G.I. Joe thread - 09/13/2024: Pulsecon - Dreadnoks, Dogs and Cereal

The question would then be are the lasers fired in a GI Joe XCom be more accurate or less than usual.

Stopped by Ollie's looking for the Starscream Coronation set folks have found . No luck, but they were just starting to set up and stock their Christmas toy table.

I grabbed Classified Sgt Slaughter and the original 3 3/4 Hiss Tank III reissue for $12 each. They also had Fortnite Snake Eyes.

-Zacwilliam, at that price it was tempting to army build the Hiss which is not something I would normally consider.

I think Ollies must source inventory on more regional levels. I WISH I had seen a Slaughter or 3.75 Joe stuff. All I found at mine was a pile of Lady Jaye at $12.99 and a pile of movie Classified for $4.99. Given the relative lack of Joe stuff compared to other brands, I’m inclined to say that they MIGHT have had some of the “rare waves” people have found, but got bought up by “dealers” (as Ollies seems to refer to them).

At $15 and up, I’m good to skip the Twins and Stalker. But at $5? I’d buy them all (despite lack of space).

I DID find that pile of Coronation Starscream though

Just saw in the new Transformers comic that 'G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero' will be coming back in November.

 

[Dake]

It has begun!

 

[ZacWilliam1]

jive. They're actually doing O-Ring figures for it! Never thought we'd see that.

I had all the giant Joe playset vehicles as a kid and a part of me really wants this.

ZacWilliam, realisticly I have NO good place to put it.

 

[Lobjob]

I mean, it is absolutely beautiful but I knew that price was gonna come for you and there it is.

I adore it though and if this is just the start of their O ring game then hallelujah.

 

[Dake]

It ain't cheap, but it's less shipped than I paid for either my Flagg OR Defiant, so I'm in... Though I'm not buying the extra figure pack.

 

[Lobjob]

Sure, but the Flagg and Defiant are 40 year old collector pieces. This baby is brand new. We'll see if i can justify it because obviously i want it.

Alpine was announced for Classified as a name only reveal at the Hasbro/Super7 panel today.

 

[Confuzor]

Shadow Tracker and the other Walmart dudes are up for preorder.

Robot or human?

Clutch with the Vamp going up for preorder today. Pulse Exclusive.

Raptor and Iron Grenadiers as name only Reveals.

 

[ZacWilliam1]

Raptor and the Iron Grenadiers might not be my favorite Sub-B-list weird Joe, but they are solidly Sub-B weird Joe and I will always take that.

-ZacWilliam, waiting on Sci-Fi, Nemesis Enforcer, Maverick, Quick Draw and Hydro Viper

 

[Dake]

The proportions on that VAMP are just a little weird to my eye. It's like a Powerwheels version.

But when will Big Lob finally make his move?!

 

[TriBlurr]

Metal Head and Mutt with Junkyard shown at MCM London. Preorders should go up next week.

 

[Lobjob]

I would devour that Metalhead at 3.75.

I think it's the wheels, specifically the rims being so different from the original rims which were in-set.
