Oh, Wraith. I don't really see how he's "robot-y". Thought the very-obviously-robotic BAT was the topic of discussion.

Sorry about that. I should have been more specific. Anyways I am quite impressed with Wave 9. BBQ and Bazooka looks a whole lot better. I am patiently waiting for Alpine, Dum Dum's buddy.

You mean the BAT? That's one of the best-known figures/characters. That's one of my most-wanted figs since I heard about the 25th line. (technically it's B.A.T. but few people use the periods)

Anybody know of final/comparison pics for Dusty? Is he only in that DVD pack with Serpentor and the BAT? Because I'd prefer a red-mask BAT, and I do want Dusty, so I might just buy that pack instead of those 2 individually--but only if the DVD-pack Dusty is very "normal". (His face stripes look too "extreme" from that pic)

This guy:

It was the Wraith not the BAT. Some new character from DD comics which I dont care to read after they killed off Flash.

Well Ace should get a mask. he looks like a helo pilot. Still Isnt skyduster Starduster? Man, what the hell is tat robot thingy? All the other figures look cool.

NM on the the robot thingy. I read up on Wraith. Looks cool but dunno how he will fit in the joe universe as I dont collect the DD comics. I may steal the paratrooper mask for Ace. The cobra paratroopers would make great customs for SEAL or Spec Ops HALO jumpers. I mean hell they have the HK MP5.

Well Ace should get a mask. he looks like a helo pilot. Still Isnt skyduster Starduster? Man, what the hell is tat robot thingy? All the other figures look cool.

I guess I haven't said my dream scenario in MW. Mikhail KIA, Sheryl gets a blue VF and Klan Klan and a slave who serve them.

Mikhail KIA? Dont make me smack you back to Bomba. Anyways no way Sheryl will hook up with Mikhail. KK will make sure of that. Besides, remember Mikhail made a comment about Alto's women? He said they were stubborn but he thought of Klan Klan. He stopped himself and said he didnt have room to talk as well.

BTW, where is the front landing gear piece?

Awesome work. I love it! So when you putting it on ebay?

VF-1 all the way. I fell in love with it when it was the Jetfire for TF toys. VF-4 would be next and YF-19 and then yf-21.

Diddo.....thanks for being upfront and not going CRAZY with the "helping price".

I know we are crazy. It all depends how crazy you are. Long as everything is in reason... I know DYRL Kakazaki and Angel Birds did not so well in sales from my understanding so this is why the exclusives.

Looks the new halls of heros characters have been decided based on HISSTANK.com news.

WINNERS OF “HALL OF HEROES” ONLINE POLL ANNOUNCED DURING ANNUAL GI JOE CONVENTION

Frisco, Texas -- June 28, 2008 – Hasbro announced the results of the online poll to determine the top 10 figures in the G.I. JOE vs. COBRA 3 ¾” single carded line, today at the annual International G.I. JOE Collectors Convention.

Over the past 1 ½ years, 62 individual figures have been created in celebration of the wildly popular storyline, as part of a collection commemorating the 25th Anniversary of the legendary G.I. JOE VS. COBRA saga that has captivated kids and fans since it’s introduction in 1982. After 77,000 online votes were cast, the winning figures to be inducted into the G.I. JOE “Hall of Heroes” are:

So the new hall off of heros are of the following:

1 Snake Eyes and Timber (2007 Wave 1)

2 Firefly

3 B.A.T.

4 White Storm Shadow (2007 Wave 4)

5 Beach Head

6 Cobra Viper (2008 Wave 3)

7 Crimson Guard

8 Flint (2007 Wave 1)

9 Zartan (2007 Wave 3)

10 Snake Eyes in All Black (2008 Wave 1)

“The Hall of Heroes not only celebrates what the fans like most in the G.I. JOE vs. COBRA saga,” said Michael Ritchie, Director of Marketing, G.I. JOE, “it is a bridge between the celebration of the storyline’s 25th anniversary and the kick-off to one of the most exciting years ever in the history of G.I. JOE” With induction into the G.I. JOE Hall of Heroes comes a new version of the top ten figures. Each will be released with unique deco and commemorative packaging. The “Hall of Heroes” line will be released in spring 2009.

