Although I bought him when i was a kid and put him on my Fish Tank along with his pet... heheheh matttracker: Yup, and also the weapons pack accessory of the BBI Elite Forces are good alternative for your joe figure.... |

Hehe, no problem Mazingga.  Wave 4 of the solo packs has been announced and it looks like they will be solo versions of the 5 packs, except for Baroness. Also, check out the assortment for wave 3 (2 Zartans per case!) and the boxart for the "Cobra Legions" (Cobra 5 pack #2) and the sound base Cobra Logo. www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/menu.aspx?menu=1264Gold |

I hope I can still get a Cobra Boxset in the short future, he he he! The singles pack will be good so we can start army building. The Viper sets and other Valor vs Venom sets are also dropping down their prices on EBay. The figs are good for army building.
@mz - Thanks for the info and I am thinking of purchasing the Elite Force vehicles. ^_^

Update on the Joe scene Looks like that rumor about the Joe launch this Saturday on Oct 13 is true. It will be held at the Robinson's Galleria and sponsored by Toys R' Us and organized by Toy Soldiers 1:18 collector group. More details over here at Action-figure.com www.action-figure.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=22083No announcements on which figures might be sold at the launch though (if any). Gold |

awesome updates! thanks, gold. i've been out of town (and thus, away from my computer  ) for two weeks and was pleasantly suprised to see the updates. great remakes on wave 5. i especially like Gen Hawk, Flash and Snow Job! that HISS tank remake is also an answered prayer!  still digesting that Sharc-Conquest cross-over though. but the Grand Slam figure is great (although I remember he originally came with the JUMP jet pack in the 80s). hope they reissue Killer Whale and Tomahawk soon. |

Amen to that brother, amen to that! I hope they decided to come out with an updated Sky Striker, Dragonfly and of course, Tomahawk! I was pleasantly surprised when my Dad called 2 weeks ago, he was asking if I were into GI Joes and of course, I said yes. He said that he'll be buying a couple of them and will be bringing it with him when he comes home this Xmas.  Again, welcome back Bruticus! |

Unfortunately theres no 25th Joes for sale does anyone know when? Yeah, a lot of people went to the event hoping to get the figures and left disappointed. Sadly no news yet on whether the solo carded line will come out locally (but I think it will). The way I see it, the line is similar to TF G1 Classics, kind of meant to be a "filler" line until the movie toys come out in 2008-2009 (from reports, the line was originally meant to only go up to wave 3 only, but thanks to popular demand, the line will expand further).

perhaps there were some originally available at the malls but they disappeared quickly because of hoarders? i'm not sure but i know there were people selling carded ones before as low as 400-500php a piece MOC

richardthebrave - nah, the single packs has not yet been released at malls, only the first two 5-packs... so far only one shop in gh has been able to bring these in (at least that's what i think)... hopefully others (Gtoys etc) follow suit...

Hehe, actually 2 stores have brought it in, the other shop is Ram's but the selling price is 800 each (!!) for most of the figures (including the recently released wave 3)  Here's hoping the figures do come out locally, if they do, chances are they might be the same price as Star wars figures (350 or so) Gold |
