Trakker was available late last year as part of wave 11..however,that wave was quite limited.most shops only brought in 1-3 cases..i was fortunate to get 2,1 from local shop and the other from Toyworkers.

also,there has been no listing of Trakker on local ebay since last year till now.

Reaper,RM30 per fig for wave 11 is quite high..i think i got mine for rm20..wave 11 is a winner actually as it consists of Eels,Para Viper,Trakker ,Airborne and Zartan ..the other 3 being Bazooka trooper,Pilot Scarlett and the other character i dont remember.

also,that wave was sold out quickly, compared to the previous waves.

fuh, wave 6 selling for RM240 and just for 6 figs??man those scalpers really jack up the price.

Serpentor was a peg warmer as several ebay sellers were selling him at rm30 ,i think ..but that was months ago,way before ROC hits theatres.

well, Reaper at least you got it at no more than RM30 each..weird that wave 6 is pricier than wave 11..

i bought 3 red ninjas ,at rm45 each last year..they do look nice but still no match for Night Creepers,the ultimate ninjas.,.the man catcher staff for Red Ninja is cool tho.

PG shop is selling Hiss tank at rm64.90 ..a litlle high compared to the initial release price of RM 55.

Reaper,your purchase of wave 11 is a revision case?

i think he meant Big Bad Toy Shop..

Cobra troopers are usually cannon fodder for the Joes but for the ninjas to be easily eliminated is ridiculous.

anyway,the wait for 7 pack Cobra Attack and Defense is driving me crazy..heh.
maybe with the next 3- months being cooling off period for new ROC shipments,we may finally get them...

--->must get N. Creepers and Alley Vipers.............

on a side note,i saw one ebay seller listing Destro 2 pack yesterday at RM 135.i think i'll pass as i only need Destro's removable mask.box design is rather nice tho.

SAW Viper is a maniac.killing a bunch of Joes...love the helmet and armor tho.and i remembered Heat Viper's weapon is cool,back when i saw the fig in early 90s.

not to mention cheap too..PTE is not really a knock off product as they even have their website and their offering includes 1/6 figs as well..

the IFV is freaking awesome ,with slots for 6-8 figs..



here's my double decker bed / locker.

thanks deaman .

glad you cleared it up on the APC,dzirhan. i almost bought it..yeah the rifles that comes with the figs are flimsy..i threw mine away.but the backpack comes with elastic bands and that's good.i like the elbow and knee pads hence buying 4 (all i could find) figs just for those..

vests are a hassle to put on due to soft material straps.

TRU was selling BBI Elite Force 1:18 figures and some vehicles back in 2005..i like the figs due to their details.quite a number of accesories were included with each fig.

expect SS FF to be a hot seller so better preorder now.

i've checked all 4 of my PP SE's katanas and sheathes..and the katanas do not slide in fully ,leaving a gap..both the katana and it's sheathe are of the same length ,measuring from the hilt of the blade to the end.

see pics below.

SS Storm Shadow sucks..a real turn off for me.and after the awesome job they did on SE,they screwed it up with this offering.

Reaper,those baggy pants,loose fitting vest and overlong sash plus the matured look for his HS..those are the reasons why i hated it.

He looks like some middle age sensei..instead of in his prime.

yes Fatimus you are right in summarizing the origin of SE.

first of all, SE was scarred following a chopper crash in 'Nam while fleeing from VCs..SE suffered from severe face burns and that's how the iconic facemask comes in...the scars that developed from the crash and several surgeries that followed had almost disfigured him...he did wore a human mask complete with hair but ever since the crash,he lost his ability to speak.

SS recognized the fighting potential of SE and hence urged him to join his clan .He only did so upon returning to the States after the accident that left him scarred. And the main motivation for joining was him receiving the tragic news of the death of his parents and sister in a car accident.

AS for the death of Hard Master ,it was during the period that both SS and SE trained..FF was hired by CC to kill SE (CC's brother was involved in the accident that killed SE's family) and blames SE for it.
FF infiltrated Arashikage clan but upon witnessing the skills of SE,he knew he was no match...he then recommended Zartan for the job.

Zartan accidently killed Hard Master whom he mistaken for SE and he did this using SS's arrows.hence SS was blamed for Hard Master's death and he ran away from the clan but it was bcoz he was chasing after his uncle's killer.however in his mind ,SS blamed SE for his uncle's death.

SS was later recruited by CC as his right hand man ,performing deeds that CC entrusted to him .he clashed with the Joes on several occasion but later found out that it was Zartan who killed his uncle,under orders from CC and FF.

from there,SS joined the Joes but later was captured and was subjected to numerous brainwashing sessions courtesy of Dr. Mindbender's brainwashing machine..the reason for this is to maintain SS's loyalty to Cobra and specifically, CC.

SS did broke free from his brainwashed state by performind Arashikage's methods on meditation..even SE helped him during one of the issues of MArvel Comics where the entire Ninja Force was brainwashed by FF..

you have to read the comics for more details.

here's my simple US Army dio...the dio is too wide so i had to take separate shots. enjoy!

i only bought extra Shipwreck as i need him for parts..as for the others,i already bought doubles and triples and more much earlier before TRU had the promotion..then again,if waited till the promotion is going on,most of the sought after figs will be long gone..

as i mentioned earlier,there wont be new Joe shipments till march '10...you could try your luck at parkson as some collectors have spotted wave 5 there..

well, that's bro Odinn..always to get the good stuff first ,wayyy before the rest of us..once again,congrats!

if you think SE is bad ass in Resolute, you aint seen nothing yet..check out Valor vs Venom 3D cartoon and his various comic appearances ..then you will know how bad ass and kick ass he truly is.
