I did some research and looked at the F-35. Which is an update of the F-22 and is multi-platform capable. There are slight design differences in which I can custom a F-22 to an F-35. But overall, I was hoping for the F-18 to be the "mainstay" of the Joe carrier ready air force. Which makes sense since IRL the F-14 was replaced by the F-18. But being that the F-18 toys are scarce now and F-22s can be found easily. I'm thinking that I might just go with the F-35 idea. Especially since the Joes are supposed to be getting the most up-to-date stuff and the F-35s are slated to replace the F-22s in about 10 years. Here's info on the F-35 (in case you're curious): http://www.globalsecurity.org/milita...y-variants.jpg ******** And to answer your question, yes I am still looking for a ground ops Shippy.

Ahh, ok...I will check when i get home, i know i have both of the ground shippys ,just dont know where i have them.
As for the planes, i originally bought two of the f18s and i had other planes, but all they did was hang on lines from my ceiling, so i slowly started trading/selling them off. I am down to the thunderwing, a stripped f18, and my vintage nightraven. They just take up too much space really. |

Yah, I thought about using the Thunderwing but instead of that silly missile thing, put the VTOL engine of the F-35B. But after looking at the plastic construction of the Thunderwing, it would be a bit tough to modify the wings and such to look like a F-35 vs a F-22.
As for the Ground Ops Shippy... Yah, if you can find it, that would be awesome!! Let me know. I'm making him a personal image figure. Mainly a repaint/recolor to Desert Colors. RP did a stunning job on my siggy Shippy. He looks just like me! I want to do a figure the same. SE - Yah, I don't mind being outbid. I just hate when EBay trolls come in and beat you with one bid at the very last minute. It's like they just chill there watching the item and sit there watching until it's late then pounce with some BS $.50 overbid. I mean, come on!!! <edit> I'm also working on a Black Hawk set custom that is actually looking up. I've got all my figures (three) and just waiting on the chopper itself. Anyway, I'm outta here. Time for happy hour!! YO JOE!!! </edit>

the missile thing was super awesome though, aiming for missile runs or flipping it to bomb run mode. I had briefly thought about gutting the missile compartment for a vtol engine, but then i decided to downsize my aircraft.
As for your ebay tribulations, if you bid your *absolute* max and you get outbid, it shouldn't matter since you bid the max you were willing to. That being said, i generally bid my max bid in the last 30 seconds. I don't camp on the auction, i just add it to my watch list and do my bid at the last minute. If i win,great! if i lose, its ok too because they bid more than i was willing to pay for the item. |
