These just arrived. But no Destro...WTF? On the positive side I really am impressed with the paint scheme on Tit Menasor. I had reservations about the purchase, but I am extremely happy with it.

 

The legs on the Sgt. Slaughter custom from SDCC belong to Destro. I'm sure that Roadblock and Gung-Ho would work fine though.

How did you get 4 Rodimus figures? I thought the limit was 2. Anyway glad you got your order. Strange that Destro didn't ship with your order.

 

I called Hasbro and the woman I spoke with told me Destro was deffinately shipped seperately, because she had two tracking numbers for my order and both went out on the 31st. Though she couldn't give a reason why. I have 2 HTS accounts. I did that when they were limiting you to one Classics Grimlock per order and I wanted to bash one into Trypticon.

 

Joecon Exclusive Rowdy Roddy Piper

This means they HAVE to make a Sergeant Slaughter!

 

I'm still waiting for that last piece of the card to be shown...of course it's the one we need to see.

 

It's an exclusive to the convention this year. The card looks like it will be 25th Anniversary style. Maybe the figure will be too. I really want it but doubt I will get it since I'm not a member of the club. Here's a link to the thread on Hisstank.com.

25th Anniversary...Rowdy Roddy Piper?!?

 

WOW, you're such a scalper. Why do you need 4?!!! That is what scalpers do!!!

(just playing, those are comments that I got when I showed the 8 I bought  )

Nice haul.

 

Anyone want a gi joe box set I have one in Junkion.

 

That's the second time this has happened to me but I have the link working now. I hope you get one.

 

Ehhh...just go around to cracking open a single 25th anniversary figure (Joe SS). All I can say is WOW! If G.I. Joe's were this kind of POS in the 80's we certainly wouldn't be getting these now. They are pretty to look at, but crappy toys. Those little Army men I thought were junk from Wal-Mart for like $10 a 3-pack are better toys than these things. I'm glad I opened a single figure before I opened one of the box sets...they will stay in their boxes and keep on looking pretty. If I even keep them. HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT.

 

Dang, I've heard of the poseability issues, but are they seriously that poor? I understand the Cobra set is supposed to be much better than the Joes anyways, but even snake-eyes is bad? is it the lack of the o-rings, or something much more sinister? I think I'll still pick up these sets, but that is a bit disheartening Moonstreaker.

 

At the JOE booth at SDCC the rep said future waves will have improved posability.

 

Havent seen em yet. I might order BBTS

 

I got one, last one at a TRU weeks ago. Haven't seen em since. Still need the Cobra one.

 

i got the joe set, a few weeks ago, and teh cobra set coming in from Digital-toys.com ( best price i've seen online)

i have nothing but praise for these figures, i have no idea what you guys are talking about pose issues, i can pose mine 100 times better than thier 1982 counterparts, and exceed my expectations.

Sure, they can have WAIST articulation, and get even more poses, but still, these figs are damn damn damn wicked!
