I like Wild Weasel, that's killing me...  He was probably my favorite pack-in figure of all.  Even had the upside down map on his leg...  Very cool.

There's a guy that didn't get much cartoon time too...  WW just got hosed.

Finally caved and picked up Firefly and a coupla red ninjas.  Fighting the urge to army build the red ninja for sure.  Firefly is damn sweet.

I have successfully managed to resist all figures so far except those 3 and storm shadow.  When it comes to ninjas though, I have a big soft spot!

Looks like some great Star Wars custom fodder to me!

Man, these new comic packs look great. I can skip the SS/SE pack, but I probably won't. Tomax and Xamot look fantastic.  :)

FWIW, Hasbro Toy Shop has some Pimp Destros listed as coming soon. I wouldn't get your hopes up, though, since they're AFA graded and carry a price between $50-75 each. I can't help but feel offended by that, but that's only because I was far too busy the day those went on the site after the con. I'd really hate to see Hasbro go any further with this idea.

Welcome to the club.  I hope you enjoy your stay no matter how limited your selection is.   :)

Oh well, I guess I don't have to be worried about being sucked in after all...  ::)

It's just the comic book Jeff - you can't tell me you haven't been drooling over some of these figures.

Picked up a Crimson Guard today... just a couple days after I swore I was done buying these.

It's basically impossible to resist this figure.  I know I'm in trouble when I find these.

Wave 5 is out? The last I've seen of Joe has been some Wave 2 about 2 months ago...

Damn the Crimson Guard... as much as there are flaws in the figure, I love it.  For now, I'm hooked on this line again. 

And my Walmarts have been bursting with Joe figures on the pegs over the last week... looks like they're shipping in good numbers finally (in my area at least).

My wave 5 was sitting on my doorstep.  I have not had time to bust them out, but I love how Destro's package says "Iron Grenadiers: The Enemy"...I would love an Iron Grenadier..

Just at a minor glance..This is the V1 Snake Eyes we should have gotten from the beginning, and he has the "fixed crotch".... I hope to open this in the morning...

Do they all have fixed crotches?  Somehow I can't get anyone to answer this simple question.

I found Snow Job, Destro, and Flash earlier this morning, and I can confirm that Flash at the very least has the fixed crotch.  It looks as if Snow Job has the fixed crotch as well (his waistcoat is kind of covering it up; I haven't had a chance to open them yet), but Destro's crotch having a codpiece makes it difficult to tell whether or not his is fixed.

And no, I am not missing the humor in the nonstop "crotch fix" statements.  ;D
