haha,it's been some time since my last mega haul

yeah,we can't get enuf of ol Snake ,especially this version.
was tempted to get the Alpha quad vehicle with Scrap Iron since it's only RM10 each for the fig and vehicle.
Dragonhawk is not that nice ,imo..

as for the 5 pack,i got mine at RM 60.

i have one question for you and other ROC collectors ...do you guys keep the firing gun and missile?
i have thrown about 95% of mine..don't know what to do with them.

good haul there yourself...what 5 packs are you guys writing about?the ROC 5 pack or the one with flap on the box (SE and SS pics on the flap)

oic,,for a moment i was thinking it was the one with flap cover coz i got it for rm60. hehe..might grab another ROC Cobra 5 pack..Duke looks good in black.

vincentlee ,my Cobra pack cost RM60 as stated above.only the ROC Joe and Cobra 5 packs cost rm49.90.

just returned from my regular toy shop..came 2 cases of Target Exc. Wave 3 .each case consist of 8 sets ,each selling for just RM26.90..unfortunately ,another Joe collector sapu them all so i got nothing .

these are the sets from W3.

Thanks for comfirming the list.
I just talk to my TRU supervisor.seems like there won't be any Joe stuff coming in this month .
Bravo vehicles liks Gunship ,Dagger and Hydra absolutely sold out..Dragonhawk and Crusher still available tho'.
Got me 2 more ROC CObra 5 packs ,it's stock is quickly decreasing while the ROC Joe 5 pack is moving at a turtle pace .
Anyone sighted Eel with Wave Crusher ?i think sure ppl sapu them all by now.

This evening's haul...Was tempted to get two more Snow Serpents but somehow decided against it.
Am excited that finally was able to get my hands on Undertaker with removable Hat and Trenchcoat .

Added on February 6, 2010, 9:56 pmi am hoping for a TRU warehouse sale with ROC going for 80-90%.
this happened for Indiana Jones line back in 2009.Basic figs selling for RM4.90 only.i did bought 4 of the German Soldier with bike selling for RM 22.90 IINM..those 4 are all i could find at my TRU outlet.
yeah i too am reluctant to buy Pit, not bcoz of the price which i considered to be worth it but bcoz of storage space.

Arctic Snake Eyes is still available on ebay at RM 45 if you are willing to pay that price.

yeah ,gonna army build Ripcords for sure..both Arctic and JUngle Duke are pretty awesome..in fact all the figs in POC line thus far gets a 9/10 from me.even Snow Job's worth getting at least 3 for his backpack and insane amount of accesories.and HISS plus Cycle Armor are without a doubt ,the attraction in POC line. Hasblow finally gets things right..

well ,just be patience..one good thing is POC figs will cost less than ROC..still many leftovers from ROC that we haven't gotten yet..

plenty of goodies from Toy Fair 2010..lotsa must buy figs!shown below are just some of my favs..others you guys may have seen in earlier released pics.
sure hope Hasblow M'sia will bring them in and priced at half of the initial retail ROC prices.

my fav Joe fig gets triple treatment this year but two of them aren't as good as ROC's offerings (PP,Wave 5 and Rescue Mission) .





next up is my fav Cobra agent....gonna load up on him for sure.



Dusty's second offering dont disappoint..good for troop building..yay



Alley Viper,another top troop builder...the eyes' look like he's in state of hypnotism.i am in the midst of customizing an Alley Viper..will post pic together with other customs next month.



box packaging for POC vehicles ..



Doom Cycle...looks pretty bad ass to me. maybe it's a 'Nok cycle?



Cobra Ice Cutter..those treads are killer!



and I'm saving the best for last...two 7 pack Resolute figures!!another must buy sets,at least 2 each for each faction.
this saves me time for customizing SE,SS and FF.

G.I. Joe Pack consists of

Flint
Beachhead
Arctic Duke
Stalker
Scarlett
Roadblock
Snake Eyes



Cobra pack consists of

Alley Viper
Firefly
Cobra Commander
Storm Shadow
Destro
Zartan
Baroness

so its time to start saving up moolah for the next few months..then time to spend them on these awesome figures.

the fact that POC figures are not based on ARAH figures or cartoon /comic based ,plus some of them are possible continuation from ROC while others are new means Hasblow design team gets more freedom to design better and awesome figs.you can't deny the results based on the pics.

few more figs..not as awesome as the previous posted..i still like the 4 sword sheathes on SS..pretty cool.IINM ,that's the same amount of swords he will carry in the movie sequel .

Desert Battle Storm Shadow..worth noting is the skirting on SS is now made of fabric instead of rubber (ala ROC Wave 1 SS)



Arctic Threat Destro



Cobra Commander



Jungle Assault Duke..As I had mentioned much earlier,this is one definite figure worth owning..good for troop building.and this is testament as to why Duke figures are getting better with each release.

good info there bro.

a seller on ebay is selling Matt Trakker (from 25th Anni W11) for a staggering price of RM 95..i don't think anyone's gonna pay for that price.
back then ,i bought 2 of Trakker at only RM 20 each .

Here's my latest acquisition ; the AMP Suit!
I have 2 more on reserve status from one toy shop and I expect to receive them sometime this week .
After assembling and playing with it a bit ,I gotta say that this bad boy is simply Awesome.So awesome that I decide to forgo the upcoming Joes and Cobras' mechs .
The other awesome thing about Mattel's Avatar toys is the Itag feature .I haven't tried it yet but judging from youtube clips ,it sure is a cool feature .The one gripe I have is the fact that the left hand can't grip the knife tightly ,causing it to drop often.

Still can't seem to get the I Tag to work though as the 3D image won't appear on my screen






there's no twisties to bind the parts ,which is a good thing .


Cobra Supreme Power


Col. Miles sure is puny compared to Joes.

yeah ,instead of the usual seat present in GI Joe vehicles whereby you have to bent the knees ,here you just straighten the legs and place them inside the hollow space .the downside being the figure gets somewhat loose .

btw,i managed to get the Itag for both Miles and AMP Suit to work..rather cool feature.

RM 150. supposedly ,there'll be more than 80 pieces of AMP in the upcoming shipment so its more than enuf for us Joe collectors .

here's the latest Joe comic ,GI Joe Operation HISS which is sort of a continuation of ROC.featuring Scarlett and Duke in reactive armor plus Snake Eyes vs Storm Shadow.

get it here..

no problem. and here's the latest issue of GI Joe comic, no. 15.
don't be fooled by the cover artwork as the interior pages are nicely drawn.
