I will eat my words, Found wave 10 tonight, just one box of it on the pegs of a walmart. What caught my eye was the lone BAT that comes with this wave. There they were on peg hooks full of asshat revisions LOL. Only 1 wraith of course the regualr, cursed to always see him I guessThey also had 2 FANG/CLAWs and an AWE. Most Kohls still have tons of CPs and 1-2 sets of Wave 10 too so if you still needing Zookas/Paras get after em. Several targets this round had huge ammounts of UBPs those will warm shelves for months. This one target I was at had both the left and right sides 3 high of the aile with thm. Was at least 40-50 of the damned things felt claustrophobic being surrounded by a ton of usless Joe stuff LOL
EDIT: Heres my take on the CG-Immortal ((and Techno-viper (got his weapons so hes finished for me))), CG-Immortal-Been wanting to do him in some capacity and the head from Dataframe was pretty god opportunity. Chopped out Dataframes face and hollowed out the head until I got it to fit on a standard cobra trooper head and applied the goggles from the Gas-trooper/pilot helmet from the Fang/CLaw Set. Missile launcher is 2 of Bazooka's launchers merged into 1, LOL extra parts FTW. Body is of course the standard Hiss Driver/AVAC body with some shoulder pad things I found from BBQ modified to fit him (need silver paint now...)

Damn.. I have been laid up with the flu all week. Tonight was the first time since Sat. that I have left the house. And not to my surprise.. nothing new what so ever.. and no CP's on sale at any Wal Mart I went to. Wish I lived in Dallas or Plano area just so I could possibly find a cobra flint warming the peg, or possibly a eel. Better than finding the empty pegs they have at all the target stores in my area.. Plus I want to army build the Cobra Flints.. LOL
Here is what I worked on tonight. Still needs a lot of work.. not at all pleased with the way the paint turned out.. damn cold weather.. But still plan to bring it tomorrow to show off. even though the paint sucks due to the cold.. the construction is nice IMO. ; ) More pics in the customs thread.. not too many, but a few.

It was a pain in the A$$... That is what took me more time than anything with this custom.. and i'm still not entirely happy with it. i plan to do another one maybe.. this time using a different method for the armor. Not in any hurry though.. have other things on the menu right now.. and i need to figure out a way to make him more playable. This one is definitly just a display piece.. especially with the bad paint.. Grr.
Also started to rework my Night Viper.. swapped his legs and arms out with the ones Broken Arrow Customs used based on my figure... Still need to be painted.. will bring it up for everyone to see.

I'll have to take the tour next time and poke through the "useless" extras in the garage. ;-) Ironically, I ran into Tingling inside the mall shortly after leaving IHOP. Thanks to aire for the good times and Skystriker base to rebuild. I'll try to bring more customs and kitbashes next time.

This meet actually went off better than the last.. and now that several of us know what the others look like, there will be less confusion in the future..
I would also like to thank Aire for putting this together and hope that the next meet that I have been put in charge of organizing goes as well. LOL I would also like to thank her for helping me out with some figures and some ARAH vehicle parts I was needing. Hope to come see the huge collection during the next meet.. or if I happen to be in the area. ; ) Oh and I still need your paypal addy when you get the chance. With that out of the way.. anyone happen to have any night boomer parts laying around? LOL

Yea, the meetup yesterday was a lot of fun!
Thanks to everyone who attended!!! It was cool to hang out with you all! Drew and his son, Andy, won the MIB 25th HISS in a hard fought battle of GI Joe trivia questions, capped off with eliminations rounds of rock, paper, scissors :-) Congratulations, Drew!! Nirvana and Magick brought some of their custom figures with them. It was awesome to see the creativity and detailed work!!! Thanks so much for sharing them with us! Seeing the customs in person was one of the highlights of the meetup for me! I was also really happy to have picked up a few items I needed from some of the guys who brought stuff to trade and sell (I got vintage Joe boxes, the revised Doc, a BAT etc...) THANKS to all! To those who couldn't make it, I hope you will be able to make another meetup in the near future! I for one, will be bringing more stuff to give away (as I slowly but surely clear out portions of my garage). THANKS again for a good time! Aire |
