Yeah Chicago area is pretty empty at this point as far as targets are concerned. I missed out on the trooper and baroness. I'm hoping for a baroness solo release at some point but we'll see. Rumors for the next wave include Jaye and zartan which I'd love to see.

After seeing chuckles in the newest comic series I was suddenly reminded of a gi joe toy with a Hawaiian shirt. Would love to see a classified version but you make a good point.

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:This is the point where I once again recommend one of my favorite comics of the last decade, and IMO the best G.I. Joe story in any media, ever: Cobra: The Last Laugh. Thanks for this, I've been looking to read more joe comics (I really like the new one and want to read other stories more in line with the mythos) and have no idea where to start. I was born in 84 but I inherited Joe's (and motu, star wars, etc) from my brother. My absolute favorite thing to do as a kid was watch top gun and "play along" with my sky striker.

Bulgaroctonus posted:Hey do any of y’all remember in the really early days of MOTU Sears had deal where if you(r parents) bought two figures it came with a poster that was a painting of a huge battle scene featuring every character and vehicle plus snake mountain and castle greyskull? Our Sears also had this big display behind glass of the actual toys set up duplicating the poster, complete with terrain and wispy cotton stuff to simulate smoke. I’ve tried to find any mention of this or even just a pic of the poster but the googles aren’t turning up anything. My friend has a poster from his childhood but I think it's from later in the series. It has everyone in it in battle with their names listed but I think it also includes characters from the live movie like blade.

Big Mean Jerk posted:I use the Bandai (iirc?) Act 4 stands and they work okay. The best ones are still the ones that come packed with Figmas and have little screws you can tighten to secure the grip and bends. I had a heavy-rear end Jango Fett straight up in the air on one of those for over a year and never saw any give on it. The real test is the heavy Mando.

How accurate are the dates on hasbro's site? This is the first time ordering stuff from them and I'm wondering if I should expect a 10/1 date on the site to be accurate or not.

I owned zero Joe's when I placed a storm shadow order at the end of August. My storm shadow is still a week away (according to Amazon) and I now own 8 and have 4 others ready to go on release. I haven't been bit by the toy bug this hard since transformers animated.

Congrats on that find, Dale-Taco! My PD Destro should arrive today. I got a pre-order in for Amazon's storm shadow back at the end of August. It was originally expect around 9/1 or so, then delayed til 10/17. I haven't received any info about it since, anyone have a guess how likely it is I'll get it or am I outta luck here?

Yeah when I was still looking for beach head, I checked about 8 targets around Chicago. A few of those had received stock the day before I checked and they had nothing remaining. It's incredibly frustrating and basically you need to visit at store open and hope it's a restock day.

Given enough space I would personally get so into that... someday I want to build my own Castle Grayskull... I would love to do this with vintage Joe's but that's a whole cave I'm not ready to explore.
