something you gotta get!
 

I scored some sweet stuff today. first I got my latest maruders order (you can never have enough guns). And second I got a tactical assult vehicle from smalljoes.com. Usually I'm not to keen on mixing in not joe vehicles but for price of this thing, its unreal. Its on clearence for 7 bux knocked down from twenty. I can do without an extra 12 pack of beer for a day. The detail is incredible and the setup on in is extremely versatile. You gotta check it out and pick it up, for the price its a killer piece to add to your dios. I can't wait to take some pics!

I Picked Up Some 86 Joes Today
Hawk V2
Beach Head
Dialtone
Mainframe

Also Some Cobras
Televiper V1
Crimson Guard Immortal V1 :d

I got Silver PDD from Hisstank today. With talk of flea markets I'm tempted to hit mine up tomorrow. I haven't had a good flea market find in ages!

I'm out.. but in..
 

I'm out of the hobby by selling up most of my stuff.. but I'm in because I'm sticking to my own customs and ARAH :D

Anyways.. I just got a set of AK74's w/grenade launchers.. from Marauder Inc.

Alpine and Deluxe Swann!

Pretty good day! I got my Whales from ebay. One's great and almost complete, the other is so-so. Then I found wave 2 singles at Wal-Mart. Picked up Beach Head, LJ, Cobra Trooper, and Cobra Commander. The others didn't really do much for me.

YOU FOUND WAVE2??? I don't even have a complete wave1 25A!!!

However, in spirit of this thread, I just 'won' a couple of single 25A MOCs. v2 SE and Hooded CC. I just need a 'cheap' Cobra Officer to finish the wave. Thing is, I don't know if I am interested in the army builder Cobra 5-pack. I love Wave2 and Wave3, but man, I just can't get into a Stinger Driver or Jump Pack Troopa MuthaFrakka.

I have been on a bit of an E-Bay spree as of late. I've been dying to take my camera home to get a nice group photo of all these:

Delivered:
Capt. Gridiron Complete
Repeater Complete
Recoil sans double gun
Hardball Complete
Dice with Axe and Bow Staff
Static Line with the thing that goes around his chest
Kwinn sans wolf
Sideswipe/ Lifeline Two Pack MOC
Tiger Force Lifeline
Tiger Force Tripwire (the worst condition one of the lot with a broken crotch)

To be Delivered:
Shockwave v. 1
Mercer v.1
Road Pig
Moto Viper
Big Boa
Iron Grenadier

I got them all for a reasonable price and all are in near mint condition. Now I have to take a break from buying for a while, but its gonna be hard once the 2nd wave of 25A hits town.

I don't know how Craig feels about Repeater, but I LOVED the guy. it was like, for us in that age, GI Joe was losing it's militariness. The intro of Repeater was awesome cuz the figure was cool. Sure, the head mold had a lot to be desired but a steady cam machine gun ala Aliens??? The guy was slated as an old war dog and in my view, could kick Heavy Duty, Roadblock and RnR's arse all over. I loved this figure. In the same way that Falcon and Tunnel Rat were instant faves in that they were military oriented, not goofily oriented like Ice Cream Soldier and Raptor.

Already out of the packages. ;)

More stuff...

Dont normally post in these....
 

...but Ive just won this:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....:MEWN:IT&ih=007

I am so pleased. I love Wraith

It's a very nice figure, but expensive too. Hasbro could give us something like that.

Damn! I was watching that until 9 min out. it was at $56.07 or something...and I was gonna go $75.00...guess it wouldn't have helped! Congratulations! I'm glad it went to someone I know!

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHoooooooooo

I finally decied to post some of my new stuff.

1 Clone Trooper Shock Troop.
1 Sigma 6 kamakura ( For customization)
1 crapload of paint.

Aye, I was expecting a few snipers so I put a really high limit on it-
I really wanted this one, its not very often I would pay that much for a figure.

Just wish Id found it when the BIN was still an option :rolleyes:

Frank,

Many, many, many, many thanks brother! The PTE Battle Command Post and the Marine PBR arrived safely in the packcage. And the best part is, it avoided the customs :D.

