Its time for the next Joe!

[EVILFACE]

Yea but Timber was the reason it was $200. And you can sell him for a good chunk now.

 

[kl241]

Glad I got Timber when he was still only $25 at Monkey Depot.

No new collectors jumping on this line?

Umm... somehow i doubt that.

Clarification.

GI Joe is in the spotlight right now. The movie is making a great deal of cash, and projected to hit the 400mil mark.

That's GOING to create some buzz, regardless if the movie is good or bad. and that IS going to eventually bring some people into the line.

Additionally, every few weeks on the hiss tank, someone asks " are the sideshow joes any good?" and you get some no's, but a few people say " OMG I got one and it's AMAZING in hand" so they buy one, and then go back to the thread to say how awesome it is, and how they're tracking down the ones they missed and etc.

and we even get new members here and there on this board asking about the joes as they come out with a particular person's favorite.

it's very easy to forget that this board only makes up a VERY SMALL percentage of the 1/6th community.

"GI Joe is in the spotlight right now"

While Sideshow fails to keep any G.I.Joe momentum.

Yeah but it's the lame movies NOT the classic Hasbro RAH.

There are new collectors to the joe line...in the last 4 months I have purchased 21 GIJOE / COBRA figures and 2 enviroments. My friend has bought 3 as well.

Now I am only missing Beachhead.

Side story: I tried for 3 1/2 weeks to order 11 of them from an online store...and they were too busy to take that order...so I gave up on them and went to 3 other online stores...and almost cleaned out my LCBS...

they still could of went along with it

heck,Cobra Commander V1 should of been on pre-order by now

 

[kl241]

That's my point. The only new Joes we're getting are from hot toys to support the lame movies. Sideshow decided to take a back seat and let Hot Toys fill in the line, thus further alienating old-school RAH fans.

That's really sad if that is true.

That's really sad if that is true.

Well obviously. The only new Joes up for pre-order with an ETA this year are from Retaliation.

 

[devilof76]

And it probably has more to do with honoring their position as Hot Toys' distributor than it does with them wanting to not make more money.

I will say, my cancellation (most likely) isn't permanent, I just see no need to show SSC any sort of "commitment" when they can't do the same. If the line proceeds (under reasonable prices) I'll purchase Blood when he is released.

Same here. I didn't need to carry the extra weight of a $175 pre-order. I'll get to him when I can.

[snakeeyes171]

where is the sdcc previews

 

[Kibagami]

where is the sdcc previews

Should we be seeing them now? As far as I know, there isn't that much talk about anything SDCC yet. Probably June we'll see a storm of hype coming our way.

 

[devilof76]

Maybe we won't see ****.

 

[Darth Aidan]

Maybe we won't see ****.

sadly this very well might be the case

 

[snakeeyes171]

i hope not , they have three joes ready, maybe one of them is a sdcc exclusive

 

[Kibagami]

Don't you guys got bills to pay?

Man, it's nice to have sideshow pump out all of these figures and crap but I'm glad there's down time so I can save some money.

And on that note, I wouldn't mind an army building of cobra troopers and vipers. That's where I can tolerate the rehashing.
