  1. My guess is 25th Anniversary will take us into the movie line. Whether 25th Continues alongside or after the movie, who knows. With Transformers they pretty much ended everything for the movie stuff and now Classics will continue up again till the new Animated stuff comes out. We'll probably see something similar with Joes.
  2. I don't think any of them are just going to go in the back and look, without looking it up on their DCPI checker gun thing they have no idea where to look in the back. All you do is find an employee with a gun or go up to the customer service area and ask them to check the DCPI number. 9 times out of 10 if they have them in stock they will go back and get them for you unless there is an embargo date on it. If you go to the service area at the front of the store they will even check if other stores in the area have it or not. The downside with things like waves of figures is all of them have the same DCPI # so they could indicate to be in stock but in fact be wave 1 figures instead of wave 3.
  3. The entire story actually can be found here and according to WB it doesnt mean that their program will end on the CW http://enewsi.com/news.php?catid=194&itemid=11932
  4. This is a damn cool figure. It's got a ton of gear. The figure as you can see from the pics can double as a Cobra Officer with yellow straps to go along with your Cobra Trooper that also comes in the set. You can make them Gas Troopers like those figures in the comic 3 pack with Lady Jaye. If you have Boba Fett flames or flames from the con two pack set I believe they would fit on this jetpack as well. I'm glad they are putting this one on a single card later this year.
  5. Pics of all of em are up http://www.toynewsi.com/gijoe/
  6. The darker Stalker isn't going to be in these initial released waves. It's a running change that I doubt we'll start to see till maybe next month at the earliest.
  7. My guess would be when they see if there is enough demand from these to warrent making more with brand new sculpts.
  8. Target and walmarts have nothing past series 3 around here, TRU has wave 4 except for the concept and holiday Fett. TRU is overflowing with so many Saga Legends figures they had to make a second star wars section in the front of the stores as well as the back. Those and all the exclusive vehicles that are coming out at once, the Ywing, Tie Intercepter, the Clone Wars Beast Set the Sand People Bantha, plus they still have Dagobah x-wings and Endor ATATs around here.
  9. My guess is anything like that is gonna be on hold while they work on the new movie. If the movie is a hit then we'll prob see this return in some fashion.
  10. Well wave 1 is pretty much everywhere its just a matter of getting them before the store sells out. Wave 2 and the Cobra boxset seems to have hit Wal-Marts across the country now while Target stores are starting to get wave 3 which from the best I can tell is mainly in the middle of the country right now. My guess by the end of the week or so most Targets will have gotten shipments in. So again its a matter of catching them before the sell at this point.
  11. The TRU in MD have put the Ackley battle beast pack out and also the Transformers/Star Wars Death Star
  12. Found the Cobra boxset and wave 2 at Wallyworld in MD today so they are on the East Coast.
  13. I checked 3 targets in the MD area today and no sign of wave 3 yet. I did find wave 2 and the 2nd Cobra boxset at Walmart though.
  14. Found the 2nd Cobra Boxset at Walmart in MD today. They had 3 of em and 2 of the Joe sets with the reposed figures. They also had one complete set of wave 2 figures on the pegs which I left since I already have wave 2. Target had some new Sigma's, the wave with the grey Torpedoe, went to 3 Targets and no sign of wave 3. TRU didn't have much eaither, some wave 1 figures and for Sigma they have the Land Sea and Air sets out.
  15. Im reading Serpentor's filecard on the 25th Annniversay figure and it says: under the direction of THE INTERROGATOR and DESTRO, combed the tombs...... Shouldn't it be Dr. Mindbender and Destro????
  16. And lets make this year no exception.....lmao. It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it #party#

    Opinions please

    Ok Im trying to figure out if I like the helmet that comes with the 25th Anniversary Serpentor or the one that came in the DDP comic 3-pack better on the new figure. The DDP one is more detailed and a darker color like on the figures chest. The downside is it's a bit smaller and fits tighter on the figures head. Here are some pics to see them, lmk which you like best. I'm leaning towards the DDP one. Helmet that comes with 25th Anniversary figure http://i.toynewsi.com/g/index.php?mode=vie...800&start=0 Helmet that came in the DDP comic 3 pack. http://i.toynewsi.com/g/index.php?mode=vie...800&start=0 Side view http://i.toynewsi.com/g/index.php?mode=vie...800&start=0

    Comic Packs

    Well if they were going to do any DDP comic packs it would have to be in wave 2, cause with wave 3 they will be starting with the exclusive comics done by Hama. For the special wave, as far as I know the figures will be the exact same ones as those released in the boxsets.
  19. I think Mr. Campbell might be a bit too old for ol' Flint now. Have you seen him on USA's Burn Notice over the summer (which is an amazing show, btw). Still a great actor, but a little older, grayer, and out of shape for a Joe. Agreed on both counts, Burn Notice was a great show, and Campbell though a great actor is to old and out of shape to play flint. Now the main star of Burn Notice might be a different story.
  20. Aw cool that was yours??? I thought that was one of the best customs in the room. Nice work, even had working lights.
  21. No it wouldn't. The movie is through Paramount and Hasbro. Marvel if they got the comic book license would likely do a comic book adaptation for the movie but that would be it.
  22. As Cmdr_Y points out, at the summer cons bother WWC SDCC they indicated that this was something they were seriously looking at doing.
  23. For you comic book fans, we are running a new online poll over on CNI. It's on the right side of the main page http://comicnewsi.com/ so go vote
  24. Not sure if you all caught this little bit of news from yesterday's Hasbro panel http://enewsi.com/news.php?catid=190&itemid=11914 "At this past weekend's G.I.Joe Convention writer Larry Hama, who is famous for his work on the Marvel Comics run of G.I.Joe was asked if he would have any involvement in the upcoming G.I.Joe movie. His response, "Nothing is final until the first check clears". Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Hasbro's Brian Goldner will produce a G.I. Joe live-action movie scheduled for release in 2009. Joining the production team along with newly-named director, Stephen Sommers, and business-partner Bob Ducsay will be scribe Stuart Beattie. The studio is looking to start production in February 2008." So your thoughts on having Larry working on the movie in some way?
  25. If Paramount came to you and said which 5 Joes do you want us to use as the core team for the GIJoe movie, who would you pick and why?
