Other Toy Lines / Re: Transformers
« on: January 29, 2007, 06:32 PM »Has anyone else pointed out the Stormtrooper and Vader minifigures housed in the translucent red parts of Vader's "wings"? That just kind of jumped out at me a minute ago and I hadn't seen it brought up yet.
Also, is the Ultra Magnus vs. Skywarp Classics two pack supposed to be put out as part of an endcap reset at Target, or is it just one of those "try your luck" exclusive deals? Also also, with Soundwave and UM/SW showing up at retail apparently, any word on when we can expect Devastator?
Ya, that Stormtrooper jumped out almost instantly to me. Ultra Magnus vs. Skywarp pack is part of the endcap deal at Target with the Ilum and Felucia battle packs. Street date "should" be 02/04 if you haven't found a set yet. I picked mine up last week and I have to say that I'm quite impressed!! It shouldn't be too long before Devastator starts showing up....It's apparently shipping to Asain outlets, so it should only be a matter of time. Assuming if any of my Wal-Marts decide to stock the damned thing!

Doesn't look as much as Primus to me as I thought it was going to turn out besides the wing things to some extent.
I ordered the Chrome long stacks from AgesthreeandUp.com and it has been over 2 weeks and still no stacks. I e-mailed them and they assured me that the product was shipped, but there is NO at my office that would have reason to hide/steal these from me.
Hang in there Ryan, hopefully they'll turn up. I'm not sure how they ship, but I can't imagine the package/envelope to be very big so maybe it just got misplaced?
Oh, and word on the street is that the Commerative Soundwave has been showing up a retail. It's about frikkin time!

My favorite... Smooth, very good for sipping and enjoying. Not served at nearly enough places around where I am.
I love this stuff. Have two Killian's hats to support the movement!

« on: January 27, 2007, 04:42 PM »
I love this line 
Plus the fact that there's constantly new product on the pegs unlike the 3 3/4 figs. Too bad the Transformer stuff is clogging up most of the space though.

Joe Defender / G.I. Joe Toys Thread
« on: January 26, 2007, 03:50 PM »
Where have you heard this? I'd love to get these, especially 'since Rhino's versions are so expensive on the secondary market. Are they rereleasing GI Joe: The Movie on DVD too?
Various Transformer websites - Tformers.com and TFans.com message boards. They're supposed to be released to coincide with the release of the movie if not before then. I don't have a direct source to link to at the moment as the "rumor" was ongoing a few months back. I'll post in the Transformer thread when something new pops up. I didn't hear anything about the Joe movie being released though.
First off bite your tongue for even thinking Crystal Ball was a dreadnok!! No, no.....no, no,...no, no, no!!
Zartan ('84)
Dreadnoks ('85)
Torch
Buzzer
Ripper
Zandar ('86)
Zarana
Dreadnoks ('86)
Monkeywrench
Thasher with Thunder Machine
Dreadnoks ('87)
Zanzibar with flying skiff
Dreadnoks ('88)
Roadpig
Dreadnoks ('89)
Gnagahyde
Thanks for the history lesson. It's been over ten years since I even thought about vintage Joes, so gimmee a break Lady
Zanzabar. Wow. I remember he had a really lame vehicle and he also had a "real" pony tail. Thrasher/Slasher...I almost had it right. I really dug his ghettoish style vehicle and his character was quite off if I remember correctly. I think I dropped off in 88 because I have non idea who Gnagahyde is.
This thread brings back so many wonderful memories of my childhood. I was never really into SW as a kid as I didn't even know anything about it until I saw ROTJ in 83. GI Joe and Transformers were HUGE to me though from 84-88. I had almost the entire line at one point save for the FLAGG and the Terrordome, but I pissed it all away back in the 90's because I had no need for the stuff or any toy for that matter.
I have a very bad feeling that diving into this 25th Anniversary line is going to cause me to go back and pick up all the vintage toys.
I wish this thread never existed.

Joe Defender / G.I. Joe Toys Thread
« on: January 26, 2007, 12:35 PM »
I wouldn't mind seeing a battlepack of just the original core Dreadnocks. I think the only one that has a chance of being made is Zartan if they're only going up to 25 figures. I remember Road Pig, Slasher, Zarrana - and her brother, and I think there was some other dude - Crystal Ball?
I wasn't interested in Joe back when they were released, but I missed the last season of Rhino's Transformers box sets and it goes for well over $80. I'd really like to complete that set even though Sony is re-releasing them this summer - different packaging to be sure and I'm a stickler about those sorts of things.
Now if they would just re-release or re-do the DVD season sets now too - since I missed them the first time and they're pretty pricey/difficult to track down now.

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: 2007: Best year for Luke, ever?
« on: January 25, 2007, 05:34 PM »But I really want a Snowspeeder one (my custom version is kind of lame). After that, I'd actually like to see a new Hoth version like the upcoming Hoth Han.
Forgive me for being retarted here, but what's the difference between the X-Wing Luke that came out last year versus a Snowspeeder Luke? I assume the helmet, but what else?

Ya, I'm kinda getting a Harry Potter/Where's Waldo vibe from her.
So there's going to be more than one version of Snakey?
