Looking for a WORMS (I already have the Helmet I just need the figure......) and a Secto-Viper Helmet......not so much worried about his gun. If anybody has a spare hit me up.....and maybe we can work something out?

Still.........I was entertained. In that 10 minutes I couldn't wait to hear what he had to say next........completely opposite from someone like The Miz....(who usually makes me want to change the channel). Stone Cold shirt was a nice touch too.....total rebel man. WWE has been missing a character like that for a while now. Punk just raised the bar to everyone in the locker room.....

That picture is from "Fast Five"........close though.

Yeah, I still have yet to see anything except empty pegs when it comes to these guys. Half the Wal-Marts by me don't even have pegs for GI Joe in the aisle. Pretty frustrating...... @grumpy@

I respect your opinion........but I recently watched the Steamboat dvd on Netflix and they kept talking about that match.....and I've seen it brought up before. But it made me put in my WM3 dvd and the match deserves all the praise it gets.......unreal. It never stops....not a boring part in that match at all. Hogan/Warrior on the other hand is awful............a couple years back a bunch of buddies of mine were talking about Hogan/Warrior and how awesome it was...... I was mixed in with casual wrestling fans, we ordered pizza and some beers and were all like "What!??" we were super-excited for this when we were little??!! Awful match........the idea behind it was epic....but the match itself is pretty bad.

I went to WW Philly yesterday for the second year in a row. I started attending WW Philly back in 2003 I believe (I think that was my first year) and went up until 2005. (In 2005 I was transferred and didn't live back in the area until 2010) Anyway I used to be able to clean up when it came to Joes at this convention. There was a ton of dealers with Joes......last year I came back with almost nothing Joe related. I think I managed to pick up the "Assault on Cobra Island" set and that was it. Well yesterday was really no better.......I snagged about 8 RAH figures all loose and complete and in pretty good condition, and "Ninja Commando" Snake-Eyes for 10 bucks. I've never seen him in person until yesterday. (Great figure BTW) But the thing that really irked me was that I went to like 3 booths and just asked them before I went in was "Do you guys have any Joes?" and the reply at one of the booths was "Na, all we have is the Con Slaughter inside for $125" and then the guy reached into his cargo short pocket and said "and this little guy" and pulled out a Collectors Club Dial-Tone......which was 75 bucks of course. I told him I wasn't paying that for him and left. Lame...... There was only one true Joe booth there and I picked up 6 of my 8 figures there (all RAH)......and he had all of POC wave 4 I believe (The Steel Brigade wave??) Anyway Steel Brigade was 18 bucks and thats what he was all the other 2 booths that actually had him......and all the other figures from that wave except for CC who was 12 were 15 bucks. I was hoping to pick up the "Resolute" sets and some other stuff.......nothing to be found. I did see a couple "Artic Hiss Tanks" for 30 bucks but Joe wise I was kinda disappointed.

#US1# Epic Win

So I went to 3 Wal-Marts today and nothing even close to anything GI Joe......in fact I think the toy gods were playing with me. I actually managed to see a ROC Covergirl with a clearance sticker of 9.97 on her just laying on the shelf beneath the Captain America pegs and next to the 12/10 inch Cap figures. There isn't even any empty pegs with Joe tags on them......really frustrating. I managed to pick up the CrazyLegs wave at TRU last week (Which is a miracle cause TRU is usually a black hole) I'm just kinda confused here........ @hmmm@

I'm just hoping I can find one of these things. The only store that carries Joe's near me anymore is Target and TRU. TRU is usually totally lame......the 34.99 price doesn't scare me. Its the fact that I might not be able to find one. @grumpy@

I'm all about accessories........accessories are part of what made the original RAH so cool. Its what made the Joes and their specific craft so unique. Can you imagine Snake-Eyes without his trademark uzi and sword. (Or Timber for that matter) Most of the time when I was little when I was picking out Joes the accessories MATTERED. "Well this guy has a machete and a boogie board looking thing........and this guy comes with a cool looking face mask, shield, gun and a backpack that has a grapnel gun!!!" (Muskrat/Alley Viper) if you see what I mean. Yeah, there are a lot of accessories with some of the POC figures but I thought that was one of the cooler things in the line. When I first picked up Wave 1 Snow Job I looked at the fig and was like "okay" but then when I saw all the gear this guy had I was stoked. "All geared up!" Joes are the best.

I really think they are going to have to announce the whole slate.....I'm not gonna subscribe only to get 1 or 2 really cool figures and 10 assorted Dukes/Destros/Stormys/CCs...etc.

