I found the Storm Shadow with Ninja Lightning Cycle today at Target only two of them though and might I add Storm Shadow comes alittle warped on his right leg and hand cause of the packing plus he doesn't come with the waist cloth. Not worth getting alot of especially since the same variant will come in two packs. I'm glad you found this, the Targets I frequent still don't have them yet, but the stuff they have is on sale though. What are your thoughts on the Ninja Lightning Cycle, is it a good quality item? |

Nah the cycle sucks it's poorly designed for the joes and cheaply made. The only reason to get this is for a different colored Storm Shadow, that's it! |

So has anyone bought any GIJoe merchandise lately? I'm still just waiting for the Arashikage Six pack and GIJoe Ninja Battle set. The rest of the current line doesn't really do anything for me  , not a big VvV fan I guess. |

I did buy some new Transformeres at TRU for sale at 15.00 a pop they were Shockblast, Exclusive Energon Megatron & Optimus two pack, and the other I can't remember his name but he's a Decepticon boat. I plan on going back to TRU and picking up Energon Tidal Wave and Scorponok for the same price. |

What's your opinion of the Venomous Maximus figure? I was a little shocked they even made this one. Those Night Creepers could make some nice custom fodder  , I'll have to add them to my list too. I've been debating whether to get the Crimson Sabotage set . I'm just eager to get the Ninja Battles set when that comes out  . |

I've been debating whether to get the Crimson Sabotage set . I'm just eager to get the Ninja Battles set when that comes out . The Crimson Sabotage set is worth getting specially for the price, the fact that it comes with 3 Crimson Guards, and at this time I believe they are on sale at KB for 20 percent off the 20 bucks price. I would love to do a Night Creeper custom but their bodies go weird and just don't work well with the other molds. They did a pretty good job with the Venomous Maximus mold his body cemetry is fine and I can look pass the larger left arm but as usual with new joe molds the waist's have trouble setting with the torsos.  This molder just doesn't get the way the old ARAH molder allowed more of a dip in the torso to allow a snug fit with the waist. |

I got the latest Storm Shadow/ Kamakura figures today. I almost bought the Linx/Green Night Creeper but decided to wait until after Christmas. I do like the O-ring SS and Kamakuru's colors look better. What I was most impressed with was the weapons. SS's Twin Hook Swords (aka Head Hook Swords) look great even though they are historically a Chinese WuShu/ Kung Fu weapon  . The back pack for SS was cool too. |

That's great news I just have no luck in finding those guys. I would not pass up a Link vs Night Creeper if I ever found them, specially since I'm into building a Night Creeper army and the Link guy looks pretty good for custom fodder. I did win a BJ's exclusive Red Storm Shadow lot auction on Ebay and I also did a BuyItNow of the Black Dragon convention exclusive so I'm looking very forward to getting that figure when it arrives! I paid 25 bucks alone for the Black Dragon figure which I didn't care to do but it's so hard to find and that was the cheapest I've seen it in awhile. |

I've been going crazy lately with some joe buys.  I bought 2 Patriot Grizzly tanks, 2 Cobra Crimson copters, 2 more Operation Crimson Sabotage sets(4 in total) and a Castle Grayskull all in the 10 to 12 dollar range cause the local Kay-Bee toys is closing down around my way and has everything discounted to 40-50 percent off. The Operation Crimson Sabotage sets were 20 each at a different Kay-Bee which was the only place I could find them. I just can't pass them up I must have some kind of sickness, but I do plan on giving my nephew for Christmas the Patriot Grizzly and an Operation Crimson Sabotage set so that sould lighten my load abit. |

I do have an outstanding figure collection too many to count, but I try to cut down on the vehicles cause they take so much space. I like to keep MOC variants of the figures especially doubles, triples, or more of what I like. |

I recieved the GI Joe Black Dragon convention figure today which I paid 25 bucks for and he doesn't really look worth it. But he is a hard find and a harder find for a better price. But what can I say I have to have every Joe Ninja. |

Well I got the Ninja Battles set yesterday at Target and have to say that this is problaby by far the greatest deal Hasbro has put out with the joes. For 14.99 you get 5 figures, a bunch of weapons, DVD, figures stand, and a comic book, I had to pick up three of these when I saw them and took a double take with the price. |
