Colder Soldier,

I hope my comments didn't egg the other negativity on, but I'm sure it did. And for that I am truly sorry.

I wouldn't personally buy 3 cases of the latest wave, whether I had the money to blow or not, knowing what a [email protected] ache they are to find. I'd rather more folks have a shot at getting a Gold Destro and Crimson Guardsman, etc.

That being said, I would be a hypocrite if I bashed "troop building," as I buy extra Cobra Soldiers and Officers all the time. Of course, Soldiers and Officers are normally the last remnants on the pegs keeping fresh cases from being put out. But how many Iron Grenadier Destro's or Snowjobs does one army need?

Because they are comparably inexpensive too collect, I myself (who opens everything to display) look to have a second MOC copy of certain figures. But I only buy the duplicates once they are evidently plentiful. I.E. I have MOC CC, Cobra Trooper and Officer to keep for posterity.

So obviously these matters are a judgment call we all make. Although I thing you were being hoar-dish with the Wave 5 figs, I certainly don't think you should be crucified for it or even insulted. I really just wanted to flick you in the ribs in a way that stung but went away fast...

We all need to catch our breaths and think about what we are saying to each other. This is not war and peace, just little toy soldiers we put on shelves and stare at as if we have accomplished something great.

Keep your heads up guys, and stay positive!

They're only scarce now people, but, pretty soon I bet theylll be turning up everywhere! You guys should know how Hasbro does it by now. They keep figs on low production at first, then spew them out like printing money.

Just hold on a lil' longer, and don't let a jerky boy like that ruin your day.

It's all good, Infinitron. We all sorta lost our heads there. I usually don't buy so many duplicates at once either, but they were there, how could I resist! I sold/gave all my W5 thirds to my best friend. He had all the '88-'89 Grenadiers as a kid, and as soon as he saw the new Destro, a new monster was created. He did'nt even have a single 25th before that.

Well, I hope all the animosity is behind us because this is no fun and I'm sure we're all ready to move on. All of us save for the most arrogant. Look at him up there in post #115. People like him always have to have the last word. But I should stop now before he feels the need to prove himself more. And look at that in post #117. I think I'm being refered to as a "jerky boy". But the guy is right, we should ALL stay positive! Hasbro will make more. And don't let your day be ruined just because the kid down the street has a TOY you don't. YO-JOE!!

Now that we are all happy as pigs in sh*t again, I searched lo and far yesterday evening and have my latest sighting. So, like lion and lamb laying together let us bear witness; united and at peace; a new sightings report is given:


Late yesterday I hit the St Matthews Target and ToysRus, the Westport Road WalMart, Target and Meijers, Hourstboune WalMart AND Clarksville WalMart, ToysRUs and Target. Out of all these stores I found exactly Jack and Sh*t.


The good news is that GIJoe 3-3/4"/4" figures are as hot as the Spears sister's well used ovaries. Sooo after all is said and done we will be getting more 25th figures than originally planned due to their success. And that is good indeed.


By the time Christmas returns week comes and goes there will probably be so many figures on the shelves we will start using Crimson Guardsmen and IG Destros to pelt WalMart clerks from above, distracting them as we rummage through fresh, unopened cases still on their pallets for wave 6 and 7. :rolleyes: Old collectors never die, they just fade away into the dark corners of the Great Escape, anonymous sentinals of old, faded and forgotten heroes... waiting... patiently... waiting... for the next retcon, re-boot, re-issue or collector's edition to give their lives meaning anew...


Bwahahah Merry Christmas;)

Walmart on Shelbyville Rd. has the 5 packs on sale for $17.00. They had a good supply of all 3. I'm gonna wait and see if they get discounted more. 10 or 12 bucks ea. would be sweet.

I just got back from shopping this morning. Most Targets and Wal-Marts had full cases of the Comic 2-pks. Some Wal-Marts had Destro/Breaker and Ripper/Torch. Breaker has the new battle-crotch but SE and Hawk still do not.

Targets clearance items are still only 30% off.

The Hawk figure I bought did have the new crotch. Bought it yesterday in Frankfort. 72971 was the D.O.M. Passed on the Snake-eyes, so I don't know.

Edit: Since the proof is in the picture:
