Larry looks so proud.
 
Got Hit & Run and Lifeline today. Hit & Run was a real impulse buy, was planning on skipping him, but in-hand he's a VERY good figure. Really great kit.

Lifeline's very solid, too. My only complaint is his hands look too big for his body? Like I'm tempted to take the spare hands from the greenshirt and see if they fit to swap them in instead. But his gear is a riot, the oxygen mask and IV. I need something to hold the IV up though, I think, and my one detail nitpick is the stuff INSIDE his case is not painted. A bit of silver on the scissors, etc. would have been a nice touch. I might actually do it myself with some miniatures-painting supplies.
 
Reorganizing my Joes for another collection shift.

Only just now noticed General Hawk original recipe has hands doing the mandible claw rather than triggers. I don't see any other figures I own with this Fingerbanging Mary Jane Rottencrotch set up.

Anyone know others?

Aaaand snagged. Breaking my pre-order rule left and right this year.

I also broke my pre-order rule. I was telling @DarthDre758, after noticing how many Classified figures I've noticed went on sale since their release, I didn't want to pre-order anyone anymore unless it's in my top five wanted figures or something. And I don't even mean a deep discount, but $3-5, which still adds up. Darklon I've seen on Amazon for $21, Frag Viper got down to $16, and so on. So, maybe I'll cancel Dawn and try to wait on her but we'll see.
 
It does feel like Joes have hit that comfortable stage where they aren't impossible to get if you don't preorder. They don't often bottom out the way Star Wars Black and a lot of Marvel does, but it's leveled off a lot.
 
It's funny, I buy maybe three ML's a year and I always pre-order them the second they go up because they will absolutely disappear. Joe's, though, have become a very comfortable counterpoint to all that, with the obvious exception of store exclusives. Pre-ordering those doesn't really work anyway.

As reported in the sale thread, Desert Scorpion is $27 at target, you can even order it through the website right now. I wanted the figure, but of course at the time I was hesitant over the price, so this reinforces that I need to start waiting on some of these. Ones like Dawn or Night Viper, I won't begrudge full price I guess, but some of these deluxe ones seem to be set to be discounted eventually. So I think from now on if I hesitate because of the cost, then yeah I'll just hold off. Like sure I saw Darklon for a few dollars cheaper than I paid, but I really liked him and don't feel bad about that.
 
The "wish I waited" one that I regret the most is Law & Order but also if I couldn't get Law & Order on the first try I would have been apoplectic.

27 bucks for Desert Scorpion is such a good price I kinda think I want another one to army build for the story arc I built out in the file cards. having even 2-3 of those scorpions to chase Dusty and desert Snake Eyes would be amazing.

The SAW Viper hit $17 or so, and the Frag has been hovering at about that price for few weeks. That block of Vipers in the one a day thread put most of them on my radar.
When the Desert Scorpions hit Ollie's or Ross I might just go nuts.

Even before Christmas, I think, Frag Viper was cheaper and for my Amazon at least, he also had a coupon knocking him down to $16.
