revision cases throw a GIGANTIC wrench in that!!!!!!! i personally don't like revision cases, but since there doing that i swear i'm not wasting gas, my free time, chasing nothing!!!!!!!! i'm not even collecting 25th moc anymore. only uncirculated sealed cases for me...well and a loose case to open and trip with, but you know what i mean

i don't know if it makes sense but i tend to base it off of vintage figures and the ones of those that are rare or high valued...for instance i see ss wave 4 becoming valued much like firefly...same with SE wave one, flint...the core guys....revision cases do throw a wrench in that

not as long as bbts is selling them for 5 bucks. last time i checked they had 900 of those trying to liquidate them. the air trooper is hot. i have at least 30. it's real funny though because most of us are adults collecting toys a second time around in our life and we have gotten very scientific about the whole thing. it's nuts

I try not to reveal my tricks to anyone. Much how ebay scalpers tend not to put their location on there profile, so people can't track something down from themselves. Like if they put Location: Toy City. I have to be honest that shit drives me crazy. I can usually tell where they are though. Then sometimes they'll post their walmart receipt with the address of the walmart on it and it totally blows their cover.

I don't care about which ones will become rare - I just hope we get more like Mind-bender & Scrap-Iron etc.

"Rare" and "good" are worlds apart to me anyway. PDD is rare but I think he's an ugly waste of plastic, while Copperhead is as common as muck yet rates very highly in my humble collection.

you have to use your intuition. so far i've been able to personally predict which ones from 25th will become the chase figs. a really really easy way to tell which ones are going to be the most popular is to check brians toys price guide and ebay. the afa joes that are selling for 1 grand and up, those are hot 25th figs. go figure!!!! I PERSONALLY believe hasbro got ahold of brians toys price guide and built what to release for 25th figs off that. everything is just awesome right now with g i joe though, i could never complain about 5 packs , 2 packs, single packs there all cool. maybe they'll bring back real plastic instead of rubber joints though lol that would be the cream. it's best also to collect WHAT YOU LIKE, unless you are in the toy business of buying, trading, and selling.

Scalper?? Don't make assumptions. I'm just trying to decide what figures to keep in the package and which ones to let my son open up. I hate scalpers, it's cause of them that I can never find anything.
