Joe Defender / Re: GI Joe Convention 2013

Sad I missed it, more sad that anything new from Hasbro seems to have missed it too.

If Wave 2/3 Roadblock is "battle kata" roadblock, then yes it is removable.

It seems the SDCC exclusive for Joe this year has a good chance of being very expensive.

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: A 6" Exclusive for SDCC 2013?

Are these veiled hints?

It's my understanding sort of that everything with this is really fluid, so while people are speculating wildly about it, I think it's good to keep it in perspective...  It seems, at best, written in wet cement but far from set in stone.

I'm curious as anyone what it could be.  I may not like the 6" line particularly, and won't be buying, but I like looking at them.

Maybe some light will be shed in a week.

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 6 Inch Figures?
« on: January 31, 2013, 08:15 AM »
Ok, I have to tap the brakes on my whole "I'm in"....

I abhore painted "flesh" on human characters almost as much as I loathe PT figures. 
I realize the pic we have seen is a hand painted clearly a prototype (paint chips near collar and shoulder joint and pins visible in legs), so we will see.

If these come out with painted heads instead of cast, I will look at them like I do so many other 6in figures, and that is just glance at them, pick them up and wish they were better and return them to the shelf.  A modern day "catch and release" kind of deal.

And to clairfy my earlier post, I was not implying that DD was talking down to us, it must have been the mood I was in when I read it.   The numerous times that staff here at JD have interacted with him at Toy Fair or GI JOe Conventions he was as excited by the stuff as we were and even gave Rob some exclusive photo shots before pulling an item off the display.  I assume the fanboy rants are on otheR sites?

If they are really trying to rope the first generation of fans in, the first 12 should be the original 12.

I'm in and if I have to buy online by the case, I am going to really be annoyed with a $20 prequel pegwarmer.  The same reason I quit getting cases earlier this year in the 4in line.


Luke looks great, I am sure the Sandtrooper will be sweet too.

The Vintage Collection / Re: The Future of Star Wars Collecting?

Did anyone else read DD's quote and catch a bit disdain for collectors (who they now cater to)?

If it means OT goodness, I'm in.

If it was focused on the OT, I'd probably be in.  I really liked the Wal Mart exclusive Avengers figures in the 6in scale last summer.  I still picked up the 4in figures, though.

I would rather the resources go this concept than Star Wars Battle Squinkies, Angry Birds, Transformer Cross-overs, Bend Ems, Animated or Prequel crap.

But that is just me.  I don't display my stuff like most of you guys do.  I hide my stuff in a few boxes in the bottom of a closet.

I'm not going again this year (they seem to enjoy having this thing on the weekend closest to my kids' birthdays).

That Night Force Repeater is a thing of beauty though.

Ok Smash, finally got to the box (we have been moving and finally got to that box).  The Stormshadow in that box was  the POC one, not renegades.  I will check with the local guys.  Renegades hit pretty good around here at all the Drug Stores.

These are already on clearance at my WalMart.

They initially had them in the LEGO section.

It just got serious up in here........

Anybody who has heard my Star Wars story knows my first love was Cowboys and Cowboy Action figures.... add the Ranger (albeit the non-canon Ranger) and LEGO and I am in Cow-Nerd heaven...

Let me check my extras box.  If my son hasn't raided it, I probably have one.
