[evilspyderr]

\r\n \r\n One of my nine packages of figures showed up today! Woohoo.
\r\n
\r\n83 Cobra Soldier
\r\nStar-Viper
\r\nSecto-Viper
\r\nNight-Viper
\r\nTechno-Viper
\r\nAero-Viper &
\r\nAstro-Viper
\r\n
\r\nOnce my other packages arrive I\'ll be down to 16 Cobra figures to have all of em released from 82-89. Feels a little on the wierd side being so close to the end but then I realize just how far away I am when I look at the number of Joes I still need. \r\n \r\n

[commentor]

\r\n \r\n I just won this auction so really I have not gotten nor do I have these yet. Even so I had to post this because no kidding when I saw that I won this auction and no less by only a dollar my jaw droped.
\n
\n
\nMaybe it doesn\'t make sense for my cobras to need this many ravens and I have spent my Gi joe allowance for this month. Yet I still think I am very Lucky this time. I think it\'s funny that here I am soon to have close to six ravens and what is going back and forth in my head besides that I hope they will be safe on their trip to me, is how does someone meaning the seller end up with six ravens. Yet here I am about to have six ravens kind weird huh?
\n
\nI was surprized that the seller did not have a reserve and although this is the case I feel gulity that they didn\'t go for more. All I can guess is that it must have been a space thing for the other bidders?

The last three days have been some crazy GI Joe shopping spree for me! On Sunday I opened up the super-sweet Vamp that Starscream2 sent me. Monday afternoon the Torch/Bazooka and Electric Eel/Shipwreck two packs that Sam Reese sent me arrived. Awesome! Later that evening I decided to head on over to TRU to see what I could find. The were pretty well cleared out of everything except for MonkeyWrench, SAW Viper and the Night Ops Hummer. So I picked those up. I am mightily impressed with the Hum Vee and SAW Viper is wicked! I got a free S6 Ninja BAt with \'em. My first S6. It\'s ok. Don\'t know what I am going to do with it though. It might just be some giant robot that Mindbender ceated.
\nYesterday was when the real action started. My Joes were driving around in the new vehicles wondering what to blow up with Bazooka\'s bazooka when my wife comes home from work and says that we should go to the comic shop and finish paying off the TERRORDROME that I had been making payments on. Wooo Hooo!! Wooo Hooo!!! It is an super complete with only one broken hinge. While I was there I thought I should buy Ripper and Zandar to help finish off my DreadNok collection.
\nSo anyway I\'m going to head to TRU today to see if the restocked. But meanwhile I need to go play!

From receiving gifts in the mail to exploring your local toy stores and comic shops, it seems like you\'ve been able to add some great new pieces to your collection.
\nIt\'s always fun to receive gifts in the mail, and the Vamp you received from Starscream2 sounds like a great addition to your collection. Then, the Torch/Bazooka and Electric Eel/Shipwreck two packs that arrived from Sam Reese were another great find. It\'s always exciting to add new figures to your collection, especially when they come in a two-pack like these ones.
\nVisiting TRU can be a hit or miss, but it sounds like you lucked out and were able to find some great items despite the store being mostly cleared out. The Night Ops Hummer and SAW Viper both sound like cool additions to your collection, and it\'s always nice to get a free figure with your purchase.
\nBut the real highlight of your shopping spree seems to be when you were able to finally pay off your TERRORDROME at the comic shop. It\'s exciting to have a complete set with only one broken hinge, and buying Ripper and Zandar to complete your DreadNok collection was a great decision.
\nIt\'s clear that you\'re having a blast with your new purchases, and it\'s always fun to play and display your figures. Hopefully, your trip to TRU today will yield even more great finds for your collection. Enjoy!\r\n \r\n

\r\n \r\n I just bought all this for £600 (buy it now) off Ebay. I\'ve only recently got back into collecting, is this a good deal?
\r\n
\r\nTheir are 290 lines so thats almost only £2 a line and their are lots of mocs and a few vehicles and multiples on some lines. I realise it\'s all newer stuff.

