GI JOE 30th Anniversary

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

I wouldn't compare a toy that is trying to be a minature recreation of the real thing with a fantasy GI Joe toy. RAH was never about super realistic detail.

That was true for the early 80's, but now? Hasbro updated the Joes figures to be more realistic, why not the Vehicles?
I'm not asking for them to make a Hiss tank look like a Bradley or a Challenger tank, but to give the Hiss real working treads, I don't think that's asking for too much.

also, for those of you asking 'bout him, Major Bludd got bumped to the next wave.

Really? What happend? He was originally scheduled for wave eight right? Who will replace him? Because I bought a case, and am now wondering who'll take his place.

I would say the new ones are more detailed, but still not realistic.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

well, in this most recent wave, he was replaced in the case with an extra snake eyes. Bludd is now shipping in the same wave as baroness and tiger-force flint.

as to why? not sure, the did fix his headgear though. no more flat top.

Thank you.


Here are some quick shots of my recent additions minus the H.I.S.S. driver as I won't be opening him until I score an extra one.

nothing fancy but here they are

TORPEDO

ROCK N' ROLL

CC W/ BATTLE ARMOR

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Why does Rock n Roll have different gunbelts?? The ones that go across the chest should be the same that go in the machine gun.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

How are you guys making out on the Target exclusive vehicles? I've managed to grab 9 H.I.S.S. tanks, a S.H.A.R.C. (I refuse to call it a Night Spectre) and an A.W.E. Striker (might get another couple of these). Still need one more H.I.S.S.

Must be nice...I havent seen one HISS yet...Still on the hunt, but I think its EBAY here I come...

I had to start asking around with their stock numbers. I only snagged 3 off the shelves. They may be dried up by now.

I agree! It is TOO fast...did Wave 6 even hit shelves?!?!

 

[Jase]

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

I dumped this line after wave 3 because they release them too quickly and it makes it hard to find. I finally saw wave 4 in the stores two weeks ago...and now wave 8 is showing up? No thanks.
