Seeing ads for the 25th Anniversary stuff made me come to start collecting a bit, though my real "collection" is of Lord of the Rings and Marvel Legends, though now I'm adding joes I want when and where I can. I'm in Northern Virginia, D.C. area, and managed to find all the 25th Anniv stuff on the shelf with relative ease; all the carded figures on a KB shelf when I didn't even know they were out, the 5 packs in my nearest TRU (which is Bailey's Crossroads, if any fellow Northern VAers are here). I do have a couple of questions and I'm not sure about the appropriate forum to post in, but I'll try here. Actually I suppose it's one question- which is, I'm starting to get some of the DTC stuff off ebay and such, at reasonable prices. Just 4 so far, Spirit, Barrel Roll, Major Bludd, Medi-Viper. I feel a fool for not having bought them on the shelf when I used to see them all the time. But, to my question; why are Barrel-Roll and Spirit so small? I mean, they seem way out of scale next to anything else; 25th anniversary, VvV, or even my other two DTC figs. I'm sure there's a simple explanation but I just don't know. Also consider this an "I want DTC figures at good prices" notice. Also, I'll post anything I find in future in the VA sightings thread, and if there's a MD sightings thread, when I get up there to visit home (Baltimore area) there's a bunch of places I can check. Look forward to chattin' with ya. |

Geeez, the tank's starting to get crowded in here!!
Make way dammit, I need some breathing room... lol haHa No seriously though! I'm new here too and since hoppin' on board, I've been lurking here and there and finally found this post! So I figured I'd check-in as well... I was directed here after HissTank.com added me as a friend on MySpace a couple of months back. I've really enjoyed the News and Announcements board area @ the home page of HissTank, It's pretty freakin' awesome and very insightful!! I surely hope to get to know some of you guys here. Just so you guys know, I'm a frequent over at COLLECTORS ANONYMOUS and on YOJOE, just not so much for the latter (for preference and personal reasons). You guys definitely have a "kick butt" atmosphere here though and hope to make myself comfy here... *thumbs up* |

Hey guys,
I've been hanging out here for about a month just reading some of the things you guys had to say and I thought that I would formally introduce myself! First of all I just want to say how awesome and surprising it is that there are so many out there who feel as passionate as I do about the Joe franchise! G.I.Joe has always been more than just a toy to me for many reasons. I grew up as a missionary's kid and spent alot of my childhood in countries where English wasn't even the second language. With noone really to talk to or play with, I dove into the world of Joe! My grandparents sent me boxes of recorded episodes of the cartoon and my dad thought it was crazy that I wasn't interested in anything else! We spent most of our time in Japan, Singapore, and Malaysia. I remember going into the toy departments of different retailers and it was like GIJOE heaven! Eventually my love for the Joe franchise spilled over into my adult life. I enlisted into the Air Force in 1997 and, as corny as it may sound, GIJOE was a big reason for that. I guess my point in all this rambling is to commend Hasbro for at least trying to breathe some new life into this line!! I have a 7yr old son now and if there are any Hasbro execs out there reading this, know one thing...as long as there are fans like me (and the ones here at the Tank) this line will flourish!! I have passed my Joes down to my son, as I'm sure many have and will continue to do. It's just amazing to be able to connect with him on that level and, if I had the chance, I'd like to thank Hasbro and GIJOE for allowing me to do that! On that note...YO JOE!!!...and have a nice day! |