\r\n \r\n LONGish STORY -
\r\n
\r\nI just got from 82-88 -
\r\n
\r\n74 filecards (Zartan schizophrenic! SE V2! Scarlett, Tunnel Rat!), 26 blueprints, 15 pieces of other paperwork, 73 cut flag points (several more uncut because I have the top half to all the figure cards for the file cards), 26 Transformers tech specs, 14 robot points, a small pile of Transformers paperwork (from 84-88).
\r\n
\r\nAnd the best part was - IT WAS ALL FREE!
\r\n
\r\nWe are getting ready to move after five years and my wife said "there are two boxes in the garage we never unpacked from the last move. I think they\'re yours."
\r\n
\r\nI THOUGHT I had thrown out all of my filecards after college, a few years before the Internet and eBay made everything collectible (1996 or so). However, I have been thinking of recollecting ones for certain figures (like Tunnel Rat, SE, Spirit, Scarlett, etc.). So, I\'ve had them on the brain. And I started thinking "maybe those boxes have old Joe stuff..." Lots of my stuff had disappeared, including SE V2 sword, Scarlett\'s crossbow, Zartan\'s thigh pads and Spirit\'s eagle, which EVERYONE wants (I have all the other parts for each figure mentioned! AARRGH!). But I didn\'t want to get my hopes up.
\r\n
\r\nBut then, I open the box and my old tupperware container of Joe and Transformer paperwork is right there! There\'s gold in them old moving boxes!
\r\n
\r\nIf you want to help with those accessories or other stuff, I\'m going to offer a lot of the filecards, all the blueprints and some of the paperwork for trade in a few days.\r\n \r\n

[keg_daddy]

\r\n \r\n A few weeks back there was a ad in a local newspaper for a \'large collection of gijoes for $195\'. I wasn\'t expecting much, but I went to the person\'s house to check it out. Wow, was I ever amazed! 71 peach cut filecards, 67 figures from 1982-1985 (60+ are MINT), a couple of the good figures from 1986 and 1987, 40+ vehicles and accessories (some are mint, some have broken parts or glued parts) 40+ blueprints for the vehicles and accessories, cut out flag points, a few vehicle and accessory boxes, and very well organized.
\r\n
\r\nThe stickers on the vehicles are all neatly placed and have no wear. I FINALLY got ahold of a mint Storm Shadow, mint red scar Tomax/Xamot, mint Zartan, plus almost all of the 1982 and 1985 line in mint condition. Alot of the 1983 line was missing due to the buyer already having the 1982 versions, but that was okay with me! This buy took out a huge gap of the figures I\'m looking for, and plus I have a ton of extras if I decide to sell and get my money back.
\r\n
\r\nThe only \'downside\' is there was a Heavy Metal in perfect condition, but the microphone was missing \r\n \r\n

[CGC]

\r\n \r\n keg_daddy - Wow, nice find!\r\n \r\n

[This I Command!]

\r\n \r\n Well I finally got a figure I\'ve wanted for what felt like forever today (although I want them all to clarify ) Anyways I got a MOC 94 Alley Viper, which is no longer MOC. I\'m only 5 figs away from being done with 1994 now, and since I\'m big fan of group photos, check it out:\r\n \r\n

\r\n

Well I\'m obviously glad you we\'re just looking and didn\'t bid :-). I\'m actually concentrating on vehicles, I\'ve always been more into the vehicles, and I reckon it\'s cheaper when you consider how many figures their are. I find I bookmark a lot more items than I bid on. But then I sometimes bookmark just to see how much an item goes for.

\r\n \r\n I received my second moray hydrofoil in the post today. I was very pleased with it despite it missing key parts.
\r\n
\r\nMy first moray was very poor for parts, it\'s easier to say what it had left
\r\n
\r\nSide cannons with posts
\r\nWindscreens
\r\ntorpedoes
\r\nexhaust
\r\nfull missile launcher
\r\nSteering wheel
\r\n
\r\nMy second moray is great it\'s only missing the following
\r\n
\r\nSide cannons have broken posts
\r\nWindscreens
\r\ntorpedoes
\r\nexhaust
\r\nMissing the missile launcher smaller deck piece and 3 missiles.
\r\nSteering wheel
\r\n
\r\nRear guns
\r\nlamp lens
\r\nGun between windscreens
\r\nside missiles
\r\n
\r\nWhat a weird coincidence that the two lists match up so well. I count 11 parts that need swapping over. Moray 1 will be left as almost a completely bare shell. The only downside is that I was going to sell the windscreens and guns, and I thought they\'d get a good price, I can\'t now.\r\n \r\n
