2010 Con set IS the Red Shadows

[RedClaw]

Agreed.

I can't believe that some of those Johnny-come-latelies on that message board I won't mention are whining about the Red Shadow's head. Seriously, due some homework in this hobby instead of playing with your 25th figures in a sand box.

While quite blunt, I am in complete agreement with you, Pete. This is one of the most ambitious and impressive sets that The G.I.Joe Collectors Club has offered.

This is something that long-time collectors have been asking for since...I'd say the mid-90s. It is basically the official integration of European Action Force and G.I.Joe into one cohesive brand/concept.

And in a figure format/style that fits together with our long-standing collections.

I'm new to the club so I'm not sure how ordering goes. If I don't want to go to the convention, I can order a set. But am I able to order a bagged set from the website or do I HAVE to get the boxed set?

You have to have purchased a boxed set in order to buy a bagged set.

well that sucks

anyone buying a boxes set that's willing to get a bagged set for me? I'll prepay.

I for one cannot wait for this set. I have always wanted to collect the international figs and always wanted the shadows ,now I can have a couple sets worth!

I love the bluntness, and I agree with you both. Long. Live. Mighty. ARAH.

[firefly owns you]

Is the head they are using for the red shadows the exact same mold from the 80's figure? Or is it like a retool of some existing head?

In any event those look damn sharp. I had a few red shadows when we lived in London when I was little. I can not wait for this set.

Just checked out this coolness:

Best line that doesn't stand the test of time and changes in vernacular: "Yahh! My tranny!"

It would be cool if GIJCC is on the ball and mentions the "John Shepherd" alias on the Black Major's filecard.

That would be very funny!

Well, I now find myself unable to attend. Anyone feel like picking up the extras for me and shipping them? Preferably someone with a PayPal card so I can send you the money at the con and you can use it directly from your account? Just wondering if anyone feels like helping out a fellow Joe collector, I DO know it is a pain standing in that line! Thanks!
