Finally ,my much awaited "LATE"st haul has arrived. Better late than never .
With this haul ,my own ROC collection is 90% complete .Just need to find Target Deluxe Figure Packs Wave 3 ,RHINO ,Wallmart Shockblast Vs. Night Creeper ,Desert Rockslide ATAV with Dusty and Lava Pod with Volcano Viper. I think that's all.

I have opened all 11 of the figs ,save for one CS SE and Firefly .



Twin CS Snake Eyes (finally!)



Pit Commandos with one variant version



Serpent Armor



Need the extra Stalker for a Nunchuk custom



Flash, Firefly, Red Fang and Charbroil

yeah,it's the same figs on the pegs week after week .you didnt buy PIT HQ or 15" Duke?i think Duke is worth getting for the numerous sounds and gimmicks ,plus the "crazylegs" (not the Joe character Crazylegs ) running motion.

thanks for the compliments, bro.i think the awesomeness of the figs justified the prices i paid for them.

thanks.yeah from evilbay.

yeah,till mid of May IINM.not all ROC items are tagged at 50% discount though.

was rummaging thru a stack of old articles and stumbled across some of my ARAH Joe filecards .figures gone ,but cards still there.

i agree the artwork is not top notch. check out the work of Robert Atkins who penciled the regular IDW GI Joe series..really awesome.I am awaiting volume 3 of the TPB ,which again features his talent.

bravo on the RHINO haul .my desire to own one had almost died down until you posted yours.

one a side note, looks like we could get POC figs by August ,crossing my fingers. gonna get me 2 HISS and 2 Wolf Hound (Snow Cat).Just Wave 1 of POC is enuf to make me forget the first 3 waves of ROC.





POC WAVE 1: The evil schemes of Cobra are thwarted throughout the world by the noble soldiers of G.I. Joe, and their battles can be replayed time and again with the G.I. Joe action figures! Each figure stands 3 3/4" tall and comes with accessories. Fans can choose from Duke (Version 5), Storm Shadow (Version 5), Cobra Commander (Version 2), Alley Viper, Snake Eyes (Version 5), and many more. Blister card packaging. Estimated ship date: 7/28/10

GI JOE BRAVO VEHICLES: Stage your own battles between the forces of G.I. Joe and Cobra with the all-new G.I. Joe Bravo Vehicles, scaled to the 3 3/4" figure height! Choose from the HISS Tank, packed with the HISS Driver, or the Wolf Hound, packaged with Whiteout.
Estimated ship date: 7/28/10

GI JOE ALPHA VEHICLES: Take your Joe and Cobra forces into battle with these 1- and 2-man vehicles, scaled to the 3 3/4" figure, each with its own exclusive pilot/driver! Collectors can choose from the Doom Cycle, which comes with Storm Rider, or the Ghost Hawk, which comes with Tomahawk. Estimated ship date: 7/28/10

GI JOE MECH SUIT: In some battle situations, the forces of G.I. Joe and Cobra turn to their armored Mech Suits for high tech battles to determine the fate of the world. The G.I. Joe Mech Suit Figures comes with one mech suit and the matching driving figure, and are in scale with other 3 3/4" G.I. Joe action figures. Choose from the Steel Marauder (with Kickstart) or Cobra's Deviant (with Cyber Driver). Estimated ship date: 7/28/10

whoa,"at least 4 HISS"..are you sure that's enuf?

indeed,POC basic figs are a much welcome opportunity for customizers due to the large amount of accesories and weapons included.plus,no more intolerable missile launchers..yay!

initially CC was meant as a exclusive fig but later Hasblow decided to include him in the regular lineup.
as for the launchers,i do recall reading one article mentioning no more launchers.in it's place are more accesories.

btw,TRU receive some GI Joe stuff yesterday.i haven't seen them but was told they are some sort of vehicles meant for kiddies?? i am assuming it to be part of the Rip Attack line.will drop by on Saturday to check it out.

i had returned from TRU and confirmed that the new Joe arrival is indeed Rip Attack sets ,consisting of SE with bike and Elite Viper ,each selling at RM54.90 .
heck,i wouldn't buy these should there be a 50% discount.
the Rip Attack line is the last of ROC stuff to arrive on TRU.

and here's another free Joe comic .

indeed,another Wave 1 SE with Wave 2 head and the same Elite Viper ,minus the accesories for that price tag, hasblow is just plain obvious trying to "RIP" us off..pun intended.

i'll skip online preorder coz its still early.

hot dayum, FF's backpack is awesome..too much sweeeetness in POC line.i'm also lovin the fact that the filecards have reverted back to ARAH / 25th design..now i can start collecting them again ,after disposing all my ROC filcards.POC filecards has an updated modern look on them.

here's issue 155.5 of GI Joe ARAH, a continuation of issue 155 that was released wayyy back in December 1994.the characters return in their vintage / 25th costumes .and the good news is Larry Hama is back on board..yayy! i need to start reading all my ARAH comics again.time to dig up the heavy piles of comics.

beginning July,there'll be monthly issues of GI Joe ARAH continuing from iss. 156.

get it here... http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?g2nzzenj2ig

For me, the artwork is on par with the Marvel series .I, for one am glad to see old favourite characters return in their classic outfits.
in the final issue (155),the Joes were disbanded but they'll be back in the next 1 or 2 issues.
for a recap of issue 155, get it below .

http://www.filefactory.com/file/b17355h/n/155.rar

i am having problem uploading to mediafire so i used filefactory.scroll to the bottom and click Download Now.scroll to the bottom again and wait for 30 seconds ,then click Download with FileFactory Basic .

check out these bad boys from Joe Con..POC line will end in 2011 to make way for GI Joe movie sequel toys .
these are the figures that I like.

Commando Snake Eyes (mucho awesome..reminiscent of Sideshow's 12 SE)



Sgt Slaughter



Spirit Iron Knife (I mistook him for Billy of Predator fame).Anyways he makes an almost accurate Billy.



Low Light (I did a custom of him some weeks ago after waiting for hasblow to release him ,for what seems like an eternity.Well he is finally here)



Storm Shadow (I don't dig this look but the head is perfect for a Gaiden custom)



Destro (Man ,he sure packs a wallop.It's worth getting just for the gatling.I am thinking of a custom of Blain from Predator)



Cobra Shock Trooper (very much an updated Alley Viper to me..comes with loads of accesories hence another SWAT custom candidate)

whoa,RM49.90 is freakin expensive for those two.i am not getting them.
could this be the price tag we will expect for POC?i sure hope not.

i agree completely with Odinn .with a few ringgit more, you can get a 25th vehicle plus fig.wtf is Hasblow M'sia thinking?

my crystal ball informs me that these two will be peg warmers no doubt.
as for Shippy, he's just another part swapping figure but at least he stays true to arctic environment.not so with Doc.the rainbow colored outfit is plain hideous.

no wonder all ROC stuff from PG TRU were gone. i asked the supervisor and he told me they were sent back to KL..now i know the reason.

and knowing is half the battle!

deja-vu ,Electronic Duke is indeed selling for RM100 now based on TRU promotion.
