Talon's Nest http://www.talonsnest.com My personal review of GI Joe, facts, figures and customs Thu, 18 Mar 2010 04:48:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2 en Current Status http://www.talonsnest.com/?p=10 http://www.talonsnest.com/?p=10#comments Thu, 18 Mar 2010 04:48:41 +0000 brad http://www.talonsnest.com/?p=10 WOW! Its been more than a year since I last posted. And if anyone (other than Darvocet, I hate you fuckers!) has been around recently, you’ve seen no updates. Well, Here’s some updates. The custom count is at 990. The Wife (believe it or not) has made noise about the Crew of Serenity and I’ve started thinking about it. She’s also seen some of Soulgem’s work on JoeCustoms.com http://www.joecustoms.com/userops/profile.php?uid=2340

and has asked me to maybe create some Disney customs he didn’t get to, specifically Aladin and Jasmin, Beauty and Beast Gaston and Belle. These customs will take me over the 1000 mark. Have a couple of other ideas roaming around in the grey space between my ears. Have also be repainting my Iron Grenadier Con Set Inspired Customs to more closely match the Con Set I got with my bonus this year.

Anyway, if anyone’s reading this blog, have patience. I hope to get to photographing the collection soon and getting them more play on Joecustoms.com

Too damned busy. But I have updated the security measures on the site because I can’t stand all the FUCKING spam I get. I wish I could send all these spammers the Inferno Virus and have their computers explode! Especially if I could have the virus cause their monitors to blow up in their faces! Fuck them ALL. So, if you wish to comment, feel free to comment to me through pm on the different joe sites

The rest of you spammers, DIE

The computer crashed, the wife is pinging and the jobs have me at the point where, if my hair weren’t cut short, I’d be yanking large handfuls out. The good news is that the computer should be back up and running this weekend and the job at the base will be straightening out now that I’m permanently assigned to a post

The amount of work left setting up this website is staggering. At last count, I have over 950 plus figs to photograph and post. Plus, there’s still parts to aquire and I must concoct a plan to get the Joe Con exclusive sets from 2005 to today.

So, abandoned? No, temporarily set aside so as to facilitate other life needs. This site will be up to my stats soon. How soon? It’s in the title

Even though my Customization has reached the predetermined lull needed to begin photographing the umpteen gajillion customs I have, I’ve had no time recently.

“Deadlines and Commitments, what to leave in, what to leave out”

Am currently waiting on a few parts from Alyosha to finish some of the pending customs and hoping to have time to get the camera operating again in the near future. For those of you interested in Aly, go check out his website http://www.brokenarrowtoys.com/cart/ and check back here soon. Maybe there will be some more goodies…

There is no meaning! Much like there is no time, or so it seems, for me to work on this site :( While Customization continues, I’ve basically run out of parts for the time being, and have 30+ customs awaiting parts. Never mind the 800+ I have “waiting for their close-up, Mr Deville”. Between life, impending wedding, pets, stress, and having to constantly clean house, I’d be crazily out of my mind…

…if I wasn’t there already ;)

And btw: SPAMMERS, DROP DEAD!!!!!!!
