Para Viper is really a great figure...

If you are an opener...he is even better.

Nice.  At least there's still a discount.  Now to start my hunt for the Wraiths.

SRO three packs are up at TRU as of yesterday afternoon.  Picked up the sets I needed, and an extra for Paul, so go grab yours.

Wave 11 is currently in stock at HTS ... but, they've raised the price for the wave to $7.99 each and they aren't supposed to begin shipping until 11/24.  Lame.

Thanks for the tip.  Kinda odd that they're jacking up the price when w10 are still all $6.99.  Would have been nice if these all would have popped up before the better promo code expired.  Still, HTS is saving me alot on gas money especially since most of the stores in my area are loaded with that repack wave.

Wow, the $8 price really does sting a bit.  I went ahead and preordered a few of those that I wanted (Trakker, Eel, Airborne), just so I don't have to look for them too much locally.  I think, depending on what is on top in 2009, I'll be pretty much done with the Joes after that.  I've got the next two DVD packs on the way as well, and may pick up the last one too - but that might wrap things up.  Then again, it all depends on what else we see next year.  I'm guessing we'll see a switch to movie stuff mid-way through though.

Stupid question- if I were to order a couple of Eels from HTS now, does Hasbro charge at the time of sale or when they ship?

BTW, new promo code for HTS- MDCREW, good for 20% off until 11/17.

My card has an authorization on it for w11, but no charge - so I'm assuming I won't be charged until they ship.

GAH!  Where the hell were you yesterday into today  ???  I had to place three seperate orders.

I know, I'm the same way. I ordered Ahsoka, Cody, and that GI Joe comic pack and didn't know this code was out there.  :P

I got a big box of stuff from BBTS today. In it was my case of w10. I scored a variant Wraith in that case! Woo! Of course, now I'm conflicted- do I open it, or not?

The Para-Viper, Mutt/Junkyard, and Croc Master are all awesome. I was hoping Hasbro would phase out or at least rework the Duke arms for Tiger Force Duke, but it didn't happen.  >:(

I don't keep up with exactly what's coming out in the line but I got a couple photos of two new vehicles and drivers.  Not sure if these were rumored or what?  I figured I'd share 'em with you guys real fast here though.

 



The guy with the Armadillo looks like the driver from the mobile artillery vehicle...  I can't recall it or the driver's name.  The dude with the snowvehicle looks like a different Snowjob or something.  What's the deal with his ride though?  What the hell is it, as it's definitely not something really old from the vintage line...  At least if it is, it was the one thing I apparantly never owned besides the FLAGG, haha.

BTW I cannot vouch that these photos are NOT customs, however I have been given no reason to believe they are.  I just don't keep up with GI Joe enough to know what's what.  Love the stuff they make though, it's fantastic.

Looks like Thunder with that Armadillo and Frostbite with some kind of modern Snow Cat.

That's it...  Thunder.  Couldn't recall that...  I always loved his mobile artillery vehicle because it had the brace in the back to dig in when the gun fired.  Always thought that was a cool vehicle.

Frostbite had black hair, so I hope that's not him, but the vehicle is pretty lame looking too.  Snowcat was one of the bitchin'est GIJ vehicles back in the day, with the ski missles and the windshield wiper.  I loved that little snow halftrack.

The Armadillo's weapons pods look removable.  That's neat...  I always liked that vehicle too and had a couple I got at garage sales as a kid.  Reminded me of a little anti-aircraft vehicle.  Too bad

WTF is this ****  ???   

If this is true than Hasbro isn't getting my $ on this crap.  Half-assed EU **** shouldn't be in this line.   >:(
