    G.I. Joe Classified Series: The Chatty Pointless Thread & Performance Art

    Well, the 2pk has a sale date of Nov 9, which is only 2 weeks away. So yes, they'll be in stores soon. I'd be more excited for this 2pk if the figures colors weren't switched. Still irks me.

    BAF Waves - Themed or Mixed?

    It feels like BAF waves generally already have themes. X-Men. Spider-Man. Avengers. We've had a few waves recently which are scattershot, like the Zabu wave, but those feel more like the exception and more of a recent experiment. I suppose they could have scattered those Zabu characters...

    Blokees Transformers

    I'd have to search out local comic stores to see if they have them. If I'm not going to stumble upon them in my regular adventures, I'd rather just order them online. There are a couple of stores who could potentially have them here in the mall down the street. Maybe I'll poke my head...

    JOYTOY Mechs and Warhammer and stuff

    Well sure. They're eye-catching. Get people talking and presumably buying. Honestly, I still have the gaming mentality for this property. Build & paint an army from the ground up. And eventually get to named characters. But that's not how people likely approach the Joytoy stuff. They're...

    JOYTOY Mechs and Warhammer and stuff

    For replacement parts, I've only had to go through Gundamit and Aliexpress. Both worked out but they took some time to make it right. I've been wanting some new armies to come out, and Death Guard is one of them. Kinda odd they're starting from the top down and making Mortarion. How about...

    Blokees Transformers

    Almost broke down and tried this line. Want to buy something off Walmart's site but pondered adding stuff to get to free shipping. They supposedly had four of Galaxy Roll Out for $5 each. Added them to my cart. Went to check out. And then they sold out of the Blokees. My local WM has the...

    Masters of the Universe: Origins

    I ordered Stingor. Was waffling on getting a subscription and seeing if I got the offer for 20% off She-Ra and Swiftwind. But I went with just Stingor. I'll see if Swiftwind goes on sale during Black Friday time. I wouldn't mind Sharella but that $10 subscription surcharge really turns me off.

    G.I. Joe Classified Series: The Chatty Pointless Thread & Performance Art

    I'm not a huge Transformers fan, but I did have some growing up. And watched the show. I did rewatch the first two seasons a few years back. I'm not as attached to the stuff/characters after the 86 movie. Does it excite me the TF and Joes will crossover in a show? Not necessarily, but it...

    Most Wanted 1/12 scale figures

    Four. If we get to Six, the line will certainly happen.

    G.I. Joe Classified Series: The Chatty Pointless Thread & Performance Art

    I'm sure there will be a solo black Baroness using the Pilot Baroness body in the line. Probably as a boxed figure, since black Baroness already had a retro figure. I can see a blue version on retro card as well. They could make some other female pilot figure with the same helmet as Pilot...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series: The Chatty Pointless Thread & Performance Art

    I wouldn't be surprised if Target just didn't want any more of the TF and PP stuff. They kept lingering. Probably good to let the themes die for a bit, let more new characters (and vehicles) enter the line, and then start the themes up again. I can see Sci-Fi in Tiger Force colors. Almost...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series: The Chatty Pointless Thread & Performance Art

    I'm not a lover of Tiger Force. So much garishness, which obviously appeals to you guys who were into the later years of RAH. That said, I do have some of the Classified Tiger Force, but I stopped getting them when the Roadblock 2pk came out. Skipped the Ferret repaint too. Just one...

    Masters of the Universe: Origins

    I experimented with checking out and didn't get the offer. But I don't have a membership and had one added to my cart so I could try and purchase Stingor. I haven't seen a need to get the membership yet. Sharella is tempting, but she seems to be the only figure tied permanently to the...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series: The Chatty Pointless Thread & Performance Art

    I lot of my love for Joes/Cobras came from whether or not they could hold their gun. Spearhead had a cool gun. I do think they could spruce him up. Some Classifiying him up could probably help with his color distribution, since he was a solid color for his torso and then camo his limbs.

    NECA 2012 Turtles

    I did just received text and email confirmations of my two deliveries from yesterday. Of the reordered stuff. Not from my original, refunded order.

    Fwoosh Toys/Articulated Icons - A Retrospective

    I was in a TRU during the landing of the Toy Biz ML MODOK wave. Saw another guy prowling the aisles. I cautiously asked "Fwoosh?" Turned out to be Industrial. We'd bump into each other at stores every so often. Saw him at Target a year or so ago, although any run-ins are farther and...

    Marvel Legends Two-Packs

    The Cyclops/MarvelGirl 2pk I meant to cancel on Pulse shipped. And it really drove home just how much crap I've boughten(had arrived) lately. I don't buy too much ML these days, but I do need to rethink just what I preorder. So I'm not caught surprised by items shipping. And with so many...

    Super 7 Reaction thread

    I assuming Acroyear will be in wave 3. I'll be surprised if the line goes past wave 3. Can never tell with Super7. Amazon had wave 1 on sale for about $15 during their Amazon Day sale. I'm assuming they'll be marked down again for the holidays. Maybe I'll crack and order them, as I'm not...

    NECA 2012 Turtles

    So...everything I ordered showed up. Initial order of Leo, Mikey, and Donnie arrived via 2 shipments. This was refunded to me when it was labeled as arriving to the wrong address a week+ ago. Second order (replacement for first order) and third order (Raph) also arrived via 2 shipments...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series: The Chatty Pointless Thread & Performance Art

    Thankfully, anything I want to army build beyond a couple of figures has already been made in the line. I suppose some comic inspired Cobra Troopers would be tempting (with yellow harnesses and red face mask). All the specialist Vipers have a cap for numbers for more. Maybe 3 at the most, but...

    Super 7 Ultimates Thread

    By the very nature of the game (unless you're playing tabletop), the game is all on paper and verbal communication between friends. It's not even really visual. And about creating your own characters (even though you can play as pre-existing ones). So it seems like a hard thing to merchandise...

    NECA 2012 Turtles

    Are the WM/NECA shipments for these only using FedEx? Or should I be on the lookout for other companies potentially delivering these?

    I wonder if the Ghost Viper will be a Black Friday special, if they're shipping that many to (some) stores.

    Figura Obscura

    Yeah, they'll release it in a different color. I'm thinking some reddish. And they'll be bringing the Jersey Devil to any conventions they attend. And potentially having an in-stock of any leftovers they have. So there will certainly be another chance or three of getting a Jersey Devil down...

    Super 7 Ultimates Thread

    I think people expecting merchandise for the 80s animated D&D cartoon to be big sellers were just overselling the appeal of that cartoon. Certainly those of us growing up at the time remember it. However, it was only 1 season of 20-something episodes. The show didn't have tie-in toys to help...
