I love the troop builder decos. All of em. I could do with a trooper variant though. That said, I'm glad I don't troop build any longer, because holy crap JvC killed me with the 2-pack format.
I'm not in love with that Destro. The proportions look really odd. And the angular face... dunno. Diggin the collar though. If the ARAH Flint is a con exclusive I don't think I'll be chasing it down. If it's a regular release, and comes in a box with a NLC and Eel... I think it might replace my HOH Flint. Shame about the sleeves though. Also not digging the vehicle 2-packs because, well... I want both Eels and an Ice Viper, but not two VAMPS, or Snake Eyes, or even the Wolf and Skyhawk. I'm hoping Baroness is a placeholder. The 5-pack #3 version shown is the one I use, but it's not really all that great of a figure. The lady deserves better. And speaking of ladies, Lady Jaye looks good except for the hat. I've always been more of a fan of her Sunbow look. Hopefully the DVD pack head looks good on the new(?) body. I passed on updating my Beachhead a bunch of times, but I think I may just keep this one. Hm. Leatherneck. If the final product comes close to the concept, then fuck. Yes. Where's Gung Ho? Seriously. The 25th versions are bad. The concept case one was great. Lowlight, okay, hard to find. Same with Hawk. Great figures, both (although I still don't see Hawk in that figure). Blowtorch? Snow Job? Again? Aaaaand FD gets his HEAT Viper finally. My concerns are the same as everyone else: multipack format potentially requiring (repeated) purchase of stuff someone doesn't want; thieves repacking the troop builders before bragging online how many HEAT Vipers they have; actually finding these at retail since TRU.com is frigging terrible. Plus one more: execution. The Ultimate Retaliation wave had some amazing designs, and some glaring cut corners. Not the end of the world, but still. |

Huh? The Ghostbuster custom on eBay? That doesn't really interest me. I gotta have that Kre-o Terrordrome though...and may need your guys' help in obtaining many blind pack Snow Serpents. ;)
And yay! HEAT Vipers not at JoeCon or subscription prices. Oh, and this Con set is a definite pass for me now. I may try to get SB Commander, Shazaam, and possibly the new character separately...maybe not. Bring on Sub 3.0!

I thought Lego announced an entire official line of Ghostbusters at Toyfair?
I'll look for some blind bag Snow Serpents for you, FD, no problem.

Oh, they did? I didn't look at anything beyond TF and GI Joes.
Cool. Thanks.

Not really good, either. I mean, I guess it's about what you'd expect to pay for a Club item, but really not worth it to me.

Same. I'm on the fence about it. Gotta give them props for the design though. It fits.

I'm totally buying it. Love that vehicle, even in green, dgaf about the HAVOC which was dumb.
I am totally reupping for the Club, but...I'm undecided on keeping Cross Country. Part of me says, "ehhhh, keep it to get one step closer to the total ARAH team" while another says, "let's see what someone will pay for it because he is the worst." I'm a sucker who is probably keeping it.

Well, yea...$42 for a bravo vehicle is high (especially if it were at retail). I just meant I was expecting it to be much more than that before shipping. It will probably be about $60 shipped. I'm OK with that and I'll get 1.
