2 of each 7-pack set!? Yikes....... Keeping one of each sealed?
I never ordered either wave 3 or wave 4 online, although in retrospect I wish I had, it would have been a bit easier. BEAM was awesome and got me an entire case of wave 4 at his Walmart (minus the steel brigade). That same night, I got an additional 2 Techno Vipers, a second renegades trooper, second Tunnel Rat and a second Ripcord at Attleboro Toy Vault with my friend's discount. Went back to Attleboro Toy Vault at my friend's alert that wave 4 had arrived. Got 2 more Zombies, a second Airtight, second Law&Order, second Lifeline and my 12th Techno Viper. Ordered 2 Storm Shadows from eBay at $23 each. Not much choice at that point, but those figures were worth the money! Thats where I stand for wave 3 & 4 as of today. AAirtight, where do you keep all this stuff? How much space to do you have? Online is the way to go, I sarted this for the hunt byt have been way to dissapointed recently.The must have I order online.

And just think the only things you'll need to buy for the rest of the year is Bruce Willis and the Rock figure. Well Joewise that is. There is still that Devestator to be built.
I admire the dedication all you guys have for the hunt. I just can't do it anymore. The fact that I have no stores on my route from home to work is a factor. I've mailed it in. I just hit the button as soon as the preorder story hits the front page. I think I enjoy the having more then the hunting. I'm a lazy lazy man. ha.

When I moved last February, I found myself with 3x the room that I originally had, and decided that half my room would be designated as living quarters and the other half would be for my joes. I set up wall shelving, stadium-style platforms on each shelf, and table space for what I thought would hold all of my stuff... I was wrong, it turns out that I was only able to set up about 1/3 of my figures and practically any of my vehicles! I guess all those years of troop building started to accumulate and I had amassed quite a few joes, In addition to my favorite 25th figures from my complete collection, complete POC collection, complete 30th collection and my customs, I was able to display my Flagg (with 5 SkyStrikers on board), Terrordrome, a few HISS tanks, some Vamps, and several planes/choppers suspended from the ceiling. The figures that wouldn't fit are still stored in boxes under the large table with the Terrordrome and vehicles on it. Another great thing about where my joes are all stored is having my customs workshop right next to it. It's great having all the different figure sculpts for design and color reference all within arm's reach as I create figures to fill in the holes of my collection. Also, luckily for me, I have a fiancé that appreciates and enjoys my hobby and has already suggested that I make custom GIJOE cake toppers for our wedding cakes (this girl's a keeper). She's also talked about designating a spare room in our eventual new place to display my collection. We're both designers and very crafty/creative so we want to have a studio room, and I think the joes will probably wind up all over the walls of that room. I'd advise anyone with the space and the time to display as much f their collection as possible, it really helps you appreciate and respect the volume of what you've amassed and earned over the years and it sort of sobering and humbling if you're like me and always feel the need to buy more! Mike000, ShadowNinja and Tucker have all been over to see my stuff, you should come by sometime too Mainframe! Would love to have you stop by to see. Quote:
Ugh, don't remind me about completing that Devastator! Haha I can't wait to get the last 2 pieces. They're such awesome figures. |

I wish I had more room to display all my stuff, but alas I only display the new stuff I get and then pack away the older stuff and put it away.
And Air-Tight, whatever you do never let that girl get away. There is nothing greater as a toy collector as having a girlfriend/wife that appreciates the hobby and the addictive nature that we all have when it comes to hunting for figures. |

Found 2 more Zombie Vipers, a Scarlett and a Tunnel Rat today at one of the Salem, MA, Walgreens. Picked up the ZVs and left the others. It works out because I only have 2 unwanted figures left that to return, so I'll be able to get my damn $23 back for these guys. |

Thanks buddy- I agree completely and I'm lucky to be with someone as enthusiastic and supportive as her, it's such a joy to be able to be myself 100% with the person I'm with. She always calls me when she's in a Target or wherever and reads me the names of the figures on the pegs too, haha.

Sure beats buying figures on the sly, keeping them in the car until she goes to bed, then sneaking them into the house under the cover of darkness. Thats what I do.

I stick any figures I buy in my laptop bag and keep them there until after I get home.
