It's good to see Canprime reap some profit on has stuff. He has always been very fair even below cost in has pricing online and at toy shows. I only wish I didn't already have all of the Sideshow stuff before he sold his. I hope you did well on them Canprime!
And damn you Morgadee for scooping that Desert Officer at the last Burlington show. JK
From the sounds of it they are having a big problem with their mass mailer company. this happened a few years ago as well and they had to switch companies.
My newsletters stopped coming the same time as well, but I did contact them regarding January and February's newsletters and they mailed them to me within a week. I'm waiting on March and April's to see if they or May's newsletter shows up for that matter.
I've dealt with Angie in the past and actually visit with her at the Cons when I attend them. She is very kind and helpful with any issue. At present I have been dealing with Karen via email and she is just as helpful and friendly.
I like this line up. it's a good mix. I wasn't too keen on the first wave of figures but have been impressed when I've seen them in person. Especially Big Boa. I even liked Sure Fire quite a bit.
I agree with Sundance, after having time to reflect on the movie, I did feel something was amiss or lacking and I think it WAS the fact the movie felt rushed. They could have spent more time developing the story and let it play out more. Hence giving more screen time to other characters including Flint.
They also could have showed the other Joe compounds being raided(which was eluded to) and I thought they could have referenced a bit more of the previous movies characters because at one point my brother leaned over and said; "So Scarlette's not in this movie just Duke and where are the other guys like Baroness, Heavy Duty and Hawk? I thought Dennis Quad signed a three movie contract?" He was also pissed Mr. WOOTANG(Blind Master) sounded like he had a speech impediment(Elmer Fud) when he talked. I agree. It was a little distracting for such a cool character.
Overall though I thoroughly enjoyed it and am excited to see what they bring for the third installment. I'm just happy to see they are starting to zero in on the GIJoe mythos I grew up with and love.
Saw it today too. They did a much better job with the characters and story. I wish Bruce Willis was in it a little more than he was. I was surprised and happy to see that Mouse is an actual character in the movie, not just a made up figure. The only scene that I didn't like was: Duke and Roadblock are on a gun range bantering back and forth(amusing) but the range looked like it belonged on an army base in the states complete with english signage not out in the middle of a foreign desert where they were waiting for extraction from a mission.
