So on an unrelated note...
Target has had problems in the past where stuff doesn't arrive by the pre-order estimate dates and then they send you an email to "approve" a delay. Usually once per week, then after a few weeks they apologize that they can't get the item and then cancel your order (then send them to stores randomly later, or whatever). So last week I got a "approve the delay" email for the Motormaster figure in the Transformers line. This week I got a second one with a new date of 8/25. Then yesterday it shipped! YAY. So maybe the pandemic shipping problems are getting slightly better? We'll see what happens when we get to the python figure dates... I got Motormaster on sale and got both of the dread delays and mine arrived yesterday, so I feel your stress. Hopefully this is all under control. I have TF OUTBACK waiting and he was another sale price guy, so fingers crossed.

Thanks guys! I'm putting up more shots in the Classified Picture Thread. I just didn't want to clog up this thread with all my photos. Outback is up there, now! More shots, including a close up of that awesome face sculpt, which is definitely up there with Major Bludd's as one of the best in the line, so far.

Here's the new 5-point figures from Hasbro sold in Five Below I just received They're just like the Star Wars ones in the check-out line They're not quite big enough to fit with Classified which is something I was wondering; however, they might fit in the new GIJoe Awe-Striker that fits 5" figures Thread's here: https://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-j...igures-11.html |

Oooh yeah! Are you opening yours or keeping your Siegie in the box? Be sure to share photos with us if you open him up! He looks great!

Saw a video recently where Viper Island stole another persons interview with Lenny and Emily at SDCC. Viper Island cropped the creator?s out of the video, gave them zero credit, and implied it was made by his ?correspondents? at SDCC. When he was called out on it he claimed fair use but YT didn?t see it that way and gave him yet another copyright claim. He also stole another YT 4K transfer of the GI Joe Movie and put it up on his channel, that too got him a copyright strike probably from Hasbro. Viper Island is the worst channel that covers GI Joe, he contributes nothing. Never breaks any news and actively steals other people?s content.

Viper Island has continually stolen from other content creators and claims he is the one breaking news. If you call him out he blocks you. His comment sections makes gi joe facebook groups seem sane, they're always bashing lenny and Emily saying they're terrible for the brand, when in fact they're the best thing that's happened to the brand in 30 plus years now. Its funny, he was all positive about joes, but then realized he would get more views being negative and became retrobitching jr.
I agree, Emily & Lenny are awesome and so good for the brand. Makes me wonder if that Viper Island hack even realizes how good we have it right now? He needs to follow SW and watch their streams and then he can actually see a clueless team running a brand into the ground. He thinks the Joe team are not transparent? LOL Not even close to how bad the SW team is - which may not be 100% their fault, LFL is really strict, but the SW team are still not knowledgeable about their own brand property and lack the passion and enthusiasm that the Joe team has in spades.

I think the Fwoosh and DAmazing make the best product review videos. DAmazing truly is "amazing" at figure photography and I watch his videos less for the figure review and more for the B roll shots at the end of each review. Dude is talented. I also like the Full Force podcasts or news bursts to keep up with general news and discussion, fan reactions, etc.
I should note, I really don't care about reviews either, I don't take any of their opinions to heart and most of the time the reviewers don't even know who characters are or how figures should be geared up, etc. But I watch to see what figures look like in hand, outside of the promotional shots that Hasbro releases. This gives me a better idea of what I'm getting when the figure eventually arrives on my doorstep. I agree with you about watching reviews too, it's more or less just a way to entertain my time and see what the figures look like before I actually get them. I buy what I want to buy and reviews never affect my purchasing decisions.

100% dude. Sometimes youtube videos can help satisfy that dopamine craving between figure releases. I?m really looking forward to more reliable release dates in the years to come. The waiting game gets old fast.

I don't know why anyone listens to YT people ranting their opinions. I'd rather just stare at my figures. The Fwoosh, Pixel Dan, and a few others are basically just shills for certain lines that grant them any kind of access -- and those are the ones with at least a shred of credibility. The ranters are worse than watching "news" programming.

Oh, I have watched Pixel Dan - I think I discovered him watching that Spector Creative weirdo. Dan is excellent IMO.
