You're hauling like no tomorrow

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

Most of my recent hauls are first class mail

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.

The current seller also ponders why I went ask for tracking no. which cost more. For me, as long the final cost still within my budget per figure I am willing to go with tracking for surety. And yes, there are some sellers insist on tracking regardless whether we want to take risk with 1st class.

I recently purchase a non-Joe toy from US with tracking. Item arrived but when I checked USPS website, no updates on arrival at Malaysia...ite been a week.

So there are risks but so far (touchwood) as long we research and thru proper comunications with seller, things would not go wrong.

I agree with Odinn, sadistic reaper hauling like no tmmrw and amassing an army here.

Got my Black Dragon VTOL out from the package and took some pics

Fulamak cun! Got rotating fans to cool us in the office (an excuse to give to boss). Reminds me of one of the Star Com vehicle.

The color scheme is awesome...and like one of those NOD vehicles in Command & Conquer.

As you mentioned, the new refreshed Cobra Viper with red wrists comes with bazooka instead of surface to air rocket launcher?

The repacked Viper comes with more accessories compared to the POC one. No shooting missile launcher ala ROC launchers. Planning on building a small squad of Vipers and Iron Grenadiers

I'm pretty glad to get this custom made boarding ladder, but it was a bit too long so i had to saw off the bottom section for it

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.

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

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

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

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

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

THANKS!! COBRAAAAA!!!!!

Went to the post office this morning to collect 4 of my packages



1987 Hasbro G.I. Joe's Cobra Maggot (complete but no figure and comes with instruction manual)
1988 Destro's Despoiler x2 (complete and comes with Iron Grenadier Destro)
1988 Destro's A.G.P. (complete but no figure and comes with instruction manual)
2009 25th Anniversary Alley Viper (complete and comes with file card)
2011 30th Anniversary Cobra Trooper & Cobra Viper (both mint in card)

Yesterday I went MITF...saw some nice Joe toys at Sembang Toys Corner. There is the Sigma 6 copter which can lift another Joe mech unit...damn awesome. They dun make toys like they use too now.

Was ok I think..I bet there're among us here who would put on a better Joe display if given the chance

Last years' fair was better for Joes, Toywizard was there selling the wave 1 Bravo vehiles for POC and SDCC Slaughters. I asked the Hasbro booth there (claimed they were just representatives), no Joes would be sold at the MITF and no info if Hasbro would take in any at all anytime soon..
