I JUST started opening the figures I have. I opened the Ice Viper the other day and he is an EPIC FAIL
Can't hold either weapon, the legs are horrid and his articulation sucks. the ONLY good part is when you take off his jacket and visor, the head sculpt is pretty cool |

ROC was an uneeded distraction to Resolute and 25th/ME, it will cause a lot of bad things to happen especially with the webisodes coming and the new cartoon series which is Transformers animated remixed as ROC which is major ick, not my style of potential toys. I am not one for "oh I will take what ever I will get just cuase it is GI JOE" kinda person, I am pickey for parts and want 25th/ME compatibale parts at a minimum. Transformers animated figure rippoffs do not sound fun especially the way the clone wars figures turned out.
25th ME got me back into GI JOE and I figured it would co-exist with ROC the way Legacy stuff does for star wars but I was naive, that did not happen, so that is why I hate on it for what it did and is doing to the future of Joe. Yeah we might be getting some decent stuff with POC but that is just the next Resolute/25th/ME to get cancelled once ROC 2.0 comes out in 2012. How much of it will just be different camoed ROC figures we already have from ROC? Its kinda the way I feel about O-ring figures for exclusives from Joe-con...they could do both they just know the 25th/ME stuff will sell better so they don't wanna take the chance on doing that and for whatever reasons (like O-ring fans) they dropped back centruies to make O-ring figures is thier decision and ultimatley mine not to spend money to support thier efforts. ROC was good for fodder and that is about it, I had to mod every figure they made to get it to fit into my joe verse. The only figures that stood out on thier own were the Ice-Viper, Elite Viper and Desert Viper. The rest were channing tatum and snake eyes and storm shadow. I ended up buying every single carded version just because I am sadist when it comes to saving money and I have their empty cards hanging on my wall. There is such a lack of ingenuity seeing the cards all on a wall togther like that, it is pretty sad (compared to my other wall covered with carded ME/25th figues). Now well move into POC carded figures if they do indeed change from the ROC cards. I just hope they really get to making some really new inventive figures before it all ends for ROC 2.0. For now Sideshow, Master Piece Transfomrers and Episode 5 Star Wars are getting my monies. Need my CC throne, Firefly and MP Megatron+Optimus Prime and I will be set. Still not seeing any AT-STs for less then 43 bucks, anyone else have any luck? I am thinking they won't lower their price till they are almost all gone, going to go buy out a store down to like 4 units left and see if they drop the price lol..

Well seeing as there is nothing new out, and I missed out finding a blue wraith for a custom for cheap. I am good for now. Although I wish I would have bought the joe and cobra 5 packs I saw at tj maxx before they disappeared. I wanted some of those figures for customs. Unless anyone knows a place that still has them?
I have all of the first wave of POC stuff.. or at least what has been popping up in china so far. Although I still need a complete duke in arctic gear. Always seem to find one with all gear and missing jacket or one with jacket, but missing gear. Sucks. LOL

Found the PP Crimson Guard I needed. Target Campbell finally restocked their figures... with more Col. 1 Wave 1. WTF!?
In the area: Rhino/Pit is down to 50%. The few Col. 2 figures are 30%. Some stores have Avatar, DC Public Enemies, Bakugan, and Spec. Spider-man for 30%.

Park Lane has a dozen. I'm hoping for another 2 for $10 sale so I can get a few more.
