G.I. Joe Classified Series

Royal Guard is my biggest want. I asked my parents for that 3-pack for my birthday primarily because of Royal Guard. I just loved the character design.

Hey gang, mind if I self-shame myself as a Joes collector?

I was just reorganizing my setup, those couple of new guys who showed up this month had the shelf a little crowded. Rattler Baroness fell, just tipped over, nothing bad. But when I was resetting the shelf, her glasses weren't on her face. Visions of the TINIEST accessory flying across my office never to be seen again. I tore the office APART. Particularly tough cos my vision is wonky so I need to move between different pairs of glasses to see TINY THINGS or not see double, I can't do both at once.

45 minutes and two gallons of sweat later?

The glasses. Were in. The bag I keep her extra gear in. They were there the WHOLE TIME. Sometimes being crazy anxious is exhausting.

On the upside: Amazon shipped Law & Order!!!! Buuuuut not getting here til Monday. Saw the shipping notice and was hoping I'd get to mess with them over the weekend.
 
That literally just happened to me while setting up my Silverhawks shelf. I noticed Copper Kidd's hip disk was missing. I was moving furniture looking for it before I started going through all the unorganized bits bags in the closet.

It was literally in a bag on top of a box at chest level right next to the shelf.

That sounds about right. I think we all have had something similar happen to us at least once in our lives.

My family has a saying for something we can't find....."I put it somewhere safe. So safe even I don't know where it is."

I'd be lying if I said this was the first time I'd torn my office apart for a missing piece, but usually I see it fall and go ping-ponging across the floor so I have just cause for a search. This time? Pure panic and stupidity. The glasses were inside her helmet inside the bag. (I think I might be neurotic about it as an adult collector just because as a kid, between me and my two brothers, we lost EVERYTHING so every piece feels important to me now.)
 
Breakers a-plenty at the Target I hit yesterday, ten on the shelf.

I'm loving Pythona and kicking myself for passing on Nemesis Enforcer and "Once a Man" CC.

Everytime this happens to me, which is a few times a week, I lose sight after it first hits the floor but I start looking where I think it bounced and most of the time it has ended up somewhere completely shocking. Totally other direction and/or extremely far.

I dropped one of the tinier pieces a few weeks back and after a half hour of looking for it, I got annoyed, went to leave, put my shoes on, and stepped on it inside my left shoe, which had been five feet away in the opposite direction that it bounced.
 
Speaking of dropped pieces—anyone know what this piece goes to? It fell out of my “infantry dudes” box last night so I can narrow it down to like 15 characters…
