Damn man those are nice. I'm getting envious already  sweat.gif

Do you get them shipped using first class mail(normal) or priority? I'd want to save on shipping but afraid it'll get lost if can't track it.
*
Oh i got them shipped using USPS First Class International, so far all the larger boxes using First Class International arrived in my hands in 1 piece (except my smaller non-boxed packages, i already lost like 8 of them sad.gif )

Thanks bro kerberos, odinn and sadistic reaper. Its my 1st time buying a toy item from ebay US. Seller was nice, offered USPS 1st class mail to save shipping cost but i asked him to include certificate (with extra cost) which gave me a reference no.which I can track in USPS. Or else have to resort to USPS Express which is lagi mahal.

Else I get from Amcorp Joe seller whose price is also resonable.

I missed out on shocktroopers but now since it is plentiful in US market, I decided to get em now. Bro tsg also poisoned me with his shocktroopers.

Seller didnt have more cobra vipers or else would have tapao those as well. Just have to wait for next round.

Sadistoc reaper, more vintage haul and 1st edition Alley Viper. That is one which got me impressed with Cobras.
*
I'm still waiting for several of my vintage vehicles to arrive, gotta take a while though but in the meantime, i'm waiting my 2 more HISS II tanks to be delivered today biggrin.gif

Yes, Sadistic photos and his comic strips in previous thread rejuvenated the venom in our veins. Iron Grenadier POC is currently high price if buy from US. Need to monitor regularly for good deals or to package with other stuff to save shipping. YOu can check out Entertainment Earth to consider ordering from them. However make sure value dun exceed RM 500 or else have to get Malaysian Custom clearance.

The seller was nice enuff to declare a lower value for my Joes package.

Hasbro Msia dun reply emails unless its business oppurtunity to them..waste time only. They now only busy ordering TFs and ignore other lines.
*
Ah, that's the sad thing about buying stuff in EBay and trying not to over exceed RM 500 to avoid the custom tax...been meaning to get the terror drome sad.gif

All the same, grats on a good haul this week. I'm so tempted to get some now too..

Unfortunately for us, I emailed hasbro a week ago and I've not received a reply from them..guess they'll ignore anything about Joes in Malaysia..

I want a troop of Vipers and Iron Grenadiers! Damn Sadistic and his poisonous vid reviews lol
*
Oh lol, then here's more poison tongue.gif

I want to buy more not only to save shipping but to get box packaging so that less risk of it being lost or stolen by insiders. Quite pain in a$$ when item took too long to arrive and you and seller would be pondering where it has gone? Sometimes sellers with 1XXX feedbacks could play tricks on us if they suddenly offer to sell behind Ebay.

It seems you collect all types of modern Joes, bro sadistic..at least those 80s Joe vehicles still able to fit the new figures. Those also valued less than RM 500..he he.

I used to visit Kathy Toy STore and Toys R Us back in the 90s where they have many Gi Joe figures and vehicles.

The Toxin Viper is so impressive...alot of effort has been put in to bring a Joe/ Viper character to the market.
*
Yeah, gotta agree with you, nowadays i just gotta buy at least several figures in 1 go from 1 seller, rather than just buying 1 loose figure from a seller and hope it don't get lost in their USPS mail. I already had several figures lost thanks to USPS sad.gif

Nah, i only collect the 80s vintage vehicles, not so much on the 90s or even 2000 series, i really can't take the bright colors and the awful color combination on the 90s vehicles lol smile.gif

More pic spam smile.gif

COOOOOOBRAAAAAA!!!

Awesome viper hauls. I want to buy more blue wrist vipers (which looked cooler than red) but have not come accross good deal yet. Just secured my 1st few iron grenadiers, and hoping to find more to stuff into the big box for seller to send over.

A single viper delivery would be easy pickings for the crooked Joes.
*
Thanks very much! Yup, i do preferred the blue wristguards than the red ones though (despite the red ones do look like the old cobra viper from the 80s) smile.gif

Postman delivered my package today, got another Steel Brigade, Cobra Trooper and Cobra Viper from the 30th Anniversary smile.gif

You're hauling like no tomorrow  laugh.gif 

From ws_toys? I wish this followed the Renegades cartoon and was an actual transport ship size vehicle instead of being a single seater and smaller..

All your recent hauls were via first class mail or priority mail?
*
Yup, gotten it from ws_toys, and yup, gotta agree with you, wish it was bigger and able to transport some troops like whats its been shown in the Renegades animation, they could have done it similar with the RoC gunship sad.gif

Most of my recent hauls are first class mail smile.gif

I'm a bit hesitant to ship via first class....no tracking makes it scary for me. How's your experience so far, how many shipped using first class and were there any missing? How many, if any?
*
For First Class tracker...

Most of the first class shipping that i gotten from the sellers, would provide tracking. But tracking number is useless in first class because the post office will only register the "check in" and won't state where the item is, and even when it arrived, it will not state it in the website coz no one bothered to scan the item code. If your item is lost, you won't even know and will still think it's still being stuck in customs (which is not, coz it's lost in the US in the first place). You can't say no to the seller to not purchase a tracker, they insists that you must (coz they think it would provide some way of secure shipping, which is not).

But Priority Shipping tracker will definitely update the moment the package checked in, transported, shipped out, arrival and delivery status.

Some sellers didn't provide the tracker but i still get my items but that's another story.

Whether if the item arrives or not, is another problem. So far to my experience, no matter what, boxed packages always arrives and ALL of my BOXED packages arrive in 1 piece.

At least 30% of my mailing packages/envelopes (anything not boxed and made of paper) are lost in the mail. I do get refund from several sellers, some even end up resending the item again.

I dun like those kiddy missile shooting mechanism which was also oversized in ROC line. HOwever the POC Viper rocket launcher comes with a stand so we can use it as SAA or anti-tank purpose. Its more like an equipment rather than a held on weapon.

Now Vipers and Iron Grenadiers is quite plentiful in US market. Go get em before its too late. Now I want to get more shocktroopers also hard cuz most sellers dun have multiples. sad.gif

Sadistic: Wicked crimson jet you have there. Is that air viper from Cobra Defense pack?
*
Yup, it's the Strato Viper from that Defense of Cobra Island 7 pack smile.gif

You need to look harder for the shocktroopers in multitudes, i did see some being sold in ebay smile.gif

I also, am trying to build the Cobra Vipers and Iron Grenadiers, along with the Cobra Troopers too smile.gif

I just received a couple of notification paper from the postman today, got 4 packages that needed to collect so i'll do it tomorrow smile.gif

And among all of that, i just received 3 sticker sheets from CobraStickers.com for my vintage vehicles of Cobra Wolf, Cobra IMP and the Iron Grenadier logos smile.gif

I thought Sadistic reaper may be there cuz there are several JOes vehicles around. Only a handful but impressive vehicles. Too many toys lumped into one island display due to lack of space offered by organiser.

Have to wait next year to see Joes being offered...then again I want the classic POC or 30th anniversary ones not the movie line.

Lol, sorry mate, i didn't bother to go to the toy fair coz i heard it was pretty lame and only displayed unsold ROC stuff in their stock tongue.gif
