Words escape me. This is truly the most awesome thing I think I've ever seen.It completely blows away the one Kenner put out in the 70's. And that is great praise my friend, that playset is the most beloved toy that I ever owned. I salute your talent.

Are you serious? I didn't see that footage. Thats so pitiful its hilarious. I'm going to have to turn the news on again. There is a spark of good news, I will be able to go back on monday. I'm not sure they are going to let me stay, and under the conditions I m not sure iI will be able to stay. But at least I know where I stand as far as being homeless or not.

I'm currently reading "I, Jedi" by Micheal Stackpole. So far I'm lovin it. I love the way he has woven Corran Horn's story into the events of the Jedi Academy Trilogy. So far its been brilliant. Coran Horn is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters.

Unfortunately I am sad to say most of your reports are true. As a suburnban New Orleans resident I have to say the destruction is nothing short of spectacular. I have just received word that my home may not have been damaged as badly as I had thought. I just hope the looters have no clue how much some of my vintage carded G.I.Joes hanging on my wall will fetch them.

I was going to ride out the storm when it was still a category 3. But sunday morning my roommate woke me up to say that she was now a cat 5 and that we needed to get the hell out now. After a harrowing 12 hour car ride in bumper to bumper traffic, we finally managed to get to one of my roommates relaqtives house in Scott LA outside of Lafayette. A ride that should only take 2 hours I might add.

Seeing the destruction of all of the things, and places you take for granted is nothing short of horrifying. The Target, and Walmart I was shopping for figs at no less than 3 days ago is now completely gutted, and practicly leveled. the water on Canal street is now waist high and rising because of no less than 2 levee breeches.They say the water will be almost 12 feet high by 6 am. There are fires burning out of control in Metarie that fire fighters cannot even get to. And of course there are inevitably looters abounding that many suspect set the very same fires ablaze to begin with. Mayor Nagan and Gov. Blanco have declared Martial Law over a good portion of the state. Its like a horror movie come to life. I wish I were making this out to be more than it is but unfortunately I'm not.

The worst part about all of this is I still have no concrete proof that I even have a home to go back to. They wont even start letting people back in until monday at the earliest. Of course with no power, sewerage, or clean water, Im not sure Ill even be able to go back homeany time soon.

Now I know what the people in Singapore felt like.
This was our Tsunami. and my heart goes out to them for surviving it.

Actually your best bet would be Scarlett. She can still be found at most Family Dollar stores single carded for about $2. with a little paint she would be perfect. Ive thought about doing one myself, and youre pretty much doing what I was going to do. Id suggest  B.A.T. arm from the joe line, Its actually  more Human looking than the BD. If you dont know what that arm looks like check out the arms on my Bollux in the Droids custom challenge thread, those are B.A.T.arms.

The Sumos name was E.Honda, and he was from the Street Fighter subline. You can go ti Yojoe.com and look him up If you would like to see him. But I warn you from my Joe collecting days he was pretty hard to find, and goes for a good bit loose.

Keep In mind he's not finished, but I figured Id give a WIP of my Bollux.




I still need to make his chestplate, I'd love to have it swing open but I think thats a bit beyond my ability. He still needs some fine tuning, and some paint but He's turning out better than I expected. I managed to retain his articulation which I am quite proud of. Let me know what you think.

Put me down for a couple DD. I cant even find snow troops to butcher.
