Thanks. Originally I was going to pic up just a Trooper, but after getting the Officer and Commander I'm totally hooked. I want to get a couple of troopers and a sniper before FF comes out. Now the more I think about it, Id like to get Duke and Beachhead too...I've had some extra cash coming in lately, so it's been fun.
I would have ordered a Trooper this week, but i've decided to start getting headsculpts so my guys don't always have to be masked, and lots of extra accessories. I've got a radio, watch, grenades, smoke grenades, and sunglasses on the way with the first two sculpts. I also want to start getting other weapons here and there. The figures, and sculpts are a bit expensive, but the accessories really aren't that bad. Plus, by the time I'm totally done with this dio, I'll only have spent about 50 bucks and still have TONS of supplies left over. I can't imagine going back to the 1:18 figures.

Funny you should say that, I'm considering no longer collecting the 1:18 figures. That or just buying a very select few & thinning out my collection. I know what you mean...lol. I'm hooked and have some sniper knee pad's on the way - He won't be out for awhile, but I plan on useing them for Flint.

Alright guys. I just came into some money and am thinking about picking these up. I know I am late to the game... I just can't decide.
I am really jonesing for the Snakeeyes fig but his price has sky rocketed... and most of these guys are sold out. Is it worth it to try and fight for these on Ebay? Wish I had this money last year... when Snake Eyes wasn't 300-400!!!

You can get deals on ebay for Cobra Commander, Trooper, Officer, and Sniper. They will be reissuing a commando Snake Eyes later on down the line. |

What I like is that other then the , who I'll likely get two of in the end, once I get a [Blank] figure. That's my [Blank] figure. If I want an Artic Officer, I just buy him a parka. No buying figures for every theatre of operations, or hassling with painting and sculpting or any of that other nonsense. Heck by the time you buy Plain old 25th Duke, Resolute Duke, CS Duke, Arctic Duke, Desert Duke, and Jungle Duke at the prices they want you're taking up more room, and you're almost half way there in price anyhow. I had a few 12" inch Joes way back when I was real young before ARAH came out. I loved the original ARAH, but I think my tastes have outgrown Joes in 1:18th scale.

I'd get on the wait list for Duke, he'll be cheaper & should convert around the time he starts shipping due to credit card declines & cancellations. Then if he doesn't convert you can always hit up the Bay.

they are overrated, really, you will be spending way too much on what amounts to be a mego doll. You can buy simlar ones fairly cheap now adays so the whole "Oh but its exclusive" excuse goes out the window.
Seriously don't give into throwing money at these guys, they are laughing all the way to the bank. |
