Messi's love of Harley is the purest thing in this thread.

If she could, would you spend the $800 to get one?
I'm not saying I wouldn't.

My 4H store order came in! Currently drooling all over the place. I originally passed on Haloid Scaphoid and Skapular since Haloid got both, but there's no way I could pass on them this time. And, of course, the glorious Stone Troll!
4H PLEASE SO GOOD

We could only be so lucky.
If it ever releases, I can see it being a three pack. Ready to pay ~$400-500 for a silver suit Joker?I really wanted that jokerthat's the costume from my favourite scene
Look any answer here is going to incriminate me...
Add in Gold Dress Harley and make it 700-750 I'll bite.
I'll pay 500 without her

What if it's $600 and includes the gold dress, but no Harley figure?

I've continued to add GI Joe figures to my collection. I find myself going for "open but complete" versions of these guys. I'm an opener, anyway. Plus the open versions of the Pursuit of Cobra guys can be way cheaper than the MoC versions. Up first is probably my favorite of the bunch, Pursuit of Cobra Beach Head.
I've always loved this character. When I was deciding what figure to go with, I decided against one of the anniversary updates of his classic look. I still think it's awesome, but the Pursuit of Cobra update is just too awesome to deny. Just a bad ass update of a cool character. All the gear they gave him turned him into a one man army. Love it to death.
Up next is GI Joe Resolute Duke.
Even though the Pursuit of Cobra Duke is cool, it's a step too far from his classic look for my linking. I do like the more tactical look of the PoC figures, so I wanted that for Duke. I feel like Resolute is a nice middle ground for him. It's his classic colors, but given a Call of Duty style makeover for the modern world. Plus the Resolute Cartoon is really cool, so it's nice to have that represented on my growing GI Joe shelf.
Next is the Ultimate Cobra Commander.
This was a hard one to settle on. There are just so many modern versions of Cobra Commander, and most of them are really well done. I opted for the Ultimate version that came out in the Retaliation wave simply because he comes with two heads. I can have my preferred look (the hooded CC) but switch out for the chrome mask version should I want some variety later on.
Last, but certainly not least, is the Pursuit of Cobra Firefly.
Another personal favorite (easily in my top five Cobra characters) given a bad ass update in the PoC line. I love all the body armor he comes with. He feels like a legit demolitions expert now. Super intimidating, but still very much Firefly. Couldn't be happier to have went with this version over the 25th edition of the classic look.
There's still maybe another 10 - 12 figures I want, then I'll call it a day on Joe figures. At least, until Hasbro relaunches a Marvel Legends style line.

They do that a lot, we never got Yellow Jacket, Ultron Sentry, Crossbones, etc.
Even after they showed them at a toy show.
Yeah, I guess they do. I am just shocked to see it happen to Joker. The other two I have no idea why they wanted to do those.

I'm not. It was a terrible representation of the character, and cancelling him made the henchmen pointless too.
Not really the henchmen were in the boxer joker scene no? Pointless anyway but lol.

SH Figuarts Padme landed the other day, couldn't believe how fast it got here (NZ) from Asia.
I seem to have ended up with a bit of an Episode 2 collection.

Awesome, lastplayed! Any idea how she looks with Black Series figures?
Speaking of the Star Wars Black Series...I love the new Darth Vader!

lol I'm just glad I got it. I was a bit late to the pre-ordering party and bought it from some random on eBay (at least with good feedback) a couple of months ago.
I only have BS Krennic so can't really say. The Bandai Clone Trooper figure kit I have there is about the same scale/size as BS, so that might give you an idea.
Yeah that BS Vader looks great! Here she is with the Bandai Vader figure kit:

I see a sexy Enterprise in the background.
Padme looks pretty good. I'd probably pick it up if I actually liked the character.
Episode III Obi when?

Not a huge GI Joe fan but I LOVE the look of that Firefly. Where would I be able to pick one up internationally?

A ThinkGeek store appeared out of nowhere at my local mall to my surprise, so I scoped it out. Ended up picking up a figure I'd been eyeing online for a while.
Wish they'd had Superman too, but they were out. I loved that line as a kid, so these releases were super nostalgic.
Also went by Toys R Us and picked up the new Final Chapter Jason.

This guy is a few years old, so he's only available through the after market. So, unfortunately he's not readily available for purchase.
