GI Joe Fans Unite-- 25th Anniversary Fig Talk and More!
Re: GI Joe Fans Unite-- 25th Anniversary Fig Talk and More!
Not only transformers animated on sale but g.i. joes as well didn't really look at the sale prices on them because I had all of the stuff that was at my local target but maybe someone on here will find something at there local target that they don't have.

I didn't see any joes on sale. Maybe it was because there was nothing I was interested in. I was hoping the Joe exclusives would go on sale too!

Not likely since the second wave of jets was just released. If there was going to be a sale it would have happened just prior to clear out stock of the first wave.

The one thing I think hasbro screwed us on is all the people who collected the other four dvd battle packs then went looking for the best of 80's dvd pack and weren't able to find now have an incomplete mass device which sucks.

I have only ever seen one, and thankfully I bought it. I want to get one to open too, I really want that Alpine...but the rest of it is really, well, not good is it?

Well the duke will replace the single carded one I have on display. I like the CC and the trooper seems to have a new helmet.

Re: GI Joe Fans Unite-- 25th Anniversary Fig Talk and More!
The reason most people were unable to find it is because it was packed with these dvd battle packs and there was only one to a case: Revenge of cobra, Arise sepentor Arise and Pyramid of darkness. So while these three were clog shelves the one 80's dvd battle pack in the case was gone just after it hit store shelves. The one thing I'm glad I did order was the hall of heroes b.a.t. since it was only one I wanted I have all the rest in one form or another. He won't be staying in his plastic prison that for sure.

I do believe Hasbro has said they will be revising the cases to get more packs out there.

Those of us who don't have the 80's pack can only hope they do and release enuff to public before the movie stuff starts clog shelves so we can finish the set off.

Re: GI Joe Fans Unite-- 25th Anniversary Fig Talk and More!
Already checked e-bay and nothing at all which figures because there aren't enuff out there for the sellers to sell. Hasbro has done one heck of a job on this one congrats hasbro you are the most amazing company when it comes to making the first four of something avalilable then shorting us on the last one. I really hope that they get more out there before the movie stuff starts to arrive because the set looks cool and heard the dvd is the best one of all five.

Well I've had a problem with the sound if you play all on the DVD going from the movie opening to an episode. Other than that it's fine.
So I spoke to Hasbro today about Doc and found out they had no record of my order. Well now I have to send them copies of my checks at $5 a clip, although the bank waved the fee of one, also Hasbro mentioned something about curticy coupons so who knows. They did say they still have figures interestingly enough.

I got my hall of heros B.A.T. and he is one amazing figure. I think what stands out most about him is his battle damaged head you can see the inner works of the B.A.T. which must have taken alot time and energy to come up with. I would say if you are on the fence about getting a hall of heros figure this one that is worth money.

Well target put up the collectors sign again for g.i. joes but this time they had a little something extra you are now no longer supposed to ask if they have any of something in the back room.

Is this the same one for Star Wars? Ie. "One per customer, don't talk to children, don't take from other baskets, etc.? That's good for guys like me who just want one or two of something.
So Hasbro is giving me coupons to cover the cost of the fee to get copies of my checks to prove I paid for Doc. Really nice people to deal with just a shame I have to do it so often.

Re: GI Joe Fans Unite-- 25th Anniversary Fig Talk and More!
Nope nothing about One per customer, don't talk to children, don't take from other baskets, etc.? Just stuff about not asking if they have any in back because they won't check for you. The only reason I can think that they put up this sign for both g.i. joe and transformers is because collectors have been asking if they have any dvd packs in the back because there looking for best of 80's pack or if they have any new animated and universe figures or maybe even are the movie figures in the back yet.

I've been tempted to pick up the 12" Beachhead and Shockwave figs. I know next to nothing about the line, not even what it's called. Are they worth my $20 (each)?

Re: GI Joe Fans Unite-- 25th Anniversary Fig Talk and More!
The 12" figures aren't worth $20 bucks my recommendation is pick up either one of new 3.5" g.i.joe or cobra 5 packs and see how you like them because you get a whole lot more for the money plus there are vehicle and other things that you can collect to go with these figures.

I am not a fan of 12" figures either. They feel too much like 'dolls' and less like action figures for me.

I bought the first two waves and out of those only opened Flint and Snake Eyes. I was extremely disappointed with both. Couldn't hold their guns, couldn't stand, and in the case of Flint the peg in his knee broke. I know they can't compete with Sideshow but they could at least make a decent figure for those of us that won't spend upwards of $100 on a toy.

Re: GI Joe Fans Unite-- 25th Anniversary Fig Talk and More!
Well Resolute is on Adultswim. All I can say is I'm impressed with these first two webisodes. Though it's a shame we saw the deaths of two well-known chars before they even got character development.
BTW, CC isn't screwing around this time. All those people in Moscow...
Part 3 we will get Snakeeyes vs. Stormshadow. I'm sure we'll see Destro and Baroness very soon. I'm just hoping for Zartan and the twins as well.
