Re: POST ALL TOY FAIR DISCUSSION HERE
Good news on the Renegades GI Joes. I'm a big fan of the show.
Cool that we'll be able to get the final wave of Indy figures. I hope they are affordable and available elsewhere besides SDCC.

Re: POST ALL TOY FAIR DISCUSSION HERE
Here is the GI JOE Sky Striker. One painted up as a Transformer for a SDCC Exclusive...should be a F-15 not a F-14. Not bad but way out of Scale.

Re: POST ALL TOY FAIR DISCUSSION HERE
Not too bad looking. Pretty close to the original, even though they lost the mold.
It'll do well. It's not a JSI Tomcat, but I might buy one if they're not too expensive. I do have a lot of Joes.

Re: POST ALL TOY FAIR DISCUSSION HERE
Normandy: Yeah, it's definitely potential fodder for a Greyhound. Do you know who makes it? Looks like it's part of a Capt. America line so i'm guessing Hasbro?

Re: POST ALL TOY FAIR DISCUSSION HERE
The Skystriker will look great hanging from the ceiling in my sons room, that is until he is old enough to play with it. I was really disapointed in the Captain America showings. I guess, I got my hopes up that some of the vehicles would be realistic, or at the least painted olive drab. So far, the only thing that is WWII about the line is Cap's helmet. Hopefully, the bad guys will have a more historic feel to them, but I? wont hold my breath.

Re: POST ALL TOY FAIR DISCUSSION HERE
Aferguson, yes it's from Hasbro's Captain America line. It looks like an M-8 and with a little work........
Here's a pic from the fair....... http://toyfair2011.figures.com/showphot ... ca&cat=575
Oh I didn't see that.......it comes with a motorcycle and figure. I wonder if its a Harley?

Not that great.

I do like some of the new 1/18 Joes from the 80's do not care for the New show and toys...guess I'm just stuck in the 1980's with GI Joe.

If the Skystriker does well, what are the changes that they might be tempted to rerelease the USS Flag?

Re: POST ALL TOY FAIR DISCUSSION HERE
I am pretty sure they have stated they would never do a USS Flag again, to big and expensive blah blah. But i hope the skystriker leads to other great stuff maybe a new variation of the rattler or someting more fighter feeling for cobra. I have 4 25th rattlers and seeing the sky striker makes me want to get even more of them to shoot down.

Re: POST ALL TOY FAIR DISCUSSION HERE
May as well just call this Hasbro Fair 2011.
Every site pretty much covering mostly their stuff.
Talk about redundancy.
That's all fine and good, looking forward to some of their stuff, but what's going if anything on in the obscure corners of the building.
Guess we'll have to wait for the big who-ha of Hasbro to be over to get much news on anything else.
Maybe their isn't much of anything else.![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)

Re: POST ALL TOY FAIR DISCUSSION HERE
Oh, I know I'm dreaming ... but still maybe in modules spread out over the course of 2-years. First you start with the bridge and then you get the middle deck that it snaps too. Then they make the forward and aft sections.NightVyper wrote:I am pretty sure they have stated they would never do a USS Flag again, to big and expensive blah blah.

There is a USS Flag on display as a toy store here in Sacramento (and for sale), but it is beat up and covered with a host of other toys.
And yes, if they release the Skystriker, then it makes perfect sense to rerelease the rattler again. Was that two years ago that the Rattlers were on sale at Target or one? When is too soon to release a rattler again? It was set as at a great price point.

Re: POST ALL TOY FAIR DISCUSSION HERE
I know I'm guilty of talking about the Joe stuff right now, but I think the tanked market pretty much put a major dent in the 1/18 stuff we love.Dauntless wrote: Maybe their isn't much of anything else.
Here is the positive side, if somebody didn't anchor the Toy Fair it could morph into something that the 1/18 wouldn't want to come back to in the future.

Re: POST ALL TOY FAIR DISCUSSION HERE
my goal is to get 3 skystrikers to go with my 2 conquests. i dont know how many VTOLs i will get i am really excited about those.
I really liked the new cobra the enemy troopers but i can't justify buying them and getting rid of my 70 that i already have of the 25th with silver logo, add officers and night watch i have over a hundred of that design so i think i am stuck. and the cobra vipers look super nice but the same problem I have like 20 or so of the 25th ones and i dont think i want to start over, if only they had looked more futuristic or something. I did pre order 20 rock vipers they look great.

Re: POST ALL TOY FAIR DISCUSSION HERE
the armoured car is not that bad. With some work it could be made to a reasonable looking Greyhound. Scaling from the figure and bike it looks to be about 11 inches long, which is perfect for 1/18. Definitely something to keep a look out for at least. It's as good or better than the chap mei and power team stuff.

Re: POST ALL TOY FAIR DISCUSSION HERE
Yeah I'm thankful that there is some cool Joe stuff coming out. Sure would have liked to have seen that Cobra truck the Renegades are always driving though, but I guess it's a little two early for that to come out, along with the rest of the Renegades team.MCalamari wrote:I know I'm guilty of talking about the Joe stuff right now, but I think the tanked market pretty much put a major dent in the 1/18 stuff we love.Dauntless wrote: Maybe their isn't much of anything else.

Star Wars has some cool stuff, though that Republic Attack Shuttle looks like a piece of crap IMO.
The Indy news is the best so far.
Hasbro is the anchor. We can't expect much diversity in this economy. That's the way it goes. One huge fish and a few little ones in the tank.
I still holding out for that discerning roving reporter (with a camera) to find something else in the building, but everybody's covering the story of the day. Much like real life news.
Ok I'll be patient.

So they will be releasing the lost wave, but just at SDCC or will it also be available on-line?
It seems to me a shame any time a toy retailer releases an exclusive at the SDCC, as much how we were talking about how large toy companies just move people through their booths, when SDCC has an exclusive their display really is just a temporary store front, which I don't like as much.
I was watching the Indy films last week, and I think that modest production runs of the Indy figures could turn it into a viable line (not as viable say as the Iron Man figures, which little kids still seem attracted to).

Re: POST ALL TOY FAIR DISCUSSION HERE
The Indy set will probably be available at Hasbro Toy Store.com for a limited time. That's where I'll get mine. Though they sell out quick with stuff like any GI Joe exclusives you have to jump right on them.

Re: POST ALL TOY FAIR DISCUSSION HERE
hm.....that ship looks exactly like the Black Pearl ship released a couple of years ago, only a different colour.
Interesting, since JAKKS is doing this toyline not Zezzle, who did POTC 3. I wonder if they bought/bowered the mold or if they are all under the same company.
Either way, glad to see it, sure beats ebay prices.

Re: POST ALL TOY FAIR DISCUSSION HERE
I find it amazing that this is a Toy Fair "trade show" used to show what companies like Hasbro will be offering for sale to other retail companies in the next few months. It is open only to the trade / press, but they seem to put a ton of focus on items that corporate buyers can't purchase because they will only be available from Hasbro for three days during another convention in San Diego during the summer. Why can I hear a Wal Mart rep saying "So i can't buy Indy figures, or this big box of star wars figures, or this GI Joe biker girl or or this Transformer/GI joe crossover jet? But I can be drowned in all the Captain America I want to put clearence stickers on?.... Really?" The amount of time, money and effort these compaines seem to put into toys they essentialy sell for three days and then never again, has always seemed like a waste to me. Just my 2 cents.
