lol as in seeing it for free and then wanting them to pay you back for wasting your time? That would be funny to see you do that at the box office. Hey my buddy just got me in this show for free and I think I need a full refund on his ticket and mine with intrest!" That would have ruled...
I will be seeing it tomorrow just so I can beat the shit out of my freind who is going with me who thinks its the best show in the world (and to see how the other movie goers react to it). He does not follow joe like I do and makes fun of my "toy collections" so he has no idea what he's talking about and it is time for some whoopass..

To put it mildly, yes.
Don't forget TRU and (I think) Target have a sale this week on figures. I'll probably grab a few more Accel Dukes for Halo customs and start to build a possible Robocop. So far I'm thinking: Head: Torpedo Chest: Reactive Duke Right Upper Arm: *Not Sure* Debating Reactive Duke or look at what is beneath the Accel suit shoulder Right Lower Arm: Accel Suit Right Lower arm Left Upper Arm: *Not Sure* Debating Reactive Duke or look at what is beneath the Accel suit shoulder Left Lower Arm: Accel Suit Right Lower arm (swap hand with the right arm's hand to make it look correct) Torso & Legs: Accel Suit Helmet: Custom? I have everything worked out except for what would best reflect Robocop's upper arms and how to make a custom helmet to go over Torpedo's head.

Might work- Head: Torpedo
Agree= Chest: Reactive Duke Agree= Left Upper Arm: *Not Sure* Debating Reactive Duke or look at what is beneath the Accel suit shoulder Agree= Left Lower Arm: Accel Suit Left Lower arm Agree= Right Upper Arm: *Not Sure* Debating Reactive Duke or look at what is beneath the Accel suit shoulder Agree= Right Lower Arm: Accel Suit Left Lower arm (swap hand with the right arm's hand to make it look correct) Agree= Torso & Legs: Accel Suit Helmet: Custom? The head could be done something like I did with my SAW VIper (see picture) I jut out the viper faceplate and used someones head I forget who now LOL.. but that is my input!

I spoke to a Wal-Mart employee last night. She had a couple of cases of ROC vehicles that the store Manager wouldn't let her put out until NEXT weekend. Apparently That is when they will reset the toy aisles. Boy are they losing out!
Saw ROC last night. I liked it. I think people are way too cynical. Yeah I agree the love interest for Scarlett was messed up compared to what we know, but to make a movie non Joe fans (wives) would be seeing, it was understandable. Maybe I'm too agreeable, but the changes didn't rub me raw like it has for some. You really have to take what you are seeing in context. We all loved Resolute and understood when they changed up Snake Eyes origin. We need to use that same thought process now. I will agree the special effects sucked compared to what ILM or WETA could have done. Not sure why a no-name company was used. If you go in with an open mind to a totally new story and look for the homages throughout the movie, I think you'll be pleased. If you expect the best of the comics and cartoons to be put on the big screen, you'll be pissed... and really quickly. Nirvana, go to my Wal-Mart (423 abd Eldorado) for your full Nemesis wave. Some Ares wave is there too.

I wanted more than piss poor homages. No way I can ever accept this no matter how much I open my mind. It was ruined the day the showed the accelerator suits and wayanes and when Sommers said his inspiration came from james Bond...no going back form that point. Going to see it monday with a freind cause he just has to go see it and wants to hear me bitch so he can make up his mind if it really is a worthy a thing to be remotley called GI JOE which I have told him it is just a waste of $20...

Nirvana.. Alyosha and I have been working on the same custom ever since we saw the Accel.suit Ripcord.
The problem is.. I think Dukes reactive torso area is way too small compared to the legs from the accel suit. You may have to build up with GS or plasticard. For the arms.. again.. reactive suit duke.. too wimpy. If you could get his chest built up, I suggest using HD's upper and lower arms. Or as you were saying using the accel. suit duke lower. As for the helmet...Get a hold of a DTC Salvo helmet.. or even an original. That has the perfect look. ; ) Oh.. and Alyosha has a 1/18th scale Robocop gun btw.
