Joe Defender / Re: G.I. Joe/Action Man: Modern 12"
« on: March 19, 2010, 03:39 PM »
I'm a sporadic 12" collector.  I opt for the 12" Club every year and buy some of their exclusives like the Man of Asia and Kung-Fu sets. 

I bought the Air Adventurer set and Base Camp at the 2008 Joecon.  That tent, figure and jetpack are just about as cool as these get. 

I've passed on all the other 12" sets since then and in 2006 and 2007 mostly due to buying the 3 3/4" sets in bulk.  Price is also a big factor and I'm hoping they reduce the price of the 2006-2009 sets at a future con.  Last year they were clearing out older 12" sets for dirt cheap but not the AT sets.

I picked up all the Wal-Mart AT figures and 45th repros from the last few years.

I also bught a lot of the 1990s 12" and some early 2000s in stores as they were released.  I passed on the 40th Anniversary sets but was almost tempted to start buying those.

Tons of those Perceptors and Insecticons warming the TRU I stopped at the other day.  I holding off on these until they go on clearance.  Too bad these are selling or they made too many because that may limit the future offerings.

AT sets up for preorder over at the club store.  They are a lot cheaper than I expected.  $34.99 for each of the 2 vehicle sets and $44.99 for the Dr Venom set.  1200 of each set according to Lanny at the Club forum.

I slimmed my MOTUC collection down.  I'm only going to keep He-Man, Beast Man, Skeletor, Scareglow, Tri-Klops, Teela, Man at Arms and Hordak.  Someday I'll pick up Trap-Jaw, Moss Man, Battle Cat and select others.

I sold off Zodac, Mer-Man, Zodak, Faker, He-Ro, Stratos, Adora, King Randor, BA He-Man and Webstor.  I'm so glad I'm don't want everything.

I had about 5 MASK toys when I was a kid.  My favorite is the Rhino.  A few years back I repurchased what I had as a kid and a lot of the ones I never had.

These are going to be expensive.  The fancy packaging definitely doesn't help the price.  I bet these are going to be $60 a set.  The Blades/HAWK Copter was $28 at the 2009 Joecon but they were loose in a bag.  These are going to be like $25 for carded figure + $25 for vehicle and $10 packaging.

I picked up my last loose Swoop just as the bootlegs began to show up.  Now I would be concerned about buying loose Dinobots because who knows what's original or replacement parts.

No Ross stores up here but maybe TJ Maxx and Marshals will get them too.  I drove right by a TJM today.

Skeletor has a all yellow face which looks nicer than the green/yellow versions.  I'm tempted to buy the 2-Pack just for the new Skeletor head but not at $30 plus.

Does anyone know why Hasbro doesn't re-release the Dinobots?  Seems like a good idea or at least the bootleggers think releasing them is profitable.

I opened up the blue Firebat last might and was blown away.  This is definitely an arctic vehicle which is always welcome.  They even put new ski landing gear on the bottom.  I'm going to pick up a few more up at the K-Marts where I also saw them.  Still not sure if these will be used by Cobra or GI Joe.  I may have to customize them with some Cobra decals.

Bought a blue Firebat at Wal-Mart today.  I passed on it months back and was hoping to find it once again.  I haven't opened it yet but it looks very cool.  I didn't realize it was white on the bottom which is cool because I want to use it in some arctic layouts.

Sounds like they already started to charge some people for Moss Man subscriptions. 
Saw the She-Ra MOC picture on Matty's FB page and it looks like a pass.
