Luke was offering a better deal as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nandoninny Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 yeah, normally i love bbts but i hate that when something is on sale they won't let you put it on pile of loot. i've got some stuff i could get shipped now -- if i could add it to that i would probably grab another set.

THE_CRIPPLER Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Any update as to what is going on with the G.I. Joe line Zach? It has been awfully quiet for a while, which has me worried that the line is dead before it ever really got going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Well, I'd argue the "never got going" point, we put out four sets, but we were just talking about the next sets last night -- yes, I was discussing them on my off-hours, that's how seriously we're taking it! Hopefully you'll see more sets offered for release next summer, we're renewing our Hasbro license and have some tentative plans. Series 3 and 4 may be slightly reconfigured for packaging reasons, but we want to put them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nandoninny Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 fingers crossed. thanks for the update and i will donate $100 to a charity of your choice if you manage to get firefly in there $250 for a tiger force box set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Firefly is not in Series 3 or 4, but hopefully we can keep this series going. Army builders have also been discussed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_CRIPPLER Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 (edited) I don't think Tiger Force, Python Patrol, etc. should be released until way down the line. Give us characters in their normal looks first. I have passed on quite a few of the Classified Tiger Force and Python Patrol figures so far. I'm not a real big fan of the redeco's. Tiger Force Dusty is currently warming the pegs at all of the Targets around me. I did buy the Night Force Shooter figure and pre-ordered the Night Force Wolf Spider though since they are new characters and look pretty cool. I do wish you could sell them as single packs. They looked fantastic in the sets that we got them in. That might even give more people the nostalgia feeling and get them to buy them. Are series 3 and 4 still going to be one set G.I. Joe, and the next Cobra, or will you be mixing them together? Has there been talk of a Dreadnok set of Zartan, Buzzer, Ripper, and Torch?

DSTZach Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Assuming all of our machinations come to fruition, they will likely be mixed up, some Cobra, some Joe, based on a specific episode/mini-series. We'll see how it shakes out. Zartan is on the list, but I think we're a little ways from a Dreadnoks set. Maybe we can do one down the road, with Zarana.

nandoninny Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 mixed up is good!! i don't want to get ahead of myself though but glad there's still hope of getting more! thanks for the update! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Very glad to hear about the renewal, which I assume also means more Transformers. And maybe we'll get really lucky and they'll let y'all do Rom or the Micronauts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Joe fan, I humbly suggest Flint, Lady Jaye, Zartan and Cobra Trooper would be a great set; can be many different stories. Unless you wanna do a troop builder set; BAT, Viper, Crimson Guard, Trooper. EZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Super glad to hear that the line may continue on! Hoping Lady Jaye & Flont make it out in series 3 or 4! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have talked about a troop-builder set, nothing firm yet. Hoping to make 3, 4 and maybe even a fifth set of main characters happen first. We'll see.

hellpop Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 A troop builder set with a standard Cobra soldier, BAT, and Crimson Guardsman would be super cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add Viper for the 4th and blammo, you have what I have been saying! ^-^ It's the perfect set. Then, if they wanna go nuts and it sells, do an environment set with Eels, Snow Serpents, Range Vipers and Alley Vipers. Or do a Python Patrol repaint of the viper/trooper/CG/BAT. Or do a ninja set, with a Night Creeper, Aleph/Night Creeper Leader, Red Ninja and V2/Joe Storm Shadow. As for sets 3-5, Imma still support Flint, Jaye, Zartan, Shipwreck, Spirit, Serpentor, Firefly, Mindbender, Stalker, Zarana, Gung Ho, the Twins and the Dreadnok trio of Buzzer, Torch and Ripper are the big, important ones. Just spitballing opinions. ^-^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had said Firefly had not made it in yet... So... Flint, Jaye, Zartan, Serpentor, Mindbender, Shipwreck and Gung Ho as the seven I named. And if it's 2 Joes, 2 Cobras, the Major Bludd is then one I missed. Edited November 24, 2023 by Navaan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cylonchaney Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Any talk of vehicles @DSTZach? If you don't make them, I might have to. LOL I was looking at HISS tanks the other day thinking a Minimated one would be cute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navaan Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 But seriously though... a Serpentor would be dope dope dope dope. Would inspire me to go make a Serpent Society for my Marvel display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
