Crimson Strike Team arrived and man, that package is great. Definitely keeping the package, but not sure how I'm gonna get the figures out without really messing it up. I definitely want to see these guys assembled with my Crimson Guards, Vipers, BATs.
Chuckles should be here tomorrow!
The packaging is really easy to get apart, the black part around the top of the figures just comes right off. From there each figures cardboard coffin can slide off of a cardboard rack. Then you can simply cut the ties off and reassemble the packaging.
Thanks, I actually just got through the whole package. But I don’t like to cut the ties. That was the challenge. When it was plastic trays, it was easier to replace the figures even if I cut the ties. With these, if I want to replace them, without the ties they’d just flop around. Now I can still secure them with most of the ties that are left (I had to cut the waist tie for Baroness). I even cut the accessory bags with scissors to keep that as neat and crisp as possible. I folded them neatly and put them back in each of their boxes.
Ah, that makes sense. I hate the plastic ties, much prefer the paper twist ties because they're easier to work with
I was going to have a look at my POL and there's Helix on the front page. I had to add her.
I think the Twins should've had fists for some extra synergy between Chuckles and the Strike Team. Chuckles has brass knuckles and Twins can only fight back with slightly open trigger finger hands.
Just in case, does everyone know about the $15 Viper three packs at Ross?
I had not heard about this... I must drive to Ross forthwith and check.
I was just at Ross in Orlando and didn't see a damn thing. I am surprised at how badly that viper 3 pack bombed, it didn't even feel overpriced at retail.
I had got two of those Viper packs. For $15 I could have purchased nine packs for the money I spent. It’s ok. Personally I like the CGs, BATs, and Troopers more. I have 8 with the two CI Vipers I have. That’s enough…
I say that but if I was in a Ross and saw a pack I’d buy a couple for Toys for Tots. I have Spirit, Storm Shadow, Commando Snake Eyes and Timber, TF Outback, Zartan, and a few others I’m gonna throw in the T4T box. I want to make new GI Joe fans. It’s great getting these discount Joes to pass along. I did it with the cheap Target Marvel Legends too. It’s fun buying them on sale and feels good passing on to kids.
Thwipp!
The closest Ollie's is a 4 hour drive each way and I've never seen a Ross, I've also spend thousands on full-priced Joes, but boy, it sure doesn't ever get old hearing about the insane deals you can find at those two stores! I don't feel goofy about spending as much on one red Viper as others spent on two full sets, no sir. I'm totally cool with others getting $6 Zaranas as I consider buying them for $20 just for fodder. Can't wait to pre-order a bunch more toys tomorrow that people find six months later for over 75% off.
I don’t know why my area doesn’t have those discount stores. Why does it have to be regional? I kinda just one one cheap Zarana. All I can do is monitor Amazon’s price from my cart.
I don't think Ross has made it into the New England area. I'm always kind of jealous because Tfw2005 has a discount store thread and Ross always seems to have good finds. They seem better than Ollie's in the long run, who's on a hot streak because they bought a mega amount of Hasbro product. Ollie's is much better than TJ Maxx/Marshalls, plus they have a solid graphic novel/TPB selection.
The weekly Joe deliveries should continue for at least one more week. I have Shooter, Mole Rat, and Vypra on the schedule for 11/1, but I haven't gotten any processing soon emails. I think it was JayC that said some people were complaining about not receiving a notice for Chuckles. I don't see one either, but I did get one for Strike Team.
Just checked out the hiss tank unboxing video and oh my Lawwwd, I am in awe. 🤩
I can watch the video in a couple hours. Looking forward to this!
Thwipp!
Got customer service to issue me a $15 promo code so I could order the in stock Big Ben at the same price (well, $3 less - I would've been fine with a $12 promo code lol) as my "Delayed" preorder.
No idea what I'm gonna do about my "Delayed" Range Viper, though.
Thanks, Walmart. You're a great organization as always. 😒
I watched the video the HISS looks incredible. This might up end up being my favorite Haslab and that's not a knock on the other ones. I can't wait to get it.
Not sure if anyone has seen this but a leak of the Vamp
How are people watching HISS opening video?
Thwipp!
Also name reveals for Raptor and Iron Grenadier
