I was on my way to do laundry when I saw it by my front door. Just got back, and no promo sets were sent with it. They better not have screwed me!

I’ve two shipments coming in.

When I got the D&D set the Mimic was a bit delayed.

Yeah, seems that if Cerebro shows up on your receipt you should receive one.. just may ship seperate.

Lego’s website is a fucking mess with their pop ups that take forever to go away, meanwhile you’re forced to reload the page a million times.

Kinda want a little noise box that plays:



That I could put with it.

Already built a Nightcrawler minifig, gonna have make Morph (should be easy) and a Jubilee.

Think I have a Deadpool from an old helicopter set too. Gonna need more baddies.

Nightcrawler and Colossus would have made this even more of an instant purchase, even if they raised the price to $350.00
 
Saw some leaks on 2025 Marvel Legends. Something about ROM with mini comic, green & yellow Banshee with mini comic, past BAFs coming out as Deluxe, some sort of deluxe Spider-Man and separate Hulk with extra heads, other stuff.

Thought I read a while back it was loosely linked to the GI Joeverse.

May have even helped the GI Joe DEF subteam come about.

I thought I heard on a podcast Beachhead's descendant is in COPS.

Actually yeah! Checkpoint is Beachhead’s son.

Beachhead probably my favorite Joe, and Storm Shadow my dawg in Cobra.

Have a couple commissions of my faves from one of the GI Joe figure designers. Also have a signed sketch of Storm Shadow done by big dawg Larry Hama too.

Have you seen the recent Super7 ReAction+ o-ring figures? Never saw in stores, but was able to order Snake Eyes V2 comic version & CoCo cartoon version which looks very good. Both do. Itching to hear what's coming next, but seems radio silence and not even any announcement when they became available to buy.

I’ve seen some of those and the big ass Classified guys but I’m sticking to the 80s stuff and still need to finish my “82 straight arms in decent/good shape” collection.

Need to really buckle down and move the 2000s/Pursuit of Cobra/GI Joe Club stuff if there is a market for it as I need to trim the collection a bit.

There’s been a bit of start and stop with the GI Joe line over the last 10-20 years but it seems the Classified line has legs.. was really tempted to grab a couple but I’ve been able to control myself.

Doesn’t seem kids really give much a shit about toys anymore. Shame really.

Just today I saw what looked like some kid grab a 3 pack giant bigger than shampoo bottle figures of Batman villians for around $50 for granny to buy him.

These days, kids would have to make an effort to find old GI Joe cartoon to watch and get hyped to buy the Classified figures. One store here still has Big Boa on the peg even though he looks cool, but kids have no idea who he is, etc. Another has Retro Beachhead unwanted.

Big Boa, Beachhead, any/all Storm Shadows, Croc Master, and a BAT would have been what I bought. …to start out with. And then more. And more. But they’re just too big.

But yeah, the movies didn’t do to well and there’s no current cartoon or game so kids have no real entry point into the property.
