^It was something to the extent of "Wow you have replies to almost every thread" and there was a sarcastic remark and I just followed up with a joke to that, lol I have to go back to using quotes again so I don't feel stupid, hahaha ^

that wasn't me I hope. I had that the other day in the DC forum. It was on July 4th and the forum was slow, so it was easy for that to happen.

I think I might've tried that once for fun w/ just smileys, but my phone doesn't load fast enough....

I'm not sure how long it's been this way, but Sideshow bumped this set, the single Cap, and Winter Soldier up to October!

No! No! Stop with the move ups throwing off payments >_<

I noticed a page or so back the most up to date release schedule by OSR puts this as a December release - before then I think it was October.

I know its annoying, I flexed the Winter Soldier so I can keep him for JAN but the 2-pack is not on flex so I may have to cancel, DAMN you SSC!

Being new to this hobby, this is the one where I learned Paypal is automatic and instant. At the time it kinda stung, but now... now I'm happy that this one already paid for.

Yeah, priorities suck. But if only losing the $34 works better for you than the whole $340, then you made the right call.

I think I may just end up selling the Steve diecast shield and just buy the red one off eBay.

I'm really hoping the quality of the RWB shield I ordered from China is ok. I'm not expecting great things for only $24, but who knows.

I'd wait for a review on the $25 onesixthkit knock off before dropping $100 or more on ebay

I pre-ordered this two-pack and I'm psyched about it, but I'm really, really hoping I can use the extra body to upgrade my TFA Cap. My plan is to use the extra body and Rogers headsculpt with the TFA uniform...but I'm worried that the TFA uniform just won't fit the new body. The TFA uniform was designed for a shorter, thinner figure, and it has those pants that only reach to the top of the boot. If worse comes to worse I'll just pop the Rogers head on top of my TFA Cap, but I really would prefer to do the body switch.

I was contemplating doing the same thing, but I'm not sure the TFA uniform would fit on the bulkier civilian body (assuming it's similar to the GA Cap body). The top wasn't the easiest thing in the world to take off or put back on the regular body. And even if you do manage to fit the top on the new body (and can zip it back up), the articulation's going to be even more limited than on the original TFA body given the decrease in slack. And then there's the issue you mentioned about the pants being too short. It sounds nice in theory, but like you said, the TFA uniform was designed for a shorter, thinner body.

I wonder if anyone tried something similar with the TFA uniform on the GA Cap (or really any body bigger than the regular TFA one). I know thinner bodies worked better for articulation, but I don't remember seeing any attempts in the opposite direction.