I cannot believe SE is on there twice and No CC. WTF? I hope the new deco is nothing really offensive colors. I would rather see Flint in cartoon colors.

Damn it, I cannot get the song RTB with the whistling at the end of the last episode out of my head. Now I want that Alter FFR31MR/D Super Sylph. Must resist... Ugh.

EDIT: Hit the reply button too fast before I finished my post.

Count me in as a Yea for Nana-chan. I think she is an excellent support character as "Bomba" avatar boy stated.

6) The tricky part is how much should I be paid for my service. I think a respectable minimum is $70.00 if it's going to a fellow MW member. That example minimum does not included additional costs while trying to get the item, you will still have to pay for the item, shipping to me, any materials for packing, shipping to you, and finally Paypal fees. This is just an example and not what I would charge in the case of this thread, so don't start counting your pennies just yet.

I'm sure I've missed a few steps but getting an exclusive item isn't as easy as most non-residing Japanese collectors think or in some cases even insist on.

I got not problem with that. You are doing us a favor and I would gladly appreciate that.

You would be surprise that the age of consent in mostly Christian countries is between ages 13 - 16

It seems it was Max.

edit: forgot the image file.

I thought it was Catholics who crosses themselves.

Sleekest plane in the line, even til now, and the best Cobra jet ever designed. I don't see it as cumbersome at all. What other Cobra jet looks better, the Hurricane, the Rattler? The gimmicks work seamlessly as well. Neither of them look as good. You want to talk about cumbersome, look at the Thunderwing. That bloated thing with tiny wings is nowhere near sleek.

You and I both man. I am hoping for a new mold classic Skystriker. I want both man, the new one, and a new one based on the old. It doesn't help that I love both the YF-23 and F-14.

You know what? I am just putting Ace in my 1/18 scale F/A-18C from BBI. I am not a big fan of the Hornet but it is the best we got. I am betting the yf-23 is gonna be goofy scaled.

Man tough choices... Mine would be either a VF-1S Max with FP DYRL or the VF-1J Max FP. He is absolutely my fav character. But you all know me, I wouldnt just stop there.

My question is why these 1/48s? I thought Yamato was ending it with the 25th and period end of story and now comes the 1/60v2 where all yammie macross products for all the series like M0, M+, DYRL and SDFM are now in harmony scale wise. And to add insult to injury they wont use NB4M idea for a 2 seater 1/48 valk.

I think it is all a conspiracy. Yamato knows we will buy anything macross in any scale. They want our money alright.

this isnt necessarily a bad thing here. gives me time to recover...

Count me in for 2 or more on the VF-1A Max. I can careless on the weathered painted Hikaru and Roy... well Roy maybe.

I like the Ranka's rendition of Do you Remember Love that she sang in the end of Ep12 albeit it was short. Still I like most of the songs in MacrossF though Triangular is my favorite.

Guess mine is a limited edition.

I don't mine it not having the yukikaze symbol. I have a second one on the way. I ordered the one I have from HLJ... the second from a different store to see who was fastest. Both were discounted pre-orders as you can tell HLJ was the fastest.

I just wish the nose number was not 503 or had someone other than 1LT Fukai as the pilot with the missing symbol.

Ohh man it looks good but for $92 USD? I dunno... Seems way too pricey. Even more so with the prices we pay for a 1/48 yammie. Then again, I paid $100 for the CMs Brave Patlabors...

I'm leaning on YF-23, I read YF-22 at first but it was at a site that rushed to get their reports in quickly and completely overlooked grammatical errors. The guy that told me it was the 23 definitely knew the difference between the 2 planes.

I dunno. I seem more nastolgic towards the old Skystriker. I simply love the F-14 Tomcat but oh well. I was looking forward towards a 1/18 scale Tomcat. I will wait and see how the new Skystriker will look.

You ppl have way too much time on your hands. Go buy an xbox or other game console to become a geek in your own private home. Better yet, you guys need to find a GF. Better yet can you get one. Next thing you know someone will ask about a VF-1 vs Xwing or a veritech vs Xwing (yes I saw that idiotic post on Robotech.com.) or even better a Cylon raider vs the VF-1... Then again I got no room to talk to with my collection...
