Customs / g.ijoecollecter3400's Customs

« on: July 26, 2013, 11:57:48 AM »

Hey folks, Im not into customizing because im not set up with the proper materials, but too often i find myself dreaming of customs i would make if i had the time/skill/and patience. So i just wanted to post a few ideas i have and see what people think of them:

IDEA #1. I rescently watched the new Die Hard movie this week. And in the movie there is an attack hellicopter that shoots @ John Mclain and John Mclain Jr. when they are in the highrise building. This helicopter looks earily similar to the Tomahawk. with a few exceptions like; The blades on the taile rotor are to the left side of the chopper and a lot smaller/incased in a circle. Also the cock pit is different, in the movie the chopper has a 2 bubble cock pit. It looks like one area for the pilot, and the bubble above has a bubble dome with a machine gun. It looks like the helicopter in the movie is some kind of real life updated version of the original Tomahawk chopper..?

So with the new Tomahawk comin out soon and a g.i joe retaliation Joe Colton that could so easily turn into a 4'' Die Hard John Mclain. My brain started doing something it doesnt do too often...? Thinkin'

IDEA #2, Cobra Island/ Diorama / whole thing/ 25 feet by 30 feet. LOL Nuff''said. LOL

No but siriously, I would love to hear from you customizers on the whole Die Hard thing. I would even purchase this idea from someone if they could do it very,very well...?

Thanks guys

Looking for people to trade figures with locally ( save us both shipping costs, or @ least lower it ). There are exactly '' ZERO " joe collecters that i know of in my area. But i see that some of you, like silent dusty post stuff in the sightings department @ digby wallmart and new minus and other places that arent to far from me. Heck even just getting into contact from you guys around Nova Scotia would be good enough..!

PM, Me so we can start talkin about collections and stuff.

Im trying to complete 25th ann. EVERYTHING ! right now, getting into 30th slowly. Lots of sealed and loose 25th and 30th to trade or sell.

Hey man THANKS! for the info, you just made my year.LOL

can you answer this for me..? Whats the deal with wave 2. I just got a snake eyes and hiss driver foil, but my cobra trooper from this wave is non-foil with the 25th logo in the corner...?

Is there 2 different versions of each..? foil and non-foil..? or did Hasbro just drop the ball on this one and released foil and non-foil ( with logo ) in the same wave..?

I also have a python patrol officer from the latter wave non-foil with the 25th ann. logo....?

Well if its anything like the new skystricker, its gonna be made with way cheaper softer plastic then the 80s tomahawk. But there isnt anything we can do about that. Also the landing gear tires will be made from hard plastic instead of rubber tires, like the 80s stuff was. But still for the updated nice shinny looking paint and stickers plus a new version of lift ticket in there. its going to be very worth the 50$ or 60$ retail youll have to pay for one. I dont have one yet, but im eyeballin ebay for one sealed and one loose very soon, beffore they double in price. Yes i know, you could argue that : The new 30th ann. skystricker price didnt sky rocket up there in price so why will the tomahawk ? There are several reasons why i think the tomahawk price will litteraly " take off " LOL

1. I was able to get 3 skystrickers no problem @ zellers. Now my local zellers was closed thanks to wallmart out selling them and Target buying out the chain. And my local wallmart probly wont ever get the new tomahawk in stock..? They have had the same 5 early/ugly/ wave 1 Retaliation figures as peg warmers for the last 2 months. Then never ever even got wave 2 of retaliation

.
So i wonder how many other people out there are having this same problem as me..? 1000-2000 maybe..? Where forced to turn to ebay. This will drive up the price FAST.

2. Depending on production #s, If its less then the skystrickers #s thats gonna drive it up to.

And 3. I bet theres a LOT of people out there who have said in the last 5 years " God, i wish they would remake the Tomahawk "
I myself never really thought they would remake the skystricker, but when i say it in the toy isle, i scooped up all 3 they had. If they would have had 10. i would have bought 10. LOL Its gonna be the same with the tomahawk, one guys gonna get there first and buy all 15 of em on the shelf go home and list em on ebay for 40$ more each then he payed.

« on: July 25, 2013, 10:04:23 PM »

Yah..I remember 5 years ago i had six 25th ann. joes from walmart, thats it!. And the pimp daddy destro was topping out @ 400$. It totally dicouraged me from getting more into collecting more 25th stuff back then because it was SO EXPENCIVE. But 9 months ago i was able to pick up the gold p.didi destro for 100$ MINT! I picked back up collecting the 25th line. Now i have 112 figures both canadian and u.s card. A few 7 packs, dvd set, one 5 pack, and 8 vehicles plus the ultimate battle pack. I got bit by the bug BAD!. Well..no wonder..? With the prices so low now a days. Im not rich by any means. I just try to get 100$ or 200$ worth of g.i joe stuff every week. And after only 9 months i dont have very much further to go till i have everything in the 25th ann. line. But i know its gonna be a pain and expensive to score a rowdy roddy pipper.! The yellow stalkers are on ebay every once and a while so that one shouldnt be to hard to get..