I also receive an eBay bought:

Bazooka v3 complete;

SAW Viper v1;

Colonel Courage v1 complete.

Glad to hear it! That's what friends are for! Sorry it took so long to get to you! I'm sending out your legs for Xamot/Tomax v1 and an Agent faces in a few hours...hopefully it won't tkae that long!!

The things got a few long because of the postmen made a paralisation this month. But I can wait, wait doesn't kill me :D.

Some mad fool in Manchester has been selling off the bulk of his GI Joe collection, but it did lead to a parcel arriving at my house today containing:

Rock & Roll v2
Alpine v1
Outback v1
Incinerator
Ferret (the DEMON driver)
Techno-Viper v1
TARGAT v1 x5
Iron Grenadier v1 x2
Wet-Suit v4 (to repaint the neon)
Barricade v1 (to repaint the gold)

I guess I'll take this..
 

I guess I'll take this as a compliment? :o Yeah I think so.. it's as close to a compliment as I'll get this year. :D

Went to a flea market today and scored some decent custom fodder.

From ebay, I got the 25A Hooded CC and 25A v2 SE.

THen I found 25A Wave2 (most of it) at Target Friday. So chalk me up for a Cobra Trooper, Lady Jaye and Buzzer. Beach Head was sold out otherwise I would've nabbed him over Lady Jaye. Serpy was available too but I can wait on him. If I miss 'pentor, I won't cry.

I also got my package from that "Mad Fool" In Manchester:
Blaster
Maverick
Storm Shadow
Hot Seat
Bullhorn
Laser Viper
Topside

Thanks Rich

Got another Cobra 5-pack from Wave1's assortment. No sign of things otherwise.

I just ordered from Mastercollector 2 Mars Mayham sets.

I plan on selling all the figures off except the Anvil troopers.

So that is an instant army builder of 12 Anvil's!

Me's happy!

I went into Target looking for 25A Wave2 Beach Head.

Instead I found 25A Wave3. I bought 'em all 'cept the Red Ninja. There was a v2 Stormy and a v2 SE also (which I passed). Still need that Beach Head! WAH! That means, I got Firefly, Shipwreck, a Cobra Officer (FINALLY!), Zartan (my god what an ugly face) and 1 other figure that I can't remember right now.

I'm trying to get the NOVEMBER contest figured out.

I almost have the Grand Prize figured out. I mean, I KNOW what I'd like it to be but with elusive distribution of figures, it's really hard. The 2nd prize should be really cool and 3rd prize should be... Haven't figure that out. This time tho, I plan on sending out goodies to all who enter. Now if I could just get GS to keep a look out for a couple of figures... ;)

Damn, Graham! I Live in Southern California.....you know, the spoiled red-headed stepchild of the other 49 states....and yet there either aint shit as far as the 25th is concerned, or it's selling out as soon as it hits the shelves! Anyway.....

I finally got my 25th Anny Serpentor (thank god for eBay!), a couple of Urban 6 pack fireflys for a friend and a Detonator with 2 Nitro Vipers! I'm gonna use the nitro vipers to drive the DTC missile launching hiss tanks! I also scored a few night attack chopper missiles for my austrilian (? SP?) Brother! ;)

I also ordered a new Annika MKII.

If I won the grand prize in October am I disqualified from entering into Novembers? Just curious. ;)

I haven't decided yet, Dr. Jone. It was luck of the draw that the 3 members were winners, y'know?

Thanks to Frank (who else?), I now have a complete rack of missiles for my NAC, plus a few extra should I lose some. THANKS FRANK! :D

Okay, a big day today. This year's con set arrived, along with the two jet pack troopers. Also received last year's con Ferrets, and the 2003 con Air Viper. (International air express; very fast :) , very expensive :( ). Look out for some pics soon!

I got my Grand Prize today. Thanks to Sonn for the goodies.

That was pretty quick. I sent it Friday and there was even a holiday in the way! :D

I got a 25A Beach Head ala EBAY and will be getting a Cobra Legion Stormy from someone on the JBL soon.

How in the name of Snake Eyes did you get the two Jet Pack Troopers? We're they part of the Con set if you preordered???

Received my my con flash from ebay today. This figure is an awesome piece.
