Ohhhhhhhhhh, I thought I'd already missed it. Thanks for the post!

[Lantern_Lad]

Wow... Hope my contact comes through for me.

[Python_Puckman]

Ohhhhhhhhhh, I thought I'd already missed it. Thanks for the post!

You're welcome! Leave a couple red Jinx for me :)

[krisk]

so whats the price for the HISS at the con?

[SonOfMindbender]

I just missed them!! Great prices!!

[CobraCrimson]

U f'n kiddin me!!?? Sold out already after less than a minute of you posting them!? They only had like a couple of each then

[theprocess]

Ah crap. Its sold out. Ffffuuuuuuuuuuu

[CrimsonGuard101]

they werent in stock yet to begin with...they do this ALL the time lol jesus I am not even that impatient...they haven't been able to load the numbers they will have available yet...

[Python_Puckman]

It's been my experience in the past with BBTS that they add new item pages with the "Sold Out" status until they are ready to start taking preorders. Then they will flip the status to "Preorder". Just bookmark the pages and check on them from time to time. That's what I've always done.

[The Batman]

That is so fucked up.

[RolandofGilead]

Those aren't very reasonable prices.

[CobraCrimson]

Those aren't very reasonable prices.


Compared to ebay prices, those are clearance prices BBTS is offering them at.

[Dealer Destro]

Those aren't very reasonable prices.

Really Rol? After seeing ebay prices I figured you would be all over this.

[Python_Puckman]

Also noticed they have a Gold Head Pimp Daddy Destro for $75

SDCC 2007 Gold-Headed Destro Exclusive - GI Joe Exclusives Convention (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=HAS20789&mode=retail)

Does anyone remember what Zarana and the Sarge went for on BBTS? I remember them being less

[Fast_Draw]

they werent in stock yet to begin with...they do this ALL the time lol jesus I am not even that impatient...they haven't been able to load the numbers they will have available yet...

They were in-stock. I've got 1 of each on order just in case I can't get them on HTS. They were long before this thread was posted. Prices may be high, but still cheaper than eBay on the Joe exclusives.

Was kinda worried about this. I didn't remember them doing it that way with Zarana. :(

Also, I did the same thing as Fast, and noticed that after I dropped my pre-order, the price went up $15 for pre-order.

[theprocess]

Excuse me for expressing my frustrations...instead ill throw a party when I purchase one $75+ for one.

screenshot or it didnt happen.

[RolandofGilead]

Really Rol? After seeing ebay prices I figured you would be all over this.

I'll take my chances with HTS just like every other year. That way I can grab my exclusive in the first 30 seconds it becomes available and then watch as the site crashes and all the items in my cart stall out while they somehow (almost miraculously) continue to be purchased by unknown persons until the site comes back on line and they are all sold out.

There's something to be said for tradition.

[Repeater_24]

They were up I missed red jinx but was able to pre order some of the marvel stuff before they sold out.

[Fast_Draw]

screenshot or it didnt happen.

How does one do that? I've got the email time stamps to prove it lol.

[CrimsonGuard101]

pull up the pre-order page and hit prtscn then paste it into paint and save it as a jpeg and upload it to your profiel page and link to it in your post :0

Zarana and Sarge were at $39.99 as well. Got both of those off Amazon.

I got my Pink Zarana from BBTS last year for $35 or close that, definately was under $40.

[Python_Puckman]

How does one do that? I've got the email time stamps to prove it lol.

I'm curious. What day did you buy them? I've been scanning the site for weeks waiting for them to post and I just found them today?

[Python_Puckman]

Ok cool. I was thinking $25-$30 for some reason

[Repeater_24]

They popped up about a hour or so ago

[Fast_Draw]

See attached for my emails with the time stamps. The first file connects to the second.

[CrimsonGuard101]

They popped up about a hour or so ago

Ahh then they could be sold out then. Damn scalpers holding out on us not posting to let us know! Prolly only had 3-4 of each in stock. I got some pre-ordered on ebay anyways but wanted some to scalp out to pay for my Lt. Falcon lol..

[kingphilbert]

It's been my experience that pre-orders are available for a few hours, and up to 12-24 hours in some cases before being publicized by them, or before they eventually make news here. It's happened on most Joe pre-orders in the last year. I hope you're right though.

