I wouldn't worry about it. If anything, overhype and anticipation is more often than not, followed by disappointment. ;)

I love the swarm troopers, but will be 3d modelling them in 5POA 1:18 scale since I don't collect 1:12.

You?re the only one holding this line together buddy.

For me , the rest of it absolutely sucks. The toys, the cult, the entitled.


You?re writing is impeccable and truly a gift to such a medicore line.

I do now. I also wonder if a big enough helicopter with a big enough magnet could recover these stuck containers. Now I need a 1/12th helicopter and some 1/12th shipping containers. I can use the magnets I got for my Warhammer dudes. That and some voodoo and we can all enjoy wave 1.

That looks cool. I never got into this line. (Heck I'm barely in to Classified thanks to apparently every store in CNY not ordering anything but movie figures) However, I have to say I was bummed to see how the AF Slaughter scaled in Facebook groups. Honestly, I've never been a big fan of The Sarge in Joe as he reminds me of the era where I left Joe behind and it all got too silly for me. That said, when I first saw the photos of the figure I was blown away that the updated modern look made me actually want to own a Sgt Slaughter figure! Now I'm glad I never ordered one. A real shame, though. Because with a bigger buck it would have been a killer figure. I definitely like the aesthetic better than the retro Hasbro version they previewed.

I have just read both of the new comics/Mission Files. I really enjoyed the Duster story. It was so good for him to have cause not just join up for the sake of it. Interested in his team too and wonder if we will see them in the future. Duster strikes me as someone who could lead the Steal Brigade.

The Pandora story was excellent. She is tough and ruthless but we understand the reasons for it. I don't think she is a career bad girl in our story, I think she is using Kerak for her own means. Everything is to get revenge back in Ireland. She is sexy, tough and a cold killer.

Would love to get better view of her tattoos and understand what they are.

In summary really great comics well written and excellent artwork. I just hope we don't have to wait an eternity for the next issues.

I know that the next issue is in the works, though I do not know the timing. If I had to guess, I would speculate that he would want that in hand for JoeFest. That is just an assumption on my part.

As for what comes next, I have been working. That is all I am probably authorized to say. I am also going to be working furiously on the novel this summer. I should have that draft done ere school resumes in the fall.

Your writing is fantastic. Thank you for bringing us these amazing stories.

Y'all be careful. I tried to call bbts and noticed they had my number blocked. I called from another phone and got screamed at by a supervisor who wouldn't let me talk and he hung up on me. I spend almost a thousand dollars a month there, and the past two years I have contacted support twice about damaged shipments and 4 times to ask where action force wave 1 is. I would avoid any interaction with bbts customer service, no matter how you go about addressing your concerns, and no matter how much you spend, the supervisors there are out to get you. Dude yelled at me about action force and told me on the phone he was cancelling my account, told me to read the email he sent. Email said "


At this time, I am going to be very blunt with you:

We are going to be getting these items in.
We are going to be filling our orders.
We are calling the transport company every single day to make sure all efforts are being put to get this through the final rail it needs to travel home to us.
We have space cleared out and are waiting on these products to come.
We have boxes premade to minimize the packing work needed.
We care about our customers and understand waiting for orders through us when other companies have got theirs have been discouraging.
We are not offering store credit or other compensation for the wait times.
We expect a level of professionalism in spite of the irritation and wait times on these, and are giving it in return.
We have offered cancellation at any point for any customers who do not want to partake further in getting these items from us.
We are happy to assist but our representatives are people also and deserve the respect they show to you. Even if you don't feel you have been unprofessional it is coming across that way.
Honestly, at this point, we would be parting ways with you as a customer. We would be canceling your orders due to the disrespect you have shown our representatives to date. We overlooked it knowing you are under a lot of stress on these items and that this line you have a personal connection with but may not be able to continue to do so going forward.

For both our sakes, at this time our Manager will be the only one to communicate with you on the items. Our representatives are going to be redirecting you to her. She will be prompt and make sure you get responses to your inquiries but may be out for the day from time to time. You have asked previously to be escalated several times to the manager/owner level, so we are accommodating your request. At this point, we are requiring professionalism from both sides in this manner."

It seems this is a generic form typed up for this issue. Either way, be careful, even if you are nice they are apparently blocking phone calls willy nilly. Their phone support was in the dark and says they can't block numbers. Clearly something is amiss there, it ain't like it used to be. Screenshot this message it will likely be deleted. BBTS spends on ads and uses this to stifle honest feedback.
