Like I have said before I am new to collecting Joes, I was just wondering why is Flint so much more than other joes on ebay and other sites? Was it because less were made? I really like this figure, he was always cooler to me than Duke.

Less must have been made and he is a popular character.
Flint really is cooler than Duke in my opinion too. Where Duke is the heart of G.I. Joe, Flint is the brains. And I guess you'd have to say the Hawk is the soul of the organization in my mind. Others will debate this assessment endlessly though. |

one reason he is a popular character and he was part of the first that came out and that was right before people have gone crazy for the 25th so not as many were produced.
and the other reason is the obsessed collectors. Meaning they go to stores or online and buy multiple that are low print. I see the want to make money off these joes, but what about the kid right now that wants that snake eyes figure with timber or flint? it sucks. i go to wal-mart or wherever and see about 10 buzzers, a couple snow-jobs, a few stalkers and about 20 cobra enemys or the air-troopers. if i was a kid and that was my option i'd cry cause who wants buzzer? i have him but they want flint, snake eyes, storm shadow, you know all the cool ones that us collectors drool for and check every store for, in a 50 mile radius. there was a point somewhere in there i think. but good luck finding Flint. do you open yours? if so get him loose, probably way cheaper. |

Well Gents, you have a few variables in play here:
#1 Flint Rocks. Therefore, he's going to sell. As such, he didn't hang out on pegs for long when he was released, which brings me to point... #2 Flint was a 1st waver. If we do see another Flint, it will be in a revision case of some sorts. There was word that BBTS was going to have a revision case in April with Flint (?) that I am not sure of though, I may be thinking of someone else. |

Flint was only in the first wave and the one revision case for wave 3 I think, so he is pretty hard to find. The Snakes with Timber is in the same boat. I am guessing both will ship again. Hopefully Hasbro will fix that Flint by repainting the future Tiger Force version in the originals colors and the Snakes should be painted black and given the new crotch like the one in wave 5.

Oh man Buzzer was my hero!
He was the dreadknocks to me.. with this shiny mirror like sunglasses.. receding hairline with his "ambiguous pony tail". The whole sleevless shirt and combat boots did wonders for me. I just loved the way his personality stood through when he had those total of 2-3 words per episode. From The Cleft in his chin to his incoherant ramblings. He will always have a special place in my heart... LMAO NOT! |
