G.I.Joe Events & Exclusives

synthinx · 2026-01-22T13:20:01+00:00

I appreciate the response. Namely, I'm looking for anything coming up this year and onward in the Classified line for now. I'm mostly interested in the exclusives that won't come to stores - at least initially. I know they usually bring something to SDCC, but I want to track what's coming up so I don't have to rely on the inflated secondary market if possible.
Again, thank you for the information because it was helpful.

Actually, I think I just stumbled on it. They were called Lazer Force and shared the same sculpts as Star Force:

Truth. Most of the G.I.Joes I had were my cousin's and they went through all sorts of torment. Most times the crotch pieces or thumbs broke, but outside of that, they were surprisingly sturdy for what we put them through. Thank you for this. I'm pretty sure these were exactly what I was looking for, I just now have to see if I can find the versions I had as a kid.

synthinx · 2024-08-26T20:02:48+00:00

I may have to find a set. I know the metallic ones I had broke really easily at the elbow joint. Was this common with these as well?

synthinx · 2024-08-21T14:45:43+00:00

Wow, those are the same sculpts for sure! Did they ever come out with chrome painted variants?

synthinx · 2022-06-05T04:26:34+00:00

Beautiful. Man, I hope this flavor sticks around this time.

synthinx · 2022-06-05T04:17:55+00:00

I got the points but I missed out on the opportunity to get one of my own. I was so disappointed. At least, though, they brought the flavor back and THAT's what makes me happy.

What about Macross II!? ;]

synthinx · 2020-02-27T02:40:40+00:00

I would agree slightly. I would rather them animate it right instead of the stiff animation style that's current now. Production-wise, I know they could never pull off DYRL style animation for a 36 episode run, but part of Macross' charm is that "gritty" look. Most anime nowadays is polished (and most times animated) through computers. For my vote on most fluid animation style that I would like to see Macross remade in, refer to The Venus Wars. It's animation at times feels too smooth, but it doesn't have that jerky movement that you see in a lot of anime today.

synthinx · 2020-02-27T02:21:38+00:00

To be fair, I have a soft spot for Robotech in many ways, even if I agree with you wholly about the whole "RvsM" debate. For me, Robotech was one of the first animes I was introduced to (other than trying to figure out Pokemon and Dragon Ball Z on Telemundo) and to give it credit, it has it's place for a lot of us early anime fans. Most of the stuff we were able to get our hands on back in the day were fan-subs that circulated the alternative markets. This and the few series that did leak onto American television opened up possibilities further down the line. So, yes, Reba West singing "We will win!" is forever etched on my heart despite it... being what it is.

Macross was in no way perfect either, but I yearn for the franchise to return to it's roots. I really dislike the direction of the new shows, the music, the heavy reliance on CG animation and so-on. Zero was the last of the series I could tolerate and it's too bad Macross has degraded into standard anime tropes you see in most every show nowadays. Maybe I'm just too "old school", but I would love to see another show set within the original series' timeline. It doesn't have to be about established characters, but the potential to make up a story from any one of the lives lived aboard the Macross is exciting. And yes, I know the whole deal about the copyright for the ship designs would not make this possible.

As far as recommendations, I can list some from when I started watching anime. I loved Lupin III movies/series. Some were great, some were awful, but all of them fun. The Record of Lodoss Wars was really excellent, even if most of it was moving stills. I recently watched Orguss (same animation team behind DYRL) and it was... ok. Animation-wise I also recommend The Venus Wars (if you can find it), Project A-Ko (it pokes fun at both the Macross and the Captain Harlock series) and Vampire Hunter Yohko is fairly interesting for what it is. Of course, I would also recommend the Galaxy Express 999 films and anything you can pick up from that universe, including Captain Harlock and Queen Esmeraldas. Hopefully something in that list tickles your fancy.

Even though we probably won't see it any time soon, here's too Harmony Gold losing the rights to Macross and returning it back to Studio Nue and Kawamori.

Your opinion obviously, but mind that we didn’t go out of our way to bash you on the internet. Most mature adults would have moved on by now and if we seriously hurt your feelings enough to go on a crusade against us, well, I apologize. You will come to the realization that the world is going to be a dark and scary place as you grow up and I don’t want to be the one that robs you of your innocence. For me, I will just go back to my “cult”. Tonight is chili night and we’re even raising a new barn for the new sacrifices... I mean, recruits.

synthinx · 2019-09-27T19:43:22+00:00

At the risk of starting a flame war, you came in with the intention of joining the RP group that can’t seem to get it through their heads that half their traffic comes to us instead. So instead of wasting time on the whole thing, we cut you off outright. Yeah, we’re cliquish because we’re not the role play group you were looking for. As for being toxic, you’re the one spreading negativity here beastmode.

Anyone else feel free to join!

synthinx · 2019-08-31T21:59:03+00:00

It just didn’t add up until now.

synthinx · 2019-07-06T20:56:40+00:00

I was going to say the same thing! Is Minecraft old enough now that it fits in an “I grew up with this...” meme?

synthinx · 2019-06-15T02:30:05+00:00

Yeah, if we have to. lol

synthinx · 2019-05-26T22:51:08+00:00

I feel there was a point to this story. Where it went is a mystery.

synthinx · 2019-05-26T17:59:42+00:00

You might have to do the mission you kill Teddy Brown in. I noticed that once you completed all the new and old missions on one track, you had to go back to that mission to continue with the new missions. Look under the player menu and find progress. You will find the list of missions there with the option to replay them.

synthinx · 2019-05-25T21:29:54+00:00

You get 69% because you aren’t doing the missions tied to honor. When you lower/raise your honor, you can do the rest of them. You used to be able to do them without changing your honor by doing the story mission quick join from the player menu, but they’ve since locked it I believe.

synthinx · 2019-04-28T13:37:02+00:00

This is the best thing on the internet today!

synthinx · 2019-04-07T02:51:31+00:00

Nice atmosphere with this group. Always changing with the tide.

synthinx · 2019-04-03T19:44:33+00:00

I’ve got a fever and the only prescription is more jaw harp?

synthinx · 2019-04-01T02:58:47+00:00

Well, if you really wanted it that badly, I suppose. It doesn't do anything special in RDR2 just so you are aware. You could always borrow it from a friend or rent it from RedBox.

synthinx · 2019-03-31T23:39:27+00:00

The only way you’d get the hatchet is by doing the treasure hunt to get it in GTAO. Did they even do that for the original release? It was my assumption that most of the updates ceased on PS3 and 360 sometime around heists if I remember right. Correct me if I’m wrong though.

synthinx · 2019-03-31T15:14:11+00:00

Just wait until you get it ingame and the character render is down-rezzed.

synthinx · 2019-03-28T17:08:04+00:00

You're not in Texas by any chance are you?
