I am picking up Retro Carded CoCo and Stalker this week along with the Tiger Paw.

Will hopefully hit a Gamestop to maybe get lucky with a Once A man Coco.

I really like the Stinger - only 2 minor issues.  The spikey thing on the front is only held in place with tension, and when the doors are on, with the windshield being tinted it is almost impossible to see the interior or if there is even a figure inside.

That was a disaster for Hasbro - Why the limit of 5? if they new they only had a limited amount.  I will yell at the clouds some more, but I hate exclusives.

An another note, the stinger is amazing, love what they did with it and the repaint of the driver.

Everything I OK from what I can see - I also ordered the Rattler - but patches are lame, and I was hoping for more than just a repaint of the baroness - maybe like a cobra ground crew.
I am not a fan of exclusives and never will be, so I hope they really limit the amount of them.  FOMO kills the hobby faster than items being overpriced.

Same for me, I would be very interested but it would depend on time and place.  So little free time at this point.

I have bought several copies of the comics over the years, from the original releases, to the Graphic Novel collections.  This one looks amazing, and when comparing the cost of what i have spent in the past, isn't outrageous.  That being said,  I now have a digital file of all of them, and don't have the space that another set would take up.  I think I ended up boxing up all of my previous copies and have them tucked away in the attic or the back of a closet.

WOW, that is a bit of a shock.  He was well known to anyone in the early days of JoeCanuck. My condolenses to his wife and family.

Just WOW!

Crazy - and all of this because of some little plastic army men we fell in love with in the early 80's.

So I picked up the HMS last night.  Didn't have a chance to open it yet.  Anyone else get one?  Thoughts?

Agreed on the 60th figures - the accessories are the selling features.  The figures I don't really have a desire for, and the price tag of a deluxe figure has left me skipping them.  But if they ever go on sale (maybe on Amazon) I would grab them.

Techno-viper is a great figure, just wish the hose was a cm or two longer.   And yes Airborne is way better in hand,  not a single quality control issue, and the paint applications are crisp.  Only gripe is his gun.

The increase in prices at TRU is insulting.  It isn't like the stock is flying off their shelves.  And with the current case assortment of a single figure per case, there are going to be some serious peg warmers.  They need to learn how to discount and move stale merchandise.  Target is the king in the US at getting older peg warmers to fly off the shelf.

Wreckage and the Tiger Paw look OK, I am in for 1 of these repaints.
I hope they fix the sloppiness of the Firefly mold.