[The Batman]

Ahh then they could be sold out then. Damn scalpers holding out on us not posting to let us know!

Love how people keep secrets until after the fire starts!

[Repeater_24]

Guess I had missed them up earlier this afternoon then. All the preorders were up a hour ago besides red jinx I had assumed they had recently gone up.

[CrimsonGuard101]

Love how people keep secrets until after the fire starts!

Yeah I wonder who it was sitting on BBTS for the last 3 weeks constantly hitting F5 with search on "exclusives" or do they have searchbotz helping them that email when the stuff goes up? How do they find this stuff so fast lol...

[Renegade]

I'm just going to repaint the movie Jinx coming out next year since that's a lot cheaper and easier for me.

[Repeater_24]

By the time I ordered my marvel stuff both jinxs had sold out or I would have posted.

[manic mailman]

Does bbts have order limits on stuff like this?

[Python_Puckman]

Damn. Well, hopefully they will acquire more later. I'll just have to keep checking back.

[CrimsonGuard101]

Does bbts have order limits on stuff like this?

just the amount you can add to your cart of available items. Lie if wanted 450 Nick Furries all I gotta do is hit add ot cart an dcheck out...no limit

Damn. Well, hopefully they will acquire more later. I'll just have to keep checking back.

Yeah I already have 3 pages set to auto refresh lol...

[Python_Puckman]

Personally, I have a bot. I really should add email though after this :D I only used it for Zarana and the Stinger Jeep before that.

[Fast_Draw]

Scalper? I ordered one of each for myself lol.

[slim19722]

Ok cool. I was thinking $25-$30 for some reason

Just checked my BBTS order history and I got Pink Zarana for $29.99. But after a few minutes after I placed that preorder, the price went up to $34.99(I think), but BBTS honored the $29.99 price for my order.

[Bernit69]

$14.99 ea. at Comic Con

[Jinx723]

Okay cool, always learning something new on Hisstank.

I'm wondering if the GIJCC are going to get any SDCC Exclusives since they didn't get last years Zarana.

[galen]

didn't make it! anyone bought extras and wanna sell

[theprocess]

What galen said.

[GI C]

So the variant is the unmasked white version.Whooo,I only want the red version.

[orezona]

$14.99 ea. at Comic Con

The real rub is that I'll be in SD this weekend... one week before the Con!

I'll be F5ing it like everybody else hoping against hope that HTS miraculously learned from last year.

Speaking of F5-gate, has anyone else noticed that HTS.com's server is located in Canada?

[CVdelgado]

this plastic crack is a bad habit...

[Ruin]

The BBTS prices aren't all that better than eBay pre-order. $129 bucks - free shipping

[Shadow Ninja]

How does one do that? I've got the email time stamps to prove it lol.

You shouldn't have even wasted your time so tired of the whole "pic or it didn't happen" You and I both know its true cause we got our orders in no need to prove it to other people....

I would.have.never posted it up here in the first place either.. Just let my fellow Joe friends know and that's it.. If you were under my friends list the I would contact you about it.. If not why would I announce to the whole world so they would sell out in a couple of minutes.... Guess this gives everyone another reason to bitch instead of bitching about the convention.

[Viper6]

that lasted 5 minutes! sold out when i got there. got two red jinx on ebay for 109 shipped, eh. no complaints, think thats great price actually!

[fireflyguy]

That hiss is a little more expensive than I'd like to pay, but it does come with quite a bit of smack, so it's really not that bad of a deal.

[MonkeyBoyZ]

Won't these also be available on HTS?

[Shadow Ninja]

HTS usually crashes so your just better saving yourself time and aggravationand grab them off ebay..

[Shadow Ninja]

People don't break it down but plane, hotel, food and time in line does't compare to just paying the $130...You stand in line for 6-8hrs from what I've been told by someone that goes... Better to work earn pay and pay someone for their time..

[Fast_Draw]

I know, but I didn't want to be labeled a liar along with being labeled a scalper lol.

[brock Samson]

Yeah, I hear you. Headed to New Orleans for a work trip in a few hours...

The real rub is that I'll be in SD this weekend... one week before the Con!

