I'm actually disappointed with the Hit & Run figure. He's my favorite Joe and the 25th one doesn't, IMO, do him justice.

Ah, I can see how a fan of the original 1988 figure could see the 7-pack version as inadequate, since they didn't "hit all the notes," so to speak. Speaking as only a casual fan of the character, though, I found it to be decent.

I would LOVE to see a Hit & Run figure done in the sculpting and detailing of the 2010 Pursuit of Cobra figures.
Spearhead would rock for that too. Muskrat would make a great addition to the Jungle Assault part.

I still think Low-Light will be the centerpiece of the return of the Classic Joe sometime after mid-2010.
But a City Strike Low-Light that is detailed like the Beachhead... yeah, that would kick so much ass it's not even funny. So I'm thinking of picking up the Crimson Hydra today. Does anyone have the original VvV Skysweeper? I'm depressed, haven't worked on my base in awhile. Just keep reorganizing my Joes and not liking the direction the base is going. Running into the problem of being too big again, not able to do the detailing I want cause it's just so big.

I hear ya. I'm organizing my Joes too and although I'm happy with the operational element, the sheer size needed for the base Pitt HQ staff is friggin' enormous.
In my org, all operational Joes have base jobs when they're not on mission. The operators cycle is Operational > Leave > Base Job > Training / Ready Reserve > Operational The big problem I'm having is that for every base job held by an operator there has to be someone there when that person is operational. For example; When Dusty isn't deployed he's the fridge and air conditioner repair man but what happens when he's off in the Middle east and the ac breaks at the Pitt? do they wait for him to get back or if he gets back? hire a repairman to go to a top secret classified facility? I'm kinda adverse to using greenshirts as well. I like the idea of a city full of Joes like in the new IDW comic. But the city idea means the base and personnel are HUGE |

Does anyone have the original VvV Skysweeper? Great little jet. Really cool. I'm SO excited that Cobra is getting this fighter. Yeah, a Low-Light that's as awesome as that Beach-Head would be fantastic... I know I've said this a couple of times previously, but I'm totally going to use that Beach-Head as Sabertooth. I can't wait.

So I went to Wal-Mart last night, they had the Ice Dagger.
Been to Tru couple days before, had a couple Dragonhawks and the Skysweeper. Had stopped at TRU last night, no Dragonhawks by the Skysweeper. Went to both Wal-mart and TRU tonight, meaning to pick up either the Ice Dagger or Sky Sweeper. Both were gone. I was pissed.

I'm kinda adverse to using greenshirts as well. I like the idea of a city full of Joes like in the new IDW comic. But the city idea means the base and personnel are HUGE The way I figure it is that say the overall size needs 4 vehicle mechanics. Clutch can double as a mechanic when not on a mission, he wouldn't be the guy in charge of the motor pool that has to be a non-mission guy, but he can be one of the mechanics. Maybe Crankcase is also a mechanic. So if there's 4 mechanics required, with 2 of 'em being mission Joes, then that means that there HAS to be 2-3 non-mission personnel to keep the place running when others are on a mission. Sure, they'll be short handed but there has to be people there to do everything. Then have to get into the mess hall staff, the cleaning/maintenance staff, all the admin/office stuff that is required (finance clerks, file clerks, etc..). Making the PIT a "real" entity is a pain in the butt and kind of boring, lol

Troynos, you may be the only Joe fan in the world who sits up worrying about who cleans the Joe's mess hall. Seriously, worry more about having fun killing Terrorists. You can always outsource the cleaning staff... that what we have contractors for.
