Dave, thanks to Dodge/Mike, I have a Sea Ray on the way, and as soon as my JRuben stickers arrive and I can get it cleaned up and restickered, I will review it for ya.
DJ, I unfortunately do not have the R/C Crossfire. It does look pretty darn cool, though.

I'd like to see what you can do with the Raider (http://http://www.thegijoeindex.com/joeindex/usvehicles/89/raider/).

Not a lot of people saw this because I put it up, then we were gonna use it for the newsletter so Mike took it down to maintain the newsletter's exclusivity. But I already had something else for the newsletter, so we went with the other thing instead. When the Review section opened up, I guess Mike put it back up here.
Dodge, what makes you think I have the Maggot? ;D
I still haven't forgotten Morgardee and his request for the Sea Ray...my JRuben stickers just came in TO-DAY (WHOO HOO!) so it'll be the first vehicle I resticker. And so it's Wolf, Warthog, and Maggot. Thanks guys, I appreciate the requests, and will pound out the reviews as soon as I can.

Ice Dagger with Frostbite
Dragon Hawk XH1 Helicopter with Wild Bill
I know you said vintage but I thought I would ask any way.

Can you review these ROC Bravo vehicles:
Ice Dagger with Frostbite
Dragon Hawk XH1 Helicopter with Wild Bill
I know you said vintage but I thought I would ask any way.
Done and done, bandonov. Let me get through the other outstanding reviews (Warthog, Maggot and Cobra Gunship) I have first. And I have no problem reviewing new stuff, in fact I usually try to review it as it comes out, but you're right I missed those two.

I want to see a review of the Battlecorps Apache Helicopter please!
LJ, I'd be more than happy to oblige you, and I do have it buuuuuuttt it's in quite a few pieces. If you're thinking about buying it, I will tell you that it's one of the most crappily constructed Joe vehicles EVER, all the money went into the sound effect handle. The chopper itself is very small, barely fits one figure, and the plastic is FLIMSY. What could have been a great Joe vehicle is instead a piece of CRAP. Well, I guess I DID just review it in a nutshell!

Wow...man I'd say you pretty much convinced me not to get it, and that that must've been your shortest and most effective review I've ever read ;D but It still prefer your usual detailed reviews.

I would like to see a review of the Blockbuster. I have it but I just want to know what you think of it! I think it's one of the best vehicules from the last vintage years and no one talks about it! The figure was a piece of crap but I think the vehicule was one of the nicest winter vehicules in the line..
I second 5h4rK on the Blockbuster. Awesome vehicle and great figure holder.

Trust me, I would love to review the Blockbuster. Unfortunately it's one of the few vehicles out there that I don't have and don't even have a line on. I've kept my eye open on ebay and the like but all I've been able to find is broken-ass ones. I've got reviews on the VAMP and SkyStriker ready to go, just need to take some pics. I should be able to knock out several of those requests this weekend.

Since the PoC TRU exclusive Spirt and Quick-Kick are slowly showing up State-side can you review these figures?
As soon as I find them in my part of the world or on TRU.com I will. So far the only PoC I've found down here are the Bravo vehicles, which I've already reviewed. And BTW, folks, I just got in a MASSIVE order of J Ruben stickers, so expect quite a few more reviews in the coming days as I get more of my old vehicles restickered. Also, the stickers include my outstanding reviews on the Air Skiff and Swampfire.

are you sure those reviews are outstanding? :P I'll be looking forward to them. I'm interested in a review of the D.E.M.O.N or anything from the Iron Grenadiers.

I meant "outstanding" as in "I haven't done them yet." :shifty:
Been really, really busy lately. Got reviews done on the two SDCC Slaughters and the Doom Cycle, need to take pics. Then I'll do the Swampfire, one of these days I need to dig out my Earthquake for LatinJoe, and then I'll get to the Iron Grenadiers. I have all of their vehicles, from the DEMON and AGP to the Evader and Despoiler, with the Dominator on the way.
I also have all of Wave 1 of PoC excluding the TRU figures, including the Ghost Hawk and the Mechs. Let me know if there's anything specific from those you want reviewed, guys.

I can review it, but I can also tell you that it's not quite worth $50. It's a neat vehicle, but it's not worth $50. $30 is more like it, maybe $40 if you have to have the driver. But $50? Not so much.It was orginally $80 and went on sale once for $69.99. The shelves are still full for some reason :P

Making Requests! Any of the PoC Alphas!
PoC Alphas review quick summary:
Doom Cycle - Sweet. Dreadnok worthy.
Ghost Hawk - A nice update to the original.
AWE Striker - Nice, but unnecessary if you have any of the 1,000,000 AWE variations already released.
Ice Cutter - WTF is THIS?
I'll try to get to more detailed ones soon, but I think I still have a few outstanding requests from months ago...mainly, the STUN, LCV, and LJ's Earthquake review!
