tgbobafett · 04-18-2013, 12:59 PM

flipwilson · 04-18-2013, 03:46 PM

Shit. I am so jealous of that Freeman.

Lately, I've found the xmen boxed set and the inhumans boxed set.

Props on the Xevoz in the background. I have a compleate set, 1 of each character, including the superhero one and the bird one and the big ape guy and the mummy. They are currently in a box due to space issues, but man did I love that line.

Spats · 04-18-2013, 05:39 PM

I've got the complete set, triples of some except for the Storm wing and rune slayer pack. They're such an awesome line, sad they had such a short run.

Stopped at my local Dollar General and they had another Blue Snake Eyes, so I scooped it up. Went back and did my Snake Eyes research today and now I want this...

Been a while since I posted here as well. Descriptions of what's what are in the image titles (whatever managed to fit that is).

The Spin Shot Scourge I just got has an issue with one of his arms not locking in (AT ALL!) in Vehicular Dragon-thing mode, as you can see in the photo. This a common thing with Spin Shots? My SS Kup seems fine. Pissed and need a fix - anyone? I'm very new to these lil' guys and Scourge was the highlight of this set for me.

And couple of minor things:

-Bot Shots Scourge, Blitzwing, & Sgt. Kup (along with Archangel + Hun-Gurr) were from HTS, not retail.

-MG Rex is Minifigure-scaled (or Kreon-scaled if you prefer). 1:48 scale I believe, so no popping Joes into the cockpit.

Sorry for the quality.

No, it's not common but it does happen from time to time. My single pack Scourge is fine, although the spin gimmick doesn't quite work as well as it does on Spin Shot Prime.

But speaking as someone who owns almost ever Bot Shot released so far, there is a very specific order you have to go in so that all the pieces lock together (regardless of the particular gimmick). If even one of them is off, it won't lock in properly. With Spin Shots in particular, make sure the tabs at the wrists go over the indentions in the feet and pull out on the bumper a bit to make sure it's all locked in place.

My favorite gimmick for this line by far is the Flip Shot. Every single one I've gotten works beautifully and 99.9999% land on their feet after a successful flip.

Awesome! I gave the bumper a tug and the arm appears to actually stay in. Though it still does tend to fling out when prodded a bit.

Thanks a lot for the assist!

I was a bit disappointed with Blitzwing and Kup - no unique heads?

Unfortunately, that's going to happen no matter what due to the springs attached to them.

Yeah, there is a LOT of parts reuse in this line. But that's part of what keeps them so cheap.

LOL I don't know, Joes from that timeframe all have very colorful weapons...Maybe Hasbro was scared that they would be passed off for real guns if they were spotted in public?

F1sh1000 · 04-19-2013, 10:02 AM

Hey, Which store is everyone finding the Injustice figures at? Two Packs specifically

yeah really! The best figs look about as close to a real person as a toy can get - if they try for realism in most everything else, why blue or red guns?

Black Arbor · 04-19-2013, 08:23 PM

Been a bit since I've shown off my spoils of war.

Found both MU Colossus and Thanos at a Toys'r'us. Horray!

Also got both of the new Batman Unlimited figures at my LCS. Despite people complaining that they want supporting characters instead of variant Batmen, I'm perfectly happy with it as long as they're legitimate variants (like a Red Son Batman Perhaps?)

And finally, with DKR Batman as my handy helper to hold 'em up, I got two tickets to Iron Man 3! In Imax! It ain't cheap, but It's my first date with this girl I like, so what the heck? Keepin' my fingers crossed!

Iceman · 04-19-2013, 08:35 PM

Got me Larfleeze today.

Poison Shadow · 04-19-2013, 11:22 PM

Got my Injustice Deathstroke and Green Arrow set today. I like 'em quite a bit despite a few flaws I mentioned in the DC 3.75" appreciation thread.

Even though I haven't taken picture of it yet, I love how they came with a cardboard backdrop of one of the game stages. I think it's Arkham Asylum. Does anyone know if WW and Grundy have a different one, or the same?

Oh, man. I recognize that, it was the only Snake Eyes toy I owned as a kid.
Which is somewhat depressing. I wish I knew what happened to all of my old Joes.
