G.I. Joe Classified Series: The Chatty Pointless Thread & Performance Art

[Damien]

Did you get the Firefighter at EBGames? That's where I managed to snag one for $30 and a second Sniper for $18. The Legacy figures are a bit more plain-jane due to their realism basis but they are just packed so well with accessories that they are a great value at a cheaper price.

Yeah, I got him at EB. He's 29 and change there right now. They didn't have the sniper or I might have been tempted. I ALMOST got Retro Mindbender since he's 26 right now but I just don't want him enough to spend any more money at the moment when I know I'm about to get hammered with new Joes, a whole new MOTU line, and I gotta pay up for Elric from Savage Crucible. So I made myself be content with one new figure for now.

The accessory thing I can go either way on. Particularly with this guy, but I think this applies more generally; I love that the options exist because I can make the figure I want. But after that -- all those 'extra value accessories' end up in a bin and I'll probably never look at them again. So beyond allowing me to initially make the figure I want most, the value add is pretty questionable there.
But I still really like him.
