Action Force 1:12 scale figures by Valaverse

[ragacin]

So did the all wounded warehouse figures actually sell out in minutes? I went there Wednesday at 2:23 and every single new figure was sold out. I keep checking and same. I was hoping to get the Black Spec Ops and gear and maybe Blowback and a sentry.

 

[screamingmetal]

Yeah, The few damaged boxed items did sell out within minutes. I had the luck of getting on there when they first went up early 2 minutes till the so called sell hour and placed my order only to have my order canceled and my money refunded a half hour after the sell out because it was "unfair" to others that I placed my order when these where available. Some dip sh t at valaverse fu ked up by putting them up early, and I'm the one who did something wrong.

At this point I'm hoping someone else starts making basic military figures and equipment in 1:12 scale to give us more options.
The Fresh Monkey Fiction Operation Monster Force is quite promising. If they start making affordable basic generic military dudes, they'll clean up.

BTW, if you want a Blowback, check BBTS's Blowback listing periodically. Even if it's marked sold out at the moment, they periodically put up figures that people cancel for sale. I've seen Blowback pop up as available a couple of times after it "sold out"

Yep been checking them Screamin... no luck with Blowback, but I have gotten other figures like that in the past. Captain Rex comes to mind.

On another note, does anyone know if the "specialties" of the new core characters like Atlas, Sidewinder, etc? Bobby said a while back there would be airborne troopers and divers, so I was wondering if the new core guys were either of those. If not I may bite the bullet and get the gridiron dive set.

 

[screamingmetal]

Yeah keep checking BBTS, I saw the Night Ops Steel Brigade and Killswitch pop up for availability yesterday and the original Swarm Trooper is available again right now, you never know.

I know Atlas is a heavy machine gunner, and there are desert and arctic themed troopers coming. He has mentioned doing airborne and divers, but nothing else is known. I think we will see more unveiled at Joefest at the end of June.
As for the Gridiron diver set; from what I've heard, take caution with the straps of the flippers and dive mask, they can break if you stretch them too far. I recommend picking out feet that will fit before trying them on.
BTW, GI Joe Classified is coming out with a Torpedo figure, you might just want to wait for that one.

A couple of reviews of the Gridiron set:


Laruan ni Obiwan part 1

Laruan ni Obiwan part 2

Oh BTW, does anyone have and extra black spec ops trooper and gear pack they could sell me? I had to wait on getting them because of other figure expenses and now the website is sold out. No boxes required, just complete.

You and me both. I was hoping the Spec Ops trooper would be available a little while longer. It's possible they took them down to sell at Joe fest and they might have a few more available when they're done.

Finally made it back to the states and opened my Duster army that i had bought while on sale. Man, I hate that I slept on these figures for so long. Now, I want them all. Sure hope that they do some more re-issues in the future.

Just saw the notice about Valaverse’s mail away figure. How many action points are on a normal figure?

 

[screamingmetal]

Thanks for letting me know!
The $32 figures are 2 action points and the basic trooper figures and gear packs are 1 point each. weapon packs don't have AP and there are some specialty figures like Bloody Pandora that have 3 AP.

• Each Action Point excl. figure is $14.99 + 20 Action Points.
• Limit of two Action Point excl. Figures per customer, If mailing in Points for two figures, 40 Action Points are required.
• Do not order anything else with the Action Point excl. Figure(s).
• You must mail in all your Action Points + a copy of your AP exclusive figure Order Confirmation page which has your order number.
• Action Points must be removed from the packaging
• Action Points received without a copy of your Order Confirmation will be discarded.
• Customer is responsible for shipping and sending in the Action Points + Order Confirmation.
• Valaverse is not responsible for any lost or unreceived Action Points sent by the customer.
• Allow two weeks for you order to be shipped out once your Action Points + Order Confirmation are received.
• Send the Action Points + Order Confirmation to:

Valaverse LLC
PO Box 19001
Johnston, RI 02919

• Refrain from sending inquiry messages about receipt of your Action Points until two weeks after you have mailed them out.
• If you are attending a convention Valaverse is present at, you can bring a copy of your order confirmation & the Action Points to pick up your figures; OR You can buy the figures there as long as you have the required Action Points with you.
• While supplies last, if you place an order, you will receive an item.

A little confusion in the listing, you need to send a copy of the Action Point excl. figure(s) Order Confirmation page in with your Action Points. I assume that's a screen shot of the Order Confirmation page on the Valaverse website or, maybe a copy of the Order Confirmation email? More needs to be clarified there imo.
Looks like I'll have to fid some way of printing out my order confirmation as I don't own a printer. I suppose I can go to a Fed Ex store and print out my order confirmation email from my phone.

Good to hear! The Swarm Trooper is the only reisseud figure still avalable most places, I still need to order one of these new and improved Swarm figures myself. We know that Pandora, Condor, Bone Collecter, & Kerak are getting reissues soon. Iv'e also heard, I don't know where, that the Delta Trooper might get a reissue with the Gillie Suit set.

 

[screamingmetal]

I finally sat down and cut out all my Action Points, I was surprised to see my point total hit 100 exactly!
I do have 1 AF figure sitting in my pile of loot at BBTS so that point won't count yet.

 

[BuddyGus]

Looks like their restocks are in. But their website looks to be having issues.

 

[screamingmetal]

Yeah, it took me on and off all day today to finally get a order in a few minutes ago! They really need to get their s** together and fix that stupid website of theirs.

 

[BuddyGus]

I haven’t had any luck.

 

[BuddyGus]

Finally got an order in for Kerak, Bone Collector, Condor, and the Night Ops Steel Brigade. Hopefully gonna pick up some of the desert troopers soon.

 

[screamingmetal]

In hindsight I probably should've ordered a Condor since the stock is lower than the Desert Troopers and Gear pack if that site glitch that showed the remaining stock during the cluster #!* on Tuesday was accurate. I have a Condor from the first wave, I would like to see how much improved this new one is and kitbash a new character with the second one. I only had enough to order 2 of the Desert Gear pack, hoping some of these will still be available in two weeks for the next paycheck.

 

[screamingmetal]

The mail away Action Points figure should be going up to order on the Valaverse site sometime today. There will be a video with a link to the item posted on youtube sometime today.

The figure looks pretty cool. Would make basking a Chuckles pretty simple.
