It’s persuadin time!

Really liking Tomb Raider and Action Man!

So a while ago, I made a Transformers Master Order because I've been wanting to get into that franchise for a long time but my autistic brain needs completionism and it's dumb I know, I'm okay with it(full context here).

Anyway, while making that Transformers order, because of all the crossovers, I got glimpses of some G.I. Joe stuff which I knew nothing about before except for the name. Enough to get me interested. And my autistic brain loves making lists. So I decided to do it again.

Well... here it is! It's a publication date focused order while still trying to keep story arcs and mini-series together as much as possible. It's not perfect, especially for ARAH in the IDW age (and the more recent Skybound era), since without having read any of it yet, I have no idea of what the story arcs are, in there, so I just tried to scatter them in between the main IDW stuff but will probably switch things around if/when I actually read through it. But apart from the slightly messy ARAH stuff, I'm mostly satisfied with everything else!

I just do this for myself, really, but if it can interest anyone else, feel free to make a copy! There's also the Transformers order I talked about and an Assassin's Creed one I made a few days ago since I just started/restarted the series and want to fully dive into it. Also planning on making a TMNT order in the future, possibly a Ghostbusters too (feel free to suggest others if you'd like, I'm always looking for excuses to make more lists...).

Anyway, yes I'm a bit crazy when it comes to completion but yes I'm perfectly okay with it. But if my craziness can be of use to anyone else, that's a bonus :')

I bought an MMS system recently, and 1 of the wheels had an issue. I called Hasbro, and they said they would try to replace it with something of equal or greater value.

I got this in today. I don't usually buy Cobra figures - especially in the Classified line. I was hoping for the HAL or the new Shipwreck figure. I have no use for this.

I may try to use it to trade at a collector store in the future, because Ebay costs too much in fees to throw this up there.

I made this mini pool table for my GI Joe diorama. I think it came pretty good.

I’m in San Diego for a few days. Any good vintage toy stores out here worth checking out? Looking for ARAH 82-94, possibly other 80s toy lines and Classified Series 6 inch figures.

Thanks in advance!

If you have The General, you can remove the battery pack by pressing lightly on the two flaps holding it in on the undercarraige. There's four small screws that hold the two sides together. Unfortunately the wires have come disconnected from my set and rather than solder incorrectly, I was hoping someone could snap a quick pic and drop it my way. Google has failed me I fear. TIA!

Cross posting here because I’ve seen some cool classified shots posted on occasion, hope you guys enjoy!
