I used to go full bore with G.I.Joe when I was a kid. After Star Wars and Transformers died down, at least I had those to keep me going! I really like a lot of the new ones comming out, and have picked up a few. I want to get the M.A.S.S device sets! I just hate the fact that the figures have been out for only a year or so, and they already have TOO DAMN MANY versions of Cobra Commander, Duke and Snake Eyes! I have seen the Rattler and a G.I. Joe jet at Target. I'll probably have to pass on them, but I'll still grab a few figures here and there.

As for the Mighty Muggs, I'll most deffinanlty pick up Snake Eyes! Probably a couple others too.

The dreadnoks remind me of the village people...I might pick them up for a laugh. Stand-in thugs for clone trooper blaster practice.

When I started collecting again back in 2004, I was collecting the 21st Century (First Waves), GI Joe Classic Remakes, and Dragon 12" Figures. I still really do like most of them. They are awesome. But never got into the 3 3/4 figures. That part of collecting is reserved strictly for Star Wars.

I have tried to stay with just Star Wars, but now that Transformers have the "classic" line, where they look a lot more like the cartoon, and some of the G.I. Joes are pretty damn good, I just can't keep my hands out of the other cookie jars! LOL My wife just sort of rolls her eyes with the other stuff, but really tries to help with Star Wars.

I loved G.I. Joe as a kid. Stormshadow was my first figure then Snake Eyes. Can't wait to see Ray Park as Snake Eyes in the film. I don't collect the new ones due to the fact that I already collect Star Wars, Marvel and DC stuff. I think I'm about to quit buying Marvel Legends. I just saw the new wave at Target and they were priced at $15 each!!! They were 8 bucks when they came out. This whole fuel thing is killing our figure prices.

I was actually surprised the other day when I went to Target. G.I. Joe was 7.99 a figure, and last time I was there they DROPPED the price down to under 7.00! I think it is like 6.89 or something. I might still pick up a few here and there. Star Wars is my primary collection, but just the other day I picked up one of the new Transformers Classic Ironhides!

Well I got a Hiss Tank driver today, and was thinking about getting the tank itself. I am holding off for now, becasue now that I know it is not an exclusive I can get it pretty easy a little later. At least I hope so... we all know how wait and see usually turns out. LOL

i found warrant officer flint today! i think im gonna sell him on ebay though. ive seen him go for $30 before.

Man I wish I would have known that yesterday!!! I saw TWO Flint figures! I guess next time I see him I will grab two and keep one for myself! I should be hitting a couple more Wal-Marts on my way home so if I see him again I will get them.

theres the warrant officer and the tiger force flint. the later is worthless. the warrant officer is from wave 1.
Oct 19, 2008 4:50 PM | Report Abuse reply
Yes, that is the one I have been seeing. There were two wave 1 flints at one of the Wal-Marts. I'm gonna see if they still have them tomorrow.

at the local walmart, they have a joe display. it has about 30 figures on it and 3 are the warrant officer flint. the only difference i see is the card back. the wave 1 figure only has about 10 figs. on the back, the newer 1 has more. i guess the rareity of this figure has run its course. they did the same thing w/ scorch from saga 2.
