I dont know if this guy is on the tank or if this was mentioned, but i manage to spot a cool ebay entry. it is dealer that will custom build settings and displays for your joes. the details are on the page. i think it is cool and prices can be reasonable. you can have a jungle theme, a base setup.check it out!

Stuff like that I'd rather do myself. Feels more special that way.
Those are some pretty cool ones. He does do some good work. I'm currently working on a bunker and have plans for a dock, cobra mountain, watch tower, snow scene (convoy about to be ambushed) and a hanger complex.

Hold on... something very fishy here..
He's using parts from the Powerteam Elite places. g.i.joe custom action figures display cases - eBay (item 110304064646 end time Nov-04-08 10:10:12 PST) The Post with cobra shown is the PTE command center. Doesn't even look like he did anything to it. g.i.joe custom action figures display cases - eBay (item 110304064646 end time Nov-04-08 10:10:12 PST) The accessories that come with the Joe Post are from PTE sets. With that being know, that's kind of a rip-off to charge money for sets that use those things, know what I mean? The rest of the stuff is cool.

You are not really paying this guy for the base per se. What you are really paying for is your time. In other words, yeah we can all make this stuff fairly easily and on the cheap multiple times, but how much of our time will it take? I have two little hell spawn heathen children that take up my time (and I love every minute of it) and to me that time I spend with them is priceless. Paying some fellow a little change so that I can have a cool display is not that bad of a deal.
I mean we can all change oil, but for 30 bucks I can pay some greese monkey to do it in 10 minutes or less and have them clean out the front of the car and inflate the tires. |

That Cobra Meeting Room looks cool, but $84.00? I think I would rather try to make it on my own...

The pictures are too small to really accurately judge the quality, but if you think you might prefer to build one of these yourself then you are probably not part of the target market for these type of displays.
I have a lot of respect for diorama builders because I've tried it myself and it's not easy to make nice stuff that looks good. For some people out there it's a no brainer to drop a couple hundred dollars to have an awesome display for figures they've spent possibly thousands of dollars collecting. Especially if it would help decorate an empty corner of the den or something. |
