I'm digging it.  Because it's about American football, I doubt many of you guys watched Adrianne Palicki in Friday Night Lights but she's very good.  Oh yeah, FNL is worth watching even if you don't give a crap about football, and not just 'cause the next Lady Jaye is in it, either.

General Joe Talk / Re: on blowing huge amounts of money on G.I. Joe

I don't even want to begin to calculate how much money I've dropped on Joes since getting back into them in 2007.

I'm kind of like Jon, for the majority of that time I was single.  I do have a car, but it's paid off so just gas and insurance (and hot rod parts) go into it.  Thankfully my GF is very understanding about my Joe collecting, though she does wonder what the heck I'm gonna do when we have kids and they want to play with all my pristine Joes.

I think my single biggest expenditure at once so far was $375 for a 99% complete USS Flagg.  I've tons of $50-150 vehicle purchases though.

I just hope Shipping is not way too much as that will be the breaking point for these figures for us.

If some of you guys want to do something like get a few of you together and have the club ship your figures to me, then have me do a big ship of all of them at once to you to save $$$$ I would be more than willing to help.  That is, if the Club would let ya do that.  I'm in TX so the initial shipping to me can't be bad.

Hopefully people that plan on getting the figures are satisfied with what they're seeing. It isn't the impression I've gotten from threads like this, which is too bad. This being the internet, it might just be that the negativity is rising to the top.

I've planned on subscribing from the start & I'm still going to.  So far I'm pretty fond of Quarrel, Iron KLAW, Dice, & Topside.  Jinx is ok but I'd much prefer a classic version.  Nano-BAT doesn't do much for me, & I'll be selling my Tan Grunt.  Barrel Roll's ok, but that's just WAY too much brown!

The 30th Anniversary SkyStriker is obviously a new mold but replicates the original almost perfectly.  Can you give us some insight into how you reverse-engineered the original so successfully?

I'm disappointed by Jinx.  Not so much about the outfit update, but by the fact that she doesn't have a full ninja mask like the classic figure.

As for the big box reveal, it's a relief.  The boxes the Club used to send out the exclusive figures were just horrible.  Incredibly flimsy.  I'm extremely lucky my Dial-Tone arrived undamaged because the box it came in was pretty much destroyed!

Based on the leaked list there are unfortunately about 5 or 6 figures I want. I say unfortunately because thiis means my chances of getting the likes of jynx and cover girl (the two I definitely want, along with every other collector) are basically gone. So my question is, is there any possibility that I can get AT LEAST my money back on the ones I don't want?

Which ones do folks think will be in most demand, besides the obvious cover girl and jynx?

As for the figures, overall they all look really nice. Even the ones I have no interest in (Iron Claw for example) look nice. I just wish they wouldn't be so darn expensive, particularly for Canadians.


If you don't mind the hassle of putting them on eBay, I'm absolutely sure you'll be able to at least get your money back.  As for me, the one (so far) I know I don't want I've already worked out a deal for  ;D

Tan Grunt's the only one I'm not excited about...at all.  New characters I don't have in 25th style excite me...I already have a 25th Grunt from the TRU 3 pack.  The backpack doesn't do anything for me either.  I didn't know there was a great outcry for tan Grunts...
