Greetings and Salutations.
New to the board, been lurking around for a few days, but like what I see here. A friend recently turned me on to the Sigma 6 GI Joe line, something that I never really paid any attention, and I must say I am hooked. Let me start by saying that I normally do not collect toys per se, nor am I a big fan of the animation style toons. However, upon opening my first Sigma 6 figure (Snake Eye's btw), I was instantly infatuated with them. Anyways, before I start rambling on here, let me get to the point. I have been noticing a lot of different lingo on the boards here that I have not been able to decipher. For example...what the heck does MSIB stand for? If someone could give me a quick rundown of what the various lingo's are that will be pertinent to my GI Joe fix...I would appreciate it. Second; where in the world does one find a handful of cheap SKY B.A.T.s ? I am looking for about 2-4 of the little buggers.....just cannot find any around here and e-bay seems to be a little scarce on them. I have Cobra Version of Firefly coming and I have Shipwreck on the way...but my Joe - Cobra Ratio is severely one sided. I am looking for ways to increase my Cobra side. That being said, I am not a collector who has to get every single one that gets released.....for example, I don't want 6 different variations of Duke, etc. I am looking for uniqueness in most of the figures...obviously the androids are exempt from this. So how do I get more Cobra troops? I have the following: Cobra Commander Destro Zartan Ninja B.A.T. Storm Shadow Firefly - in the mail I know I need the reg B.A.T. so what else can I do? Joe's outnumber the baddies like 10 to 1. Are customs a good way to go? does anyone really sell customs? are the prices for customs outrageous? Anyways, some late night blind typing from a old guy who has had his childhood love of "YO JOE" rekindled by a 8" childrens toy. Kale Last edited by Shin Densetsu; 06-28-2007 at 11:12 AM..

Regular Sigma 6 B.A.T. are for the most part sold out at retail. I would check evil-bay for the figures you are looking for. If you can afford $30 a pop you can get LT Stone and use his Cobra Uniform to act as Vipers to Build your Army. See ya Around

Welcome aboard, Kale!
Destro's already given you the breakdown on "MISB", meaning Mint in Sealed Box, of course, but here are a few others, just in case: MOC - Mint on Card MIOB - Mint in Open Box As for the Sky B.A.T.....well, my friend, you're in luck! Just say no to Scalper prices on FeeBay!...Hasbro Toy Shop has'em in stock @ only $9.99! Click on the following link: http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/Product...&ID=17214&PG=5 You'll see that Hasbro Toy Shop has quite a few of the "harder to find" figures in stock! Again, welcome! Hope you enjoy yourself here! |

Ah, a fellow addict. Welcome.
First off, the Tank here is indeed a fine resource, but if you really want to wallow in your Sigma 6 addiction with a friendly lot of equally hopeless junkies, direct thine browser to: http://www.joebattlelines.com/forums/index.php?c=10 Cheers, -Monte |
