good haul
RHINO and Kamakura ?got them from ebay or online shop?

International ebay seller eh?
Till tsg mentioned bout RHINO, i've forgotten bout it .I thought my ROC collection is complete .
RHINO is one long overdue vehicle for me .Must get it next year before completely forget about it.
But first, need to find and reserve lubang to stash it .

kerberos, if you can ,do snap a pic or two with as many figures you can fit onto the RHINO .

This makes u the 4 or 5th Joe collector in LYN to own the awesome RHINO .

Speaking of which ,Odinn your wave 3 should reach your doorstep any day now eh?

Fuh ,respect for kerberos .
Wow, 14 figures ,that makes it the best figure storage vehicle in GI Joe ,i suppose.
Not really into vehicles so do correct me if I'm wrong.

Today's haul .
And I'm done with Wave 2 .Moving onto Wave 3...

This makes it 10 for my AVs .



Can't find more JVs so have to settle with 3 .

Ooo, care to share what "one item" that is? Joe related?
The elastic straps looks longer OOP so gonna have to trim that.
Maybe peel them off completely .I love the new vest ,truly kick-ass .(hehe,just finished watching Kick Ass DVD moments ago) .

Added on December 2, 2010, 12:35 amsweet figure .but it's more on the statue genre ,yeah?
i like the Human Priestess figure but didn buy coz of limited articulation .

Added on December 2, 2010, 12:41 amJV is cool but not "that" cool compared to AV (which is not in my all time top 3 trooper favorite).Minus the "wings" and you get a POC Night Viper.So it's a 2-in-1 trooper.

For the cartoons ,i am referring to any cartoon you have seen ,be it on TV1 or VCD or DVD format .Series 1 thru 3 was shown on TV1 back in the late 80s and early 90s,

For the comics ,yeah you can include electronic media ,aka online scans.

Hope u can find CS SE though.

I had disposed over 30 of Neo Vipers and 10+ Elite Vipers from my collection.
Given them to my young niece along with over 100+ 25th and ROC figs .

haha, i'll keep you in mind should i have future disposals.

Urm ,AV... ...
yeah, no news on wave 3 vehicles yet.probably next month or february?

I don't agree with you .The gap between the release of one wave to another wave may take a little longer but you get to save some moolah or in my case ,some serious moolah .
If you want frequent arrivals ,then collecting TF is the answer .

On a side note, for you AV collectors ,one local seller is listing it on evilbay for a bidding price of RM55 .Or you can opt to Buy It Now at RM60. And the seller mentioned there'll be more AV in stock .Also listed was POC Firefly .

As for myself ,I have some AVs coming soon .
IMO,RM55 is just wayyy overpriced for one figure .Well ,i dont mind paying for rare 25th Anni figures back in 2008, but not for the POC AV.

Yeah i know the feeling .Coming across a toy that you dont expect to find ,but hoping to find is always satisfactory .

Seems to me that you are troop building a crimson army .

To me ,the reasonable price is in the range of RM20 - RM23 ,as evidenced in the pricing of 25th Anni single carded figs .The ROC movie is partly to blame for the huge price increment .

For Crimson Guards / CGs ,there are a total of 14 versions beginning from ARAH .
I only have the 25th versions (single carded non removable helmet, comic pack version with removable helmet, single carded Python Patrol and the Hall Of Heroes version) and I believe that's the one you are referring to .

As per request ,here's a comparison shot of 25th CG and POC AV.



While we're at it ,this is another comparison shot of Defense Of Cobra Island and POC AVs .
I love both versions which differs only in terms of paint scheme and the inclusion of longer peg on the backpack for
storing the grappling gun (for POC AV) .



Defense Of Cobra Island Range Vipers and AVs



And here's my collection of CGs .With the exception of 2 CGs ,the rest comes with removable helmets .
May this bring inspiration for you to build up your red army .

Hehe ,not much .Just around 750+ figures.

Thanks man!

You're rite .The removable ,comic pack version comes with a vintage rifle and revolver .I can't imagine why those sophisticated ,well educated CGs would arm themselves with those weapons .
I do have issue with the holster as the revolver tends to drop easily .El' cheapo Hasblow shoulda included proper holster.

As for the SRO 3 packs and the TRU troop builder sets ,I believe they weren't available in Malaysia.

Sorry man ,I don't have Crimson Dynamo. Not into IM ,just selective figures .Btw ,are you referring to the Resolute 5 Pack B.A.T?

Do share with us your crimson army once they are ready to rock n roll .
I am guessing they will be Cobra Commander's elite personal guards ,eh?

Well, a hundred is rather large for that purpose .It' more suitable to being a regular army .
An ambitious goal I must say ,to collect just crimson themed troopers within such a short span of time.
Nonetheless ,I am excited to see your army .The sight of a collection of troopers is always pleasing to me.

The Resolute BAT represents a deadly ,menacing version than the regular ones .
I owned only 5 of them .Wanted to get more but have to buy the whole boxset and I wasn't keen on owning more CCs and the Red Troopers .

Wave 3 is delayed to January .Dang ,I sure hope the arrival of waves 3 and 4 won't be simultaneous else it'll sure wreak havoc on my budget.

13, if all goes well .
no love for wave 3 SE?

Skydive is rather cool.I'm getting 3-4 of him.

Well, the straps is a minor inconvenience .
There won't be a better SE than this one but i won't debate further as I'd made my point in earlier posts.

Haha, I like multiples especially for troopers.The price hike has prevented me from getting more troopers though.
How many AVs and Red troopers do you have currently?
