Due to the Terror Drome set i saw. I not been active lately due to a fire that left my old 3 3/4 collection... well nolonger mint... was hesitant to come back till the Doctor Who toy line hit the 3.75 scale daleks... but when i learned they had daleks in lego style and aquired a few playsets and daleks for them, i learned of the TRU exclusive GI Joe line of Kreo and saw the cost of the sets... and started debate till of the terrordrome's return sealed the deal to go nice next to the dalek's saucer and Tardis Mega set... then the other sets on sale. well got over killed put simply. :/
So far I found only waves 2 and 3 and gotten the following: Wave 2: 3 BATS Major Blood Dr. Mindbender 1 Cobra Eel Wave 3: 2 Flight Jet Trooper Crimson Guard Tomax ( debating plan to keep in clear bag till Crimson Guard get rereleased or able to get any for less the $40-60 each... but unlikely...) 1 Polar Assult Eel 2 Night Creepers Wave 5: Ninja-ku... (wanted 3 battle damage bats atleast... ugh!) Hope with what i plan to get later to get all the Cobra High Command atleast: Cobra Commander Destro Baronness StormShadow Firefly Major Blood Dr Mindbender Serpentor Crimson Guard Tomax and Xamot Zartan (if ever released...) Maybe get...: Scrap-iron Copperhead All the Viper Sub-divisions in triples... My cobra troop build I goal is 3 of each... which sofar just my basic BATS, not sure i bother collecting all the Joes and rather focus on my bronze Dalek army building and Cobras. Well hope my new path in GI joe not be to disappointing. Ironicly when i 1st just saw only the packs, i ignore them since i didn't know Kreo was just another wanna be poorly made lego brand... till the cost of good lego sets cause me to lose interest. now i want to hunt them. |

If you don't want to get some of the older playsets, I think I still have extras of Cobra Commander, Destro, Baroness and some others.
Let me know and I see what I've got. |

Thanks, since i slow rebuilding up, i see where i can do on my own 1st, do plan to buy extras on the armored assult set since the heavy cobra trooper almost like some resolute troopers with the goggles over the eyes to full my hole in troopers.

I dumped my interest of anything joe except comics (although haven't got anything new in about a year so lots of catch up), 25th style card art single figures (only need 3), and now kre-o, just in the past 1-2 months I have acquired a pretty large collection, only missing 2 figures out of them all, and now since they are slow to make more sets dipping my hand into the customs which is even more expensive building up sets to get the parts needed but a lot of fun doing it. Tomorrow I get my new display table and will start building dios soon after. Haven't had this much fun in collecting in MANY years.

Building up... ended starting to think 3 each is overkill, debating 2 each on troop building... till i realize my Dalek army will be bigger then them in time... still no luck on.wave 4, and a blunder on opening one of my Fight Pack Trooper cost him some fight pack parts... hope to find a spare some day tp replace them. :/ Speaking of overkill, hope a kreon is made of him. Put Scrap-iron's helmet on am Eel's head it came to mind combined with Mech pilot's body and a red bandana from the lone ranger lego line and a pair of shoulder pad from the crimson twins commanders... well just a idea. |

Current progress, waves 2-5 blind packs competed, troop building of waves 3-5 done, troop build of waves 1 & 2..... still long way to go. :/ Terror drome acquire, Cobra High Command slowly taking shape. Really hope for wave 6... but with the discontinued i keep hearing, i keep think wave 4 is the end of the line of the series... hope not since still missing one classic Dreadnok still. Just did my customs of my Vipers and Night Watch Cobra Troopers way giving Scrap Irom's goggles to the Vipers and swapped the blue helmets with the black ones. Feel so much of my childhood i not allowed to do slowly coming true.
