If anyone sees the single carded City Strike SE anywhere, please pm me. I'm not paying ebay prices for this one figure. Much appreciated.

Just be patient, these will soon flood the streets. There was a sighting at the kmart in buford if you want to drive. I got lucky and picked one up while in North Carolina on work. I'm a little disappointed with the figure truthfully. The upper torso does not sit correctly on the lower torso and looks weird. I picked up the all black rescue version yesterday and it has the same thing, not to mention his frick'n visor was glued on upside down. It's getting returned today. I really need to visually inspect these before buying. Now that I've got the black version, I'll sell mine for 20 bucks if you want him.

I really like the Duke included with this pack as well. I've been using the Resolute Duke head with my Reactive Armor Duke body the entire time (I really like the combination), so I was hoping the Breaker body would work just as well with the head giving my Duke a nice non-armor uniform, but unfortunately it doesn't. I could lose the blue Neo-Vipers, but overall I plan on keeping the set. |

Bandit, How did you fix the chest issue? For the loose legs, I disassembled the hip joint, placed a small piece of paper between the rubber and the outer hip piece and it fixed them just right. I'm thinking about customizing the web gear on the left hip to create a pistol holster. I'm not sure if there's enough mass to work with. Oh, and the scabbard is warped a little and the belt seems a little loose. Most of it is fixable but overall the figure is badass if you overlook the lack of contrast.
Did you notice the hexagon cut hole on the right hip of duke? Not sure what that's for, I don't own a ROC breaker to compare but was pretty sure I didn't see that before. I think the body is pretty decent and the paint apps on the duke head are better than every other previous version. Last edited by brock Samson; 10-19-2009 at 06:05 PM.. |

I think the body is pretty decent and the paint apps on the duke head are better than every other previous version. I have noticed that the torso joints on the 25th and ROC figures can move left and right in addition to just back and forth. I have only tried this on figs where the top torso is askew from the bottom torso mind you so I can't say that it works for all on them. Essentially, I just use a little strength to shift the top torso to the left or right (depending on which direction I need it to go) instead on the back/ forth that they traditionally move. I have to hold the bottom torso firmly while I'm doing this. (This actually sounds kind of perverted.) I don't know if its supposed to be able to do that to be honest so who knows what damage I've done, but I haven't noticed anything permanent yet. I've done this procedure with ROCs Hawk, Helix, SS, and Rex to name a few. Does this make sense? |

Gainesville Target had the Rescue Mission set, about 3 or 4 of them.
However, that was not the find of the day. Buf first a brief story. Currently I'm a substitute teacher and work is, well, unstable to say it best. I really enjoy what I'm doing but it's becoming interesting as far as making ends meet and my toy collecting is SEVERELY limited right now. Not to mention finding much of anything worthwhile is almost impossible. But despite all of that, today at Marshalls in Gainesville I found the holy grail of GI Joe. That's right friends. I found the Best of the 80s dvd pack!!!!!!!!!!!! I was in disbelief. amongst the strewn and scattered toys on the shelf I walked over and picked up the first DVD pack I saw just knowing it wasn't going to be that set but there it was. After recovering from the initial shock, I happily made my way to the check out and purchased the pack. They also had a few of the wave 1 sro packs too, one of the air and one of the sea ones but that was it. But that makes two toys I've been searching for for a long time that I've found this month which is nice (the first one was the 12 inch marvel legends icons Nightcrawler I got last weekend in TN).

I found another CS Snake Eyes at the Kmart in Milledgeville this weekend. Also, the Wal-Mart in Milledgeville had 3 cases of the Marvel Legends Nemesis series on Clearance for only $5 a figure.
