Picked up one of those little flying ship things... can't remember the name. Anyway, it won't look the same for very long. Or at least it won't look the same once I get started on the repaint... which might take a while to get started.

Yep, I believe those are wave 7, which are just now starting to appear. Scout and wild bill are part of that wave. They started hitting caly last weekend. Maybe next week they'll make their way to atlanta.

Lt. Starfox · « **Reply #102 on:** May 02, 2008, 07:58:46 AM »

yep, that sounds like the name on the 2, the Indian had a hawk or eagle as an accessory plus lots of more goodies

jacensolo66 · « **Reply #103 on:** May 02, 2008, 02:59:51 PM »

picked up wild bill, spirit, new snake-eyes, new duke, hiss driver, and the cobra infantry viper. the card back also shows major bludd but i didnt see him

I have a question, is the scarred Cobra soldier supposed to be the one they called Scarface? He was in issue #16 and Dr. Venom (not a big as a dork as Mindbender and waaaaaaaay before) used to pump him full of toxins! Is the scarred Cobra Officer packed with the Crimson Guard (Fred) Scarface?? Any Larry Hama GI Joe Comic buffs in here?

jacensolo66 · « **Reply #108 on:** May 02, 2008, 09:38:17 PM »

pretty much yeah i think he is scarface. good issue where scarface, dr venom, quinn, and general flagg(i believe) all die. that was #16 right?

Darth Spice · « **Reply #109 on:** May 02, 2008, 09:41:52 PM »

I recall the issue well, it was called Night Attack. I believe you are mistaken on the deaths but I think Snake Eyes and Quinn were already "dead"

Can't remember it exactly but I remember Cobra Commander and Hawk went at it on the back of the tank and Destrho shot Hawk in the head, don't worry non-readers, it only grazed his temple! I really should start tracking these down with all the shows I go to, it is ONE thing from my childhood I really miss.

jacensolo66 · « **Reply #110 on:** May 02, 2008, 09:49:10 PM »

the one i am thinking about is #18 or 19 then. in this one venom shoots quinn in the back and quinn drops a grenade blowing venom up. oh and in #16 destro shoots hawk in the back but he has a bulletproof vest on. i still have most of mine. of course i have like 20 boxes of comics so that is not surprising.

jacensolo66 · « **Reply #111 on:** May 04, 2008, 09:18:19 AM »

with all the figures that have come out or been announced only 2 figures from the vintage wave 1 r remaining and this includes vehicle drivers. the 2 r zap and short fuse. wonder when if they will be released eventually?

pshorrock72 · « **Reply #112 on:** May 04, 2008, 09:31:53 AM »

I just think this whole line looks freakish - too tall and skinny. awkward upper abdominal articulation. granted that hasbro has made some freakish gi joes in the past but the formula just is wrong.. remember the super buff era of gi joes? I think that was called the Joe extreme.. anyway.. the figures have great points of articulation but need to put some meat on them bones - they all look like they need a sandwich.

Darth Spice · « **Reply #113 on:** May 04, 2008, 10:48:41 AM »

The one that stands out in my mind is Sgt. Flash. The only one I thought looked a tad strange. I'm still wondering when they'll make Dr. Venom and Billy since they have made Scarface now!

pshorrock72 · « **Reply #114 on:** May 04, 2008, 02:00:30 PM »

well not only do they look famished but some look like they are ready for a pride parade.

Darth Spice · « **Reply #115 on:** May 04, 2008, 02:39:50 PM »

It wouldn't surprise me this day and age there was a Joe under the don't ask policy. However we'll leave the politics at the door! I thougth that's what Chuckles was back in the day!

I'm going to go out later today and see what Joe comics are to be had.

Vadersfist · « **Reply #116 on:** May 04, 2008, 06:35:31 PM »

As far as comic packs go spice, their is some really cool comic packs, IF you can FIND them at the store. I know their is several I am looking for so I can get the DOC fig that is being offered from the comic packs. Hope you did well with your pick up of the comic packs.

I think he was talking about Spirit and Wildbill.For all you newbs out there,there is a GI Joe named wildbill and he's a helicoptor pilot.I was able to find the HISS Driver,Wildbill and the Viper on Saturday.I am looking forward to wave 8.

SHB033196 · « **Reply #118 on:** May 05, 2008, 11:45:56 AM »

found 3 of the wave 7 figs this morning, but somebody had already grabbed bill and spirit

TRU had the exclusive 3 packs this morning, but ms shb said they looked like repaints to her, so we passed.

I knew that, I was just trying to be funny. Guess sarcasm doesn't translate well over the internet.
