Just gonna say it, the foriegn Joes, especially the argen7 figs, are super kick ass! Way better than the crimson vipers, although the vipers turned out pretty good too. I'm poor now, but happy i got them all. Now debating if i should get that crimson guard, head looks alittle off, but seeing them drop off the building was awesome, i wasn't in range to grab one, although had I, I probably would have gave it to a kid, but now i kinda want one... lol.

What were the other exclusives selling for? The ebay prices today are outrageous.