Thanks PP

[SkullBuster]

Damnit! I lost again. There's no way I'll be able to catch HTS if/when they sell.

yup, i waited 5.5 hrs in line at joe con, dont feel the least fkn bad about selln my shit for profit, that said, no complaints about my jinx score. 109? great price cause im guessing they will eventually sell for more! that said i dont really care about resale value...cause im NEVER selling. one goes on the wall and the other i play with, i mean uh...display, yeah.

[angelofdeath69]

I ordered one from ebay. i was impatient like that. hopefully everything ends all right. happy purchase!

[Nightrain]

Thank god I can live without these if I can't get them.

[80sKid]

Dang I showed up way too late to this thread! I really want all three of these!

[CrimsonGuard101]

Dang I showed up way too late to this thread! I really want all three of these!

For now these are a lot more reasonable markup wise on Ebay then the Joecon stuff. But once they sell out the demand is goign to skyrocket and so will the prices of course...scalpers need more don perione and caviar up in here!

[Snow Wolf]

Wow! Not even a day later, and I missed the boat.........I am thinking that Jinx will be another Sgt.Slaughter mess. I sure hope not, but it seems to be the case.....

[Python_Puckman]

I know I'll be camping out on HTS.com again this year pounding on the ol' F5. After that mess is over, ones should start becoming available on BBTS again as folks cancel their preorders.

Buying toys should not be this hard and stressful. This is supposed to be a relaxing hobby dammit!

[Davestro]

I'll take my chances on HTS...was able to snag pink Zarana and the Skyscreamer last year. If not, I can wait and snag on evil bay.

[SkullBuster]

Hey I forgot...do they usually sell on HTS during the con or exactly the day after? I think they usually do it that following Monday morning. If so, I'll be no where near a computer.

[Ruin]

that lasted 5 minutes! sold out when i got there. got two red jinx on ebay for 109 shipped, eh. no complaints, think thats great price actually!

I paid $130 shipped for both the Red and the Variant. I too think you got a good bargain

I'm no expert, but i think shortly after SDCC you and I both will look back and be happy we bought it for the low sums we did...

[MrClean]

It's after the con. But last year it wasn't the Monday after, but a few days. Can't remember which day it was though. I'm sure some of the F5'rs can tell you.

[Slim]

I thought I missed something until I saw the 129 dollar hisstank. Starting to quickly get over my joe obsession.

[Hellion42]

I think it was Tuesday at around noon eastern but don't quote me on that.

[Python_Puckman]

I was thinking it was a Wednesday, but definitely noon Eastern Time. I had just run back to the office with lunch and all hell was breaking loose.

[CobraBlue]

Isn't this Jinx just a re-paint of the the Retaliation version?

[Python_Puckman]

The paint job on the Retaliation version threw me off, but looking closer at it, it does appear to be the exact same mold

So the hype over a SDCC Exclusive figure this year is another professional kitbash. And if you look hard enough around the web, you can find SDCC Zarana (the comic book version) for $39.99.

I won't be upset if I can't get this from HTS or somewhere else for a inflated but reasonable price because I can just re-paint. It's just sad though having to pay big prices to complete the original ARAH stuff.

GL Painting that dragon logo :) to me that is worth the 54.99 I paid...plus she comes totally molded in the proper colors...and will last 45 years more then a custom job..

yeah, same here. i haven't gotten a pre-order or anything from ebay yet, but i probably will. my only experience *successfully* with customizing has been with vehicles. figures were never my strong suit.

IMO - I was just never a big fan of that red jammies Jinx... The white variant looks like she's pissed off and it scares me! If I have the money, the FSS Jinx would be my "go to".

Cool I hope a lot more Tankers feel the same way and make posts like this too.Some reverse psychology to make E-Bay sellers think she's unwanted and maybe I can get one for under $20! #WishfulThinking

[kennywr22]

I like both jinxs. Gotta say after seeing the fss jinx in person at the con, she is looking very cool. Gonna own a lot of jinxs within the next year.

[sbartek1974]

So have these Jinx figures not just not come up yet? Are we still waiting? Or are they really sold out?

[slim19722]

I just preordered white Jinx and then it went to "soldout", so she was briefly back instock.

[MrClean]

Don't forget, if anyone wants Jinx's vintage backpack with a modern peg, you'll have to track down last year's JoeCon parachute drop figure.

I bet some of your heads just exploded. :)

yeah, we hate female action figures. So everyone can start selling their excess Zaranas for 5.99
