karamazov80 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I saw that Michael Crawford had a review of those up yesterday. Cool that Hasbro is still chugging away with the classic line, though I've personally lost a lot of interest (I do have that Airtight figure pre-ordered through BBTS, though ).

youbastards Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I've actually renewed some of my interest in these lately, I need to get a list together of 'catch-up' items, but I finally scored both Cobra Island sets. Some of the Joes I played with quite a bit as a kid are in that Cobra Island set, Hit & Run, Ripcord (or whatever they renamed him due to the Wayans factor), Outback, and Chuckles!!!

karamazov80 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I need to pick up Ripcord, Wetsuit, and Recondo eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gambitron Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Anybody else see the preview for GI Joe Retaliation? I think it looks like it will be just as good if not better than the first. I am excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I watched it and i must say it looks better then the first for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I've actually renewed some of my interest in these lately, I need to get a list together of 'catch-up' items, but I finally scored both Cobra Island sets. Some of the Joes I played with quite a bit as a kid are in that Cobra Island set, Hit & Run, Ripcord (or whatever they renamed him due to the Wayans factor), Outback, and Chuckles!!! I saw those sets at a discount chain called Ollie's last year around this time (might have been the year before, now that I think about it) for like $8 a set. I passed, then thought about it, then got into Joes after picking up some of the IDW reprint trades, then went back... and they were gone, of course. I still can't quite forgive myself. :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Ok, I finally got around to updating my want list to include the G.I. Joe 25th Anniversary (and newer) items I am looking for, if you can help me out, please PM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 PM sent! Also, I got Renegades Scarlett in the mail today -- she's great. And I should be receiving Storm Shadow any day now, cannot wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Decided to order Law and Order and Sci-fi off of eBay; i go back to school soon and won't be living anywhere near stores to hunt. And i certainly was not missing out on these two, Law is a favorite right behind Flint (can he get an update in this line?! PLEASE?!) and Sci-fi has never looked more incredible. I have some Renegades Cobra Troopers and Scarlett on order at BBTS, this line is just fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I almost ordered 3 Ren. troopers from BBTS, but decided against it. It's those pants! They're freaking parachutes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youbastards Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 PM sent! Thanks Punisher, I still owe you and a few other members some replies. I managed to find most of the new figures at TRU this week, Sci-Fi, Airtight, Law & Order, Lifeline, Techno-viper. Still looking for the new Storm Shadow and Zombie Vipers if anyone can help. The BBTS Exclusive Dreadnoks/Marauders also arrived, as did the Slaughter I won on eBay! It has been a big Joe week for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Can't have the Marauders without the man himself. I would like to get a SDCC Sarge, but can't justify the prices I've seen him go for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Yeah, I paid way more than I wanted to, but my fear was that after the Marauders came out, demand would be higher than it is now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I saw a Renegades Scarlett yeterday at walmart for $5 and didn't pull the trigger. I couldn't. Cool figure or not, I have no connection to her. At best I'd turn her into classic Helix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlecat Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I never watched Renegades, so I have no connection to that either, but I think it's the best Scarlett they've ever made. To me she just looks like she's wearing a modernized/realistic twist on her old uniform, like some of those awesome Joes in the POC line last year. Same goes for the new Stormy, really great figure. But yeah, I guess if you want a straight 30th update, this ain't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Yeah, I paid way more than I wanted to, but my fear was that after the Marauders came out, demand would be higher than it is now... I picked up an SDCC Zarana right after the announcement of the BBTS packs for the same reason. I haven't ordered the sets yet, but I'm pretty anxious to. Oh, and the Zombie Viper is pretty sweet.

youbastards Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Yeah, I got standard Zarana too, but passing on 'Cold Slither' unless I can get a really good deal. I would like to eventually get Triple T Slaughter, but he is going for $150+ right now. I want to get the figures I had as a kid, the 'new' stuff is cool, but not a priority to me. Unfortunately, that means I need to try and track down Claymore at some point too... $$$! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I'm okay with my Build N Brawl Slaughter, but I NEED a Zarana. I'd like a Cold Slither, especially if they do the rest of the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I finally scored a Zombie Viper, and this is one of the coolest Joe figures released in the 25th/30th line to date. I need to try and track a few more of these down for my collection, I don't 'army build' Joe figures, but I need at least 5 of these guys to have a shambling horde! I would love to see Sideshow translate this into a 1/6 scale figure, maybe for a con exclusive or something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Well, you don't really have to army build, cause you can use 1 for every other like. Stick a busted Storm Trooper helmet on him to be Death Troopers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I caught the last Renegades figure on clearance for $2.50. It was Scarlett. I'm happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Where are they clearanced at? I've only seen them at full price. Anyone see the pre-Toyfair reveals? All movie stuff, but there's actually some neat figures that will fit in well with 25/30 ann. stuff. Much less bland then the last batch of movie Joes. SDCC exclusives will be Jinx and a HISS tank deco'd to look like Shockwave. I guess this is the new exclusives formula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Walmart. It was the only one in town that still even had them at all, so I guess that's something. Unlike last year's variant of Cold Slither Zarana, I must have both Jinx's this year. Which makes it annoying. But that HISS Tank is awful and the color scheme is uninspired, so I'll be passing on Shockwave. And as a man who bought 99% of the entire RoC line, I'm ready for another go with the movie lines.
