Hey you gotta pay to play in this hobby. I once set my alarm to 3am to get up and outbid someone on Ebay for an exceedingly rare statue.

Seems like only yesterday patches were the biggest problem in the Joeverse. Gotta keep it fresh I guess.

What happened to people? It truly feels like in the last 10 years the slightest adversity triggers the most desperate reactions. What happened to keeping calm and pushing through?

Not for nothing, but if you truly NEEEEEED an OAMCC that badly, I'm sure a scalper will be happy to sell you one on eBay. Does it suck to pay extra for it? Hell yeah, but if it's that much of a wanton desire, there are avenues to acquire...

I said earlier that I've missed out on some key special figures in the lineup, but that doesn't make me suddenly hate the brand. I'll whinge about it here amongst my like-minded enthusiasts, and then move into the next cool thing they've got in the pipeline.

Just take a breath folks, it's not the end of the world...

And we all heard this same chatter last year w/chuckles and he was available like 4-5 times after the original preorder .. ive said this before i know , but the eel and the range viper i had 9 each before i bought anymore off other people , i still only have 9 amazon eels but i have 11 range vipers, im mad i didnt order more from the start i didnt know how much i would end up liking that figure . But i checked amazon and wally regularly during the day @ work to get as many as i have currently? i have a lot of down time @ work ? i know not everyone has the time/ability to check like i do or did or will continue to do but Being tenacious pays off, I complain enough about action figures I don?t need to complain about not getting them as well ..

But really to say youre gonna sell your whole collection because you didnt get one figure , if i said that i would have stopped collecting like 25 years ago or longer . Pffft

First world problems

Hope it goes better for everyone .

Also ill be honest i preordered 5 oamcoco?s and a maul and a deaths head from the actual pulse site using my iphone and was done by 1:02 and that was with having to input my phone number back in 5 different times .. i ordered 2 coco?s for myself my son will get one , ones going to my cousin
ones going to a fellow collector down here
and ones getting thrown in a box for later ?


May tomorrow be a better day for all ..

Well...I was logged in anyway...it was magic time and...y'know...

Hoping it has good trade value. Awesome they're making more available for people who missed it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to get another chance at it, but just pick a time and stick to it. Don't make it harder than it already is to get these dang things.

I'll bet it was 8am Pacific and someone just forgot to convert to Eastern.

At least we're on track to get the Rattler Gunner by the end of this week.

I tend to buy most everything this team puts out so it's definitely tough sitting on the sidelines this time. But I refuse to be a collector that has things in boxes stored somewhere. If it can't fit in my current displays I can't consider it.

I'm on the same page, with all points made. The Rattler looks beautiful (and don't even get me started on the Baroness or Cobra Gunner), but I do not have the space. And, in all honesty, I don't want to be bothered by trying to sell off the plane. A lot of, very cool, Joe product shown at SDCC. I'm really looking forward to Leatherneck (a personal favorite) and the Retro Viper. I, for one, thought the Twilight Guard looked badass, but I do agree that Road Pig looks a little "Wreck-it Ralph". I do like his bulk, though. That was well executed.

On other new announcements, that got my interest:
- Hot Toys showed off some AMAZING looking figures! I've already preordered the Artisan Black Widow and am looking forward to picking up the redone T2 T-800.
- Very happy to have gotten a preorder for the Mezco Commando Snake Eyes (glad to see that Firm helped DLM out with getting one, as well). Also, I'm pretty excited about Mezco doing Sin City figures. Those are day 1 preorders, for me.
- EXO-6 had a great display, in Vegas. I'll be picking up the Chief O'Brien and Garak figures, from Deep Space 9.

What are you guys into (as far as newly announced figures go)?

The Joe stuff of course. I happen to really love Roadpig goofy face and all. I was able to snag a couple of the X-Men Video game Sentinels from the weekend so I'm excited about that as it's one of my favorite arcade games. Beyond that really looking forward to Figma Ganonodorf, and Amazing Yamaguchi's revisions of Deathstroke and Arkham Knight (both are getting a 1.5 version).

I really like what Jada is doing with their figures. I've got a couple Mega Man figures and some of the cereal mascots. I love the breath of fresh color some of them bring to my displays.

I need to grab Chester Cheetah and the upcoming Tony the Tiger. Hoping they eventually get to Captain Crunch. The Scooby Doo figures look great as well. I will likely pick up the monsters and ghosts from that line. I love cartoony cliche halloween stuff.

Neca's Sesame Street figures look pretty stellar as well. Gotta pick up that Count when he becomes available.

Jada, E Honda and Baraka as well as Neca, the Count and Burt and Ernie.

Missed the Sin City figures. Will have to check them out!
