Same. I'm not sure what the "soft reboot" will entail, but the main appeal of the o-ring revival for me was the chance to get the o-ring figures in the vintage-style packaging, so I can hang them on the wall and feel super cool about it. I'm not as interested if that's gonna be dropped; though, I suppose it would ultimately boil down to the figure, itself, since I do like to open stuff. A lot.

On the subject of great Facebook deals, the guy who runs one of the groups I'm in tried to sell a loose set of the Duke/CC retro figures for $60 yesterday. Yes, the same ones that are still available new in package on Hasbro Pulse for $41.99.
After that, he also tried to pass off the 2002 Tomax and Xamot v2 figures as the 1985 originals. |

From what I've seen, the '02 Twins are wayyyy more expensive than the originals. So is that accursed Serpentor in black that I've wanted forever but refuse to shell out hundreds of dollars for. I don't think that last RAHC wave was mass produced. If I remember correclty, you had to order it online, and online shopping wasn't as commonplace then as it is today.

Ya I reluctantly joined Facebook because I heard it was a community of like minded people who were helping each other out with their collections. Kinda like what yojoe.com used to be (Hiss Tank usually was overran by ME junk). What I found , for the most part, is eBay scalpers pushing high dollar prices and an elitist few making things pretty miserable. I don?t even go there anymore to be honest.

I don't remember, and he took the post down after someone called him on it.
The loose (and incomplete!) Duke/CC figures are still up, but it looks like he's lowered the price to only $50. (Again, you can still get the set brand new in package for $41.99.) The guy who also posts tons of gross "sexy" fan art drawings of Baroness and Lady Jaye with giant inflated boobs, wearing micro-bikinis. Last edited by Josh Z; 01-25-2023 at 03:49 PM.. |

That's actually something I'm always concerned with when telling a story right after someone else's that happen to be crazier, or even posting pics of my collection. I suppose that comes down to how much of a "Oh, yeah? Well that has nothing on this!" tone is in what a person says. For my part, I do try and be self aware and consider what and how I'm speaking or posting, but I'm sure I've been taken that way many times before.
