I wonder if this Retro Duke will peg warm worse than ROC Arctic Destro?

They actually have to hit the pegs to end up peg warming lol

Please note that I have removed the W3 Duke WM link as I cannot in clear conscience promote that figure.

Would the Going Go legs work on the RoC desert ambush Duke torso? It’s shorter than the Dusty one, so might be more balanced height wise.

Well, I just got an e-mail that my 2 Baroness figures that I ordered about a week or so ago, that were supposedly in stock, have been canceled. WTF?

I imagine it's because they sent them to me instead to fulfill my cancelled preorders...smh. If I get two decent ones in (not all beat to hell and crushed), I can let you know.

Hey thanks. I don't need a clean card though.

I believe Mark Weber's thought during 50th was that the original DVD pack got limited release in the wild, and fit their limited production budget. But I think he would admit it wasn't the best idea for that 50th run, and would absolutely not let it happen again for the current Retro line.

I think "lazy" might not be the best way to describe this (though Bobby Vala does end conceding to using the term)--but the word ends up being...the most polite, oddly

This reminds me that we complained about the release of this 3-pack in 2015 not just because the figures were outdated even then. The only real demand for their rerelease was for the accessories in the very hard-to-find 2008 DVD pack that they came from, especially the final piece of the MASS Device. (We also wanted Alpine, but he got covered in the other 50th 3-pack.) No one was begging for these figures. So to reissue this Duke again is yet another insult to collectors and long-time fans.

I keep hoping they will see the backlash and reverse their decision on Duke but I seriously doubt it.

The way they’ve been showing things relative to their release I’m sure the containers are already on the water.
