Had a minor haul today at Target: ROC Flash, Armored Scarlett, Paris Pursuit Storm Shadow (unmasked, no long coat) and Pit Commando. Passed on Hawk. Overall I am quite pleased with all of them. I am thinking Pit Commando makes me think of Deep Six with the boonie hat on, and no armor. Its a very solid, well done figure.

Newsflash from the Texas Front. Cobra forces continue to rise.
Resolute
Trooper (x24)
ROC
Ice Viper (x3)
Star Trek
Uhura (x1)
Today I got a bunch of parts from the 1992 GIJoe Headquarters I needed to build upon my Shadowloo Headquarters to make a Cobra Battlefield Fortress.
Because y'see, when Hasbro issued the Shadaloo Fortress, they didn't include ALL the parts from the original tooling. The front perimiter, rear maintenance bay, top gunner's nest, guard rails, all guns/missile launchers beyond the double-barrelled one, etc. were all left out.
Now I've got pretty much everything I need to have the fortress look whole. I'm just missing the gunner's nest, one piece of guard railing and the fuel nozzle and accompanying hose.
Given it's taken me over two years just getting the initial pieces I needed... I'm in for a long wait. :(

Got my hands on some ROC toys. Bought the Armored Panther, Eel, and Paris Pursuit Baroness.
Never had an Armadillo so I was happy to get my hands on the AP. Managed to remove the side mounted launchers.
LOVE the Eel. Gives off an evil-Navy SEALs kinda vibe.
Baroness is cool. I'm going to use her in my Joeverse as Chameleon. Only complaints are her head seems kinda big and its impossible to get her to sit thanks to that skirt.

Two ROC Cobra EEL with Wave Crusher, Target exclusive, join my forces. I was going to buy a third, but I really think I should wait for the next paycheck, in which I also plan to get the other exclusives and the Rhino. After buying 24 Resolute Troopers, I'm feeling a pinch in the weekly budget. Don't like that feeling.

I'm thinking of using these ROC Cobra's to fill up my "Plague"!

Heh, I apologize. I hadn't either before today, I was so excited when I turned the corner and saw her right on the front of the peg.
Initially when I came in, I didn't find anything that led me to believe that wave was here yet. The display up front was loaded with exclusives and stuff, all wave one and two RoC stuff, and then in the back of one of the pegs, I found a general hawk! So I hurried back into the store deeper to find those up there. I left like 4 pit commandos and one helix I think.
One of those Helix is now Scarlett:

[QUOTE=KALASH69]Heh, I apologize. I hadn't either before today, I was so excited when I turned the corner and saw her right on the front of the peg.[/QUOTE]No problem, I was (mostly) joking! What's weird is that at two different Targets, I've seen the Eel from the Helix wave, but no one else! I don't know how many of each figure come in a case, but it seems odd to me that people are buying all the Hawks, Flashes, Helixes, and Pit Commandos, but leaving one Eel behind.
Scarlett's head looks pretty good on that body, though I find that I actually prefer the "reactive armor" version better. Personally, I'd like to see a "Paris Pursuit" Scarlett -- Rachel Nichols wore that jacket and jeans very nicely! And it would be a perfect body for an LBC Cover Girl that would be more accurate to the original.
P.S.: I feel bad for poor Firefly, but at least his head has something comfortable to rest on before he goes... ;)

As for RoC Scarlett's head, Im using that for a cover girl custom (If I can't secure DTC Cover girl parts).

Psh. You bought the wrong Heavy Duty.
I picked up Destro and Snake-Eyes for the same price.
I don't want them, but the two for one sale ended today, and I can exchange them within the next 45 days, so if new figures show up during that time period I can do the twoforone on them... and if not, I'll just exchange them for a second Neo-Viper and a second Viper Commando.

Greeting Alien and other mortals
I picked up the PAthfinder,Ice Digger and snake Trax.
Since noone really said anything about the ice digger I will say my thoughts.
Straight up repaint.Its almost a really cool Cobra Color blue.I almost decided not to put the joe stickers on it and get some cobra stickers for it.I will be getting the Artic HISS so thats the only reason I didn't.
Anyone who reads my post know I like real firing missles.It has 4 and shoots 2 at a time from the pop up attack cabin. No lights and sounds but oh well.
You can fit 7 figures in/on it. 2 in the driving station, 1 in the front gunner station,1 in the pop up station,2 on the foot pegs on the sides oif the vehicle and 1 in the rear hatch that opens.
Its a slick looking vehicle and reconmend getting one.
frostbite is a repaint of the winter Snake eyes without the acc he has.Just a generic black masked head on him.
He would be perfect for a simple head swap for a snow team.
9/10 I don't give 10/10 but this would be close.Pic tomorrow as its my day off.

