G.I. Joe News from HissTank.com

I picked one up for $44 a couple of weeks ago. Today I found it for $38 so I'm gonna return the other one. If it gets down to $26 I'll repeat the process...and maybe buy an extra.

All you have to do is go to customer service with the receipt. they will give you the difference as long as the reciept is within 90 days, no need to lug it back.

Weirdwolf · 01-11-2009, 11:56 AM

Ooh, hopefully I can find one at the discounted price. $60+ was just too much for a mild interest in the line.

Nothing beats the crab legs @ Outback, they are unbelievably good.

As long as the stores don't inspect the packages this will go on. I have to say it is a bit annoying to keep hearing about this over and over again.

What is the difference between the red masked cobra troopers and the black masked cobra troopers? I picked up a few the other day finally and could have sworn that the old versions from the 80s were just black masked?

Also, what is the deal with the foil trimmed cards that some figures come in? It seems that some have been available with the old school style and then also with the foil trim on the cards? Is one harder to find than the other or something? Any other differences?

Is there a thread that has a listing of the commonly missing accessories?

The only one that I know of off-hand is the DVD Battle Pack - Dusty's Web Gear.

Is there any others to look out for?

This would not be for the very few mistakes that happens from time to time... but the big mistakes in the production run.

Well I've got a pretty good size cobra army now and I was wondering if anyone seperates them into squads/platoons/units/brigades/fireteams.

I want to organize them somehow but I'm just curious what other people are doing and how they are ranking/placing troops

Optimus Scourge · 01-13-2009, 09:04 PM

I like squads myself. I have say five or ten troops to an officer, of course, depends on the troop.

scarecrow · 01-13-2009, 09:31 PM

Commando Snake-Eye. The all black one with the fixed crotch. That's always been my favorite one.

Wave 5, I guess.
