I read Chapter 1 of the 1st Thrawn book to see if I'd get motivated to pre-order the Black Series Archive figure now on Amazon, but still not enough motivation.

Had to reorder my tmnt figures from neca, they came opened, broken but all pieces inside. Its like someone broke it and put it back in just to laugh. Ffs.

40$ a figure x3. Donatello's arm was ripped out of the socket like he fought bigfoot. Michelangelo's head was between his legs and leonardo's hands were cut off like he reached across a poker table.

Yeah...

That was intentional alright.

Glad they're making it right.

Its not neca making it right actually, but the toy store i ordered it through.

I was thinking if Hasbro sold figures unassembled to save costs and reduce the price, I'd be cool with that as long as it's properly painted.

The GI Joe Retro HISS Tank and TVC Slave I are assembly required.

This Classified Firefly in-hand face doesn't look as messed up as the initial reveal pics did, but does look too blurry from the Photoreal inkjet paint.

Firefly, Zartan, Flint, and Stalker, are my favorite G.I. Joe characters!

I got this for myself as a retirement gift from the military. It's freaking AWESOME.

Then good thing the upcoming Classified Zartan and Flint look really good.

Thinking about trying to turn Flint into Venom Snake somehow.

I saw an Iron Ken 3000 youtube vid that cited Hasbro saying scalpers better sell high now because hard to find G.I. Joe Classified figures are coming back again. Saw another vid of his telling story of Target manager caught buying a case of 6 Cobra Vipers while one dude camped in the store for 8 hrs waiting and being told none in stock.

That's badass. Those (and Tunnel Rat) are my favorite.

I like Skywarp the best.

Robot mode was crap in the vintage figures, but the jet's were legit.

the 250 bills is not an easy sell for me, though starscream and the rest of the jets were always my favorite of the transformers visually

Replaced my G.I. Joe o-rings for the first time and kept going until most were fixed. Apparently a fresh o-ring tightens loose hips. Seems like assembling those old Joes takes like 3 hands. Parts kept falling out while trying to put back together.

The v1 Cobra Commander metal face mask head shape doesn't look right, and makes me want a 3D printed replacement head. Tomax and Xamot head sculpts don't even look like they're twins. My v1 Storm Shadow looks more and more brown than white.

Storm Shadow is Japanese. He, Snake Eyes, and Stalker were in the same unit during Vietnam. After the war Stalker went back to Detroit(?) to help out in his old 'hood and Tommy Arishikage (Storm Shadow) invited Snake Eyes back to his family's dojo back in Japan to help him train/heal.

That's why the have the same family clan tattoo on their right forearms.

I think...