The big score is that I just finished a deal with a guy here in town who is selling me his whole collection of 75 figures and 43 vehicles for $2 a figure and $5 a vehicle. :eek: Vehicle lot includes a Mostly complete Whale, Moray, Skystriker, Conquest X30, 2 APC's, STUN, Rattler, Snake armor, Thunder machine.

So the next waves are hitting you there.....must be coming my way soon (I HOPE)
I has new stuff!
MOC Episode 1 Amidala. Mostly a useless toy since I don't collect Star Wars, but her head is ideal to replace my ARAH Cover Girl's.
Major Altitude: My RHINO copter needs a gunner, plus all things considered he's a pretty cool Frankenjoe.
A pair of fodder arms
Badger missile, one of the two pieces my AWEFUL was missing
And the best part, a Cobra Ice Snake! With this and my WOLF, my Cobra snow forces are starting to look ready for the winter!

Yes.
It screws over retailers who won't be able to sell the product. Or if an unsuspecting parent buys the toy... the kid is screwed over because he's got a broken Stinger with an old Cobra Officer with broken thumbs and a broken crotch instead of the Steel Crusher, as is the parent who bought the swapped toy.

I do agree it shouldn't be done. But they retailers pay up to a 3% in insurance to cover stuff like that. In the end if it doesn't sell they can send it back as damaged,opened,or just as a return unless the item is NR non returnable which with hasbro it usually never is nr. Its still wrong but retailers don't get screwed its the common joe fan that gets screwed. Maybe hasbro should repackage all the 5 figure sets separately since most of us want just one fig out of it any ways. I do agree with roland its not larceny or grand theft its not like you held the people up. It costs hasbro nothing to produce figures the cost is usually in the making the molds then after that the produce hundreds of pieces in minutes for cents to sell them for 9 bucks a pop. No one ever really wins in this game called life unless you play unfair. Just giving my two cents since I was a retail manager for 8 years and my dad is a mold maker. hopefully I don't piss anyone off with my opinion. :) cheers DD

I got Reactive Armor Ripcord and Accelerator suit Duke today at TRU. The Ripcord has a great body, but the head sits a bit high, kind of like the Duke one that I have been passing on. That is the first ROC Duke I have gotten. I also saw the SRO pack with Grunt and Speed Metal? It was the goofy ass Serpentor bald head on a golden-y colored accelerator suit. The Grunt looked to be a straight up Zartan in disguise repaint. Pass all day long on all those SRO packs so far.

I picked up:

Picked up the second set -
Deep Six - :eek: - total loss

ROC Para-Viper
Note: this paraviper is almost the same as the earlier 25th style, but as you all can see of the many photos out there, it's mostly black, with dark grey, and some dark red highlights. But the differences are a bit more. Firstly the hoses are silver, yet when you remove them (as I was doing), you can see they are molded from a ruby-red transparent plastic. It should be interesting to see a custom paraviper with ruby red hoses.
The padding on the elbows seem to be of a slightly softer plastic than the previous version. The goggles on the helmet is of a more translucent paint, and also ruby-red. The ammo clips on the leg, above the knife is the only real con.. it kinda gets in the way of the knife if you want to fully straighten the leg. The previous paraviper had the clips on the other leg. There is a hole through the chute right through the cobra sigil, which I don't like. But it's there and I suspect that the spring-rocket shooter (which resembles some sort of flying assisting machine) can attach there. There's a very very long peg that seems to fit into the hole.
The spring-rocket shooter thing looks good without the projectile. There's a helicopter style mini-blade that fits into a hole in the shooter, and it rotates freely. With the extra long peg and the hole in the backpack, it makes me suspect that this paraviper uses the shooter as some sort of flying assisting machine, as mentioned above. The helicoper blade doesn't make sense--too small--but the shooter kinda looks like an aerodynamic rocket pack. But I haven't figured how the figure is supposed to grab the handle bars.