I see what you're saying but is it really any different comparing the original 13 to any of the figures from 85-86? I'm not being specific but I think you see where I'm going with this. I wanted to put Low-Light in with my 25th figures....I took him out eventually not because I thought he stuck out.....its because I'm really dedicated to lines in my display. (POC with POC, 25th with 25th etc.) But the figures always gradually look better as time goes on.....I don't think its that big a deal. Even some of the later 25th figures look better than the ones from the boxsets.

So the big question I have is......Will I have to be a member of the collector club to have a chance to purchase these figures? Meaning......will I have to shell out 40 bucks just to have a "chance" to get these figures? At least with Matty there isn't a charge to shop at their store. I would feel a little better if it was through hasbrotoyshop.com......I know we don't have all the info......but the club isn't going to be doing this for the sake of the fan. They will be getting something out of this.

How sad is it that the Cole/Lawler match is considered the 3rd biggest on the card. Lame.......granted with Stone Cold now added the fun factor may be upped but still......sad.

I don't need 2 of each of these figures.......if it was 1 each of all the figures I would be in. It would probably make me buy the figures in the wave I don't even want. I only want the Steel Brigade, Hawk, and the Jungle BAT. But I would pick up all of them to be done with the hunt.

Saw this over at Joblo.com.......which is a movie news sight I frequent. I don't know how I feel about it. I mean they could be adding Duke to a "Bravo" team of sorts since the team in the first movie was referred to team "Alpha" but who knows. Channing Tatum was probably the worst of all the actors in the first, I liked Rachel Nichols as Scarlett. Kinda bummed..... Also whats up with the villain? No CC...... @grumpy@ (In one form or another) http://www.joblo.com/most-of-the-gi-joe-cast-loses-the-battle-to-return-for-the-sequel

I want that Steel Brigade figure.....I still remember filling out the original form for the mail-away in the 80's. Only I named my Steel Brigade member "Lionheart." #US1# Up until this point we really haven't had a Steel Brigade figure mass released at retail...(Other than that TRU set back in 2005, which I missed out on) I like the Hawk figure but not AS Hawk. Why couldn't they make him just a random new guy........he will be for me. Cobra Troopers are always cool.........and the BAT is just too crazy not to pick up.

Yeah, the heavy anime influence is somewhat disappointing but thats what the kids are into today. It looks cool though......I'll be checking it out. Just like someone said earlier it reminds me of 200X MOTU....in a good way. I'm hyped........I just hope they kinda kept the original theme song......I doubt it they will use it though. The original theme and intro is one of the more iconic openings from the 80's IMO.

That was awesome......and sad at the same time. He comes back and his mic skills ALONE take everybody's heart in the locker room. I just watched the "Best of RAW" dvd this past week and it made me miss how cool wrestling was at one point. I never missed RAW back in the day.....now I can't bear to keep it on for more than 10 minutes. I hope he's back......but I doubt it.

I could really give a crap about the Zarana.......if I get her I get her. I'm not gonna lose sleep about it........But other than that there are some really good looking figures that we have coming down the line. Techno Viper- Looks absolutely FANTASTIC!!! His face plate even looks like it did on the card art of the original. Crazy Legs- Looks great as well.....could easily fit into my 25th display and not even notice a difference. Steel Brigade- Very excited to get my hands on one of these......I was always a fan of that figure and head sculpt. The SKYSTRIKER!!!! nuff said...... There is a lot of cool stuff coming in the next year....I'm hyped. There is some really cool shout outs to RAH era fans in this line. I'm liking them all.

It's pretty nuts that at this point we still haven't gotten Pythona in some form or another..........

Good........The WWE is in serious need of some help........no charisma whatsoever with any of the guys on their roster. (Maybe Cena but thats it)

Its even funnier because of the "Danger Zone" song from "Top Gun"........Val Kilmer was Iceman in "Top Gun". (and Batman in Batman Forever)......this video is unreal.

So yesterday I ordered all of Wave 4 from HTS.......and I picked up Recondo as well. Just one of those times where you somehow don't pick a figure up. I remember thinking he would be a peg warmer. "I'll get him later" is what I was thinking. Anyway, I got a shipping e-mail from HTS today saying my figures shipped.......only they didn't. Just Recondo did......the rest of the figures will ship at or around the 31st of January. I'm not mad about that but they could have just bundled them all together....I didn't get a separate shipping charge....its not a big deal...just weird. Why not just wait to ship them all together?

Wow, did you hit the nail on the head...the Best of 80's packs are scarce on the internet right now. I've seen them on ebay go for around 60 bucks; thats the lowest I've seen.......that was about a month ago. But they are showing up less and less.
