I'm still totally curious why I have Black Series figures from "2023" on my shelf and yet the Storm Shadow wave is nowhere.

Really wish that was Tomax, Xamot, Storm Shadow, etc. sitting in Walmart and Walgreens.

Hopefully they'll address why Joes are MIA but Star Wars and Marvel Legends aren't.

There's still pretty incomplete fulfillment of people's BAT/Alley Viper orders from December 2021. Croc Master is MIA aside from literally a single figure.

It's a potentially encouraging sign to see TBS shipping well ahead of schedule, but it's only encouraging if you're a Star Wars collector. There's no word of any fulfillment if you collect Joes right now, and I'm almost willing to bet money that there won't be any word on that this Tuesday outside of preorders for the Dusty/Crimson Guard wave, slated to ship August 2023. But we should be cheerful optimists, because they might ship ahead of schedule in May of 2023 instead!

I would imagine it has something to do with contractual obligations to Disney so Star Wars and Marvel take manufacturing and shipping priority. With GI Joe, they are only beholden to their self, so if everything can't be done at once, guess which one is pushed aside.

I think you're supposed to take pills and then it makes sense, like a greatful dead show or something

Hasbro cited to the Russia situation as a rationale for higher prices coming. That?s why the situation is being discussed. It?s entirely relevant. Before typing out a sentence take a second look at the thread and try to keep up.

Thread is Toys BOYS.

You political weirdos kick rocks.

BBTS just shipped 3/4 of my order of AVs and only a single BAT (I ordered 4 of each), so I'm wondering if they only received a partial shipment from Hasbro. I also received a preorder cancellation notice for some Hasbro Star Wars product. So I'm hoping that's not a sign of things to come.

Just last week Taiwan issued it's citizens a handbook for what to do during an invasion and war with China. The handbook gives "survival guidance in a war scenario with China."

I hope you know that China has had plans since forever to invade Taiwan, topple it's government, and seize them. They have literally said it is "inevitable."

China has wanted to invade Taiwan since 1950. While they have had a massive land army, they didn't have ability to project that power on water.

Until they bought a Russian aircraft carrier, the Varyag, from the Ukrainians, to make a floating casino but the casino became the Liaoning.

Yes, China previously bought the HMAS Melbourne and actually scrapped it but not before extensive study.

The Liaoning allowed the Chinese to accelerate their domestic carrier program and build a second ship, the Shandong.

So they have two carrier battle groups. The third ship is almost complete and the four is under construction.

While not as proficient in carrier operations as the US Navy, they are enough of a threat in the South China sea just based on proximity alone.

It is not a matter of if, only when China retakes Taiwan.


Another reason to isolate China, and should have been done long ago, is the continual theft of intellectual property and technology. The J-20 stealth fighter was developed with stolen information. Honeywell gave China the information in violation of ITAR.

Boeing has given China technical information, not just for construction but the development behind the construction that is transferable from civil to military use.

China bought the S-70C Blackhawk and then made their own copies the Z-20.


Also China has breached the hand-over treaty with the UK over Hong Kong twice. The last time resulted in limited sanctions against specific Chinese officials.


The Ukraine, fun place that is, fought for both sides in WW1. Part with Russia and the other with Austro-Hungry.


This is like digging in a landfill the deeper you go the bigger the mess.

We never finished the Korean War, botched Iraq and Afghanistan, still haven't properly dealt with Iran and have ignored the situation in Yemen. There is the continuing mess in Ethiopia and no one cares one bit about the Sudan.

So honestly, why is the Ukraine so important that we are going to bankrupt our economy over it?

Yes, Russia enter the Ukraine without permission. Guess what. We have hundreds of people illegally entering the United States on a daily basis.



Perhaps we need to clean our backyard, while we still have one, before we worry about someone else's.

And the worse thing about an overgrown backyard, it is too easy for an action figure to get lost then run over by the lawnmower.
