Joe Defender / GI Joe Convention 2013
« on: January 19, 2013, 04:29 PM »
Stolen from Hisstank:

The 2013 JoeCon Brochure is now online including details of the G.I. JOE: Night Force Team - Nocturnal Fire Squad and the Cobra Demolitions Team!

"G.I. JOE: Night Force is a covert unit specializing in nighttime surveillance and defensive operations. Each team member has been selected for their enhanced skills, sophisticated hardware and advanced technology to surprise and vanquish any enemy!

This fan favorite and highly requested team contains several of the classic Night Force members and some new additions available for the first time in the modern era 25A style.

Our special edition Nocturnal Fire squad includes: Charbroil, Hit & Run, Muskrat, Psyche-Out, Repeater and Spearhead with Max (NEW Bobcat).

The Cobra Demolitions Team is ready to take on any obstacle that gets in their path of destruction. Led by the mysterious Cobra Mortal, he employs Cobra Letal and the deadly saboteur Crimson Asp (NEW female character). Their specialized troopers include: Cobra Frag-Vipers x 3, Cobra S.A.W.-Vipers x 3."

A box full of late 80s Joes and SAW and Frag-Vipers? Sold.

Joe Defender / The Comics
« on: July 21, 2010, 04:31 AM »
So, is anyone picking up GI Joe #156 today? I've been out of IDW's current comics, but I have been obsessively reading the Marvel reprints, so I'm really looking forward to this.

30th Anniversary Collection / 30th Anniversary Tin Collector Sets
« on: May 29, 2006, 12:31 PM »
Linky to that otheR Site.

Since I'm a sucker for stuff like this, I suppose I'm going to buy them. They could be those "new toys" spoken of in the DVD press release.

I seriously doubt that any VOTC/VTSC figures would be in the packs, for some reason.

Modern Trading / Have UGH; want Sep. of Twins
« on: April 29, 2006, 01:35 AM »
I have one each of the following UGH figures:

AT-AT Driver
Commander Cody
Snowtrooper
Obi-Wan
Anakin


I'm looking for 2x of the Infant Leia w/ Bail Organa set, and 1x of Infant Luke Skywalker w/ Obi-Wan. I also seek the Commemorative DVD sets that were at WM for the Clone Wars Vol. 2 DVD release.

Thanks for the look!  :)

Other Toy Lines / Big Amazon sale.
« on: April 21, 2006, 09:29 PM »
Linky.

Dropped about $80 after shipping myself, with a bunch of Buffy/Angel figures I didn't have yet and a Thomas Riker from DST's Trek line (which isn't on sale.)

Not much for Star Wars, but the GI Joe HISS Tank is available for $10, best price I've seen. It's mostly McFarlane and other more 'kiddie' stuff, but there's gold in them thar hills.

Other Toy Lines / Big Lebowski toys!
« on: March 10, 2006, 12:52 AM »
There's no official website for the company making them, but there is this blog with the press release.

Linkage.

They're only making the Dude and Walter, which is enough. It's not like I need or want a figure of every character in the film, though having some nihilists for Walter to beat on would be pretty cool.  :)

And these are only going to be sold at EE, if I read that correctly.

Other Toy Lines / Awesome Tower.com sale!! Hurry!!
« on: January 14, 2006, 12:25 AM »
60% off!

Linky.

Be wary. It may say "Free shipping" but it really isn't. The fine print states orders that include toys aren't eligible for free shipping.

I picked up 7 Buffy figures for $45 shipped, which is about the cost of three at regular retail.

Other Toy Lines / Latest vintage acqusition
« on: January 13, 2006, 10:47 PM »
There's a thread like this in the Vintage section, but I'm going to make one for other older toys here.

I bought this one on ebay, and it finally arrived today...



Authentic G1 Soundwave

I almost swear it's fresh out of the box, since the joints are really, really tight. Alas, it didn't include any Cassetticons, but there's some reasonably-priced bootlegs of Ravage and Rumble/Frenzy making the rounds on ebay that I might pick up.

Jocasta's Reading Room / Kid's books
« on: November 13, 2005, 07:04 PM »
I usually get my younger cousins a little something for Christmas every year, and I wanted to get them something besides action figures this year.

I thought about the children's books, and have no idea where to start. Are there some decent currently-available books that have the story of ROTS? I know there are some for the OT, and I'm going to get those for them.
