  1. I've never seen an updated Joe vehicle I liked as much as the original. HISS 2/3/4/5 anyone? Just look at the new Night Raven....
  2. Renegades is also on Tubi. Resolute wasn't easy to find when it was new, almost impossible nowadays AFAIK. :edit: Oh hey, Tubi has Resolute, too, I haven't seen it in years, will definitely watch tonight. I see Sigma 6 and looks like the DiC series, too. I think they have EVERYTHING but the 86 movie...
  3. So, just some thoughts/questions for the group: I've come close to selling off all my Joe stuff (which is 90% 25th/30th) several times----but now that there's new 50th stuff, and the fact that "there's plenty of characters they'll likely never get around to in 6in scale" I might as well keep it for now. I did give away my vehicles to younger cousins etc. (reissue Rattler and HISS). That said-- Anyone have good guesses for future vehicle reissues? Or will the HISS likely be a one-off? While I'd love a Moray or Water Moccasin, I consider them unlikely. (Night Raven even more so, on both counts---though from what I can find online, Hasbro did say the Night Raven mold still exists). Another Rattler? Skystriker? Or just keep things small? (I dislike most smaller vehicles----twice as big is thrice as neat) Chance of vehicles for 6in? Almost nil IMHO, and the largest possible thing even if done would be a HISS, and even that is likely too large. And nobody wants a 6in scale trouble bubble IMHO.
  4. pengbuzz----Yup! I think it's a simplified miniaturized KO of a third-party KO of a voyager Grim... (hard to track these things sometimes) peter---oh wow, I think mine was the ST:VI boxing, too. As I recall, the only method I could get to work for the nacelles, was to tape them in place to mom's flower vase and let it sit in the kitchen table like that for a few weeks until the copious amounts of glue dried rock-hard. (the flower vase was the exact size needed to fit between the nacelles and behind the shuttlebay!)
  5. Based purely on your post, I ordered one the next day, just got it yesterday, and started working on it today. I'm painting a few bits on mine, so it won't be done today by any means.
  6. I want one without the junk on the wings, but using the Advance feet. (I watched the OVA again, and got out the design works again--I don't know what they were smoking when they thought the new heels looked MORE accurate to the original YF-19--they're LESS accurate---they're just fugly-ridiculous now)
  7. Seconded---give us the Night Raven, cowards! Or the Moray---pound-for-pound, the Moray is the best Cobra vehicle. It's not THAT big, but it's top-tier stuff. The Mamba is a pipe-dream, AFAIK never had a re-release after the original, even the Night Raven got a recolor/reissue. But a new Mamba---I'd clear a shelf for it...
  8. It dropped to "only 3 left" between replies. I assume zero when you clicked.
  9. Ahsoka works now, could add to cart
  10. mike---are you sure Magnum isn't a Ferrari 288? 4 big lights up front,"gill slits" at the rear, and a swept-up spoiler: (and those distinctive side-mirrors that everyone at TFW seem obsessed over...) G1 Wildrider (the toy at least, who knows what the animation model was Frankensteined from), is a 308 GTB QV as best I can tell.
  11. Which one's that? So there are three? ( light blue, dark blue w/gold, and another dark blue?) ::edit:: Yup, looks like three-----light blue with gold, dark blue with gold, dark blue with black/silver.
  12. Ok, so is this "regal variant" exclusive/rare, or are they just calling it that to distinguish it from the much lighter colored one? I.E, will normal stores carry this one as a normal release? Or will there be yet a third variant, that is to be the "mass-market" version?
  13. Seriously, I'd watch TNG all over again if we could get all the alternate versions:
  14. Are you sure you're not confusing wanting/hoping, with expecting? I HOPE for and WANT new core movie/season 2 characters, but I EXPECT to see Sideswipe 2.0 and Soundwave 2.0 first... :P
  15. So I can order something from N-Y, choose something fairly cheap/fast like Eco-post, knowing full well they can't ship it that way because of JP-US shipping issues---and they'll just let it sit around in their warehouse, sold but unshipped, and they're ok with that? (as in, I'm ok with that idea---I just want to order something now, because I'm pretty sure it'll sell out before normal shipping resumes---I don't care about getting it late, I just care about purchasing one before they sell out)
  16. KARR works even better, he's voiced by Peter Cullen, and has a laser.
  17. Does anyone else keep track of the planes they've seen (as in, non-museum ones), or just me? (basically I try to get the serial/bureau number of any "live" military plane I've seen, hoping that someday I can get a model of the exact one, etc).
  18. The pre-order for Gigawatt, put any DX Valkyrie to shame. Only like 1 or 2 confirmed orders, in the entire TFW forum AFAIK.
  19. I still have my original Genesis, MIB, if anyone wants "the real thing".
  20. I don't like green version either. Give me a cheaper, "episode 1/2/3" version. Just glows red, red-tinted clear parts, ONE SHIELD, and skip the extra half-dozen guns and the stands for the shields. I'd never use half the stuff in the box, as it is. PS----we all know the Unicorn's coolest weapon is the beam magnum. First and original gun. Leave out all the other, inferior junk.
  21. What is the actual base color of the belly? Pure white, or light grey? (ignoring the weathering). Compared to the tailhook, it looks grey in carceroth's pics, which is a pleasant surprise.
