Even then I don't know if that is a $100 figure. The entire body is a resuse of the Hawk v5 from the Soundfighters... The legs are a different color... So... they could always buy another Tiger Force figure and do a parts swap.

That I disagree with. I liked the new characterizations to be honest. The last thing I wanted to see was another goody-two-shoes, can-do-attitude, Bumblebee. I think there is a difference between the majority of people that watched the original cartoons and myself. I originally read the comics and then watched the cartoons much later. So, Larry Hama's portrayal of GI Joe was eye opening while the cartoons were background noise with ho-hum plots. The same held true with Transformers... I was deep into the comics before I ever turned on an episode. The comics were not as kid friendly as the TV shows were... so even now... the TV shows for both do not hold up well for me. The transformations are exactly what they were on Earth as we saw from the Seekers and the mold they used for Prowl, Sideswipe and Red Alert. I umm... might have bought a couple of toys last year and might have them in front of me on my desk. I agree though that the Optimus Prime Cybertronian cab mode looks like what will be hauling trailers here on Earth by 2045.

As much as I would love to see Keaton suit up as Batman... fans have been clamoring for years for them to make a Batman Begins type movie with Keaton as the older Bruce Wayne and Terry McGinnis as Batman...

I watched the whole thing... Non-Spoiler comments It was better than Transformers: The Last Knight Voice acting was okay... Backstory between the Autobots and the Decepticons is far more interesting than just the traditional Transformers good guy vs bad guy routine. I liked that alot. It made the conflict make a lot more sense. Interesting introduction to Bumblebee... Some of the roles have been changed... so Red Alert who as a toy or on the cartoon was in charge of security is the Autobot medic for most of the season. Not a big deal. Watch it... it was a decent way to kill some time. The cartoon models are definitely toy accurate to 2019's Siege of Cybertron. I should have bought an Omega Supreme

This is becoming hysterical...

I would not think so as you are trapping the rusty staple in the slab with the book. The slabs are not airtight so oxidation can continue. This was demonstrated once before when someone put their slabs in a fireproof safe. The chemicals in a fireproof safe actually expedite oxidation.

You also have to remember that the standards of all hobbies and collectables are not held to the same level. GI Joe figures are not counted as being restored when you replace the O-Ring even when it is not the same gauge as the original Hasbo O-Ring from 1982-1994... why? Because it is accepted that the black rubber band is in a perpetual state of decomposition and needs to be changed. However, if you put some paint on it... that is a big no no. Comics have their own thing... Baseball cards have their own thing... centering and registration that is not taken into account on comics. However, all of these grading companies are looking to see what the other grading companies are doing even if it is outside their lane. Don't tell me for a second that Voldemort's crew and their recent changes to their labels was not influenced by how their parent company sees cards. Things change... it happens.

No... at least not for me... To be fair, not all purple books are the same either. I always use my Batman 11 as an example. As I have been told, this is a book that would probably be put into a conserved label if I resubmitted it. (As I have been told). Now, what's it 'worth' ? I am sure it is worth more than a purple label book that has pieces added, or professional color touch if there had been a major scuff, or if there was part of the cover photocopies and added in if a section was torn off. Is it worth as much as a blue label 6.5? Definitely not... but it is definitely more desirable than some other purple label books. To do the math... I paid $1300 on 1/25/13 from Comiclink. (The book is not for sale and one of the last things I would ever sell so I don't mind discussing what I paid for it) Let's take a look at comparable sales around 2013 for a Batman 11 (Using GPA - There were no sales of a 6.5 in 2013) 2012 - Blue Label 6.5 went for $2,750 However, this was before CGC introduced the conserved label. If I was selling it, I would not be offering it for only half of a blue label book given the desirability of a Batman 11 and the availability. If I was selling it, I would not let it go for 'half' of the value. I would seek and probably get more. However, if I had an ASM 300 in a purple or conserved label I would take what I could because I could walk around blindfolded at a comic con and stumble into a universal copy of an ASM... So, what I am trying to say here is that it depends on the book. A Tec 27 with Color Touch is certainly going to be worth more than the usual percentage of it's blue label counterpart than a New Mutants 98 with color touch.

Yes... I believe it would come back conserved unless they would view it in the way of certain other characteristics where they will put it in a blue label but drop the grade... They did that with tape and undocumented signatures. However, I see staple replacement as a necessity if you have a book in a holder with rusty staples. Once those staples begin to rust they will migrate into the paper and cause even bigger problems... so for anyone that has a book with staples that are already rusty, would they want a conserved label 'now' or a stained book with rust migration in a blue label five years from 'now'?

I only say that because I received a package today which contained a four issue miniseries I didn’t realize existed of Eternal Warrior that I missed. Aside from ASM it’s the only other thing I enjoy reading. The problem with valiant is that there is no consistency and it’s mini series after mini series so I miss a lot of things.

For me... Eternal Warrior - I thoroughly enjoy that character along with the Geomancer.

This book has been milling around on my WTB list for a number of years but there was always something else. I thought this was too nice to pass up. After losing out on a couple of things tonight I broke down and pulled the trigger ... So that makes 3 books from CLink and 1 Book grabbed from losing out at CLink.

This guy says that they mainly popped up in Germany... Might be legit... they were released albeit not widely distributed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbOkNDBhrJU The figure appeared later in the Big Jim line with a different outfit... So that would be why you see some without the clothes... http://megomuseum.com/community/showthread.php?120223-The-Zython-from-Mattel-s-Space-1999-line

If we are talking about a common book then I would say X-Force 1 in a 9.8. It doesn't say so on the cover but I believe it says so on the polybag. Would something like Spider-man 1 Platinum Edition count?

This is actually a good question !

The only GI Joe set that could have been made sooooooo much better... is one of the few things I would love to see them make with my guidance (of course.) They had a set of Zartan morphing into Hawk that was the most half essed parts swap I have ever seen. Considering that it is done in some really questionable colors... It could have been so much better. So first... here is the sequence I am talking about that comes from the comics. I actually stumbled upon the art at NYCC and bought it on the spot from Bechara back in 2018. I think they thought it was part of the later run at issue 80 but it was from issue 30. This is what Hasbro did for Joe Con. Would it kill someone to make an actual morphing Zartan / Hawk where it is more than a parts swap? Granted all you have to do in the three figure set... is create one new figure... the other two can be something like they other two on the sides in 'normal' colors... But the middle 'mid-transformation' figure could be so much more. How much does this set seem to run btw? Around $250-$350... I think someone out there can do better... rant over.

When are they going to let the cat out of the bag tell us who they are looking to cast for Season 3's Thrawn and Ezra ? Just sayin'

Soderbergh takes you to school by stripping away the color, dialogue, and music from Raiders of the Lost Ark and replaces it with his own soundtrack from various musicians such as Trent Reznor. His letter explains it better than I can. Link to the full film hosted on his website: http://extension765.com/soderblogh/18-raiders I will be streaming this to my tv at some point. I am thinking of sharing the screen from the iPad to the AppleTV
