Tonight in Irresponsible Action Figure Collector Theatre:
"Oh, it's okay, sometimes Pulse sends that 'shipping soon' notification weeks in adva--"
Checks my email
OH GAWD PAYMENT SUCCESSFUL ON THE VAMP
Got charged for the Vamp as well. Now just waiting on Pulse notification for Quick Kick, Airborne, Big Boa, Techno VIper, and Metal Head.
@jakeekiss didn't the 25th do the same? I forget. Do you know that the gun plugs in at the bottom? The scope slides in that slot.
Yeah the gun I figured out on my own, the ax just slipped by me somehow. What do you mean "the 25th"?
@leor I had ordered the VAMP along with a Chuckles when he became available again to order.
Obviously Chuckles has shipped a long time ago, but I am still waiting for the VAMP to be charged. Says it will be available March 11th, 2024. So I imagine I'll be getting a notice in the next couple of days.
No email notification, but I did get a ~$108 charge from Pulse today. VAMP should be on the way soon!
@canprime Not sure how you preordered, but you may want to see if you got charged already if you used cc.
Not that I'm in a huge rush for a flood of figures, but I ordered the next half-dozen Joes through Amazon (I think I was on a business trip when they were available so I just preordered wherever Preternia linked to first!). Wonder if this'll be a rare case where Pulse ships first. I'm most impatient for the cardback Scarlett cos I'm hoping to finally have a Scarlett without a frozen hip joint this time, but Boa looks so ridiculously fun and Recondo's an old fave, hoping they ship relatively soon.
Isn’t there a possibility of another preorder besides Walmart Nightforce Shocker and RAM on Thursday 3/14? I thought I saw something somewhere.
I’m looking forward to playing with the VAMP when I get back to States. I’m scared to try but I keep seeing pics of HISS tanks with their treads removed to simulate damage in pics. Is that an easy process or does it stretch them out? I just have the one and don’t want to stress them. I am curious. As it is fun to simulate combat in pics.
I can’t wait to see VAMP v HISS pics! I don’t think I owned a VAMP as a kid. I had AWE Striker as I got into Joes later. I also had Armadillo which was so crazy like an armored vehicle the A-Team would fabricate. Bring on the Skyhawk too!
Thwipp!
@prophet I hope not. Up here Walmart is asking $75Cdn for NF Shockwave and RAM. Another preorder the next day will be a bit of an ouch.
I know they have it over two days, but I think last year there wasn't anything new revealed on the second day for Hasbro stuff (I think)? I think the new stuff revealed on the second day was other companies. That doesn't mean there won't be more stuff for the next Collector Con which is in the fall. However as I said I "think" that is what happened last year so don't take my word as gospel.
the 25th anniversary Joe's from 2007@jakeekiss didn't the 25th do the same? I forget. Do you know that the gun plugs in at the bottom? The scope slides in that slot.
Yeah the gun I figured out on my own, the ax just slipped by me somehow. What do you mean "the 25th"?
@unclassified Ahh. I'm basically a GI Joe dilettante. I had a small mess of them when I was young and then nothing until Classified and even now I'm cherry picking heavily. RV I had to pick up because I really like figs with a skull motif.
Yeah he's bad ass I like him alley viper and night vioers.the 25th line and modern 4 inch were like the classified.@unclassified Ahh. I'm basically a GI Joe dilettante.

Got FedEx tracking for Vamp and it should be here next Tuesday. Didn’t think I’d be pretty excited for this vehicle.
Also I’m assuming the Walmart Collector con joe figs tomorrow will also go up on Pulse at the same time?
I had canceled my first order of the Vamp when I got notified and came here to see posted it was back up for pre-order. I had two initially pre-ordered and didn't have a desire anymore to want two. I'm guessing since I canceled I went to the bottom of the line because I haven't received a new notification. It's okay and it is what it is.
However I received an email notification from GameStop this entire next wave is getting ready drop. It seems like a lot but it's only eight figures.
