Congrats.....I don't collect ROC Joes, but I know CS Snake-Eyes is sought after.

scarecrow · 12-06-2009, 01:09 AM

Thanks! Yes he is quite the elusive Joe.. But the fact that I found both Charbroil and SE means that he's probably going to get very common soon.

Nice score. I found CS SE too and I love him. Charbroil is great as well. I really like the amount of detail on his outfit. That Moon Knight MM looks awesome!!!!

Ah, memories. First time I saw this version on the shelf, I thought "Somebody screwed up. Cliffjumper is NOT yellow!"

The funny thing is, I never saw the Red Bumblebee at any store. Weird.

Anyway - congrats, dude!

The pre rub yellow Cliffjumper is the second rarest minibot, and I had to have it in my collection, as it's the only AFA 85.

I don't even remember seeing these on the shelves!

The same seller also has an AFA 80 pre rub red Bumblebee that I need.

Thanks bro!

Good for you & I hope you're right because I have yet to see that version of SE.

No prob!

And Blackrazor, I was talking to ludovicotek and he says that there have been multiple sightings in his area so I'm positive it won't be long till they are everywhere.

ludovicotek · 12-08-2009, 07:05 PM

Yup. With the prices going down on Joes they seem to be moving off the shelves pretty well. And with the holidays approaching stores are stocking up and it seems they are getting the newer waves.

I'm sure you'll be seeing CS SE soon enough.

scarecrow · 12-10-2009, 07:54 PM

I saw at least five City Strike Snake Eyes today between the TRU nearest me and the Wal Mart in the same town, so I know these things are getting out there.
Here's the last thing I'm getting before Christmas... Gotta leave something for the family!

This figure is superb. No articulation sucks, but it looks so damn good.

trebleshot · 12-10-2009, 08:19 PM

So it's like a McFarlane toy, then? :P

I hope you guys are right about City Strike Snake Eyes. I saw him once before but didn't have enough money on me at the time and had to let it go. I just hope I don't regret it later.

scarecrow · 12-10-2009, 08:21 PM

The only ROC Joe I've never seen was the White Coat Dr. Rex, and considering SE isn't a variant or anything I'm sure he'll be very attainable.

Yes, it is like McFarlane which I hate, but the Medicom MGS figures are a step up from the shit that McFarlane made themselves, so it's cool! If I could afford the RAH figures I wouldn't even blink at these guys. They're good for what they are though.

TM2 D-bot · 12-10-2009, 08:54 PM

Look who got tired of the Decepticons:

Never saw the White Coat, either. I've only ever seen the Black Coat version once anyway (so I bought him).

McFarlane toys to me were affordable plastic statues that had variable display options. In fact, the last couple I bought, I only did it because I thought it would look good as a display piece. It had become a painting or a piece of furniture to me, and it was at that point that I stopped buying them altogether.

Oh, and to stay on topic, I got Human Alliance Skids from my wife as an early Xmas present.

I agree with you. Like I said, if it weren't Metal Gear, I wouldn't even think about it. My dream line is a Modern Era articulated MGS line by Hasbro though! That would rule.

My girl got me the Camo Old Snake as Christmas present too, but I have to actually wait until Christmas!
