I know I said it once before, but I have to stress again that I LOVE the Crimson Neo-Vipers! Also, the Elite Viper is pretty bad-ass too. Haven't opened the Eel or Helix yet, but the Pit Commando is alright. The accessories are nice, and that Steel Brigade helmet is probably my favorite accessory of his.
What's up with these Cobra figs sporting axes as weapons? The Crimson Neo-Viper has 2 and the Elite Viper has one as well. Interesting choice as an accessory. |

I was lucky enough to find the Helix wave along with about 12 others I grabbed up for my son's birthday party this past Sunday. The worse part was all 16 figures were thrown out with party garbage. My son and his friends opened them all up and played for a while. When they finished playing, they tossed them all into to a target bag. When the party was over the bag some how got mixed in with the bags to be thown out. Needless to say, we tried looking for them until last night when I decidec to check the garbage. We were too late, some garbage picker snagged them all up. The jerk left behind all the weapons. So I'm out $150 and my son is pretty upset. I hope who ever found them could really use em. Now the hard part is coming across the Helix wave again.
Hey, my son's 4th birthday was this past Sunday as well - was Sunday your son's actual birthday too or just the day of the party? |

Bill,
Should I buy a ton of them because of value or just for coolness? I know you always have the inside scoop. JLP- His actual day was Sunday. He's 8 now. |

Saw an interesting van parked at the Wood Dale Target. Also saw the driver in the store. The back of the van had a sticker message that spelled out "Toyz-a-holiks" and had a 630 phone number for his store.
The weird thing was that when I ran into him in the toy aisle he saw a woman shopper he knew by name. Then this lady ran into some employees that she knew and chatted them up. Luckily neither of these folks was purchasing armloads of toys...

Went to TRU yesterday, was able to get the last Hawk, Helix and Pit Commando, they also had Flash, Eel, and the Crimson Viper but I didn't have all too much $$$ to spend.

Let's start voting for our thread. I think with all the activity we have this thread should be at least a five star rating...

Any of my local homies wany some BBI helicopters? I have a blackhawk, apache and kiowi.. I also have a lil' bird, but I don't know where he's hiding...
They've been on display, hanging from a ceiling for about 3 years, then I took them apart and bubblewrapped them and they're in a box right now, no pics, cause what's the point of bubble wrapped parts, lol.. just google if you don't know what they look like. I'll let them go for cheap if you meet me so I don't have to ship them. PENDING RIGHT NOW Last edited by Joerhyno; 07-31-2009 at 01:00 PM.. |

1) Chicago TRU, as mentioned by Gyre-Viper. 2) You can also rule out Bridgeview, Hodgkins, and Burbank. I want to get myself a set ASAP.
