Wish we get both the Night Boomer and Night Ray but it will probably one or the other and the Night Shade (Sharc)... That's my guess...

I love that set.


I'd like to see new vehicles done in NF colors. A Devilfish would be my dream.

I could see an Armadillo or AWE.

Got to think a Night Force Boomer is a lock with all the Sky Strikers available at discount. But last year they turned a 25 dollar Indy truck into a 100 dollar item just by giving us a couple more alternative bed covers. Where will the price insanity stop. I bet we get a Night Force Armadillo or Cycle with side car.

It's funny how there sub figs are delayed but they expect to have all of the con figs by April? Did people get the figs they got vouchers for this past show? What about the second run from last year? Got to think they have already have this years set finalized if not produced. IDK

I'm starting to love the experiance and people more than the club offerings. The GIJCC seems to just be interested in $ over all things.

I know everyone has their own opinions but for me a Night Force set would be a buy Tiger Force on the other hand definite pass for me. I'd be interested in going but that is my wife's birthday weekend. If it was someplace sunny and warm it'd be a sure thing. But Indianapolis in early spring not going to happen.

Has the extended preorder changed anyone's minds about getting the OG set? They kind of shot themselves in the foot. 100 orders short for the minimum run but they took all those pre-orders. Looks like they could be stuck with some extra sets.

I would have been interested in the OG set if it had come up after Xmas.

But yeah, I envision some extra sets popping up eventually.

Did you get the email about the preorder extending until the sell the extra 100 or so sets they have to make? You can "pre order" right up until they all sell out.

Hello everyone,

Our closing date for the second run of the Oktober Guard was yesterday. However, we did not meet the MOQ (minimum order quantity) required by the manufacturer. We are about 100 orders short. Here is what we are going to do: We are moving ahead and placing the order with the manufacturer so they will arrive in the spring. We are also leaving the pre-orders open until the MOQ is sold. Once these are gone, that's it.

So, how much longer will you have to order them? Unknown, just depends on how fast they go. We know that the timing on this was not great, so we are hoping that by leaving the pre-orders open, more people will be able to get this fantastic set.

If they had offered those sets bagged or given us more time to pre order I may have gone for it. But comming up with $300 extra bucks during the hollidays for something that I will not receive till god know when was not in the cards for me.

I missed out on the home front hero package last year but I still can't see picking this set up. The prices have just gotten way too out of hand for me and they will only be going up. Convention GI Joes are for the elite collector now a days. I have 2 box sets gathering dust as we speak. I'd rather have my $600 back at this point. paying $25 per 4 inch fig when you are buying a set of 15 is too much.

Yeah, got that, but should have added "but with Joecon in April, it's not happening".

Just went to The den of horror that is Christmas Tree Shop Natick... They had five full sets of DG Joes. Got 4 Cobra Troopers for myself and the rest are currently at the customer service desk! Also scored a Vintage Admital Ackbar at Five Below in the same plaza!!!

[Mainframe]

Why are they at the customer service desk? Being held or display? Anyone else finding them? I'll go check Saugus again this morning.