The Extreme Condition 7 packs were ordered from Smalljoes.com. The Rite Aid ones seem to be $21 for each, that's $42, not including 8% sales tax. The SmallJoes one is both for $35, then shipping. The Smalljoes order comes out a bit better than buying from Rite Aid, but I think only if you don't have any previous Extreme Conditions. I don't have any previous ones, so had to get both to see/know what they do offer for my Cobra. So now I am interested in buying another two sets from SmallJoes, then plan to just buy the desert one at Rite Aid if I can find them locally here.
Collection 2 Wave 3 FINALLY showed up here so I got Hawk, the PIT Commando, Flash and Mary Sue.

[QUOTE=vader9900]This weekend was my Anniversary, what kind of sexy gift does a wife get her husband - TOYS!!
I GOT THE PIT!! Whoo-hoo, holy crap this thing is frakkin' big, took me 3 hours to put it together and apply the stickers, and I didn't even put them all on. I got it parked right now out in the driveway, but seriously this thing is cool, lots of photo ops. I NEVER would have bought this thing for myself, thanks to the greatest wife in the world. Also got the Night Raven, isn't it suppose to be black? Mine is blue! Been harassing the kids all night chasing them around the house shooting them with missiles. Nothing irritates teenagers more than their father acting younger than them. Can't wait to set up the PIT for a massive photo shoot![/QUOTE]
Awesome score.I want a pit.I heard there is like 100 stickers to put on.I can see myself say"Honey can you finish this for me.As long as she puts the stickers the right ride up this time.hehe
My Raven is Black so it might be a US thing.Isn't it fun shooting the kids with the missles!
BTW Happy Anniversary.

Yes, I do believe Death is a millionaire. Amazing what a computer programmer/ace cg guy can make!
On my own side... I picked up Sgt Stone last week.
Then today, due to LordRaven's review, I found HAWK today. I was gonna skip him, but I want a different Hawk to use when fighting a battle. Don't get me wrong, I love the classic jacket-ed version, but does he really need that jacket inside a building? ANyway, I rather like him. WIsh the beret (like Stone's came off) but oh well...

09-21-2009, 11:44 PM
Hehe, thanks!
But really, incase anyone was wondering, I got the CG 5 packs from TRU this week more out of despiration. They were on clearance, prices reduced, and had already seen some being sold. Since the ROC line is going on, I figure it'll be my last chance to get some CG's in the classic look. So I bit the bullet and bought a bit more than what I should... kinda regret it now.

Picked up today at TRU a Night Adder,Para Viper, and Kamakura. Guess i was lucky enough to beat the local evil bay scalp(her)..Definately wouldnt mind a few more Night adders in my collection, they have a really great vest that has soo many possibilities. Of course, the new subdued color Paravipers are going to work well for some night insertion shots in working on..
Unless the filecard has changed since I've seen it, Night Adder is an individual not unlike Copperhead, Croc Master and Big Boa, rather than an army builder.

[QUOTE=Sonneilon]Not sure how i feel about the cmdo since i have ONLY 1.[/QUOTE]
Do what I do. Use him as Grunt.
The "real" Grunt is so underwhelming, no one will notice. :p
TRU had a 30% off sale on ROC items so I picked up two Neo-Vipers, two Elite-Vipers and two Viper Commandos.
I would've loved to get a MARS 3-pack too... maybe later this week...

I got an unusual assist from a scalper today! I ran into this guy last weekend at TRU right as it opened, he bought up all the TRU exclusive SRO three packs and after I got mine all the attack on the pit sets! He was fairly plesent but a scalper none the less! This morning I ran into him again at opening and he sold me a Rex and a arctic snake eyes he had picked up remembering that thats who I was looking for also once inside the store he gave me the Pit Commando he grabbed off the shelf cause I wanted him! He also has the manager putting aside a case of the Snow Serpent and Benchpress exclusives when they come in and told me he would set aside some for me if I wanted next Saturday! Now I feel bad, I hate scalpers but this guy is using his connections/skills to help me out when I didn't even ask him too! :confused:
Death_at_Midnight
10-04-2009, 11:20 AM
Grr scalpers!
And at the same time, this one could be an asset to secure some loot. Like you, Scuba Steve, I have mixed feelings on this. I lost my chance to get a Target exclusive MOBAT earlier last year when suddenly all 8 sets (at $54 each) were gone when I went back there to buy one. I know there's a scalper running around here and might have seen him in action a few times.
Anyway, I am frustrated with this TRU and Target, and all the Walmarts in this here city-town. Nothing new and they don't intend to get new stuff for a while. TRU here is stocking up on Christmas items, but concentrating on their Babies-R-Us stock.
I guess, take advantage of this scalper and make him into an ally (sp?) to assist in getting the stuff you need. Better to have him on your side than competition.
Collecting Joes now days is really cut-throat business.
Scuba Steve
10-04-2009, 01:50 PM
Ironic update to my story! later last evening I went with my old lady up to Walmart to get another cheap bookshelf for my joe room and they restocked the Joes, there must have been at least 5 full sets with Rex on the pegs. AAARRRGGGGG! the only figures bought up out of the restock.... all the pit commandos!!! :mad:

