I only remember the main people (like the ones from the box sets) and flint and vaguely these cobra twin evil dudes..
Are any of the people in waves 3 or 4 cool? For example, how was shipwreck cool? Sorry. I was pretty young when Joes were big. I remember watching it.. even that one episode where one of the joes die. But i can't remember much else.. |

Well, it really all comes down to your opinion. There are some cool characters in those waves but overall if you like them then you should get them, if not maybe wait for some that you like more.

ranoobu, you can rent the Joe cartoon from Netflix or your local video store. That way you can get acclimated to the characters.

Guys, let's not start labeling people as scalpers, infact, ranoobu has already shown his dislike for scalpers in a previous thread
I always liked Shipwreck, mostly because he was a big wisecraker Firefly is cool and has always had neat accessories as for wave 4, it's just the guys from the box sets and you said you already remember them. I will say that the Air Trooper is awesome, but I have a thing for the Jump jet packs and removeable helmets |

Until I watch the show again, I've been basing purchases on who looks cool. lol..
I just remember loving the joe show as a kid. really like to own a piece of it again. As for Shipwreck, he seemed to be a favorite, but I just couldn't get into him.. maybe it's the art on the card! His scruffiness looks kinda comical to me. I was hoping someone could tell me why he's cool so i could change my mind.. oh well. Maybe when everyone has had their joe fill, they can stop worrying about newbie questions being scalper questions.. Thanks for all the replies! And i missed out pre-ordering that air trooper because he looked so fat to me! I did manage to get a cobra legions pack.. so at least i can say i have ONE of him... |

It all depends on you, just because we say someone is cool or that you should get it, shouldn't be the reason why you buy it. I was never a fan of Shipwreck but i agree, he's always had some wise crackin remarks along with his parrot.
I forgot most of the episodes and didn't follow GI Joe over the years but from what i remember, i've always wanted Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow (i dug ninjas back then) so i purchased them. Wave 3 FireFly looks cool, i thought Beachhead was the same but as i saw him, didn't like him that much. I'm starting the like the Red Ninja, more now. I try and collect all the figures even if i don't like them. Wave 5 is going to bring the Crimson Guard into the mix, and i like them but i'm not too thrilled with the helmet. |

I've always liked the ninjas also. Shipwreck was a funny and crazy guy, kind of like your buddy who always hit on the ladies, but ended up going home alone. Well, not entirely true because of Cover Girl.
I like the Joe Dios site as well. It has some great stories with the figs. http://www.joedios.com/links/browselinks.php?c=3 |
