While they away here, they give other there. Those ninja figures look awesome... almost makes me wish i cared beyond SE, SS, and Jinx. I've always disliked it when toylines provided a less-articulated version with a vehicle. I just never though the joe line could get to that. I bought the Captain America Jet, and the figure included belongs in a dollar store. Still, that will not deter me from buying some of these vehicles (doubt i'll get that joe version of the HISS Scout )

Yep, it certainly seems to be the route they are taking. Not good at all IMHO. :(

The show is fun, but they need to open up more room for it. Going on Friday, preview day is really the only day to go if your goal is shop. Sat/Sun the place is so tightly packed that you really can't shop, and god forbid you buy something bigger than a loose figure you can barely walk through an aisle without holding it over your head like a Saharan water jug. If you collect things other than Joes, like Marvel or DC you'll find a lot more competition and the prices range from very reasonable to fu*king insane. Star Wars usually also has some reasonable appearances. Just seems there's never any Joes for less than $10, and if there are, they are gone very quickly. |

Thanks!! Not into anything other than gi joe. Mostly looking for parts to complete some projects. Is the FX show coming up or did that pass?

Meh. I've been to every Megacon since like '95. Joes are present, but the prices are usually at or above standard eBay pricing(inc shipping) and you have to pay the outrageous entrance fee($25+) plus parking($8-10).

FX passed...away. I don't know if they're going to try again this year, bit last year they couldn't get their crap together and after postponing it like 4 times, they just canceled. If you're looking for parts try talking to Todd at Acme Longwood, or Amber and Todd at Kokomotoys. Good peeps all.

Kokomotoys is a sponsor of this site, there's a link on the right side of the page. Parts to complete vehicles is practically their specialty.
