Yes I agree thank you for posting the pix and info!!!

I opened up Starduster and Grand Slam and they are very cool. I posted some pictures of them. They don't hold the jet pack laser rifle very well. The forearms on the figures are too thick to fit the rifle. So I have the round part just above the wrist and the handle not in the hand. The laser rifles seem to be at least 2 different shades of green. The labels aren't precut.

Rip It looks cool but his chest sigil seems to be placed a little too low.
Steeler looks cool but blonde?

Assuming Hasbro will have displays featuring figures from wave 4 and beyond when would those be on display? Sat? Sun? Just curious.

They had Hasbro display cases on the backwall in the dealer room. I could see them through the doors but they were too far to see what was in them. However, they seemed to be full and all set up. Maybe some of the dealers took pictures while they were setting up? Maybe that's what showed up at hisstank.com earlier today.

I just posted some more pictures of all the GI Joe figures together.

The elbow joint on many of the GI Joe figures have a space similar to the closeup of Clutch's arm.

Also, the female troopers have a gap in the torso pieces at the shoulders. This seems evident in most of them I have. Also, the waist on these wants to twist and not face forward. Maybe the o-ring is too small or the waist piece doesn't jive with the torso.

Anyone know if the Grand Slam/ Starduster helmets were remade elsewhere?

Or have we decided as a community, which helmet the normal Grand Slam will wear since he's short one that should have come with him in the boxed/bagged sets?

Thanks for posting. I just noticed Starduster's undershirt appears to be old school Starduster Sky Blue!

Great pics! Tanks! I mean Thanks!

Might just have to get the Grand Slam/Starduster pack or one of them.

Someone at another board said the Hasbro people said the 8-inch line is being discontinued.

I guess that's been rumored for awhile now.
