I don't know where they are either. I have had some o-rings on ebay that take months to sell & I'm not asking for crazy prices.
I think the #1 figure we are all waiting for is a better classic Duke. We will see how the handled Scarlett. What other 25th on characters need upgrading? |

I think there are some legitimate complaints. Like Snake Eyes has the Commando card art but the visor/ninja head on the figure and unlike the previous two releases doesn't even include the Commando head.Storm Shadow's card art is the original card art but Renegades figure. And on top of that they changed the black belt on the card art to match the white belt on the figure. Why not match the figure to the card art? Why change the card art for SS and not Snake Eyes? And maybe this is just me but changing the color of Storm Shadow's belt makes me feel like I'm being treated like I'm stupid. That last line isn't ment to be considered a legit complaint but a personal feeling.
As for Hasbro or who ever not meeting expectations when nothing was promised, that's on us fans and collectors anytime it happens. I'm as guilty as anybody on this one. I don't know how many times I've let my expectations go unchecked only to be like oh that's all it is. At the end of the day a product that is at worst good can feel like a major let down. |

82- Just about all of the Joe Team save maybe Zap, using the DG Duke body/legs as a base for most of them. Would love the 30th Cobra Soldier, SDCC Missile Command Cobra Officer, and Retaliation Ultimate CC on vintage card, 83-Wild Bill, Major Bludd & Duke for sure. 84- Ripcord, Spirit, Cutter, Roadlbock, Scrap Iron, Copperhead, Thunder, and the Stinger Driver need upgrades. Would be ok with the 2009 Recondo as is on vintage card. 85- Yeah Tomax and Xamot, just better heads really, the Club heads would do if they fit on the 2008 bodies-I'd be cool with that. Televiper needs an upgrade as well. After that I'd be cool with all of the 85 characters that we got since 2008, like 50th Lady Jaye, 30th Airtight, the better Shipwreck build, etc just being redone on vintage cards but they have to correct 50th Flint's arms. I'm okwith the dvd set Dusty but he could probably use an upgrade. He's popular enough to warrant it. 86- Mainframe, Dial Tone, v2 Roadblock & Iceberg for sure. I like the 2009 RoC Nitro build on Motor Viper but I'd like more paint apps and a more vintage toy accurate head on him and maybe on the '85 Lampreys too. 87 & Beyond: Falcon, Tunnel Rat & Outback for sure need better upgrades. Maybe a better head for the Club Muskrat. And again any of the figures that were upgraded or were perfect as they were that we never available on vintage card, like Technco viper etc. Would like to see a Targat, and some of the more popular figure that were left undone.

Agree to all of that Cross Country. Would love a Water Moc with some sort of updated Copperhead. Man that 25th figure is terrible. Really any Club figure should be fair game for an update. Covergirl...Big Boa... basically priced out of reach for most now.

I could have sworn the original card art and the 25th had a black belt. Thanks for pointing out my mistake as I never would have double checked.

And there's some great parts our there for all 3. I'd especially like to see Boa on the 50th Gung Ho torso.

Yes I've seen videos of the poor packaging they came in. I'm going to be furious if I get my Joes in and they are damaged what with the limited stock and not likely a chance for replacements at the moment. Not sure why they don't understand that these are "collector's" items. No one wants damaged items, even if it's just grocery items.

I buy smashed cereal boxes all the time (yay for bent & dent prices) but dented cans are another matter. They're murder to open!
(Insert Twilight Zone scene of me with 100 dented cans and a busted can opener. Why? I thought I had more time!) I mean the event was called Collector Con! They know who they're serving here. If it happens, I say we lynch em. |
