Kinda stupid to have three figures carded and the rest all loose, no  ???

It's just cool that you open your stuff.   ;)

I appreciate your kind words, but 99% of my SW collection is carded/boxed unfortunatley.  I've given myself a break with Transformers and with this new Joe line as well.  I have to say that it's nice to admire a collectible outside its packaging + the fact that I have so many memories to these characters as a kid.  My SW collection is complete OCD, so it's nice to have a loose stash of figures amongst my disorder that I can display/admire loosley.

Cobra Commander Vs. Tripwire

Interesting set...  I don't recall them facing off I guess. :)

I agree especially on the Iron Grenadier for army building purposes.

I think a three pack would have been cool with the three Cobra La dudes (I'm terrible with names)  Golobulous?  Hasbro was offering comic packs with 3 figs for a few years now.  Not sure why they bumped it back down to two.  Still a good deal anyway you look at it though.

...And here I thought that this line would just be a small filler with just a few waves before the movie crap hits.  Hasbro has been touching a lot of bases, but I sure hope they stop with the CC/SE/SS stuff.

I thought I read awhile back you were bailing on this line?  I'd really like to know if there's more hardcore SW collectors out there that are keeping this line in the closet...

I'm desperately trying to bail on the line... but haven't stopped yet.   :-X

I think I'm going to just have to call this line quits... it's been fun, but I don't have room or the money for this line... not with collecting Star Wars too... look for an updated "sale" list in the next week in the classifieds...

Geez...I hope spook you out of this line Chewie.   :-\

I have SW to worry about as well, but I just couldn't pass on these guys.  Serious crack here.   :)

Well, I've go so much credit card debt now, and am really feeling a crunch from my wife.  Ideally, I'd collect a ton of Star Wars, Joes and Indy stuff.  But I really am bad when it comes to buying toys, I have a very large room just crammed with the stuff... I've spent at least $20k in the last 10 years on Star Wars, and that's guessing conservative... I'm sure it's closer to $30k.   :-\

Like a damn fool, I just bought the Ace/Wild Weasel 2-pk at Walmart.  I don't know what's wrong with me.  I did pass on the twins and new Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow 2-pk though.

Wow, I didn't even know those were out yet.  I think I'm going to have to cut back/cut out this line eventually as well, but there are a few more that I want to pick up here before I finish up.  I'd definitely like to grab the Ace/Wild Weasel and Tomax/Xamot packs, and probably a few more single figures along the way.  Its a line I'd collect in full if there wasn't so much Star Wars stuff out these days (and space/budget is at a premium right now).  It seems like the Joe stuff is sure hitting quickly right now.

Wow...That sure was a quick turnaround  :)

If Ace and Wild Weasel didn't suck you back in Full Time...let me know.  With so much EU and PT stuff slated for this year, I am using Joe to fill the gap.

PM me with the list before you post it, I can probably save you the trouble.
