Who's Preordering?

I'm curious to know If any of you guys are going to preorder 6 inch Snake Eyes?Snake Eyes along with Roadblock , Scarlet and Duke are currently available for preorder on Hasbro Pulse. I'd love to but I'm gonna hold out.As insanely cool as the figures look, I'm not one to do the whole " preorder" thing. I'll wait it out and go after the figures when they hit store shelves.This will officially be the first time I collect  any modern 6 inch figures .I stayed away from Star Wars Black series and have been strong enough to resist the lure of Marvel Legends.GI Joe will be the straw that breaks the camels back.No surprise there , tho 😉

    Nice!I think its worth what they're asking , when you take into consideration the total package.I just hope they release a decent looking single carded Snakes , cuz I'm passing on this one :(

    Nice snake-eyes figure... I have come to the point that I just can't enjoy the newer toys like I do the old stuff from my childhood. Also I just don't have the funds to collect everything so I save my moneys up for getting the things I lost or never had and wanted when I was a kid.

    BTW... Anyone know what's going on with 5 Point Five-Alive? Its gone to invite only!

    I didn't know this was such a thing, but thanks to this post, I checked it out. I considered buying it, but $40 for a six inch figure is kinda pricey. I'm sure it's a collector's item... but I'd be opening mine up and displaying it.

      I thought about you Fuji and how this would be a cool starting point for you to kick off a toy collection 😉 You can always hold out for the regular release wich should be 20 bucks or so. That's what I'm doing.

      Good to hear that they'll be including him in their regular release. I look forward to it.

    If its a great representation of a childhood favorite ,I'm gonna go after it.But yeah, not really gonna go after every new product thats out there. There's still way too much vintage goodness left to acquire.

    5 Point Five Alive was a blog run by Brothermidnight. Last we spoke he was in the middle of a hiatus although I think he may still be posting on Instagram. Sucks because I really enjoyed his content.Not many great toy blogs left.

    I pre-ordered, but I think I'll end up giving it away as a prize on my site. I'm not into collecting new toy lines.

Go! Games and Toys

The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars  to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games   and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou

A GI Joe Post That's Not Classified

Image
As much as I love the Classified line of Joe figures, I feel like there's other Joe stuff out there that deserve a little bit of that spotlight.   Pictured are two custom cardback figure protectors and four Diamond Select 💎  GI Joe figures.   I'd been looking for a way to protect my stashed 3.75  o-ring Joe's when I came across these online. I picked up William Perry's and Snake Eyes protectors and will be adding more as they are made available.   These are unpunched, clean and professional looking cardbacks that feature vintage artwork  on the front and file card on the back.  Diamond Select just doesn't get the props they deserve in my opinion. As much as I dig  their Marvel Minimates line, these Joe Minimates are equally cool! I'm not even sure I want to open these guys up. I mean I want to, but would hate to.
