Glad to see that you actually found some Crimson Guards RedEyes. I still have an extra one that I was holding onto for a trade with someone on these boards. I think I'm going to return it to the store now since they seem not to be as rare anymore. I'm not a troop builder so I have no use for it.
I would have traded it for a figure I needed (like a Storm Shadow Joe version from Wave 1 carded) or one that might have looked better than I already had (such as the extra Zartan you have RedEyes because mine has cuts and nicks all over him) I've actually been getting annoyed with searching for the perfect figure. I keep finding paint app issues with all of them. The other day I finally broke down and began to open my figures for display that I've been saving until I found a worthy replacement. I've been making touch up's here and there with Sharpie markers and paint markers. For instance I had to color the top of Stalker's left boot because it wasn't colored all the way up to the top in black like the right one was, so they didn't match and it looked ugly. Even when you do find a figure you might think looks "perfect" you can't see everything while it's in the package. I just opened up a Crimson Guard and I was upset when I saw that the spur on the back of its right heel was broken off and missing. Last edited by Scoop; 03-19-2008 at 03:40 PM.. |

That sucks about the paint apps, it's a shame that they aren't exactly the same. Definitely makes it a little annoying. So I hear ya on that. As for trading for a Crimson Guard, I'm gonna head over to KB probably Sat and see what they got. If they have a nice looking Zartan, I'll pick it up for you to trade. So if you can just hold out on returning the CG and I'll let you know Sat. If anything, I'll just buy it from you if you don't mind. |

Finally went on a hunt today and scored big time baby. I picked up 3 Cobra Night Watch 5 packs and 2 Red Ninja 5 packs. Douglaston still had 2 Red Ninja 5 Packs and a whole lot of comic packs of Fred and scarface, SS and Snake Eyes(Battle), and a couple of Destro and Breakers. They also had one of each IG Destro,Snow Job, Crimson Guard, and Cobra Air Trooper. I picked up an extra cobra enemy.

Last time I was over at the Hempstead KB, they a good amount of Zartans. It's definitely worth a shot. |

Meant to post this earlier, but my laptop was dead. Anyway, Douglaston TRU had a full set of Wave 5 w/Shipwreck and CC. They also had 2 Air Troopers and a Cobra Trooper. I picked up the Trooper and the Crimson Guard. Wave 1 and 3 Comic packs were also there.
They also had a SE vs. Red Ninja 5 pack. But for some weird reason, the SE and Brown Timber was replaced with a Wave 1 SE and white timber. It didn't make sense to me at all that somebody would do that. |
