Ah. That sounds... expensive.Originally Posted by Jbluez
What JB said, except the other way around. I bought the sets and broke them up, Ebaying the figs I didn't want. The best thing was that near the end of 2007, HTS had them back in stock at $25. I ordered 8 sets at that price, and took advantage of a 25% promo code that included free shipping. This knocked the price down to $18.75 a set, which made selling the extras easy.Originally Posted by Rooster3D
Oh yeah, I also got a pair of Troopers from The Reverend.

Nonetheless, I'm torn about it. On one hand, I prefer the red sigil and black mask on a trooper. On the other hand I like the wood accent SVD and carded package of the silver version. I think this is one case where I disagree with them going overboard on the silver (25th anniversary) theme. In any case, I loathe the yellow web gear and don't especially care for the red masks.
Speaking of that... anyone want to trade 2 air troopers, 3 scarred officers, and one yellow gear trooper for 6 red sigil/black mask troopers? PM me if interested, or if you want to switch it around a bit.
Excuse my ignorance, but who the heck is that guy in white hanging onto the M1A1 cannon Anyway, looks great.Originally Posted by Rooster3D
These are some amazing pics guys. You have given me some great ideas. Here are some of my loose pics.

I finally built a slightly larger shelf...
Added figures, so new display pics. Except for one, they didn't turn out as great as I had hoped. During the day I get better pics because the sun bounces off of my blinds up into the ceiling and walls for a more natural look that's easy to photo, and also reduces the yellow. I really like the photo with the Joes in the morning sun. The only issue I have is that I took it before I acquired the two GI Joe vehicle drivers, so they are obviously not in it. Oh, and Snowjob is a little hard to see in that image, but he's there.
Usually, my collection stays out of the sun, except for that photo. It was too good to pass up, and the result was very nice. Some of them look almost real from that stark light. But yeah, the blinds block all direct sunlight, otherwise.
The other four pics were taken at night. I spent some time in Photoshop to try and get them looking nicer, especially the worm's-eye of the HISS. I didn't shoot the AWE or the Night Spectre, simply because the M1A1 really puts them to shame. It's not like there was room for them, anyway. Maybe soon I'll try to get a shot of the Cobra forces with that stark lighting effect, now that they occupy that area.
Well, I just started this 25th thing a few months ago, so here are are few of my Cobras so far.
