Seller in Greece has some amusing items...Monster Blaster box from Europe  I think Clutch is giving Roadblock a handjob. Cobra Invader with evil Payload. I've seen his filecard before, same as US character, but he's a Cobra. LOL.  Guess Battle Wagon didn't sound as cool in Belgium/France.  Shadow Ninjas had regular sized file cards over there...but were just as dumb. INVISO POWER...look-out, Cobra Ninjas!  |

Duke said defeating Cobra would be a piece of cake.  Snake-Eyes and agent Faces weren't so lucky.  |

Toy solider stuff from China is silly, a lot ridiculous mix of scales. But I like the 300 year old cannons here...in camouflage!  Also, camo'd rock and the wooden gate thing for no reason. |

Gi joe action figure lotHow the fudge do you have a random lot with two blue Steel Brigade figures in it? And the poor seller has no idea why his loose lot of figures is at $165. Separately, who knows what he'd get for each one? Though I was never sure why that Steel Brigade was so much more desirable (rarer?) than any of the other 1993 mail-in exclusives. More of that Tin Armada mystique.

I think all Steel Brigade figures are crap. I remember ordering mine as a kid, and getting the figure in hand, I was pissed at how big the head was.

It's got a big head. I thought it sucked that it was twice what a retail figure was and your only real contribution was the code name, the rest was checking boxes. But I did get one, eventually, not the blue one, though.

Yeah, I never had a blue one with that super nice gold helmet  I was always much happier pretending I was Mercer, Snake Eyes, or Duke/Hawk. Hey Bravo, do decent articulated Force Awakens 3 3/4" Storm Troopers even exist? |

Hey Bravo, do decent articulated Force Awakens 3 3/4" Storm Troopers even exist? They do, but it's probably well past the point of finding them at retail. I saw them once or twice late last year, didn't feel like spending the $13. They were Wal-Mart exclusive 3 3/4" Black series, wave 2, I guess. The only TFA 3 3/4" black series I've seen recently is Finn. I did see super-articulated 3 3/4" Captain Phasma once and probably should've bought her and resold her. LOL. Lotta people couldn't find that wave. |

Thanks, I'll probably try to hunt one down....or wait till the next movie comes out and hope for a rerelease. The 6 inch black series really pisses me off. After having the Clone Wars Ahsoka and seeing how well articulated that figure is, we know they have the technology to make awesome 3 3/4 figures....but they don't. My guess is the more expensive 6 inch line will end up being a failure in the long run. They made a Tie-Fighter, but are there any plans for an X-wing? It just seems like a huge loss when those figures become peg warmers.
There's a hurricane here on the coast, they say we may lose power.

With 3 3/4", I think it's Hasbro going for sheer profits over what they see as a mostly season line. Zip lines and missile launcher for kiddie appeal, spend the money there, not on moveable joints (or build a droid parts, the rumor is Disney wants to keep that for itself).
Supposedly there's another 6-inch vehicle planned for next year. I dunno if 6-inch will fail. Maybe if prices go up. But somehow the Marvel one keeps going and I'm amazed at the obscure characters it has...like Female Beetle and Cottonmouth.

I did lose power, but its back, YAY!
Marvel and MOTU work in 6" form because there's basically no vehicles, or very few and non-essential.
Star Wars is about space travel, it has to have vehicles. I don't see Hasbro making accurate scale vehicles for 6" figures, but maybe retooled or slightly larger ones in a scale that matches the vintage line more. Like how the original Falcon could only hold two figures in a cockpit, stuff like that. It's the only realistic way they can make it work. An AT-AT that uses AT-AT driver in the whole cockpit. Or they can make an X-wing or try to work with the movie and tv developers to make more smaller vehicles, the Jedi Starfighter is a good example.
