Thanks for the link, though I had some issues with it, but nonetheless some cool stuff. __________________ I have a new site for my table top tactical strategy role playing game for action figures and miniatures.

True, but you have to buy a boxed set to qualify to buy a bagged set.

I liked the Black on the V1's better than the grey, but these are cool, too!

Outrider It's been a great ride! Offline --> Posts: 14,302 --> Join Date: Jun 2005	I don't like the con Stormtroopers much at all, the new colours don't look as good as the black/grey of the originals. So far this set hasn't impressed me, I think I'll save my money this year. __________________ "The future's uncertain and the end is always near." - The Doors "Roadhouse Blues".

For those of us that don't like them maybe next year. __________________ SILENT DUSTY "...but for a soldier his duty is plain.

Lava Boss Veteran Offline --> Posts: 3,378 --> Join Date: Apr 2006	There's a problem when the original figure needed no improving, a new version that costs over $18 each isn't something to cheer about. We were getting TRU six packs of RAH reissues for $20 3 years ago. I realize that with limited runs and more paint ops have to charge more (plus the box that not everyone cares about). But apparently nearly 6 times more than retail. That's a lot. 25th fans, would you pay $42 for an exclusive figure? (Current single carded 25th figures are $7)

Yeah, it really hurts man! But what do you care? You're one of the "Clique". You hated me from Day one and you're all so evil and disrespectful. I hate you guys because fo all the bad names you called me and I'm going away forever and forever.....

Nah....Just kidding! LOL! (If ya can't tell, I was bein Sarcastic and TRYING to be funny in light of current events!)

Seriously, it does kinds suck. But I'm not the ONLY Collector out here! Hey, I hated Sigma Six. And I'm sure the Old School 12" collectors hated ARAH. Times Change.Ya take what you can get. I find other things I like (Indiana Jones Vehicles for Example!) and still make Dios with my Arah figures! no worries! when they start making NEW figures for the 25th, I might hop back on board for a few. But thanks for the concern!

(I'll bet you were getting steamed when you read my initial response...LOL!!