Nothing good ever comes of scalpers. The fact that the manager is holding stuff for this one is against company policy and is messed up.

My TRU wasn't having that deal. I took a look and well, there wasn't anything I'd buy anyway. I admit, I am waiting for the NiteRaven to drop in price. So instead, I bought a TRUE HEROES (some tru brand) Blackhawk for what would cost the same as 3 Joe figures at full price. Cheaper plastic, 3 crappy figures, a gas barrel and 2 gas cans... If I were just a kid into generic war toys but had a clue how much things can cost, this thing was quite a deal even at full price. *shrug*

Since I'll be using Jungle Ripcord as the base body for a different character custom, I decided to go ahead and get Reactive Armor Ripcord so I could have a Ripcord without an Accelerator Suit.
Hopefully he'll be the only full-Reactive Armor-costumed figure I get, so it doesn't get redundant.
He does have a cool batch of weapons though, not to mention a useful spring-loaded cannon.

I bugged the guys on the chat and Carlito bought 1 of my solid Wraiths. I still have one. instead of keeping them in storage downstairs, I put my extras on the wall so I can reference things easier. I still have stuff left. It's a pretty crappy list and the prices are negotiable.

So, send me your list by PM and don't forget to mention prices. I would love to get a clear Wraith (dreams are free) if you have one =D.

I got my shipment from RnRhero today. A box full of guns, swords, knives,backpacks, helmets, dio pieces and an incredible assortment of random stuff. All completely as advertised and with quick turnaround. If there is a good trader thread, let me know and you will get +1.

Greetings!
I made an error. In my previous post, I had not purchased the rescue mission exclusive. I did that today. Whatever it was with the mole pod, it was an exclusive from TRU. It's got that neo-viper officer.
Today, I finally did score on the rescue mission exclusive from Target. Snake Eyes in it looks good. Duke is kinda weird, and the neo-vipers are kinda blue.
Also finally got a gunship. I like it, and it'll need a new paint scheme.
Also found the ROC Storm Shadow arctic assault varient.. the one with his head uncovered.

My weekly visit to TRU update:
As I have for the last month or so I headed to my local TRU this morning for the 9 AM toy stampede and once again no scalper guy but lots of empty exclusive holes as evidence of his latest buy out of yet again another weeks worth of exclusives. :mad: Unfortunately no Pit Commandos for me today and I think I have had my fill of Elite Vipers for now so, needing to get my toy fix for the week, I picked up a Joe Senior officers pack for the hell of it! On my way out I decided to head over to another TRU here in town because my Joe fix just wasn't satisfied Yet.
Bingo, finally scored me a Bench Press! Although they had alot of the Snow Serpents as well I passed on em. I have so many of the other ones I didn't really see the need to get more just for a camoflage suite instead of the light grey one.
Well so long Scalper scum and Failed at life toy store manager, I am done with you for now! Next week the Scuba Squad sets it's sites on Target and the elusive Rescue Mission set!

Went to Big Lots and snagged the new PTE bombed-out building! They also had some of the newer stuff as well as the old Command Post. It was $30. You get 6 Marines, an ATV, a motorcycle, and some other gear. Made me feel good after having a really bad day.

Carlito sent me a ROC Breaker since I never seen him around. I owe him a bunch of random doodads and goodies.
I checked TRU today for BenchPress and he was not there. :( So I bought some Hot Wheels cars for Thomas as well as a few... Well, you'll see. NOthing GI Joe related, mind you. lol
