Has anyone seen the single carded Wave 5 figures pop up yet?

Nice, my collection is mostly 1/60 but I never liked the 1-S head and fingers.

Quick Kick feels no pain from shrapnel or the elements....that's why he's the only shoeless and shirtless Joe...he's the original badass from Watts, CA! http://www.myuselessknowledge.com/joe/quickkick.html

Quick Kick is coming for later waves? Wahoo! SS vs. QK battles here we come.

I bought the original AvP PC game and I don't know about AvP2, but the first one was really difficult. I gave up after getting beaten up by the aliens on the first marine stage.

Wonder if it will be full-length or a short 45 min. film to promote the Res. 5 game.

True, and once you get past it I thought this movie was great. Non-stop action for real. You get maybe a 4- minutes of down time and then it's off to another non-stop action piece. The Bourne vs. Moroccon operative fight in the apartment was the best of the series. The next James Bond film will have to ramp up it's action quota to match the Ultimatum's scenes.

Around Mission Viejo TRU and the Laguna Niguel Walmart.

I'm starting to find the previously MIA figures at Walmarts and TRU in So. OC. SO far I've found multiple Beach Heads, Firefly, and even Flint. So far I'm just awaiting the black espionage SE from Wave 5.

Just watched the Razor DVD, very good movie. I missed most of the last season but Razor jump started me back on the series. It's a very hard-core and well-paced movie with good editing...no slow sections at all, just one good scene to another. The back story on the Pegasus and crew's action post-Cylon attack were great. Sucked to be the Pegasus' XO!

That website on Liefeld is hilarious. I used to live in Fullerton, near Yorba Linda/Placentia where Rob used to live (I think he still does) and always bumped into him and his Extreme Studios crew. I can tell you he loves his Taco Bell since I always saw him there. "Rob Liefeld is still getting commissioned to do work for both major comics publishers. He is one of the most successful, recognizable, well-known and popular comic book artists in history despite being difficult to work with, egotistical, contrary and missing deadlines on a consistent basis. He has made more money than most of us will ever see in our lifetimes. He still cannot draw a foot."

Did anything happen at all this season, it played pretty much like season one. People die like every episode now and come back to life after the commercial break. I find it hilarious now when the teaser announces "Someones gonna die!" since I know that five minutes later after being shot/stabbed/burned etc. they'll be back. Peter needs to get thrown away from the show, he's been the cause of the explosion and almost the release of the virus directly...he's no hero just a dumb powerful guy and all Hiro does now is get knocked out all the time. I sure hope Tim K. realizes that the weak story and drop in ratings show that they need to re-energize the show for Season 3 with NEW plots and better NEW characters.

MP SS sells for $53 total with tax at Walmart. It's 49.98 retail.

I was in Missouri and I thought that since the town I was in was small that the crowds would be smaller at Black Friday then in So. Cal, was I wrong. Since there's not many shopping areas in MO, people drove hours to stand in 20 degree lines. I ended up getting my Tom Tom LE GPS for $110 and a couple DVDs and went to the Waffle House and headed home for a nap since I did not want to stand in line for house just to pay.

A Cobra Eel would be so cool to have released to go alongside Torpedo. I always thought the Eel I had as a kid had a great design to it. I wish I had room and would have bought those Elite Forces vehicles to go with these Joes since they also look good and the Blackhawks and Humvees go for about $20.00.

Guitar Hero III for the PS2 Tom Tom GPS (hope I can pick this up during Black Friday) Beach Head from GI Joe 25th Anniv. Wave 2 series Titanium G1 Ultra Magnus (Wish I bought it when it was at F&S for $30)

Wave 6 looks good, definitely will get SE and Torpedo and maybe even Rock & Roll since I had him as a kid.

Finally picked up MP SS this morning at a No. County San Diego location thanks to a member on TFW2005, I think it's a good looking figure for the roughly $50 price with an extra head and display base. Does his MP SS a one time deal or will Hasbro bring out the different Skywarp colors out as well?

Whoa, great job for your first Macross model. Very neat, clean and detailed.

The YF-19 doesn't exactly wow me as much as the YF-22.

I'm glad the single pack of SE in his commando attire is the same as in the 5-pack so that I don't have to buy him in the SE vs. SS comic 2-pack. The Crimson Guard also looks nice. http://i.toynewsi.com/g/index.php?mode=alb...600&start=0

UN Spacy, did you find MP Starscream in the Bay Area? If you did then you're the first I've heard of seeing SS in California.

So are people on MW still interested in Heroes? Last night's episode trudged along like the previous episode not giving any insight and rehashing the sample plot as the 2nd season premier episode. So far I'm disappointed in the Hiro section with the love-sick/stuck in ancient Japan line (Did his eyesight get better since he wasn't wearing his glasses anymore?), the plodding of the Maya & Bro section, and the horrible Irish accents used in Peter's storyline by the female actress. No one seems interesting this season so far.

For those looking for wave 3 GI Joes the Mission Viejo Target had a handful of Stalker, Shipwreck, and a Cobra Officer and some SS from wave 1. They had one Firefly with a bent up card but I ended buying that one. I just need Beach Head if anyone see it around Orange County.

The post regarding the find of the $48 Masterpiece Starscream was in Springfield, Missouri. So far there have been no other solid sightings of it, especially not good 'ol So. California. Great price though.
