of his Snake-eyes ones were pretty awesome and in depth.....they were all full torso shots too, pretty much ended at the knees.....Trimpe was at an ACTOR signing (the charity for down and out comic creators) and he was just charging a donation for one of his sketches. I have a Jim Lee Batman that he did for me awhile back......its just a headshot but its still one of my prized possessions......he whipped it up in like 2 seconds.....anybody that goes to Cons and doesn't hit up artist alley is really missing out.....this past Philly I met Joe Del Beato who did a lot of the card art for the 90's Joe trading card set....he had a ton of sketches from his 90's GI Joe work......

Yeah, I've met a bunch of wrestlers and quasi-celebrities at cons......and you can always tell when they really don't care and are just going through the paces.....my 10-15 minutes with Slaughter let me know he really loved being a part of the property and respects it. He had a big smile when I came up to him with my Joe stuff......he was a little hunched over but he's still a mountain of a man......I'm 6' 1" just to give you some scale to Slaughters height.......plus his hand is bigger than my head....
