Saw the Bench Press figure at TRU the other day. Looked cool but I passed for now. I've been passing on most of the ROC figures.

They shipped my subscription Teela out earlier this evening. I'll have it next Wednesday. Over at He-Man.org all of the subscription Teelas didn't ship out until today. One week after they went on sale. They did not ship out first like it said on Facebook.
I also ordered Zodak and Ray today after the good news about Teela finally shipping.
Hopefully, they get Scare Glow all ready to ship out right away for subscribers.

You have to blame the retailers too and not just Hasbro. Retailers order what they want and Hasbro just fills those orders. Target didn't have to order tons of Rise of Cobra wave 1 and 2 and Star Trek and Indy.

Just ordered the new Classic Uncle Scrooge statue. I don't usually buy many statues but this one is very cool and of my favorite Disney character.

I think they overproduced the movie figure. If the line doesn't sell well overall it's because stores ordered too much. Maybe they were ensuring enough to go around compared to the usual low stock of 25th anniversary single packs. Really wish they would have saved some of that production for 25th single packs of the last few waves that never made to shelves.
I'm seeing a ton of Star Trek figures in stores. At TRU the Trek figures bulge out in that part of the aisle compared to the very low stock of Star Wars figures.

Just ordered Tri-Klops. I logged in on Mattycollector at 10:55 am and refreshed a few times. Then when it said add to cart it went fast and I was able to finish by 10:58 am. Right after that the site is slow. This may be the trick to order right away because they make the order process active about 3 to 5 minutes early.

thetrenchesforum.com is probably the most established 12" forum. You have to register to view. That wasn't the case a while back and they had a lot of good discussion when I would stop in there.
Also, Barry Kay has a great Adventure Team site nyaj.com.
All the photos and videos I take are just something I like to share with you guys. I post links a bunch of the forums I frequent. Doesn't take long to shoot photos, etc and upload them. I been doing that for the last 5 Joecons.

« on: August 16, 2009, 11:43 PM »I have yet to find a decent GI Joe collecting site...where do you guys recommend I go to see the best pictures from Joe Con? I've seen most of the stuff at HISSTank.com, but I hate how there's not a gallery and instead you have to click, then click back, then wait for the page to reload, then click. Is there anywhere that I can just scroll through a bunch of decent pictures?
I posted a bunch of pictures but I didn't take any of the Hasbro 2010 figures. I figured every other site would be posting pictures. However, I did shoot a few videos of the sales floor including the Hasbro area with some closeups. Video
Try yojoe.com or theterrordrome.com. I saw those guys there taking a lot of pictures.

Uploading pictures from Thursday night Club Store now. Very expensive evening. Limit of 2 of each International pack so the 650 2-Packs, 650 3-Packs and 500 Gyrocopter/Blades aren't going to last long. Everyone is buying 2 as far as I could tell.
Took pictures of file cards, price sheet, displays, lines and also 2 videos coming.

Picked up my Crimson Strike boxed set at the convention last night. Still haven't looked at any of the figures. I was more impressed by the Argen FANG Gyrocopter that was free when picking set up in person.
The convention comic/brochure is also very cool and has a great story.
Today we get to buy.
Jump 2-Pack with Starduster and Sgt Manleh 650
International 3-Pack with Redmack,Topson and Schimik. 650
Gyrocopter with Blades. 500
Crimson Command Copter 400

Down here in Kansas City. I've been buying all kind s of GI Joe stuff leading up to the convention. Bought 2 GI Joe shirts at the mall. Picked up 2 of the ROC Firefly figures at TRU. I wish these were always 2 for 9.99. I also picked up the new issue of GI Joe and GI Joe: Helix. Now I'm just waiting for pre-registration tonight at 8:30pm at the Crown Center Hyatt.

No sign of black timber anymore. I think that was a variant like the 2007 version.
