GI JOE 30th Anniversary

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Damn! Is this just hitting shelves? I'm still looking for Low Light and the latest Snake Eyes.

The SS was just rolled out this weekend at Toy Fair so it will be awhile.

Regarding the SE's and Lowlight...I just walked past a SE's at one of my Target's today. The one with the interchangeable head right? The Lowlight was found by a buddy of mine at the same store about a week ago but he wasn't there today.

Need help with snagging one of those SE's Flosi? Or do you just have to wait it out and eventually they'll show up where you are?

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

I've only seen POC Snake Eyes (the one with the extra head) once and didn't have the cash on me to get him. I may suck it up and get him on the ebay. A little overpriced but I really want that figure.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Ninjas sure, but not Storm Shadow. He's a one-piece mask kind of guy. This is a very close figure to being perfect, but he really needs his regular mask to make it perfect. They should have included one like the perfect Snake Eyes, so you can have your choice of mask.

The SDCC Skystriker will be mine though

Really? Lol

I'll admit though I do like the one piece mask look a tad better but that can easily be solved by switching heads with another Stormie.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

I pretty much loved everything I've seen so far - this is going to be a very good year for Joe collectors!

Kind of bummed about having to pay for that Starscream/Skystriker on Ebay... but I won't be able to go to SDCC anyway, and it'll still be cheaper buying it on Ebay than going...

I've been looking for Flo, but nada so far.

My sentiments exactly. Plus it takes days to get that funk out of your nose.

lol, maybe - still, I WOULD like to go one of these days.

I've been to the GI Joe con twice, pretty normal/clean people there. Can't say the same for the comic conventions I've gone to though...

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

If I were to spend the time and effort to go to SDCC, I sure wouldn't spend time waiting in line for toys. Apart from the time wasted waiting in lines with sweaty geeks, you've got to lag it around once you buy. And then you've got to get it home somehow. Surely, it isn't worth the amount of money you save by not going to eBay.

You spend most of your time waiting in line for SOMETHING. Be it panels, toys, food, bathrooms, etc. Lines are unfortunately just part of the con experience now.

Yeah, I don't see why people spend about a grand to go stand in line after line for hours on end, being maced left and right by fanboy funk, having to endure the horror of a 300lb woman cosplaying as DarkStalkers' Felicia to score a little toy or see the latest panel about a movie that's likely gonna suck donkey boner anyway. This is why I'm stoked that SSC does non-attendee sales... as I type this I'm buying tickets for WonderCon.

I'm on it gents! I'll head to Target today and see if he's still there.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

I was lucky enough to pick up one of each Low Light and Snake Eyes late one night on BBTS, but I'd love 2 more to open. HTS had more Low Light last Friday but it sold out by the time I had enough to buy him.

Keep an eye on Hasbro Toy Shop and BBTS and you just might have better luck.

But I've had no luck finding just one Cobra Shock Trooper. My area is just loaded with GI Joe collectors so the web is my only hope.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Got it...it was sitting right up front. Was kind of fun, been awhile since I've hunted Joe's.

I did pick up a Death Star Escape Luke the other day at a Wal-mart but other than that it's been dry as a bone up here. A local Target had the new DC line with the Riddler .... The only thing GI Joe I'm seeing are Dusty, Frozen Head Destro and that lame ass Zartan by the dozens.... Peg warmer de jure.

Add the lame "ninja-kick" Snake Eyes and the shirtless Storm Shadow and that pretty much describes what I see as well.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

I'd been away from collecting these, but what SE are you guys talking about? Could someone post a link? Thanks.

This one, great figure based on Sideshow's version of the character:

Wrists are articulated by the way, I couldn't tell by what I see in the package they're well hidden.

Thanks! When I do pass by the toys section I also pass the gi joe section. Never knew they still made nice figures.
