Now that you say that, i bet i can answer both our questions.

Cobra commander must left Destro on ice so he could basically take the M>A>R>S organization from. Get all his money, weapons, resorses and people.

Stupid looking m.a.r.s. troopers become cool looking cobra troopers. All cobra commander had to do in those 2 weeks was change there uniforms. hummm..? Enough uniforms to outfit a whole army in 2 weeks...?  He probly went to ebay and order them BUY NOW, got em direct from China ....LOL

Ya, i got the renagades storm shadow too. hes pritty sweet !
I would love to get the p.o.c lowlight. He was one of my favorite figs. back in the day.

Why the hell is the p.o.c line so expencive anyway...?  Limited release or something...?

I remember seeing it on the shelf for a little while...All i bought from that line was the steel brigade. If i knew then the where gonna be worth so much ( the p.o.c line in general ) I woulda bought all i could. But i thought they looked dumb @ the time.

Another one of those woulda/could/shoulda moments..... LOL

COOl !  But still, i think the last price you where asking for them was 3.75$ each. correct ?

So 100 cases x 3.75$ each is 375$ and i havent even payed shipping on em yet...

If i get em from diredt from collecting warehouse its 150$ for 100 cases plus 90$ shipping.

Thanks for the offer though...?

General Joe Talk / new retaliation movie/ notes/likes and questions.?

CAUTION !!! IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED THE G.I JOE RETALIATION MOVIE, THIS IS YOUR OFFICAL SPOILER ALERT!!!
First off, i wanna say i was so dissapointed with the G.I joe the rise of cobra movie, that i held off going to see this one in theaters.
In r.o.c i found that the cobra characters where so poorly done. Cobra commander in particular was REALLY, REALLY bad with his breathin aparatous thinggy. Destro's look was bad too. And non of the cobra troopers ( did they even have cobra troopers in the movie ? Oh ya ...Thats right they had those horrible looking MARS troopers ) even looked remotely close to ANY of the figures EVER !

And non of the g.i joes had there own costume. Granted they each had there different weapons, but  every g.i joe was dressed in the same grey and black camouflage outfit.

The only characters that had a version of there original costumes was the ninjas.

Ok, that being said. I watched the new movie tonight: Retaliation. And it was good, i really liked it. I liked how Duke wasnt in it much. LOL
Cobra commander, Firefly, Jinx, Joe Colton, Lady Jay, and Flint where all very well done. They all had some resemblance or accessories with them that made you beleive that you where watching that character.

I do have to say, i was disapointed that the Eaglehawk chopper wasnt in the movie..?  Are they not re-releasing the Tomahawk under the Retaliation line...? I thought so..? ( I may be wrong ? ) I was expecting to see it in the movie.

And why did they ever release a Retaliation figure of Zartan as Zartan..? They should have released a figure of the president and just labeled the front of the card as Zartan, ( lol) because you only see Zartan as Zartan for 5 seconds in the movie, and its only his face a little bit.

Did the same person who wrote the first movie wright the second one too...?  Theres obviously going to be a third one coming out.
Did they have a trilogy planed from day one.?  If not. whoever took over wrighting the Retaliation movie did a fantastic job erassing the crappy characters from the first movie and making them look like they where supposed to.

I realize that every G.i joe or cobra character cant be in every movie, but it would have been nice to see Baroness in this one again. What..? since Destro's on ice, shes taking a break from the cobra organization ? And why the hell did Cobra commander leave Destro on ice ? I thought they where best buddys..?

Let me know what you thought of the movie.?

Hey bud, great to hear your into the vinatge stuff.
I could have gone that route also ( vintage filling in with modern )

I used to work @ a second hand store for 8 years. Unloading the and sorting the stuff that came in. I know, i know collecters paradise right..?
Well it was. LOL
I had some half desend figures from every imaginable toy line for like 10 cents each. Picking up all kinda of extra accesories and figures.
Besides the stuff i had left over as a kid i had all this extra cool  swag laying around. And being so fond of g.i joe, my collection ( although i didnt view it as a collection because it was loose ) grew to a nice perportion.

I had vintage joe stuff mainly from 82 to 89. A lot of the early stuff. ( this was 7 years ago mind you when the vintage was rock bottom price and the modern was going through the roof ).. I sold entire joe collection for 250$ NO LIE! Kicking myself today. LOL
I had 30 + vehicles
150 figures easy ( dont know if they where all complete or not ? some where, some where not )

I remember telling the guy " look this is a good deal for you because the skystricker plane i have is 98% complete ( parachute missing ) and its going for 130$ so you might aswell gimmy the 250$. Go home and be happy.

That guy was probly creaming in his pants the whole time he was dealing with me. LOL

But, In retrospect im not diapointed because im what they call a completist. And @ that time or in this day and age i could not see myself trying to complete the vintage loose g.i joe series from 82 to 90 whatever. Thats a big reason why i sold them. I knew i could have gotten more out of them if i took my time selling, but i wanted them gone before i desided to COLLECT THEM ALL !

Plus i like in the package stuff.

But still, i should be kicking myself for selling loose figures for 250$ back then ( 2007 ) taht i could take my time with and make 2000$ now.

Lets just chalk it up to " oh well " and move on. ....I love my 25th ann. sealed mint on card collection in starcases.. LOL

Hey i picked up a vintage Devilfish vehicle with box blue prints and instructions, plus a mint 100% complete 1983 torpedo and mint 100% complete mj. bludd. All loose. I need 27$ for the whole lot to break even. You interested.? LOL

WOAHHH,,,,Thats scaryyyyyyyyyyyy!

If that fuzzy bear idea would won out, there would be 300,001 people less, worldwide collecting g.i joe line. Me included!

But on the bright side @ some point we woulda had a G.i joe/Muppets cross over comic series.. ;D LOL

New/Used  whatever. Looking for any amount of starcases to fit 25th ann. line. Not the ones with g.i joe printed in the plastic on the back. Just regular starcases from protech.

100 of them would be ideal.
shipping from the states is so expensive! EhHH.....For the new ones.
